property created during the engagement, together with a waiver of all moral rights. The

Party acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any

representation or undertaking not expressly contained herein.


16.2.
This Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all agreements between the Parties (and

other persons, as may be applicable) and undertakings given to or on behalf of the Parties

(and other persons, as may be applicable) in relation to the subject matter hereof. No prior

drafts, proposals, or oral statements shall have any contractual force except as specifically

incorporated into this Agreement

provisions of this Agreement will be of any force or effect unless in writing and signed by the

Parties. Any variation, amendment, or waiver must be expressly identified as such and may

Annexures, including Statements of Work, must be approved in writing and signed by both

Parties to be effective.

allowed by either Party to the other in respect of the performance of any obligation hereunder,

and no delay or forbearance in the enforcement of any right of either Party arising from this

strict and punctual compliance with each and every provision or term hereof. Failure or delay

any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of

any other right, power or privilege. No relaxation, latitude, or extension of time granted by

either Party shall prejudice, waive or constitute a novation of any right or remedy under this

Agreement, unless expressly agreed in writing by both Parties.

No Waiver or Suspension No waiver, suspension or postponement by either Party of any

right arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be of any force or effect unless

to have effect after such expiration or termination, notwithstanding that the clauses

themselves do not expressly provide for this. Provisions regarding confidentiality, intellectual

property, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, data protection, and noncircumvention shall

survive termination or expiry for the longest duration permitted by law or the contractual period

specified herein.


16.7.

which they have been grouped or linked grammatically, severable from each other. Any

provision or clause of this Agreement which is or becomes unenforceable in any jurisdiction,

whether due to voidness, invalidity, illegality, unlawfulness or for any other reason whatever,

shall, in such jurisdiction only and only to the extent that it is so unenforceable, be treated as

pro non scripto and the remaining provisions and clauses of this Agreement shall remain of

full force and effect. The Parties declare that it is their intention that this Agreement would be

executed without such unenforceable provision if they were aware of such unenforceability at

the time of execution hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal,

copies, and digital execution platforms (such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign) shall be valid and

binding for all purposes under this Agreement.


16.13.

16.14.
This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements.
