1. Exclusive Terms and Conditions. Together with any other terms that any legal
entity that is part of the Has holdings pty ltd business (“Seller”) and the
legal entity purchasing the Goods and Services (“Buyer”) agree to in writing, –
together with the last proposal in order of time issued by Seller - these Terms
and Conditions of Sale form the exclusive terms (“Agreement”) whereby Buyer
agrees to purchase, and Seller agrees to sell products and equipment (“Goods”)
and provide advice, instruction and other services in connection with the sale
of those Goods (“Services”). Buyer agrees that this Agreement will control the
relationship by accepting Goods and Services from Seller, even if Buyer sends to
Seller other terms and conditions to which Seller may not respond
2. Buyer Obligations. Seller will not control the actual operation of either
Buyer’s systems or Goods at the site, and unless otherwise specifically agreed
in writing, dosification and/or installation of Goods shall be the
responsibility of Buyer. Goods and Services provided hereunder are based upon
the information Buyer makes available to Seller, and Seller reserves the right
to utilize the most compact and feasible design compatible with sound
engineering practices, and to make changes in details of design, construction
and arrangement of Goods unless precluded by limitations (including, but not
limited to actual space and feedwater/substance quality specifications)
specified by Buyer in writing at the time an order is placed. If no such
limitations are specified, Seller shall not be held responsible for
incompatibility of the Goods and Services due to changes in feedwater/substance
quality specifications or site conditions nor for incompatibility with actual
space or design limitations, which were not initially disclosed by Buyer and
become apparent at a later date. For Services to be accurate and Goods to work
as intended, Buyer must fulfill the following obligations (“Obligations”): (a)
provide Seller complete and accurate information and data relevant to the scope
of work to be provided, such as information related to Buyer’s site conditions,
systems, related equipment and processes, feedwater or other substances to be
treated or measured with the Goods, including any hidden, unapparent, or
changing conditions that may affect the effectiveness of the Goods; (b) operate
all related systems and the Goods within the agreed to control parameters or, if
none, within industry customary operating conditions; (c) maintain all related
systems and Goods in good operating condition and repair; and (d) maintain and
handle Goods in a proper and safe manner. If Buyer fails to fulfill the
foregoing Obligations, Seller shall be relieved of any obligations with respect
to warranties or any other commitments made to Buyer in writing, and Seller
shall have no liability for any loss, damage or injury which Buyer may sustain
or for which Buyer may be liable. Buyer is solely responsible for the operation
of Buyer’s systems, including ensuring that the systems are operated and
maintained properly and comply with all laws, rules, regulations, license
conditions and orders. Seller will not operate, inspect or maintain Buyer’s
systems or act as a licensed operator as defined by local regulatory
authorities. Goods and Services sold by Seller are not intended for use in
connection with any nuclear facility or activity. Buyer shall not sell or permit
the use of the Goods in connection with any nuclear installation or activity
without the prior written consent of Seller. If, in breach of this, any such use
occurs, Seller (and its parent, Affiliates, suppliers and subcontractors)
disclaims all liability for any nuclear or other damage, injury or
contamination, and, in addition to any other rights of Seller, Buyer shall
indemnify and hold Seller (and its parent, Affiliates, suppliers and
subcontractors) harmless against all such liability. Buyer shall be responsible
for using or disposing of all Goods, including the empty packaging in which
Goods were contained once delivered to Buyer and where applicable such disposal
should be pursuant to Section 9 herein. Buyer shall maintain all risk property
and boiler and machinery breakdown insurance covering the full replacement value
of Buyer’s site, systems and related equipment, together with business
interruption coverage, which includes a waiver of subrogation in favor of Seller
and its affiliates. Prior to commencement of any work under this Agreement, and
not less than annually thereafter during the term of this Agreement, Buyer shall
deliver to Seller a certificate(s) of insurance and copy of waiver of
subrogation endorsement evidencing that the foregoing insurance is in full force
and effect. Seller shall maintain types and amounts of insurance against loss or
damage and such other risks as customarily insured against by businesses whose
operations are comparable to those of Seller. Seller shall not be obliged to add
Buyer or any other third party as an additional insured under Seller’s insurance
policies.
