11. Your statutory rights
This licence gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from country to country.

Other jurisdictions allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the above limitations and exclusions shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. If any part of the above limitations or exclusions is held to be void or unenforceable, such part shall be deemed to be deleted from this Licence Agreement and the remainder of the limitation or exclusion shall continue in full force and effect. Any rights that you may have as a consumer (ie a purchaser for private as opposed to business, academic or government use) are not affected.

12. Term
The licence is effective until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by destroying the Materials together with all copies in any form.

You agree upon such termination to destroy the Materials together with all copies in any form.

13. Export
You will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing export of goods and information, including the laws of the countries in which the Materials were created. In particular, you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, separately or as a part of a system, the Materials or other information relating thereto to any country for which an export licence or other approval is required, without first obtaining such licence or other approval.

14.3. Any clause in this Licence Agreement that is found to be invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed deleted and the remainder of this Licence Agreement shall not be affected by that deletion.

14.4. Failure or neglect by either party to exercise any of its rights or remedies under this Licence Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of that party's rights nor in any way affect the validity of the whole or part of this Licence Agreement nor prejudice that party's right to take subsequent action.

14.6.
