If any provision, or part of a provision, of the Agreement is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed not to form part of the Agreement, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of the Agreement shall not be affected, unless required by operation of applicable law.

The Subscriber may have the right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with clause 12.4
15.10.3 Except as stated otherwise in the Agreement, no variation of the Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by or on behalf of the authorised representatives of the parties.