3. Delivery. All delivery designations are INCOTERMS 2010. Except for the
provisions relating to Consigned Goods as per additional terms and conditions to
be provided by Seller to these Terms and Conditions and section 8 of this
Agreement, title and risk of loss or damage to Goods as well as containers and
tanks in which Goods are contained, shall pass to Buyer upon Seller making the
Goods available to Buyer for collection at Seller’s premises. Delivery dates
indicated by Seller are only approximate. Quotations and proposal drawings
provided by Seller show only general style, arrangement and approximate
dimensions and weight. If any part of the Goods cannot be delivered when ready
due to any cause not attributable to Seller, Buyer shall designate an alternate
storage location, and Seller shall ship such Goods to storage. Title and risk of
loss shall thereupon pass to Buyer and amounts payable to Seller upon delivery
or shipment shall be paid by Buyer along with expenses incurred by Seller.
Services provided herein shall be charged at the rate prevailing at the time of
actual use and Buyer shall pay any increase, and Buyer shall pay directly all
costs for storage and subsequent transportation. Failure by Buyer to take
delivery of the Goods shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
4. Payment and Prices. Unless otherwise specified in writing, payment is due net
thirty (30) days from the date of Seller’s invoice, which shall be issued at the
time of shipment. The prices quoted herein do not include taxes or duties. Buyer
shall be directly responsible, and reimburse Seller, for the gross amount of any
present or future bond, sales, use, excise, value-added, environmental or other
similar tax or duty applicable to the price, sale of delivery of any Goods or
Services furnished hereunder. Buyer shall provide to Seller, within one (1)
month of payment, official receipts from the applicable governmental authority
for deducted or withheld taxes. Unless Buyer has furnished Seller with evidence
of tax exemption or direct pay permit acceptable to taxing authorities prior to
the execution of the Agreement or Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s purchase order
(as the case may be), Buyer shall pay all taxes as invoiced by Seller and Seller
is relieved of any obligation to (i) apply any tax exemption or direct pay
permit, and/or (ii) refund to Buyer any tax paid by Seller. Seller’s invoices
will only be issued without domestic VAT where Buyer either makes available to
Seller their valid VAT number in the case of an intercommunity supply or
provides a valid certificate or acceptable statement for VAT or duty exemption.
If Buyer is to arrange the export or intercommunity shipment, upon request by
Seller, Buyer agrees to provide free of charge to Seller, evidence of
exportation or intercommunity shipment that makes reference to Seller's invoice
number and this documentation is acceptable to the relevant tax or custom
authorities. In the event that there is either a failure to meet any of the
above conditions or the information or documentation provided is deemed to be
defective in any way by the tax or custom authorities then Seller will have the
right to separately invoice Buyer for any taxes, VAT or duties payable together
with any interest or penalties that Seller incurs as a result and Buyer shall
pay this invoice in accordance with the payment terms of this Agreement. For
multi-year agreements, pricing stated shall remain firm for twelve (12) months,
after which Seller shall be entitled to adjust pricing upward on an annual basis
according to the designated formula used by Seller in Buyer’s country and which
shall be notified to Buyer. Buyer will provide to Seller a new purchase order at
least thirty (30) days before expiration of any purchase order issued under this
Agreement. If purchase orders are not renewed or new purchase orders issued by
Buyer within this time scale, Seller, without any liability and without being
subject to any penalties that may be applicable as negotiated with Buyer, may
either: (a) decline to make deliveries of Goods or provide Services; or (b) if
requested in writing by Buyer, continue to deliver Goods and Services subject to
new prices that may be applicable and the Terms and Conditions of Seller (or any
deviation agreed to in writing by the Parties) and invoice Buyer for these under
the expired purchase order at prices in effect as of that date. However, where
the Agreement contains a designated price adjustment formula the Goods and
Services so delivered as per this Section 4 will be invoiced at the new rate
defined by said price adjustment formula. Buyer agrees to be bound to pay such
invoices in accordance with the payment terms of the Agreement. Unless otherwise
specified, all prices are Incoterms 2010 FCA Seller’s premises as of where Goods
will be shipped to Buyer. Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for collection costs,
including two percent (2%) interest per month, not to exceed the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law, should Buyer fail to timely pay. Buyer shall have
no rights to any setoffs of any nature relating to any payments due under the
Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms set forth herein or of any agreement or
acceptance of Seller’s quotation, Seller reserves the right at any time and from
time to time by notice in writing to Buyer to (a) increase Prices (or impose
temporary price adjustments) based on increases in the cost of base components
for the Goods or Services provided, where the increase is due to increased
global demand, limited supply, temporary product shortages, allocation of
supply, or such other similar inflationary pressures; and (b) impose a surcharge
equal to any increase in the cost of the Goods or Services as a result of a
modification of exchange rates, taxes or other levies imposed by public
authorities.
