18 GENERAL
18.1 Communications. The parties agree that communication “in writing” with ImageHOLDERS will be mainly electronic via email and via the Website. For contractual purposes, the Customer agrees to this electronic means of communication and the Customer acknowledges that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that ImageHOLDERS provides to it electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
18.2 Notices. All notices given by either Party must be sent to the CEO of the other Party at the address shown on the Order or Order Confirmation, provided that ImageHOLDERS may give notices in respect of non-material matters on the Website. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Website (for non-material changes) or, if sent, 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, or three days after the date of posting of any letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee. This clause does not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any arbitration or other method of dispute resolution.

The Customer may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of its rights or obligations arising under it, without imageHOLDERS’ prior written consent. ImageHOLDERS may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of its rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of a Contract.
18.4 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy. A delay or failure to exercise, or the single or partial exercise of, any right or remedy shall not waive that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
18.5 Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract. If any provision or part provision of the Contract is deemed deleted under this clause 18.5 the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree a replacement provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the commercial result of the original provision.
18.6 Variation. Except as set out in these Conditions, no variation of the Contract shall be effective unless it is agreed in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives). ImageHOLDERS may revise and amend these Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting ImageHOLDERS business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and for any other reason.
18.7 Policies. The Customer will be subject to the policies and Conditions in force at the time of ordering Products, unless any change to those policies or these Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed), or if ImageHOLDERS notifies the Customer of a change to those policies or these Conditions before ImageHOLDERS send you the Order Confirmation.
18.8 Third party rights. The Contract does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Contract.
