16. Consequences of Termination

In the event that the Customer’s licence to use the Publisher’s Products is terminated for whatever reason, the Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any charges paid to Lexia, and in addition shall be required to pay all charges due pursuant to condition 8, and provided that to the extent that such charges have not yet become due pursuant to the Quotation, all such charges shall become immediately due and payable on termination. In circumstances where the Customer’s licence is terminated other than due to the Customer’s default, then Lexia may, at its sole discretion, agree in writing to a pro-rata reduction to the amount of charges payable.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1. Lexia shall have no liability to the Customer under the Contract if it is prevented from, or delayed in performing, its obligations under the Contract or from carrying on its business by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond its reasonable control, including (without limitation) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, 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 or default of suppliers or subcontractors.

17.3. A waiver of any right under the Contract is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given. 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.

17.4. If any provision of the Contract (or part of any provision) is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed not to form part of the Contract, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the Contract shall not be affected.

17.5. The Contract constitutes the whole agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter.

17.6. The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of Lexia, assign, transfer, charge, mortgage, subcontract or deal in any manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract. Lexia may at any time assign, transfer, charge, mortgage, subcontract, or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights and obligations under the Contract.

17.7. 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.

17.8.
