10.7 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this Licence, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of a breach by you of this Licence, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

10.8 No failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Licence or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict our further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
