Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
Variation
The Company reserves the right to modify, amend or delete any term of this Agreement, at any time, upon 30 days notice to the User.
The Company will notify Users of any change to the Agreement by way of an announcement in the "Agent Admin" section of the site. This announcement will be displayed until dismissed by the User. The User may subsequently terminate their membership by giving one month's notice in writing to the Company, if in the opinion of the User, in its sole discretion, the changes to the Agreement materially and adversely affect the User or their business. Following the dismissal of such an announcement by the User, and in the absence of the User notifying the Company of their intention to terminate their membership, the continued use of the Daft Service by the User will constitute the Users binding acceptance of the change.
The current version of the Agreement, along with the current versions of any Product Specific Terms and Conditions, as posted onto our Website(s), will apply at all times to your Agreement for the provision of Services and will supersede all previous version of the Agreement.
Severability
If any provision of the Agreement is determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
