    1. Communications. We are required to provide certain information to you in writing. By accepting these Terms, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically either by email or by posting a notice on the Platform.
    2. Severance. If any of these Terms should be determined by a court of law, ombudsman or other administrative body having judicial powers to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be severed from these Terms and deleted. The remaining terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect, and continue to be binding and enforceable.
    3. Waiver. If we fail to insist upon strict performance of any of these Terms, or if we fail to exercise any other right or remedy to which we are entitled, this will not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy and will not relieve you from compliance with any such obligation. No waiver by us of a breach of obligation arising under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any other breach.
    4. Third Party Rights. A party who is not a party to these Terms shall have no rights under the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise as a third party to enforce any terms of these Terms save for any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate entity within our group company.
    5. Entire Agreement. These Terms and any document expressly referred to in it constitute the whole agreement between us and supersede any previous discussions, correspondence, arrangements or understandings between us.
    6. Complaints/Disputes
      1. We will try to resolve any complaints or disputes with you quickly and efficiently. If you are unhappy with us, please contact us as soon as possible using the contact details set out at the bottom of this page.
      2. If a dispute cannot be resolved using our complaint handling procedure or you are unhappy with the outcome, you may want to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR). ADR is a process for resolving disputes between you and us that does not involve going to court.
      3. You can submit your dispute to Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) by going to https://www.cedr.com/. CEDR is the ADR provider we use and is approved by the government to provide ADR services.
      4. If you do not wish to use ADR or are unhappy with the outcome of ADR, you can still bring court proceedings, subject to the provisions of clause 16.7
    7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non- contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England.