5. Payment for Excessive Usage; Lost and Damaged Goods. If payment for Goods is
based on some factor other than the actual amount of Goods delivered (e.g.,
payment is for a fixed amount, or based on usage or production), then Buyer
agrees to pay for all Goods (a) consumed as a result of Buyer’s failure to
comply with Obligations as set forth in Section 2; or (b) lost or damaged after
delivery to Buyer. Buyer shall provide Seller all information necessary to
calculate amounts due and enable Seller to audit those records.
6. Consigned Goods. If Goods are being made available to Buyer under a
consignment arrangement, additional terms and conditions shall be applicable and
shall be provided by Seller.
7. Limited Warranties. Seller warrants that the Goods shall conform to Seller’s
specifications and shall be free from defects in material and workmanship when
at all times operated in accordance with Seller’s written instructions; and that
the Services will be performed with the degree of skill which can reasonably be
expected from a seller engaged in a comparable business and providing comparable
services under comparable circumstances. Under no circumstances do Services
include the operation, inspection or maintenance of Buyer’s systems or acting as
a licensed operator as defined by local regulatory authorities. Unless otherwise
provided in any Warranty Schedule that may be attached hereto, the foregoing
warranties are valid: (a) for Chemicals, the earlier of, the shelf-life of the
product, or six (6) months from their date of delivery or the provision of
Services; (b) for Consumables, including Filters and Membranes, twelve (12)
months from their date of delivery, (c) for Goods other than Chemicals and
Consumables, the earlier of, fifteen (15) months from receipt, or twelve (12)

of receipt. Unless expressly agreed in a "Performance Warranty Document" signed
between the parties on a separate basis, there is no performance warranty on
Goods and Services or warranty on process results. For Goods not manufactured by
Seller, the warranty shall be the manufacturer’s transferable warranty only. Any
claim for breach of these warranties must be promptly notified in writing or the
claim will be void. Seller’s sole responsibility and Buyer’s exclusive remedy
arising out of or relating to the Goods or Services or any breach of these
warranties is limited to, at Seller’s option: (a) replacement of non-conforming
Goods or refund of purchase price of the non-conforming Goods; and (b)
re-performance of the Services at issue, or a refund of the amount paid for the
Services at issue. No allowance will be made for repairs or alterations made by
Buyer without Seller's written consent or approval. Goods may not be returned to
Seller without Seller's written permission. Seller will provide Buyer with a
"Return Material Order" number to use for returned goods. Buyer, as the original
purchaser, is not entitled to extend or transfer this warranty to any other
party. The foregoing warranties are in lieu of and exclude all other warranties,
statutory, express, or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or of
fitness for a particular purpose.
8. Use of Equipment, Tanks, and Containers. Semi-bulk containers (SBCs) owned by
Seller shall be used only for the storage of Goods approved by Seller and Buyer
shall return to Seller all SBCs owned by Seller in an "empty" condition, as
defined by appropriate transport or environmental regulations. Title to, and
risk of loss or damage of, all equipment, product containers (e.g., pails,
drums, recyclable intermediate bulk containers "IBC"), and tanks supplied to
Buyer shall pass to Buyer as provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement, except
that returnable SBCs shall remain property of Seller, unless otherwise stated in
Seller’s documentation.
9. Compliance with Laws; Permits. Buyer is responsible for compliance with all
laws and regulations applicable to the operation of its systems and to the
storage, use, handling, installation, maintenance, removal, registration and
labelling of all Goods from and after Buyer’s receipt of the Goods, as well as
for the proper management and disposal of all wastes and residues associated
with the Goods (including but not limited to containers, excess or off-spec
product, testing wastes (e.g., spent or expired lab reagents and test kits) and
signing manifests for waste transport and disposal. Buyer agrees to ensure that
all Goods and Services provided to Buyer for export are exported only in
compliance with applicable export control laws and regulations. Permits and
licenses which are required to operate apparatus or equipment or to use the
Goods, shall be procured by Buyer at Buyer’s sole expense. Buyer shall be
responsible for and procure all permits, licenses, exemptions, authorizations,
and approvals necessary to the operation of its systems, including but not
limited to permits related to liquid and solid waste handling and discharge, air
and water emissions, sound, safety, etc. Seller shall not be liable if any such
permit, license, exemption, authorization or approval is delayed, denied,
revoked, restricted, violated or not renewed and Buyer shall not be relieved
thereby of its obligations to pay Seller in accordance with this Agreement.
