Not function on this verv tvpe of computer system constitutes

A clear breach of the contract concluded between my client

And the defendant.

The contract, it appears that the parties did not intend

The term to be enforceable by the non-party.

Under a contract. The parties may agree in the contract

To exclude the application of the statute to prevent one

Or more of the parties from being exposed to

Unexpected claims by third parties who were not

Intended to be beneficiaries of the contract.
