14.5 If either Party fails to insist that the other Party performs any of its obligations under the Contract, or either Party does not enforce its rights against the other Party, or if there is a delay in doing so, that will not mean that either Party has waived its rights against the other Party and will not mean that the other Party does not have to comply with those obligations. If either Party does waive a default by the other Party, it will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that the waiving Party will automatically waive any later default by the other Party.
