We and the service provider may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms. 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 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.
22.2. If the supply of a Membership Product(s) is delayed by an event outside our or the service provider's control, then we or the service provider will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we or the service provider do this we and/or the service provider will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the membership product(s) and receive a refund for any Membership Product(s) you have paid for but not received.
