18.1 Severability. Each of the sections of these Terms of Sale operate separately. If any provision or part-provision of these Terms of Sale are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, they shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable.

18.3 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if you breach these Terms of Sale or any contract with us and we delay in taking steps against you, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, and our previous inaction will not prevent us from taking action against you at a later date.
18.4 Rights of Third Parties. This contract is between you and us. A person who is not party to the contract shall not have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
18.5 Force Majeure.

Our performance under the contract will be considered suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues. You agree to provide us with an extension of time for performing our obligations for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to end the Force Majeure Event and/or to find a reasonable workaround.
