1. 7. This Agreement is entered into without prejudice to any rights the Disclosing Party may have in relation to the Confidential Information at law.

1. 8. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall authorise either Party as the legal representative of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever and neither Party is granted hereunder any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility express or implied on behalf of or in the name of the other Party nor to bind the other Party in any manner or way whatsoever.
