6. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

   1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens.

   2. Your Account is personal to you. You may only transfer or otherwise assign your Account or your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.

   3. This Agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement.

   4. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

   5. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

   6. You agree that this Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) that arises between you and us shall be governed by the law of Italy and that all disputes related to this Agreement will be brought solely in the Courts of Italy.
