If you do not terminate the Agreement and your right to access and use the Service in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have accepted the increased Fees.

7.7 To avoid doubt, additional Fees may be payable if you want to access features or functionality which are in addition to the core functionality covered by the Fees.

13.8 If any part or provision of the Agreement is or becomes illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, that part or provision is deemed to be modified to the extent required to remedy the illegality, unenforceability or invalidity.

13.9 You may not assign, novate, subcontract or transfer any right or obligation under the Agreement without our prior written consent, that consent not to be unreasonably withheld. You remain liable for your obligations under the Agreement despite any approved assignment, subcontracting or transfer.
