16. CANCELLATION
Where you are receiving the Services and/or Goods from us as a Consumer you acknowledge and agree that the Contract will be entered into following a meeting or meetings between you and us at the Premises and therefore the Contract has not been entered through the exclusive use of distance communication (for example, e-mail or telephone). On that basis, the Contract shall be an “on-premises” contract within the meaning of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and you acknowledge that the usual 14 day “cooling off” period (which would otherwise give you the right to cancel the Contract within 14 days) shall not apply to the Contract.
17. TERMINATION
17.1 Without affecting any other right or remedy available, we may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to you if:
17.1.1 you fail to pay any amount due under the Contract within 7 days of the due date for payment; 17.1.2 you commit a breach of your obligations under the Contract and (if such breach is remediable) fail to remedy that breach within 14 days after receipt of notice in writing from us to do so;
17.1.3 you (being an individual) are subject to any bankruptcy petition, application or order, or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;
17.1.4 you (being a firm or company) take any step or action in connection with entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with your creditors, being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of you assets or ceasing to carry on business; 17.1.5 your financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in our opinion your capability to adequately fulfil your obligations under the Contract has been placed in jeopardy; or
17.1.6 you fail to provide safe and secure access to the Premises to enable us to properly perform the Services.
17.2 Without affecting any other right or remedy available, we may suspend the supply of Services or all further deliveries of Goods under the Contract or any other contract between you and us if you fail to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment, you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 17.1.3 or clause 17.1.4, or we reasonably believe that you are about to become subject to any of them.
18. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION
18.1 On termination of the Contract:
18.1.1 you will immediately make payment to us of all sums due under any of our outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Services and Goods supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, we shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by you immediately upon receipt; 18.1.2 you will return all of Our Materials and any Goods which have not been fully paid for. If you fail to do so, then we may enter the Premises (or the premises at which Our Materials are stored) and take possession of them. Until they have been returned, you will be solely responsible for their safe keeping and will not use them for any purpose not connected with this Contract.
18.2 Termination of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination.
18.3 Any provision of the Contract that expressly or by implication is intended to have effect after termination shall continue in full force and effect.
19. UNEXPECTED EVENTS
19.1 If either party is in breach of any terms of the Contract by reason of any event outside that party’s control (“Unexpected Event”) then the party should contact the other party as soon as possible to let them know and steps should be taken to minimise the effect of the breach, where possible. Provided this is done, the party in breach will not be liable for losses or delays caused by the Unexpected Event.
19.2 Unexpected Events include (without limitation) any natural disaster, flooding, terrorist attack, civil commotion or riots, war, pandemic or epidemic, any law, regulation or any action taken by a government or public authority (including any enforced national, regional or industry-specific lockdown or restrictions), collapse of buildings, fire, explosion or accident, any labour or trade disputes, strikes, industrial action, non- performance by suppliers or subcontractors and interruption or failure of utility services.
20. GENERAL

20.2 Notices
20.2.1 Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or by pre-paid first-class post or other next working day delivery service at its registered office (if a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case); or sent by fax to its main fax number or sent by email to the address specified in the Proposal.
20.2.2 Any notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered by hand, on signature of a delivery receipt or at the time the notice is left at the proper address; if sent by pre- paid first-class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting or at the time recorded by the delivery service; or, if sent by fax or email, at 9.00 am on the next Business Day after transmission.
20.2.3 This clause does not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any other method of dispute resolution.
20.3 Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
20.4 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 20.5 Entire agreement.

20.5.2 Each party acknowledges that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Contract. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in the Contract.
20.5.3 Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
20.6 Third parties 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.
20.7 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).
