21. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

21.1 Without the written consent of BRIEFD, the Client cannot fully or partially transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms of Service to a third party. BRIEFD may transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms of Service in whole or in part to a third party without the prior consent of the Client. The third party to whom individual rights or obligations of the Client are transferred is bound by these Terms of Service. BRIEFD may unilaterally transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its contractual partners or affiliated companies.

21.2 In the event of a merger, takeover or change of control over BRIEFD, we reserve the right to transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms of Service and our rights and obligations from these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, to the surviving or acquiring entity without notice to the Client.

21.3 The transfer of rights and obligations does not affect the continuity of the service provided to the Client. The Client shall continue to have access to the Platform and Services and receive support as per usual.

21.4 We shall inform the Client of any transfer, assignment, or conveyance of rights and obligations under these Terms of Service, where applicable and as required by law.

22. FORCE MAJEURE

22.1 Neither party to this contract shall be liable for any delay in performance or inability to perform its obligations under these Terms of Service if this is the result of force majeure (such as natural disasters or DDOS attacks).

22.2 In this case, the contracting party must notify the other party as soon as possible, and the other party must approve a reasonable extension of the deadline for fulfilling obligations under these Terms of Service.

23. SALVATORY CLAUSE.

23.1 If it is determined that a particular provision of these Terms of Service is either inconsistent with the legal order or otherwise unenforceable, such provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that is closest in effect to the intent of the contracting parties. The remaining provisions of the Terms of Service shall continue to apply in this case.

24. NO PARTNERSHIP OR REPRESENTATION

24.1 No provision of these Terms of Service is intended or shall be construed as forming a partnership between the parties or authorize any party to act as an agent for another. Neither party is authorized to act on behalf of, or for the account of, or otherwise obligate the other party (which includes, among other things, making statements or warranties, assuming any obligation or liability and exercising any rights or powers).

25. FINAL PROVISIONS

25.1 These Terms of Service are supplemented by the laws of the Republic of Slovenia. The Client agrees that any potential dispute related to these Terms of Service or the use of the Platform shall be resolved in agreement with BRIEFD, but if an agreement is not possible, the final decision on the dispute shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the court in Ljubljana which has subject-matter jurisdiction to decide on the matter.

25.2 Any failure or delay by BRIEFD in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms of Service shall not be considered a waiver of the contract, nor shall any individual or partial exercise prevent any other right or further exercise and enforcement of any other right, power, or privilege.
