Any such notice shall be sufficiently given if forwarded by first class pre-paid mail (if both of us are situated within the United Kingdom) or sent by air mail (in all other circumstances) and shall be deemed to have been received and given (a) in the case of first class pre-paid mail, two days after the date of mailing and (b) in the case of pre-paid air mail, 7 days after the date of mailing. | 9.7 | No waiver by us of any breach of these Conditions by you shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. | 9.8 | If any provision of these Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.
