employment relationship between the Parties.
14.5 If any term of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, that shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction
of any other term of this Agreement, or the legality, validity or enforceability in any other
jurisdiction of that or any other term of this Agreement.
14.6 No relaxation, forbearance, delay or indulgence by either Party in enforcing any term or
condition of this Agreement, or the granting of time by either Party to the other, shall

context requires them to survive (and any Schedules which are referred to in those
Clauses) shall survive expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
14.10 A person who is not a Party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any of its
terms pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
