2.5 Arctic Shores shall use reasonable endeavours to observe all health and safety and security requirements that apply at any of Your premises and that have been communicated to it in writing, provided that it shall not be liable under the Agreement if, as a result of such observation, it is in breach of any of its obligations under the Agreement.
