will not give a false or misleading impression to any third party concerning the services provided by
Intertek.
4.4 Intertek shall be neither in breach of this Agreement nor liable to the Client for any breach of this
Agreement if and to the extent that its breach is a direct result of a failure by the Client to comply
with its obligations as set out in this Clause 4. The Client also acknowledges that the impact of any
failure by the Client to perform its obligations set out herein on the provision of the Services by
