THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
‍

Only Signal, its directors, employees, and representatives may enforce this Agreement under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. This does not affect any other third-party rights available under law.
‍

ENTIRE AGREEMENT
‍

The Agreement, as herein defined, represents the entire agreement between You and Signal. It replaces all prior agreements, discussions, or negotiations related to its subject matter. You confirm that You have not relied on any statement or representation not included in this Agreement, except in cases of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
‍

SEVERABILITY
‍

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be replaced with a valid provision that reflects its original intent. The rest of the Agreement remains in full force.
‍

WAIVER
‍

Signal’s failure or delay in enforcing any right under this Agreement does not waive that right. Exercising a right partially does not prevent further enforcement.
‍

GOVERNING LAW / JURISDICTION

The Terms, the Agreement and their performance (including any non-contractual obligations) shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, excluding its conflict of laws, rules and provisions. The parties shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of London (England) for any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Terms and the Agreement.
