17. General
17.1. Assignment and transfer.
(a) We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under the Contract to another entity but will always notify you in writing or by posting a notification on the Website if this happens.
(b) You may only assign or transfer your rights or your obligations under the Contract to another person if we agree in writing.
17.2. Variation: Any variation of the Contract only has effect if it is in writing and signed by you and us (or our respective authorised representatives).
17.3. Waiver: If we do not insist that you perform any of your obligations under the Contract, or if we do not exercise our rights or remedies against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights or remedies against you or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive any rights or remedies, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any right or remedy related to any later default by you.

17.6. Governing law and jurisdiction: The Contract is governed by English law and each party irrevocably agrees to submit all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Contract to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
