7. GENERAL
7.1. The headings in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms and Conditions.
7.2. We may transfer our Contract with you to someone else who will replace us under the Contract. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions 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 the Contract.
7.3. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms and Conditions to another person if we agree to this in writing. We will not unreasonably withhold our consent and will not delay in providing it to you.
7.4. Even if we delay in enforcing our Contract with you, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms and Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking our Contract with you, 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.
7.5. If a court finds part of these Terms and Conditions illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms and Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
