- The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Cyberi which is not set out in the Contract.
- Force majeure:
- For the purposes of these Terms, Force Majeure Event means an event beyond the reasonable control of Cyberi including but not limited to strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of Cyberi or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport network, 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, fire, flood, storm, a total failure of the internet or telecommunication services or default of suppliers or subcontractors.
- Cyberi shall not be liable to the Customer as a result of any delay or failure to perform its obligations under the Contract as a result of a Force Majeure Event.
- If the Force Majeure Event prevents Cyberi from providing any of the Goods and/or Services for more than 8 weeks, Cyberi shall, without limiting its other rights or remedies, have the right to terminate the Contract (or cancel any Order) immediately by giving written notice to the Customer.
- If an Order is cancelled or the Contract is terminated, in whole or in part, due to a Force Majeure Event, the Customer will be liable to pay to Cyberi for any Goods delivered or Services rendered on a pro-rata basis with a minimum charge of 20% of the price paid for the Goods or Services.
- Assignment and subcontracting:
- Cyberi may at any time assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights under the Contract and may subcontract or delegate in any manner any or all of its obligations under the Contract to any third party or agent.
- The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of Caretower, assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract.
- Notices:
- Any notice or other communication required to be given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the other party personally or sent by prepaid first-class post, recorded delivery or by commercial courier, at its registered office (if a company) or (in any other case) its principal place of business, or sent by fax to the other party’s main fax number.
- Any notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly received if delivered personally, when left at the address referred to above or, if sent by pre-paid first-class post or recorded delivery, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting, or if delivered by commercial courier, on the date and at the time that the courier’s delivery receipt is signed, or if sent by fax, on the next Business Day after transmission.
- This clause 18.4 shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action. For the purposes of this clause, “writing” shall not include e-mails and for the avoidance of doubt notice given under the Contract shall not be validly served if sent by e-mail.
<liWaiver:
- A waiver of any right under the Contract is only effective if it is in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy under the Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor preclude or restrict its further exercise. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
- Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under the Contract are cumulative and do not exclude rights provided by law.
- Severance:
- If a court or any other competent authority finds that any provision of the Contract (or part of any provision) is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the Contract shall not be affected.
- If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of the Contract would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.
- No partnership
Nothing in the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind between any of the parties, nor constitute any party the agent of another party for any purpose. No party shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other party in any way. - Third parties
A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights under or in connection with it. - Variation
Except as set out in these Terms, any variation, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, shall only be binding when agreed in writing and signed by Caretower. - Governing law and jurisdiction
The Contract, 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, English law, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. - Construction and Use
Cyberi shall not be responsible for adapting or modifying any Goods to conform to statutory requirements not current at the time of the acceptance or order. - Third Party Claims
The Contract or Contracts to which these Terms apply is between the Customer and Cyberi only. No third party shall acquire any rights against Cyberi and Cyberi shall have no liability to any third party arising out of or in connection with any Contract. All rights under The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 are expressly excluded except in respect of any manufacturer under clause 7.1.3 (who shall have the benefit of clause 7.1.3 notwithstanding the foregoing but whose consent is not required to vary these Terms). Furthermore the Customer shall indemnify Cyberi against all actions, claims or demands by third parties in tort or otherwise arising directly or indirectly in connection with faults or defects in the Goods (or the use of the Goods) or the Services provided. - Non Reliance The Customer agrees that Cyberi will have no liability for any statement or representation made by Cyberi (whether innocently or negligently) upon which the Customer relied upon when agreeing to these Terms, unless such statement or representation was made fraudulently.
- Information The Customer undertakes to provide Cyberi promptly with any information which Cyberi may reasonably require from time to time to enable Cyberi to proceed uninterruptedly with the performance of the Contract.
