1  Warranty

1.1  The FM Contractor warrants to the Authority that it has carried out and will continue to carry out all its obligations and duties under the FM Agreement in accordance with and to the standard required by the FM Agreement, provided always that the FM Contractor has no liability hereunder which is greater or of a longer duration than that it owes to the Contractor under the FM Agreement.

1.2  The FM Contractor agrees that it will not amend the terms and conditions of the FM Agreement without the prior written approval of the Authority (not to be unreasonably withheld).

1.3  The FM Contractor shall be entitled in any proceedings by the Authority to rely on any limitation in the FM Agreement and to raise equivalent rights in defence of liability as it would have against the Contractor under the FM Agreement.

1.4  Notwithstanding anything in this Deed and not withstanding any payments which may be made by the Authority to the FM Contractor, the Authority and the FM Contractor will not be under any obligation to each other nor will any party have any claim or cause of action against the others unless and until the Authority has given written notice to the FM Contractor pursuant to clause 5.1.1 or clause 5.3 of this Deed.
