11.2 If a court finds a part of this contract illegal, the rest will still remain in full force and effect. Each paragraph in these terms operates separately. 

11.3 Even if there is a delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do something that is required until these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of you breaking this contract, that does 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.
