However, the Contract relating to Your Booked Activity remains between You and Us;
c. save as specifically described in these Terms, no Payment Processor has any authority to act on Our behalf.

13.5. If We fail to insist that You perform any of Your obligations under the Contract, 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 other default by You. 13.6. These Terms are governed by English law.

You and We both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if You are a resident of Northern Ireland You may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if You are a resident of Scotland, You may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

You can also submit a complaint in writing and either hand it in at reception or send it to Us, marked "FAO Management" as soon as reasonably practicable after Your Booked Activity.