Seller’s obligations are conditioned upon Buyer’s compliance with all applicable
trade control laws and regulations. Buyer shall not trans-ship, re-export,
divert or direct Goods (including software and technical data) other than in and
to the ultimate country of destination declared by Buyer and specified as the
country of ultimate destination on Seller’s invoice. The obligations of the
parties to comply with all applicable trade control laws and regulations shall
survive any termination or discharge of any other contract obligations.
10. Excusable Delays. Seller shall not be liable nor in breach or default of its
obligations under this Agreement to the extent performance of such obligations
is delayed or prevented, directly or indirectly, due to causes beyond the
reasonable control of Seller, including, but not limited to: acts of God,
natural disasters, unusually severe weather, fire, terrorism, war (declared or
undeclared) epidemics, material shortages, insurrection, act (or omissions) of
Buyer or Buyer’s contractors/suppliers or agents, any act (or omission) by any
governmental authority, strikes, labour disputes, transportation shortages, or
vendor non-performance. The delivery or performance date shall be extended for a
period equal to the time lost by reason of delay or non-performance, plus such
additional time as may be necessary to overcome the effect of the delay or
non-performance. If delivery or performance is delayed for a period exceeding
180 (one hundred and eighty) days, either Party may terminate this Agreement
without further liability provided that Seller shall be paid an amount equal to
that which would be payable to Seller under the article entitled “Termination
and Suspension”. If Seller is delayed by any acts (or omissions) of Buyer, or by
the prerequisite work of Buyer’s other contractors or suppliers, Seller shall be
entitled to an equitable adjustment in schedule, price and/or performance, as
applicable.
11. Confidentiality and Intellectual Property. Both parties agree to keep
confidential the other party’s proprietary non-public information, if any, which
may be acquired in connection with this Agreement. Buyer will not, without
Seller’s advance written consent, subject Goods to testing, analysis, or any
type of reverse engineering or provide the Goods to any third party which may
subject the Goods to testing, analysis, or any type of reverse engineering.
Seller retains all intellectual property rights including copyright which it has
in all drawings and data, or other deliverables supplied or developed under this
Agreement, subject to Buyer’s right to use such drawings and data for its own
use without additional cost. Buyer acknowledges that Seller is in the business
of selling the Goods subject to this Agreement and agrees that it will not file
patent applications on the Goods, or processes and methods of using the Goods,
without Sellers express written permission. Buyer further agrees that in any
event any such patents will not be asserted against Seller, or its customers
based upon purchase and use of such Goods. Any software Seller owns and provides
pursuant to this Agreement shall remain Seller’s property. Seller provides to
Buyer a limited, non-exclusive, and terminable license to use the object code of
such software for the term of this Agreement. Buyer agrees not to export, copy
(except that Buyer may make one copy for backup purposes), sub-license,
translate, transfer, reverse engineer, or decode the software. Single user
versions of software may be used on one CPU. LAN/WAN versions may be used on a
single server with only the number of concurrent users as agreed to by the
parties. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Seller, this license shall
terminate and the software shall be returned to Seller upon termination of this
Agreement, or the material breach of the terms in this section. Seller shall
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any rightful claim of any third party
that any Good or Service infringes a patent in effect in the jurisdiction where
such Good or Service was provided by Seller to Buyer. Buyer shall notify Seller
promptly of the receipt of any such claim, shall not take any position adverse
to Seller regarding such claim and give Seller information, assistance, and
exclusive authority to settle and defend the claim. Seller shall, at its own
expense and choice, either (i) settle or defend the claim and pay all damages
and costs awarded in it against Buyer, or (ii) procure for Buyer the right to
continue using the Good or Service, or (iii) modify or replace the Good or
Service so that it becomes non-infringing, or (iv) remove the infringing Good or
cease performance of the Service, and refund the price. The foregoing list of
sub-sections (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) and related terms state the entire
liability of Seller for intellectual property infringement of any Good or
Service. Buyer shall be fully liable for any infringement of intellectual
property rights, including patent rights, of third parties arising out of the
products or services supplied hereunder where the construction or other
characteristics of such products or services such as design, or specifications,
or requirements, or modification of the Goods or Services, are prescribed to
Seller, or completed independently, by Buyer or agent(s). Buyer shall fully
defend and indemnify Seller in case of such claim(s). Buyer shall indemnify
Seller and hold Seller harmless for any patent infringement by a Good or Service
in the event that Buyer modifies the Good or Service provided by Seller, or that
Buyer uses the Good or Service in combination with other goods, services, and/or
other features which were not explicitly authorized by Seller.
