20.   General Terms

This section explains that the Agreements covers the whole relationship between you and us. Any term that the courts remove is will not affect the rest of the Agreement. Just because you or we do not take any action that we could have does not mean we will not do so next time the same thing happens. We are not in business together and we are not your agent or employer. TransUnion and Truelayer can also rely on the terms, because it is involved in the supply of the Account Information Service.

20.1.         These Terms comprise the entire agreement between you and us for the provision of the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, representations or agreements, whether written or oral. No undertakings, promises, representations, or warranties shall have any legal effect unless expressly set out in this Agreement.

20.2.         If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions shall remain in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.

20.3.         Nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship between you and us.

Otherwise, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer a benefit on any person who is not a party, and no such person shall have any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any terms of this Agreement, provided that this Clause does not affect a right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

20.5.         No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
