11.7 Createmaster shall have no liability whether under the terms of the Order or at law to the Customer for any exercise of its rights pursuant to Sections 14.7 or 14.8.
12. PUBLICITY
Createmaster may refer to the Customer in its marketing materials including any use in any client list, prospectus for investors, press release, advertisement, or any other marketing or promotional material.
13. FORCE MAJEURE
Createmaster shall not be in breach of the Order nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under the Order if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of Createmaster or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network or the internet, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, pandemic or epidemic, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or sub-contractors. In such circumstances Createmaster shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing such obligations, provided that if the period of delay or non-performance continues for three months, either party may terminate the Order by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party.
14. NO WAIVER
The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy under the Order or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. If a party waives a right, power or remedy arising as a result of a breach of any provision of the Order, this shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy arising as a result of any subsequent breach of that provision or any other provision of the Order, which will instead require a variation to the Order in accordance with Section 21.
15. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
The rights, powers and remedies provided in the Order are (except as expressly provided) cumulative, and not exclusive of, any rights, powers and remedies provided by law or otherwise.
16. SEVERABILITY
16.1 If any provision, or part of a provision, of the Order is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of these Terms and Conditions, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.
16.2 The parties shall use [all] reasonable endeavours to agree within a reasonable time upon any lawful and reasonable variations to the Order which may be necessary in order to achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the same commercial effect as would have been achieved by the provision, or part-provision, in question and with no fundamental change to the bargain between the parties.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
17.1 An Order (including these Terms and Conditions) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties in relation to its subject matter, and replaces and extinguishes all prior agreements, draft agreements, arrangements, undertakings, or collateral contracts of any nature made by the parties, whether oral or written, in relation to that subject matter.
17.2 Each party acknowledges that in entering into an Order it has not relied upon any oral or written statements, collateral or other warranties, assurances, undertakings, misrepresentations or representations that were made by or on behalf of the other party in relation to the subject matter of the Order at any time before its signature (together, “Pre-Contractual Statements”), other than those that are set out expressly in the Order.
17.3 Each party hereby waives all rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to it in relation to such Pre-Contractual Statements but for Section 18.2.
17.4 Nothing in this Section 18 will exclude or restrict the liability of either party arising out of its pre-contract fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment.
18. ASSIGNMENT
Neither Party may assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with the Order, or with any of its rights or obligations under it, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that Createmaster shall be entitled to assign or transfer an Order to: (i) any of its Affiliates; or (ii) to any third party in connection with any restructuring, reorganisation or merger or acquisition, without requiring the Customer’s prior consent.
19. NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY
Nothing in the Order is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish or constitute any partnership or joint venture between the parties, create a relationship of principal and agent for any purpose between the parties, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.
20. VARIATIONS
Subject to Sections 1, 7.3 and 7.4, no variation of the Order shall be effective unless made in writing (which excludes email) and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties or by their duly authorised representatives. If the Customer wishes Createmaster to proceed with any proposed variation, Createmaster has no obligation to do so unless and until the parties have agreed in writing the necessary variations to the Fees and any other relevant terms of the Order to take account of the change.
24. THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
24.7 A person who is not a party to the Order may not enforce any of its provisions under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
21. NOTICES
21.1 Any notice, consent, permission or other communication required to be given under the Order shall be in writing in English and shall be delivered by hand or sent by pre-paid first-class or recorded delivery post to the other party at its address set out in the Order, or such other address as may have been notified by that party for such purposes.
21.2 A notice delivered by hand shall be deemed to have been received when delivered (or if delivery is not in business hours, at 9 am on the first Business Day following delivery). A correctly addressed notice sent by pre-paid first-class post or recorded delivery post shall be deemed to have been received at the time at which it would have been delivered in the normal course of post.
23. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

23.2 Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Order, or their subject matter or formation.
