13.5 Third Party Rights. A person who is not a party to the Agreement has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (the “Act“) to enforce, or to enjoy the benefit of, any term of the Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from the Act or that is expressly provided for under the Agreement.
13.6 Subcontracting and Assignment. Yieldify may at any time use subcontractors to fulfil its obligations under the Agreement; provided that it shall at all times remain liable for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and for any breach of the Agreement by such subcontractors.

Nothing in the Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind or employment relationship between the parties, not constitute any party an employee or agent of another party for any purpose. No party shall have authority to act as employee or agent for, or to bind, the other party in any way.
13.10 Severability. Should parts of the Agreement be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the parties with such term which comes as close as possible, in a legally permitted manner, to the commercial terms intended by the invalid provision.
13.11 Waiver. The waiver of one breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The headings are for convenience and shall not be used to construe the Agreement.
13.12 Survival. In addition to those provisions which by their nature are intended to survive any termination of the Agreement, clauses 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration of the Agreement.
