However, your election not to authorise us to process your personal information may affect our prospects of rendering a service to you or fulfilling our existing obligations to you, whatever they may be. As a consequence, we cannot be held liable for any non-performance of any obligation to you which is a result of your election not to provide us with your personal information or not to authorise us to process your personal information.

If you are unsure whether we are in possession of your personal information, you are entitled to enquire, at no charge to you, whether we are in possession of your personal information. Should you however require a record of your personal information which is in our possession, we shall be entitled to charge you the prescribed fee for such records.
