We will use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Statement.
15. Other important terms
15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under a Contract.
15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. We may not agree if, for example, the proposed transferee is unlikely to be able to fulfill his or her obligations (such as payment of amounts due to us) under a Contract.
15.3 If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each subsection of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining subsections will remain in full force and effect.
15.4 These Terms and any Contract can only be changed if we both agree in writing. These Terms and any Contract entered into between you and us may only be changed if we both agree in writing to that change.
15.5 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except where we agree to you transferring your rights to somebody else). A Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except where we agree that you may transfer your rights to somebody else. Neither you nor us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end a Contract or make any changes to these Terms.
15.6 Even if we delay in enforcing a Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking a Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Products and Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
15.7 Which laws apply to this Contract and the Terms and where you may bring legal processings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products or Services in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products or Services in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Products or Services in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
