9. LIABILITY AND LIMITATIONS

CUSTOMER’S ATTENTION IS EXPRESSLY DRAWN TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CLAUSE

9.1         Limitation of liability.     

The obligations accepted by TRACKALACTIC in clause 2.3 are in lieu of all other warranties or conditions of any kind, express or implied, regarding any software, services, data, reports or documentation including any SaaS Services provided or procured by TRACKALACTIC and including warranties or conditions of quality, performance, non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Nor are there any warranties created by course of dealing, course of performance, or trade usage. Further TRACKALACTIC does not represent or warrant that the Software, any SaaS Services or any applicable third party software or service will always be available, accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete, error-free, or will operate without packet loss, nor does TRACKALACTIC warrant any connection to or transmission from the internet

The Software, SaaS Services and any applicable third party software or service may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. TRACKALACTIC is not responsible and shall have no liability of any kind for any delays, delivery failures or other damage or loss resulting in any way from such use

TRACKALACTIC accepts no liability of any kind whatsoever, including liability for negligence, for the continuing existence, operation, interoperability, facilities or functions or consequences direct or indirect of any Customer using the internet or any other electronic communications facility to access the SaaS Services

In no event shall TRACKALACTIC be liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages (including damages for loss of business profits or anticipated savings, business interruption or loss of business information) however caused (including negligence) arising out of the relationship between TRACKALACTIC and the Customer even if it has been advised of the possibility of such damages

In any event TRACKALACTIC’ cumulative liability under these terms or any transaction contemplated hereunder or for any software data report or information or service provided to the Customer or any defect or failure therein or arising from any court of competent jurisdiction holding any of the above warranties or disclaimers or limitations of liability invalid, including any cause of action in contract, tort or strict liability, shall be limited to the amount of fees paid by the Customer to TRACKALACTIC under these terms during the 12 months prior to such event. TRACKALACTIC’ limitation of liability is cumulative with all TRACKALACTIC expenditures to address liability being aggregated to determine satisfaction of the limit.  The Customer releases TRACKALACTIC from all obligations, liabilities, claims or demands in excess of the limitation. The parties acknowledge that other parts of these terms rely upon the inclusion of this clause 12 and the resulting allocation of risks

Nothing in these terms shall exclude or limit the liability of TRACKALACTIC, its service entities and personnel for fraud or where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, and then only to the extent of the prohibition 

9.2         Customer acknowledges and agrees that TRACKALACTIC has no liability of any nature whatsoever 

9.2.1       to any person for the content of any third party communications publications or sources from which any data, reports or information is provided through Customer’s use of any Service or

9.2.2       for such data, reports or information including without limitation its accuracy, quality, integrity, reliability or appropriateness for any purpose and the Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for any use it makes of such data, reports or information including any breach of copyright or other right obligation or duty recognised by the laws of any jurisdiction

9.3       TRACKALACTIC does not give any opinions or advice concerning the use or non use of any data reports or information provided or available to Customer through its use of any Service. Such data reports or information may need further expert or specialist advice or interpretation to be obtained by the Customer before they can be fully or partly understood or assessed or use made of or reliance placed on them. TRACKALACTIC accepts no liability for any claim notified to it more than six months after the date of receipt by the Customer from TRACKALACTIC of any such data report or information in respect of which the claim arises

9.4        Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms TRACKALACTIC does not warrant that use or operation of the Software, the SaaS Service or any third party software or service will be uninterrupted or error-free

9.5         As some jurisdictions do not allow some of the exclusions set out in this clause 9, some of these exclusions may not apply to you. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction rules any other limitation of liability invalid or unenforceable, TRACKALACTIC’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total sum which TRACKALACTIC may recover with respect to its liability for such loss or damage under its professional indemnity insurance (which at the date of this agreement is with respect to such insurance not less than $1,000,000 for any one claim or series of claims arising out of one incident or event)

9.6         For the avoidance of doubt, time shall not be of the essence of this contract. If TRACKALACTIC shall fail to provide access to or use of the Software, any Service or any applicable third party software or service by any applicable agreed date, other than as a consequence of any act or omission of the Customer (whether or not such act or omission constitutes a breach of these terms) or a third party over which TRACKALACTIC has no control or responsibility, then TRACKALACTIC shall provide such resources as may be at its disposal and reasonably required in order to provide access to or use of such software or service within the shortest possible time thereafter and compliance by TRACKALACTIC with this clause 9.6 shall be in full and final settlement of any liability it may have for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer as a result of such failure by TRACKALACTIC

9.7         The Customer and TRACKALACTIC agree that all terms and limitations of these terms, including the warranty and liability limitations and exclusions, are fair and reasonable in light of the amounts to be paid by the Customer, the nature of the Services, the strength of the bargaining position of each party, the alternative ways the Customers needs could have been met and the potential benefits and risks for both party in entering into these terms 

