For the avoidance of doubt, we may subcontract these Terms and Services, pursuant to clause 18.2, without requiring the Client's consent.
19. Severability
19.1 If any of the provisions of these Terms are found to be unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by any court or other authority, then such provision shall be deemed severed from the remainder of these Terms. The remainder of these Terms shall be valid and enforceable.
20. No Waiver
20.1 No failure or delay by us in exercising any of our rights under these Terms means that we have waived that right, and no waiver by us of a breach of any provision of these Terms means that we will waive any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
21. Dispute Resolution
21.1 If a dispute arises, the parties undertake in good faith to use all reasonable endeavours to settle the dispute expeditiously.
21.2 Any dispute that cannot be resolved between the parties within 30 days of the dispute arising is to be initially mediated. Mediation is to be administered by the Australian Disputes Centre Limited (“ADC”), conducted in Sydney and held in accordance with the ADC Guidelines for Commercial Mediation.

23.5 If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the provision will apply with whatever deletion or modification is necessary so that the provision is legal, valid and enforceable and gives effect to the commercial intention of the parties.
23.6 To the extent that it is not possible to delete or modify the provision, in whole or in part, under clause 23.5, then such provision or part of it will, to the extent that it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, be deemed to not form part of this document.
23.7 You may not assign any part of these Terms or otherwise transfer any licence whether by operation of law, change of control, or in any other manner, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment of such in violation of this clause will be deemed void. We may assign, in whole or in part, our rights, interests, and obligations without limitation.
