This does not restrict your right to go to court.
These Conditions and your contract are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Wherever you live, you may bring proceedings in English courts. If you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. We can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in..

24.3 Nobody else has any rights under these Conditions. These Conditions are between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.
24.4 If a court invalidates some of these Conditions, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.
24.5 Even if we delay in enforcing these Conditions, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
