6. WAIVER
Delay in exercising, or a failure to exercise, any right or remedy in connection with a Contract shall not operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. A single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that right or remedy, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver of a breach of a Contract shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless stated otherwise, all content in or on the Stadium, Website and brochures (including pictures, designs, logos and text) (“Content”) or otherwise is owned by or licensed to us. The Content is protected by copyright and other laws and the Individual shall not use nor procure the use of such content other than as permitted by us in writing.

10. THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
No person who is not a party to the Contract is entitled to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
11. SEVERABILITY
The parties intend each of these Conditions to be severable and distinct from the others. If a clause of these Condition is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the parties intend that the legality, validity and enforceability of the remainder of these Conditions shall not be affected.
12. ENFORCEMENT
We will use our discretion in deciding when to enforce these Conditions. The nature and complexity of our Stadium operations means that we are unlikely to enforce these Conditions in every instance in which there is a breach. Nonetheless we reserve the right to enforce (without limitation whether by taking practical steps and/or bringing legal proceedings) in every instance where we deem it appropriate. No failure or delay to enforce, or decision by us not to enforce, should be construed as a waiver of our right to do so.
13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
Any Contract and these Conditions are governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with the law of England and Wales and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to all matters arising out of or in connection with a Contract.
