This agreement shall be binding on, and enure to the benefit of, the parties to this agreement and their respective personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and references to any party shall include that party's personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
A reference to a statute or statutory provision is a reference to it as amended, extended or re-enacted from time to time.
A reference to a statute or statutory provision shall include all subordinate legislation made from time to time under that statute or statutory provision.
A reference to writing or written includes email.

Where any statement is qualified by the expression so far as the Assignor is aware or to the Assignor's knowledge (or any similar expression), that statement shall be deemed to include an additional statement that it has been made after due and careful enquiry.
Assignment
In consideration of the sum of £1 (receipt of which the Assignor expressly acknowledges), the Assignor assigns to the Assignee absolutely with full title guarantee all its right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Rights, including the right to bring, make, oppose, defend, appeal proceedings, claims or actions and obtain relief (and to retain any damages recovered) in respect of any infringement, or any other cause of action arising from ownership, of any of the Assigned Rights whether occurring before, on, or after the date of this agreement.
VAT
All payments made by the Assignee under this agreement are exclusive of VAT. If any such payment constitutes the whole or any part of the consideration for a taxable or deemed taxable supply by the Assignor, the Assignee shall increase that payment by an amount equal to the VAT which is chargeable in respect of the taxable or deemed taxable supply, provided that the Assignor shall have delivered a valid VAT invoice in respect of such VAT to the Assignee.
Warranties
The Assignor warrants that:
it is the sole legal and beneficial owner of, and owns all the rights and interests in, the Assigned Rights;
it has not licensed or assigned any of the Assigned Right;
the Assigned Rights are free from any security interest, option, mortgage, charge or lien;
it is unaware of any infringement or likely infringement of any of the Assigned Rights;
as far as it is aware, all the Assigned Rights are valid and subsisting and there are and have been no claims, challenges, disputes or proceedings, pending or threatened, in relation to the ownership, validity or use of any of the Assigned Rights, and there is nothing that might prevent any application for rights proceeding to grant; and
as far as it is aware, exploitation of the Assigned Rights will not infringe the rights of any third party.
Indemnity
The Assignor shall indemnify the Assignee 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 the Assignee arising out of or in connection with:
any breach of the warranties contained in 4; or the enforcement of this agreement.
At the request of the Assignee and at the Assignor's own expense, the Assignor shall provide all reasonable assistance to enable the Assignee to resist any claim, action or proceedings brought against the Assignee as a consequence of that breach.
This indemnity shall apply whether or not the Assignee has been negligent or at fault.
If a payment due from the Assignor under this clause is subject to tax (whether by way of direct assessment or withholding at its source), the Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Assignor such amounts as shall ensure that the net receipt, after tax, to the Assignee in respect of the payment is the same as it would have been were the payment not subject to tax.
Nothing in this clause shall restrict or limit the Assignee's general obligation at law to mitigate a loss it may suffer or incur as a result of an event that may give rise to a claim under this indemnity.
Further assurance
At the Assignee's expense the Assignor shall, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that any necessary third party shall, promptly execute and deliver such documents and perform such acts as may reasonably be required for the purpose of giving full effect to this agreement, including:
registration of the Assignee as applicant or (as applicable) proprietor of the Assigned Rights; and
assisting the Assignee in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Assigned Rights.
The Assignor appoints the Assignee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute documents, use the Assignor’s name and do all things which are necessary or desirable for the Assignee to obtain for itself or its nominee the full benefit of this agreement.
This power of attorney is irrevocable and is given by way of security to secure the performance of the Assignor’s obligations under this agreement and the proprietary interest of the Assignee in the Assigned Rights and so long as such obligations of the Assignor remain undischarged, or the Assignee has such interest, the power may not be revoked by the Assignor, save with the consent of the Assignee.
Without prejudice to 6.2, the Assignee may, in any way it thinks fit and in the name and on behalf of the Assignor:
take any action that this agreement requires the Assignor to take;
exercise any rights which this agreement gives to the Assignor; and
appoint one or more persons to act as substitute attorney(s) for the Assignor and to exercise such of the powers conferred by this power of attorney as the Assignee thinks fit and revoke such appointment.
The Assignor undertakes to ratify and confirm everything that the Assignee and any substitute attorney does or arranges or purports to do or arrange in good faith in exercise of any power granted under this clause.
Waiver
No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
Entire agreement
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
Each party agrees that it shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this agreement. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

Severance
If any provision or part-provision of this agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted.
Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this agreement.
If any provision or part-provision of this agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
Counterparts
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute a duplicate original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute the one agreement.
Transmission of the executed signature page of a counterpart of this agreement by email (in PDF, JPEG or other agreed format) shall take effect as the transmission of an executed "wet-ink" counterpart of this agreement.
Third party rights

Notices
