Subject to any obligations under the ACL or NZCL, you indemnify us for any costs incurred when you request us to repair faulty goods that are subsequently found not to be faulty, or where you are found to have caused the goods to become faulty through abnormal use or otherwise.

 

12. Business uses of our services

If you are using our services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these Terms of Use.

For the avoidance of doubt, if you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms of Use restricts, limits or modifies your rights or remedies against us for failure of a statutory guarantee under the ACL or NZCL, as appropriate.

We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses or expenses suffered by you or any third party, howsoever caused, including but not limited to loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill or any liability to any other party, save for our cost of provision of the goods and except to the extent of any liability imposed by the ACL or NZCL, as appropriate.

You acknowledge that:

  • you have not relied on any service involving skill and judgment, or on any advice, recommendation, information or assistance provided by us in relation to the goods or their use or application; and
  • you have not made known, either expressly or by implication, to us any purpose for which it requires the goods and you have the sole responsibility of satisfying yourself that the goods are suitable for your use.

 

14. General Matters

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, and the courts entitled the hear appeals from those courts. Any provision in these Terms which is invalid or unenforceable must be read down, if possible, so as to be valid and enforceable. If that provision cannot be read down, then it is to be severed to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms. Our failure to enforce any of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any of our rights. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
