8.3 Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that
any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
8.4 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we
delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, 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. For
example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Course, we can
still require you to make the payment at a later date.
8.5 These terms are governed by Malaysian law and subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Malaysian
courts.
