16. Miscellaneous

16.1. We may amend these Terms from time to time, including where there are changes to the Services or as may be otherwise required by any laws or regulatory requirements to which we are subject. The changes will become effective and shall be deemed accepted by the Account Holder, the first time the Account Holder uses the Services after the publishing of the revised Terms and shall apply on a going-forward basis with respect to any activity initiated after publishing. In the event that an Account Holder does not agree with any such modifications, the Account Holder’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate the use of the Services and close the Account.

16.2. If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, void or unenforceable (in whole or in part), then such term, clause or provision shall be severable from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.

16.3. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the Parties in relation to its subject matter.

You hereby waive any and all rights and remedies which might otherwise be available in relation to such Pre-Contractual Statements.