12. Limitation on Liability. Except where expressly communicated to Seller,
Seller shall have no liability for incompatibility of Goods with Buyer’s actual
space or design limitations. To the extent permitted by law, the total liability
of Seller for all claims arising out of or relating to the performance or breach
of this Agreement or use of any Goods or Services shall not exceed the total
price paid by Buyer under this Agreement or for multi-annual agreements, the
annual price paid by Buyer under this Agreement. Seller shall not be liable for
any advice, instruction, assistance or any services that are not required under
this Agreement or for which Seller does not charge Buyer. In no event will
either party be liable to the other for lost profits or revenues, cost of
capital or replacement water or power, downtime costs or increased operating
costs, lost or decreased production, claims of Buyer’s customers for such
damages or any similar or comparable damages, or for any incidental, special,
consequential or indirect damages of any type or kind, irrespective of whether
arising from actual or alleged breach of warranty, indemnification, product
liability or strict liability, or any other legal theory. If Buyer is supplying,
or otherwise making available, Seller’s Goods or Services to a third party,
Buyer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller, its corporate
subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees
and agents, free and harmless from and against any and all losses, expenses,
liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, suits or other litigation,
arising out of or related to Seller's Goods or Services provided by Buyer to a
third party, including but not limited to products or services that may be
related to Seller's Goods or Services. Seller’s liability shall end upon
expiration of the applicable warranty period, provided that Buyer may continue
to enforce a claim for which it has given notice prior to that date by
commencing an action or arbitration, as applicable under this Agreement, before
expiration of any statute of limitations or other legal time limitation but in
no event later than five (5) months after expiration of such warranty period.
For purposes of this section "Seller" shall include Seller, its affiliates,
subcontractors and suppliers of any tier, and their respective agents and
employees, individually or collectively.
13. General Indemnity. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from
claims for physical damage to third party property or injury to persons,
including death, to the extent caused by the negligence of Seller or its
officers, agents, employees, and/or assigns while engaged in activities under
this Agreement. Buyer shall likewise indemnify and hold harmless Seller from
claims for physical damage to third party property or injury to persons,
including death, to the extent caused by the negligence of Buyer, its officers,
agents, employees, and/or assigns. In the event such damage or injury is caused
by the joint or concurrent negligence of Seller and Buyer, the loss shall be
borne by each Party in proportion to its negligence. For the purpose of this
Section: (i) “Third party” shall not include Buyer or any subsequent owner of
the Goods or Services, their subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, agents,
successors or assigns including any operation or maintenance contractor, or
their insurer; and (ii) no portion of the Goods is “third party property”. Buyer
expressly acknowledges that the limited or excluded warranties or liabilities
stipulated herein and waivers of actions against Seller deriving from the same,
are also stipulated in favor of Seller’s insurers.
14. Conflicts; Survival; No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. If there is any
conflict between this Agreement and any written proposal or quotation provided
by Seller, then the terms and conditions set forth in the proposal or quotation
shall prevail. If any term or condition of this Agreement or any accompanying
terms and conditions are held invalid or illegal, then such terms and conditions
shall be reformed to be made legal or valid, or deleted, but the remaining terms
and conditions shall remain in full force and effect, and the Agreement shall be
interpreted and implemented in a manner which best fulfills our intended
agreement. Except as specifically set forth above in Sections 2 entitled “Buyer
Obligations”, 11 entitled “Confidentiality and Intellectual Property” and 12
entitled "Limitation on Liability”, this Agreement and all of the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and inure only to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party,
including any employee or creditor of any party hereto or any affiliate thereof,
shall have any rights or obligations hereunder.
