The NDA reserves the right, without giving reasons, at any time to cease making the Information (or any part of it) available or to amend the basis for making the Information available or to change or supplement the Information (or any part of it) being made available.

The issue of the Information shall not be deemed to be any form of commitment on the part of the NDA to proceed with any transaction relating to the sale of all or any part of the Land. 

All responses, proposals and submissions made to the NDA in relation to the Information and/or in connection with the Process are made at the risk of the interested party concerned.  Neither the NDA nor any of its advisers shall be liable for any costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by any interested party (or any other person who may access the Information) in connection with the Process.

All intellectual property rights in the Information, and the information contained or referred to in it, shall remain the property of the NDA and its licensors and no interested party shall obtain any right, title or interest therein.
