It is anticipated, that during the life of this contract, the LGR process will progress potentially impacting this contract. Impacts most likely will include novations of the legal entities you may contract with. There are assignment clauses within the Contract Terms and Conditions that allow us to assign, novate etc. the agreements to another body."
