16.3 | Assignment |
16.3.1 | Except as provided in Clause 16.3.2 below or unless specifically agreed in writing by the parties to this Agreement, no party shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it.
