15.1 Subject to clauses 7.8 and 15.3, any change to this Agreement requested by either party is only effective if expressly agreed in writing by both parties (including over email).
15.2 Client acknowledges that:
(a) in providing the Services, Flicket utilises various Third Party Services which Flicket is not the only purchaser and/or consumer of and, as such, these Third Party Services are subject to change without the approval of Flicket;
(b) there may be circumstances where there is change to Applicable Law that may, in Flicket’s reasonable opinion, materially affect the ability of Flicket to provide the Services, the manner or cost of providing the Services or the manner in which Client is able to use the Services; and
(c) the Software is provided on a one-to-many software-as-a-service basis and Flicket may add, remove, change, update, upgrade and/or disable features and capabilities temporarily or permanently from time-to-time (together, Updates).