15. Assignment and Subcontracting. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
Seller may assign or novate its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in
whole or in part, to any of its affiliates and/or may assign any of its accounts
receivable under this Agreement to any party without Buyer’s consent. Buyer
agrees to execute any documents that may be necessary to complete Seller’s
assignment or novation. This Agreement shall not otherwise be assigned by either
party without the other party’s prior written consent, and any assignment
without said consent shall be void. Nothing herein shall prevent Seller from
placing or permitting the placing of subcontracts or orders on others for the
supply of materials, manpower or services within Seller’s scope of supply
provided that the placing of such subcontracts or orders shall not in any way
relieve Seller from any of its obligations under this Agreement, and provided
that Seller will procure that its subcontractors (to the extent engaged for
Seller’s scope hereunder) comply with all known and reasonable instructions
related to accessing Buyer’s facility.
16. Emergencies. If the safety of Seller’s personnel is threatened or likely to
be threatened by circumstances outside the reasonable control of Seller,
including but not limited to war, armed conflict, civil unrest, riots,
terrorism, kidnapping, presence of or exposure to hazardous materials, unsafe
working conditions, or by the threat of such circumstances or a lack of adequate
protections against such circumstances, Seller shall, with no liability as per
the terms of the Agreement, be entitled to take all necessary steps to ensure
the security and safety of its personnel including the evacuation of personnel
until such circumstances no longer apply and suspension of its obligations under
the Agreement until said circumstances, at Seller’s sole opinion, have ceased.
Any such occurrence shall be considered an excusable delay event. Buyer shall
reasonably assist in the event of any such evacuation.
17. Termination and Suspension. This Agreement and any performance pursuant to
it may be terminated or suspended by either party if the other party (a) is the
subject of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; or (b) defaults in its material
obligations under this Agreement, and such default is not cured within thirty
(30) days; If Seller shall have any doubt at any time as to Buyer's ability to
pay, Seller, without any liability and without being subject to any penalties
that may be applicable as negotiated with Buyer, may decline to make deliveries
of Goods or provide Services except on receipt of satisfactory security. Upon
the termination of this Agreement: (a) Buyer agrees to pay for all Goods in
Buyer’s possession or for which title has passed to Buyer, at current prices or
at such other prices as have been agreed to in writing; and (b) all amounts
owing, if any, for the equipment or tanks relating to those Goods shall
immediately become due and shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of
an invoice. In the event of cancellation of an order by Buyer, a cancellation
charge will be made against Buyer, in proportion to the work completed by
Seller, or obligated against the order, plus any cancellation charges assessed
against Seller by Seller’s suppliers. In addition, unless Buyer has been
invoiced by Seller specifically for all Goods delivered (including any levelized
billing Agreements that have already reconciled based on shipments),Seller will
invoice Buyer and Buyer shall pay Seller for all Goods on Buyer’s site at the
time of termination, including any fixed fees, consignment and production based
agreements.
18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is governed by the law
in force in the state of New South Wales, Australia. If the Agreement includes
the sale of Goods and Buyer is outside Seller’s country, the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall apply. Each
party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts exercising
jurisdiction in the state of New South Wales and any court that may hear appeals
from any of those courts, for any proceedings in connection with this Agreement,
and waives any right it might have to claim that those courts are an
inconvenient forum.
19. Miscellaneous. No modification, amendment, revision, waiver, or other change
shall be binding on either Party unless agreed in writing by the Party's
authorized representative. Any oral or written representation, warranty, course
of dealing, or trade usage not specified herein shall not be binding on either
Party. Each Party agrees that it has not relied on, or been induced by, any
representations of the other Party not contained in this Agreement.
20. Legislation. Certain legislation, including the Competition and Consumer Act
2010, as amended, may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations upon
Seller which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified except to a limited
extent. These conditions must be read and construed subject to any such
statutory provisions. If such statutory provisions apply, to the extent to which
Seller is entitled to do so, its liability shall be limited at its option to:
(a) In the case of a supply of Goods, the replacement of the Goods or the supply
of equivalent Goods; or the payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or
acquiring replacement Goods, or the payment of the cost of having the Goods
repaired, or the repair of the Goods; and (b) in the case of Services, the
supply of the Services again, or the payment of the cost of having the Services
