ARTICLE 11 - NON-WAIVER AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If one of the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions is found to be null and void due to a change in the law or regulations or a court decision, the validity and compliance with the other terms of the General Terms and Conditions will in no case be affected.

If one of the Parties fails to avail itself of any of the terms of the General Terms and Conditions, said failure does not imply the Party will again waive the same provision at a future time.

ARTICLE 12 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

If one of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Use loses its validity or if it is found to be defective, the provision in question will be replaced by a provision which most closely resembles it in terms of legal interpretation.
