1.2.1. Where the Subscription (or the accompanying order form, quote or e-mail confirmation) is expressly designated as “Proof of Concept”, “Pilot”, “Trial”, or is provided free of charge or at a symbolic/substantially reduced price (each a “POC”), the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision in these General Terms:

13. Miscellaneous
13.1. Force Majeure: Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure results from events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, strike or other labour dispute, shortage of utilities, failure or interruption of telecommunications or internet services, denial-of-service attacks, or any other cause (whether similar or dissimilar) that is not reasonably foreseeable and beyond the affected party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure”). The affected party shall promptly notify the other party and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimise the effects of the Force Majeure event.
13.2. No Waiver: No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

13.3. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if not possible, severed from the Agreement. The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
