If we receive your cancellation within the above stipulated time, we will not levy a charge for the cancellation.

We shall be entitled to terminate the Contract immediately by written notice to you if:

  • You commit a material breach of Contract and, in the case of such breach that can be remedied, you fail to remedy the issue within 7 days of receipt of written notice specifying the breach and request to remedy it.

  • Any termination of the Contract shall not prejudice any rights or remedies which may have accrued to either party

  • Trivial or obvious;

  • Already in the other party's possession; or
