20.4.: If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
20.5.: Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement or any Service contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, 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.
20.6.: Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by the Republic of South Africa law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the South African courts.
