No party shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other party in any way.
Third parties: A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights under or in connection with it.
Variation: Except as set out in these Conditions, any variation, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, to the Contract, shall only be binding when agreed in writing and signed by us.
