    3.3 The Customer agrees to pay the Company the Price for each Good and/or Service purchased or used, in accordance with the pricing and payment terms set out in the Purchase Order and these terms and conditions. Except as indicated in these terms and conditions or required by law, amounts paid by the Customer are non-refundable.

    3.4 If the Customer's use of the Services exceeds the User limit indicated in the Purchase Order, the Company may charge the Customer for the additional use on a pro rata basis. Any such additional amounts will be included on the Invoice or in a separate Invoice.

    3.5 The Customer acknowledges that it is under no obligation to place an order or any number of orders over a particular period or at all with the Company.

    3.6 If the Company's costs of supplying the Goods and/or Services change prior to the Customer accepting the Purchase Order, the Company is entitled to vary the Price at any time prior to the Customer's acceptance of the Purchase Order by providing written notice to the Customer.

    3.7 A Customer wishing to place an order with the Company must submit a written Purchase Order with respect to the Goods and/or Services to be supplied by the Company, and such Purchase Order must specify:

    1. the date the order is placed;
    2. the Goods and/or Services required;
    3. the quantity of the Goods and/or Services ordered; and
    4. any other relevant instructions or information.

    3.8 The Company may:

    1. accept or decline a Purchase Order in whole or in part;
    2. if it has reasonable doubts as to the solvency of a Customer, accept a Purchase Order the Company considers necessary and reasonable to protect its legitimate business interests; or
    3. if satisfying a Purchase Order in full is untenable for the Company, and the Customer is agreeable, provide any Goods and/or Services to the Customer in instalments as agreed between the Company and the Customer in writing.

    3.9 If a Customer requests the Company to reference a Purchase Order, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that any reference to a Purchase Order in a Purchase Order itself or in any Invoice is included solely for Customer's administrative convenience. No such reference, and no delivery of any Goods or Services following receipt of a Purchase Order, will constitute an acknowledgement of, or agreement to, any terms or conditions contained in or attached to that Purchase Order. Nor will any such reference be taken to amend, modify, supersede, or supplement these terms and conditions in any way.

    3.10 The Company is deemed to have accepted the Customer's Purchase Order if the Company:

    1. provides written confirmation to such effect;
    2. does not reject the Purchase Order in whole or in part within 14 days of the Purchase Order being received by the Company; or

    4. Changing of Services

    4.1 The Company continually changes and improves its Goods and/or Services. The Company may alter the Goods and/or Services at any time without prior notice. The Company will provide the Customer with reasonable prior notice if the Company makes a change to the Services resulting in an overall material decrease in functionality of the Services.

    4.2 If the change to the Services is unacceptable to the Customer, the Customer may stop using the Goods and/or Services, cancel their subscription or terminate the Services under these terms and conditions. If the Customer continues to use the Goods and/or Services after any amended Terms become effective, the Customer agrees to be bound by the amended Terms.

    4.3 If the Company decides to stop offering some Goods and/or Services or parts of the Goods and/or Services, the Company may terminate their access to such features or Services by providing written notice to the Customer in accordance with clause 12.

    4.4 The Company may limit or suspend the Services from time to time at the Company's discretion (for example, to perform scheduled maintenance or in the event of a security emergency). If the Company limits or suspends the Services, the Company will give the Customer reasonable advance notice so that the Customer can plan around it. However, there may be some situations, such as security emergencies, where it may not be practicable for the Company to give the Customer advance notice. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of the suspension or limitation as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action.

    5. Changing or Cancellation of an Order

    5.1 Subject to clause 5.6, the Customer may:

    1. by written notice to the Company, request any change in the nature, scope or timing of the provision of the Goods and/or Services under the Purchase Order, including without limitation any anticipated or requested:

      2. change to the character or content of any part of the Goods and/or Services;
    2. by providing 30 days prior written notice to the Company, cancel a Purchase Order.

    5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation rights outlined in clause 5.1(b) do not apply to any written agreement between the Customer and Company. Any such arrangements may only be varied or terminated in accordance with the terms of that separate agreement.

