The Parties further agree that the United Nations Convention on the International Sales Goods shall not apply to the Agreement.
14.2. Exclusion of Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. – The parties to these Bylaws do not intend any of the Bylaws to be enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person who is not a party to them.

this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other such corporate reorganization.
14.5. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against regulatory or public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
14.6. Entire Agreement. The terms and provisions contained herein and in the Order alongside with all annexes, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters hereof and shall supersede all previous communications, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters hereof.
14.7. Amendments. (1) OGY reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion. OGY will send an email with notice of any such amendments to the email address Customer listed in its Account. Any such amendments shall become effective on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of OGY’s email notice to you. If you do not accept, or refuse to be bound by, any of OGY’s proposed amendments, Customer may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the thirty-day notice period by providing written notice of termination to OGY. If Customer terminates this Agreement within notice period, the proposed amendments will not take effect and will not be binding on Customer. However, if Customer does not terminate this Agreement as provided above within the notice period, then Customer’s continued use of the Platform will constitute its acceptance of the proposed amendments and these amendments will be binding on Customer. Except as provided in this Section 14.7, no other act, document, usage, or custom shall be deemed to amend this Agreement.
14.8. Waiver. No waiver of any rights by any party hereto shall be construed as a waiver of the same or any other right at any prior or subsequent time. Furthermore, no waiver or delay on the part of a Party in exercising any power or right hereunder, and no forbearance or indulgence of a party granted to the other party, shall in any way restrict or diminish the full rights and powers of that Party under this Agreement, or operate as a waiver of any breach by a Party of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