9.8       Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, where any Act of Parliament implies any term into this agreement, and that Act avoids or prohibits provisions in a contract excluding or modifying such term, that term shall be deemed to be included in this agreement, but each party’s liability for breach of that term shall be limited in one or more of the ways (at such party’s option) permitted by section 68A(1) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) 

10. FORCE MAJEURE

Notwithstanding anything else contained in these terms, neither party shall be liable for any delay in performing its obligations under these terms or any Order Form if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control and any delay caused by any act or omission of the other party (whether or not such act or omission constitutes a breach of these terms) or a third party provided however that any delay by a sub-contractor or supplier of the party so delaying shall not relieve that party from liability for delay except where such delay is beyond the reasonable control of the sub-contractor or supplier concerned. The performance of the affected party’s obligations shall be suspended during the period that the relevant circumstances persist and, if applicable to any obligation under these terms or any Order Form, the affected party shall be granted an extension of time for performance equal to the period of the delay.  Except where such delay is caused by the act or omission of the other party (in which event the rights, remedies and liabilities of the parties shall be those conferred and imposed by the other terms of these terms and by law) any costs arising from such delay shall be borne by the party incurring the same. Both parties will in any event use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate the impact of any event of force majeure and to recommence performance of their obligations under these terms as soon as reasonably possible

11. CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1         Definition of Confidential Information and Exclusions.

If any party has any doubts about what constitutes Confidential Information then such party agrees to consult with the other party before acting in any manner that may breach its obligations under these terms

Confidential Information shall not include any information, however designated, that

11.1.1       is or subsequently becomes publicly available without Receiving Party’s breach of any obligation owed to Disclosing Party

11.1.2       became known to Receiving Party prior to Disclosing Party’s disclosure of such information to Receiving Party pursuant to or prior to or in contemplation of these terms

11.1.3       became known to Receiving Party from a source other than Disclosing Party other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Disclosing Party

11.1.4       is independently developed by Receiving Party without use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or

11.1.5       constitutes Suggestions (as defined in clause 11.4 of these terms)

11.2         Obligations Regarding Confidential Information.

Receiving Party shall

11.2.1       refrain from disclosing any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to third parties for ten (10) years following the date that Disclosing Party first discloses such Confidential Information to Receiving Party

11.2.2       take reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and shall procure that all of its directors, employees, professional advisers and sub-contractors who have access to any information of the disclosing party to which the obligations of clause 11 apply shall be made aware of those obligations

11.2.3       not disclose any Confidential Information to its sub-contractors without first obtaining their written agreement to confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those set out in this clause 11

Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of Disclosing Party in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order, provided that Receiving Party either

11.2.4       gives the Disclosing Party reasonable notice prior to such disclosure to allow Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent, or

11.2.5       obtains written assurance from the applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford the Confidential Information the highest level of protection afforded under applicable law or regulation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not disclose any computer source code that contains Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order unless it complies with the requirement set forth in clause 11.2.4

Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this clause 11 by Receiving Party and its employees and consultants, and will cooperate with Disclosing Party in every reasonable way to help Disclosing Party regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure

Upon termination of these terms for any reason, Receiving Party shall, at Disclosing Party’s request, return all originals,

copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information and all other tangible materials and devices provided to the Receiving Party as Confidential Information, or at Disclosing Party’s option, certify destruction of the same

 

11.3         Miscellaneous.

The parties acknowledge that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that Disclosing Party shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction

All Confidential Information is and shall remain the property of Disclosing Party.  By disclosing Confidential Information to Receiving Party, Disclosing Party does not grant any express or implied right to Receiving Party to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein.  Disclosing Party reserves without prejudice the ability to protect its rights under any such patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets except as otherwise provided herein

11.4         Suggestions.

              The Customer may from time to time provide Suggestions to TRACKALACTIC.  Both parties agree that all Suggestions are and shall be given entirely voluntarily.  Suggestions, even if designated as confidential by the Customer, shall not, absent a separate written agreement, create any confidentiality obligation for TRACKALACTIC.  Furthermore, except as otherwise provided herein or in a separate subsequent written agreement between the parties, TRACKALACTIC shall be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license or otherwise distribute, and exploit the Suggestions provided to it as it sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind on account of intellectual property rights or otherwise

12. TERMINATION

12.1         Unless otherwise agreed, any SaaS Service shall commence on the relevant Commencement Date and shall continue thereafter only during such periods in respect of which the applicable Subscription Fee shall have been paid in full to TRACKALACTIC unless and until otherwise validly terminated under these terms. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, at the end of any Subscription Period, or Minimum Term if applicable, this agreement and the Services will automatically be extended for a subsequent minimum Subscription Period unless the Customer or TRACKALACTIC gives not less than three calendar months notice of termination with effect at the expiry of the then current Subscription Period

