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

or cross–border transfers to countries without adequate protection, the responsible Party must
obtain prior authorisation from the Information Regulator as required under POPIA section 57.

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,
