21.2 If an adjustment event arises in respect of any supply made under this Agreement, a corresponding adjustment must be made between the supplier and the recipient in respect of any amount paid by the recipient under this clause, an adjustment note issued if required, and any payments to give effect to the adjustment must be made.

21.3 If the recipient is required under this Agreement to pay for or reimburse an expense or outgoing of the supplier, or is required to make a payment under an indemnity in respect of an expense or outgoing of the supplier, the amount to be paid by the recipient is to be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit in respect of that expense or outgoing that the supplier is entitled to.

21.5 Where a value-added tax in your own country is applicable, the Fees will be exclusive of such value-added tax. You are responsible for all taxes, levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities in your own country, and you shall be responsible for the payment of them. We have no responsibility to them on your behalf.

The Parties must meet (whether in person, by telephone or video conference) within 10 Business Days of service of the Dispute Notice to seek (in good faith) to resolve the Dispute.

If the Parties do not resolve the Dispute within 20 Business Days of the date the Dispute Notice was served (or such further period as agreed in writing by the Parties), either Party may:

(a) where you are resident or incorporated in Australia, refer the matter to mediation, administered by the Australian Disputes Centre, to be conducted in Sydney, New South Wales, in accordance with the Australian Disputes Centre Guidelines for Commercial Mediation.

(b) where you are not resident or incorporated in Australia, refer the matter to arbitration administered by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, with such arbitration to be conducted in Sydney, New South Wales, before one arbitrator, in English and in accordance with the ACICA Arbitration Rules.

Nothing in this clause will operate to prevent a Party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

22.6 Force Majeure: Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations under this Agreement resulting from a Force Majeure Event. The affected Party must promptly notify the other Party of the Force Majeure Event and use reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects. If a Force Majeure Event prevents performance of a material obligation for more than 60 days, the unaffected Party may terminate this Agreement upon notice. This clause will not apply to a Party’s obligation to pay any amount that is due and payable to the other Party under this Agreement.

22.7 Governing law: Unless otherwise specified in an Order, this Agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales.

22.12 Waiver: Any failure or delay by a Party in exercising a power or right (either wholly or partially) in relation to this Agreement does not operate as a waiver or prevent that Party from exercising that power or right or any other power or right. A waiver must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically stated.

22.13 Severance: If a provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision is to be read down as narrowly as necessary to allow it to be valid or enforceable, failing which, that provision (or that part of that provision) will be severed from this Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision or the other provisions in this Agreement.