    5.3 Where the Customer seeks to vary a Purchase Order in accordance with clause 5.1(a), the Company is entitled to:

    1. accept the changes to the Purchase Order upon written notice to the Customer;
    2. accept the changes to the Purchase Order and notify the Customer in writing of any changes to the Price of the Goods and/or Services due to the changes to the Purchase Order and, if required, negotiate a variation to the Price with the Customer pursuant to clause 6; or
    3. reject the proposed changes and cancel the Purchase Order.

    5.4 A variation to a Purchase Order pursuant to clause 5.1 will not take effect unless agreed by the parties in writing.

    5.5 Where either:

    1. the Customer cancels the Purchase Order in accordance with clause 5.1(b); or
    2. the Company cancels the Purchase Order pursuant to clause 5.3(c),

    the Customer will be liable to pay or reimburse the Company with respect to any Goods and/or Services delivered or any expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in expectation of delivering the Goods and/or Services in accordance with the Purchase Order (including raw materials or finished Goods specifically produced, imported or acquired by the Company to fulfil the Purchase Order), prior to the Company receiving the Customer's notice of variation or cancellation under clause 5.1.

    5.6 Nothing in clause 5.1 will remove or reduce the Customer's liability to the Company under clause 5.5.

    5.7 For the avoidance of doubt, once a Purchase Order has been accepted by the Company in accordance with clause 3.10(c), the Customer may only cancel it in accordance with clause 5.1(b). The Customer has no other right to vary or cancel an accepted Purchase Order.

    5.8 If the Company has accepted the Customer's Purchase Order but is, for any reason, unable to supply the Customer with all or part of the Services under the accepted Purchase Order, the Company must provide the Customer with prior written notice to that effect.

    5.9 The Company will not be liable to the Customer for any Loss arising from or in connection with the Company cancelling a Purchase Order under clause 5.3(c) and no Claim can be made against the Company or its Related Bodies Corporate by the Customer or a third party with respect to any such Loss.

    6.4 The Company may change the Price for the Goods and/or Services, and may discontinue or vary the promotion, sale, or special offer, in its sole discretion. Any such change or discontinuance will take effect only at the commencement of the next period of supply specified in the Purchase Order and will not affect the Price payable for the period of supply then in effect.

    6.5 The Company will provide Customer with reasonable notice of any increase to the Price that will apply to the next period of supply specified in the Purchase Order.

    6.6 If the Customer disagrees with a proposed Price change in relation to Goods and/or Services, as notified by the Company in accordance with clause 6.3:

    1. the Customer must notify the Company in writing of the reason for its dispute to the proposed Price change before the changes come into effect in accordance with clause 6.3 (Price Dispute Notice);
    2. the Customer and the Company must use their best endeavours to agree on a fair and reasonable Price change for the Goods and/or Services as soon as possible following the provision of the Price Dispute Notice; and
    3. if the Customer and the Company are unable to resolve any disagreement between them regarding the Price increase within 30 days of the Customer delivering a Price Dispute Notice to the Company, then:
      1. the parties must invoke the dispute resolution process in clause 19; and
      2. the Customer must pay the increased Price from the date it takes effect and comply with its other obligations under the Contract until the dispute is resolved.

    6.7 The Customer agrees that the Price change will not release the Customer from its obligation to pay the entire amount of the charges for the Goods and/or Services for the Term.

    6.8 If the Customer does not provide a Price Dispute Notice as required by clause 6.6(a) prior to the proposed Price change, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Price increase for the Services.

    7. Invoicing and Payment

    7.1 Unless otherwise stipulated or agreed by the Company in writing and subject to clause 7.7, payment of the Price must be made in immediately available funds by the due date specified in the Invoice, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Time is of the essence in relation to punctual payment.

    7.2 In accordance with clause 3.2, if the Purchase Order does not specify a due date for payment, the Customer must pay the Invoice within 14 days of the Invoice Date.

    7.3 Unless otherwise stipulated or agreed by the Company in writing, if an amount payable by the Customer is not paid in full by the due date, then the total Price will become immediately due and payable to the Company, irrespective of whether a portion of the Price would have become payable at a later date, and without limiting any other rights of the Company, the Company may:

    1. impose interest from the due date until payment of the Price, at the rate fixed from time to time under the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983 (Vic), calculated daily and compounding monthly; and/or
    2. suspend or cease supply of the Goods and/or Services without incurring any associated liability whatsoever to the Customer.

