14 GENERAL
14.1 When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails. In these Restaurant Terms, the singular includes the plural and the masculine includes the feminine and neuter and vice versa. The paragraph headings do not form a part of these Restaurant Terms. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
14.2 These Restaurant Terms (including any additional terms, policies or operating rules that we may provide when you engage with a feature of the Site or place an order), are the only agreement between you and us regarding the Site and the products you buy through the Site, and supersede all previous agreements, promises, representations, warranties and understandings between you and us regarding the Site and the products you buy through the Site. We each acknowledge that, in entering into these Restaurant Terms, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or be implied from anything said or written between us before the date of the order.
14.3 Nothing in these Restaurant Terms shall be construed to create a partnership or agency relationship between you and us and neither has the right or authority to incur any liability debt or cost or enter into any contracts or other arrangements in the name of or on behalf of the other.
14.4 You are not allowed to assign, novate or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Restaurant Terms to anyone unless we agree in writing in advance. We may assign, novate or transfer any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation without your consent. We will tell you in writing if this happens.
14.5 These Restaurant Terms are personal to you and there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Restaurant Terms.
14.6 We are not responsible or liable for any failure, breach or delay caused by circumstances outside of our control.
14.7 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Restaurant Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
14.8 Each of the paragraphs of these Restaurant Terms operates separately. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines any provision or part-provision of these Restaurant Terms to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be deemed deleted, but that does not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Restaurant Terms.
14.9 We are not responsible or liable for any failures or delays that arise from any cause outside our control. This paragraph does not affect your statutory rights.
14.10 The existence, formation, interpretation, operation and termination of these Restaurant Terms and any claim, matters or disputes arising out of or in connection with them (whether contractual or non-contractual), are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Ireland. The courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claim, matter or dispute (whether contractual or non-contractual) between you and us arising out of or in connection with these Restaurant Terms or the Site. However, this does not prevent us from instituting proceedings outside of Ireland.
