Any indulgence shown to the client or failure or delay on the part of Husk Collection in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

20. The client indemnifies Husk Collection and its representatives against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs calculated on a full indemnity basis and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Husk Collection, arising out of or in connection with any breach of these Ts&Cs by the client.

21. The rights, powers and remedies provided by these Ts&Cs are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies available by law and may be exercised from time to time and as often as either party may deem expedient.

22. The client and Husk Collection recognize and expressly agree that the extent of damages to Husk Collection in the event of a breach by the client of any of the material terms set forth herein would be impossible to ascertain, that irreparable harm arising out of any breach shall be irrefutably presumed, and that the remedy at law for any breach will be inadequate to compensate Husk Collection. Consequently, the client agrees that in the event of a breach of any such covenant, in addition to any other relief to which Husk Collection may be entitled, Husk Collection shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

23. If any provision of these Ts&Cs shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, void, voidable or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law, such invalidity, illegality, voidability or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and these Ts&Cs shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, void, voidable or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in, and be given, full force and effect.

24. These Ts&Cs constitute the entire agreement between Husk Collection and the client relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral and written understandings and contracts relating to such subject matter and no warranties or representations, whether express or implied not stated herein shall be binding on the parties. No agreement at variance with these Ts&Cs shall be binding on the parties unless reduced to writing and signed by or on behalf of the parties by duly authorised persons.

25. No claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to these Ts&Cs, or the negotiation, execution or performance of any agreement between Husk Collection and the client (a Relevant Agreement), may be raised against any associate or affiliate of Husk Collection who/that is not explicitly made a party to a Relevant Agreement. Accordingly, no associate or affiliate of Husk Collection who/that is not explicitly made a party to a Relevant Agreement shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners, officers or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to such Relevant Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of a Relevant Agreement or its negotiation or execution; and the client waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such associates or affiliates, who are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this provision of these Ts&Cs.

26. These Ts&Cs shall be governed by, and subject, to all applicable laws and regulations in force from time to time in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any dispute arising between the client and Husk Collection in connection with any Relevant Agreement, including these Ts&Cs, shall be settled through negotiation and mediation between the client and Husk Collection at the Abuja Multi-Door Courthouse, Abuja State, Nigeria, failing which the aggrieved party shall seek redress in a court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.