    7.4 The Customer will pay, and will indemnify the Company with respect to, all Losses incurred by the Company, its Related Bodies Corporate, advisers, agents and any other person, in respect of any action instituted or considered against the Customer, whether for debt, possession of Goods or otherwise, unless the matters the subject of the action are the subject of a dispute which is resolved in favour of the Customer pursuant to the procedures in clause 18.

    7.5 The Customer agrees that the Company may Invoice the Customer for charges relating to any agreed modifications to the Purchase Order.

    2. if the Company and the Customer are unable to resolve any dispute between them regarding the amount invoiced within five days of the Company receiving the Customer's notice under clause 7.6(a), either party may invoke the dispute resolution process in clause 19;
    3. each party must comply with its other obligations under this Contract until the dispute is resolved; and
    4. if the decision made or reached in respect of the dispute is that a lesser amount than the full amount of the Invoice in question is payable by the Customer, the Company must:

      2. if the Customer has not paid the invoice, issue a replacement invoice.

    8.2 Unless expressly stated otherwise, all amounts stated to be payable by the Customer under any Contract are exclusive of GST.

    8.3 If GST is imposed on any supply made under or in accordance with any Contract, the recipient of the taxable supply must pay to the supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on or for the taxable supply. Payment of the additional amount will be made at the same time as payment for the taxable supply is required to be made in accordance with the Contract, subject to the provision of a tax invoice by the supplier to the recipient.

    11.2 Subject to this clause 11, any written warranty the Company provides to the Customer in this Contract and any rights which cannot be excluded by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law) (Non-Excludable Rights), all warranties, conditions, liabilities or representations (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) as to the quality or fitness of the Goods and/or Services or as to the accuracy of information, advice or other services concerning the Goods and/or Services, are expressly excluded.

    11.3 This Contract does not exclude, restrict or modify the application of any statutory provision (including a provision of the Australian Consumer Law) where to do so would contravene that statute or cause any part of this Contract to be void.

    1. to cancel the Customer's service contract with the Company; and

    The Customer is also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with Goods. If a failure with the Goods and/or Services do not amount to a major failure, the Customer are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done the Customer is entitled to a refund for the Goods and to cancel the contract for the Services and obtain a refund of any unused portion. The Customer is also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the Goods or Services.

    11.5 Subject to clauses 11.2 to 11.4 (inclusive), to the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), the Company's liability for a breach of this Contract or any Non-Excludable Right will be limited, at the Company's option, to any one or more of the following:

    1. in the case of Services supplied by the Company:
      1. the supply of the Services again; or
      2. the refund of the Price paid by the Customer for the Services; and

      1. the replacement of the Goods or the supply of equivalent Goods;
      2. the repair of the Goods;
      3. the payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or acquiring equivalent Goods; or
      4. the payment of the cost of having the Goods repaired.

    11.6 Every exclusion or exemption from liability and every right, defence and immunity of whatsoever nature applicable to the Company or to which the Company is entitled under this clause 11 is also available and extends to protect the Personnel of the Company while acting in the course of or in connection with his or her employment or engagement, and for these purposes the Company is deemed to be acting as agent or trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of all its Personnel and all such persons are to that extent deemed to be parties to the Contract.

    1. demand immediate repayment of the balance of the Price due and payable by the Customer;
    2. request the immediate return of any Goods for which the Customer has not paid for; and

    19. Dispute Resolution

    19.1 If any dispute arises in relation to the Contract, including in relation to its interpretation or any aspect of its performance, no party may commence any form of legal proceedings, unless and until the parties have complied with the procedures set out in this clause 19, except where a party seeks urgent interlocutory relief or the dispute relates to compliance with this clause 19.

    19.4 If the parties have not resolved the dispute within 7 days of the meeting referred to in clause 19.3 (or such further period as agreed in writing by them), the parties must mediate the dispute, which must be conducted in Melbourne (or as agreed in writing between the parties), in accordance with the ACICA Mediation Rules (in operation from time to time) by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), except where they conflict with this clause 19 in which case this clause 19 will prevail.
