22.1 If you or we break this Agreement and the other chooses to overlook it, this will not prevent the other from taking further action at a later time.

You are however advised that for reasons beyond our control, there is a risk that your communications may be unlawfully intercepted or accessed by those other than the intended recipient.

If you are connected to the digital network, your communications over the air interface with our systems are encrypted providing a greater level of protection, but even this cannot be guaranteed.
