Nothing in
these Conditions is expressly or impliedly intended to confer

this shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable
the remaining provisions of these Conditions, and any such invalidity
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
