25.1 ​This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts ​(Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise. However, the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our warranties ​at paragraph 17 but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these T&Cs.

25.2 ​Each of the paragraphs of these T&Cs operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or ​unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

25.3 ​If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these T&Cs, 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.

25.4 ​Please note that these T&Cs are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any ​dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You agree that the courts of England and Wales ​will have exclusive jurisdiction.