12.2         Either party may terminate these terms by written notice if

12.2.1       the other party commits any breach of any provision of these terms or any effective Order Form which is capable of remedy (including for the avoidance of doubt any breach referred to in clause 12.1.2) and that other party fails to remedy the breach within 14 days after receipt of a written notice giving full particulars of the breach and requiring it to be remedied

12.2.2       the other party commits any breach of any provision of these terms which constitutes a material breach (material breach for this purpose meaning a breach that has caused or, with the passage of time, will cause substantial harm to the interests of the aggrieved party or if it involves knowing and unauthorised infringement of the aggrieved party’s intellectual property, or if it involves knowing or grossly negligent unauthorised disclosure or use of the aggrieved party’s confidential information, or if it involves a continuing failure after warning to pay any undisputed fees when due, or if the aggregate effect of non-material breaches by the same party satisfies these standards for materiality)

12.2.3       the other party shall have a receiver or administrative receiver appointed or shall pass a resolution for winding-up (otherwise than for the purpose of a bona fide scheme of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or a court of competent jurisdiction shall make an order to that effect or if the other party shall become subject to an administration order (or have an administrator appointed) or shall enter into any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or shall cease or threaten to cease to carry on business

12.2.4       there are no outstanding Services agreed to be provided under these terms

12.3         Upon any termination of these terms

13. GENERAL

13.1         Neither party has been induced to enter into these terms by a statement or promise which it does not contain. These terms and any applicable Order Form constitutes the entire agreement between TRACKALACTIC and the Customer with respect to the supply of Services and supersedes all previous communications, representations and agreements either written or oral (save for fraudulent misrepresentation) with respect thereto. This shall not exclude any liability which a party would otherwise have to the other party in respect of any statement made fraudulently by that party prior to the date of these terms. The application of any general terms and conditions upon which the Customer trades or which it seeks to impose by inclusion in any purchase order or by way of course of trading or otherwise are excluded and shall be of no effect

13.2         The Customer may not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations under these terms without the prior written consent of TRACKALACTIC such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the foregoing, these terms will bind and inure to the benefit of any successors and assigns. TRACKALACTIC may use subcontractors in the performance of the Services but will remain liable to the Customer in accordance with this agreement for the Services provided

13.3         This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and any courts that may hear appeals from those courts in respect of any proceedings in connection with this agreement and may not seek to have any proceedings removed from the jurisdiction of New South Wales on the grounds of forum non conveniens

 

13.4       Each provision of these terms shall be construed separately and notwithstanding that the whole or any part of any such provision may be held by any body of competent jurisdiction to be illegal invalid or unenforceable the other provisions of these terms and the remainder of the provision in question shall continue in full force and effect. The parties hereby agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision

 

13.5           During the period during which TRACKALACTIC is providing the Services and for a period of 9 months thereafter neither party shall (whether personally or by its agent and whether for itself or on behalf of any other person, firm or company) recruit, solicit, induce or seek to induce any employee or contractor of the other party involved in the performance of the Services or obligations under these terms to leave its employment or terminate or breach its contract with such other party, provided however, that neither party will be precluded from engaging in general recruiting techniques that do not target the employees of the other party and from employing any person responding to such general solicitation. In the event that a party is in breach of this clause 13.5 it shall pay to the party which has suffered loss as a result of such breach (the “innocent party”), by way of a genuine pre-estimate of the innocent party’s damages, a sum calculated at the total aggregate value of fees, salary and other benefits paid to the employee or contractor concerned by the innocent party during the last 6 months of such employee’s employment or contractor’s engagement with the innocent party 

13.6.       The relationship of TRACKALACTIC to the Customer is solely that of independent contractor, and nothing contained herein is intended or will be construed as establishing an employment, joint venture, partnership, commission agent or other business relationship between the parties

 

13.7       Any variation of these terms must be in writing, expressly state that it forms part of the contractual arrangements between the parties and be signed by an authorised representative of each of the parties. No term or provision hereof will be deemed waived and no breach excused unless such waiver or consent is in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented

 

13.8       The Customer agrees that TRACKALACTIC may refer to the Customer as a customer of TRACKALACTIC and as a user of its Software in TRACKALACTIC marketing and public relations material. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 13.8 does not give either party the right to disclose Confidential Information

 

13.9       The parties confirm their intent not to confer any rights on any third parties by virtue of this agreement

 

13.10         TRACKALACTIC in its sole discretion may accept, by notice in writing to the Customer to that effect, that a facsimile or scanned copy of an original signature transmitted or emailed to it by the Customer is effective to create a binding agreement as if the document bearing the original signature was sent to it
