If the Customer changes company name, form of incorporation, address, contact details and/or bank details, it shall inform Satair of the same without undue delay.


20 ASSIGNMENT


20.1

The Customer shall not assign any of its rights and/or obligations under these GTC (including the right to receive delivery) without the prior written consent of Satair. However, Satair shall be entitled to assign or transfer all or part of any order to any Affiliate, without further formalities and without remaining liability as from the assignment or transfer date.


21 SEVERABILITY


21.1

Any provision of the GTC that is prohibited by or unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable mandatory law actually applied by any court of competent jurisdiction shall, to the extent required by such law, be severed from the GTC and rendered ineffective so far as is possible without modifying the remaining provisions. The Parties agree to replace, so far as practicable, any provision which is prohibited, unlawful or unenforceable with another provision having substantially the same effect (in its legal and commercial content) as the invalid provision, but which is not prohibited, unlawful or unenforceable. The invalidity in whole or in part of any provisions of the GTC shall not void or affect the validity of any other provision.

21.2

The GTC contains the entire agreement between the Parties and no side letter, attachment, amendment or variation shall be of any effect unless in writing and duly signed by both Parties.


22 NO WAIVER


22.1

The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the terms of the GTC or to require performance of the same by the other Party shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of the relevant terms. Any waiver of rights shall only come into effect if made in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.


23 MISCELLANEOUS


23.1

Nothing in the GTC shall be interpreted or construed to create a partnership, agency, or joint venture between Satair and the Customer.

23.2
