If mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country provide rights that conflict with these Terms, those mandatory rights remain applicable to the extent required by law.

29. No Waiver

If Light & Truth Radio does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we permanently waive the provision or our right to enforce it later.

30. Severability

If a court or other competent authority determines that part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
