    4. The Landlord shall not carry out any alteration, improvement or refurbishment of the Premises during the tenancy, other than works of repair or works required by law, without the prior written consent of the Tenant.

    5.

    5.

    6. Each Party shall bear its own legal costs in connection with any dispute unless the court or tribunal determining the dispute orders otherwise, and no provision of this Agreement shall entitle the Landlord to recover legal or collection costs from the Tenant on an indemnity basis.

    7. Nothing in this Section shall prevent the Tenant from seeking urgent injunctive or other interim relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its possession of the Premises or the safety or property of any Permitted Occupier.

  17. Miscellaneous Provisions

    1.

    2. No amendment or variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each Party.

    3. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any further exercise of it; and the acceptance of Rent by the Landlord with knowledge of any breach by the Tenant shall constitute a waiver of that breach.
