  1. RIGHTS IN RELATION TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

12.1 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms and Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms and Conditions, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
12.2 If we cannot enforce any part of these Terms and Conditions because any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, void and/or unenforceable, this will not affect our right to enforce the rest of these Terms and Conditions which will continue in full force and effect.

13.1 We may delay the date of delivery or cancel the contract between you and us if we are affected by an event outside of our control, including any strike, lockout, disorder, fire, explosion, pandemic, government guidance or action, accident or stoppage of (or affecting) our business or work and which prevents or hinders our ability to perform our obligations under these Terms and Conditions. If this happens, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event outside our control, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Goods you have paid for but not received.
