23.0 Miscellaneous matters

     23.1 When we communicate with you, we do so by email. You agree that email communications are contractually binding in the same way                 as properly signed and dated paper sent by post.

     23.2 Where we provide goods or services without specific charge to you, then it (or they) is deemed to be provided free of charge, and not                 to be associated with any other goods or service for which a charge is made. Accordingly, there is neither contractual nor other                             obligation upon us in respect of those goods or that service.

     23.3 If any term or provision of this agreement is at any time held by any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be                       treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it                     from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as                               severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.

     23.4 The rights and obligations of the parties set out in this agreement shall pass to any permitted successor in title.

     23.5 Any obligation in this agreement intended to continue to have effect after termination or completion shall so continue.

     23.6 No failure or delay by any party to exercise any right, power or remedy will operate as a waiver of it nor indicate any intention to reduce               that or any other right in the future.

     23.7 Any communication to be served on either party by the other shall be delivered by hand or sent by first class post or recorded delivery               or by e-mail.

                 1. if delivered by hand: on the day of delivery;

                 2. if sent by post to the correct address: within 72 hours of posting;

     23.8 This agreement does not give any right to any third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) (Scotland) Act 2017 or otherwise.

     23.9 We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of this agreement which is caused by circumstances beyond our                               reasonable control, including any labour dispute between a party and its employees.

     23.10 In the event of any conflict between any term of this agreement and the provisions of the articles of a limited company or any                                 comparable document intended to regulate any other corporate or collective body, then the terms of this agreement shall prevail.

     23.11 The validity, construction and performance of this agreement shall be governed by the laws of Scotland and you agree that any                             dispute arising from it shall be litigated only in that country.
