28.1. We may amend these terms. We may revise these terms and conditions from time to time.
28.2. The revised terms will come into effect as notified.

If you are a consumer and you have purchased any of our website services and there subsists a contract under these terms and conditions in respect of those website services, we will ask for your express agreement to any revision of that contract. We will give you at least 30 days' prior written notice of any revision. If you do not give your express agreement to the revised terms and conditions within that period, the contract between us will automatically terminate, and you will be entitled to a refund of any amounts paid to us in respect of website services that were to be provided by us to you after the date of such termination.
29. Transferring this agreement to someone else
29.1. We may transfer our rights to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms and conditions to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

30. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later
30.1. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms and conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
31. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
31.1. If a provision of these terms and conditions is determined by any court or other competent authority to be unlawful and/or unenforceable, the other provisions will continue in effect.

33.2. If you use our website as a consumer (that is an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession), this Section 33 will not have the effect of depriving you of the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the applicable laws regulating the choice of the governing law and/or jurisdiction in consumer contracts. For example, if you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of a contract under these terms and conditions either in the Scottish or the English courts, and if you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of a contract under these terms and conditions in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
