    12.1  The Contract shall, unless otherwise terminated as provided in this clause 12, commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for the Initial Term and, thereafter, shall be automatically renewed for successive monthly periods (each a Renewal Term), unless:
    12.1.1  during the Initial Term, either party notifies the other party of termination, in writing, at least 30 days before the end of the Initial Term, in which case the Contract shall terminate upon the expiry of the Initial Term;
    12.1.2  during any Renewal Term, either party notifies the other party of termination, in writing, at least 30 days before the end of that Renewal Term, in which case the Contract shall terminate upon the expiry of that Renewal Term; or

    13.3  Waiver: No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Conditions or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
    13.4  Rights and remedies: Except as expressly provided in these Conditions, the rights and remedies provided under these Conditions are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
    13.5  Severance: If any provision (or part of a provision) of the Contract is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.
    13.6  Entire agreement: These Conditions, the Order Form and any documents referred to in them constitute the whole agreement between the parties and supersede any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter they cover. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether in writing or not) of any person (whether a party to the Contract or not) relating to the subject matter of the Contract, other than as expressly set out in these Conditions.
    13.7  Assignment: The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of Saascoms (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under these Conditions. Saascoms may at any time assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under these Conditions.
    13.8  No partnership or agency: Nothing in these Conditions is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership between the parties, or authorise either party to act as an agent for the other, and neither party shall have the authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way (including, but not to, the making of any representation or warranty, the assumption of any obligation or liability and the exercise of any right or power).
    13.9  Third party rights: These Conditions do not confer any rights on any person or party (other than the parties to the Contract and, where applicable, their successors and permitted assigns) pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

A notice delivered by hand shall be deemed to have been received when delivered (or if delivery is not in business hours, at 9 am on the first business day following delivery).
