8. General
8.1 We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Each time you log in to the Portal, you will be asked to accept the most recent version of these Terms which will govern your use of the Portal. Please check these Terms regularly to ensure that you understand the Terms that apply at the time that you access and use the Portal.
8.2 Each of the clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
8.3 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
8.4 These Terms and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of you and us relating to the subject matter of these Terms and supersede any previous agreement or understanding between you and us in relation to such subject matter. You acknowledge that by logging into the Portal and accepting these Terms you have not relied upon any oral or written statements, collateral or other warranties, assurances, representations or undertakings which were made by or on behalf of us in relation to the subject-matter of these Terms at any time before they became effective (together “Pre-Contractual Statements”), other than those which are set out in these Terms. Each of you and us hereby waives all rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to it in relation to such Pre-Contractual Statements. Nothing in this clause 8.4 shall exclude or restrict the liability of either you or us arising out of pre-contract fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment.
8.5 These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and you and we agree that any dispute (contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with these Terms including any question regarding their existence, validity or termination shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
