2.3 Customer must purchase through a Partner Australia. Customer must purchase access to, support of, and use of the SkyKick Platform through a Partner Australia pursuant to a Partner Agreement and Customer must consent to the Agreement before SkyKick provides any Services to Customer.
3. Customer Data, Data Protection, and Confidentiality.
3.1 Customer Data. As between SkyKick and Customer, Customer is the sole owner of the Customer Data. Customer authorizes SkyKick to perform such actions with respect to Customer Data as necessary for SkyKick to fulfill its obligations, including:
- to provide the Services and/or access to the SkyKick Platform (including, as applicable, to the Partner Australia or a Provider on Customer’s behalf), or
- to comply with any request of a governmental or regulatory body (including subpoenas or court orders).
Customer acknowledges that Customer (rather than SkyKick) is responsible for security, protection and backup of the Customer Data on any equipment and systems not owned or controlled by SkyKick (including Partner Australia and Provider systems).
3.2 Usage Data. SkyKick may collect, generate, use and store anonymous or aggregate information regarding use of the Services (“Usage Data”) solely for SkyKick’s business purposes (including billing, enhancing the Services and creating new features, functionality and services). As between SkyKick and Customer, SkyKick is the sole owner of the Usage Data.
3.3 Data Protection. SkyKick will meet its obligations under the Data Protection Laws that apply to the Services and the provision thereof by SkyKick. The SkyKick Data Processing Addendum applies between Customer and the relevant SkyKick affiliate. Insofar the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) applies, SkyKick classifies as a “processor” (being the Person who Processes Personal Information for a data controller), and Customer as a “controller” (being the Person who determines the purpose and means of Processing Personal Information) with respect to the Customer Data. In case SkyKick receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of Customer personal data, SkyKick agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after a careful assessment, SkyKick concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law, or principles of international comity. Upon request from Customer, SkyKick shall, where permissible under the laws of the country of destination, provide Customer with as much relevant information as reasonably and technically practicable on the requests received.
3.4 Confidentiality. Without limiting anything in Section 3.3, each Party will, during the Term and after it maintain in confidence the Confidential Information of the other Party and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in the Agreement. Each Party will use the same degree of care in protecting such Confidential Information as such Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than reasonable care. Each Party will use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of carrying out its respective obligations under the Agreement. In addition, each Party: (a) will not reproduce such Confidential Information, in any form, except as required to accomplish its obligations under the Agreement; and (b) will only disclose such Confidential Information to its employees, consultants and third-party service providers who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform their duties relating to the Agreement and have been informed of the obligation to preserve the confidentiality of such information prior to receiving such information. Confidential Information will be the property of the disclosing Party during the Term and afterwards in perpetuity, subject only to any exceptions expressly stated elsewhere in the Agreement.
3.5 Security. SkyKick is responsible for the security of SkyKick’s IT systems. During the Term, SkyKick shall implement and maintain security safeguards as it deems reasonably necessary to account for (i) material changes to relevant technology or systems; or (ii) the discovery of a material privacy or security vulnerability or weakness.
4. Proprietary Rights.
As between SkyKick and Customer, other than the limited rights expressly granted to Customer under this Agreement, SkyKick or its licensors own and reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the SkyKick Platform and Services, including, without limitation, any SkyKick proprietary software or technology utilized in the provision or use thereof, the Documentation, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Customer acknowledges that (a) all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including the SkyKick Platform and Documentation provided in connection with them, and all Intellectual Property Rights embodied in them or associated with them, are and shall remain with SkyKick or its third-party licensors; (b) no right or interest in the SkyKick Platform is conveyed other than the limited rights expressly granted in the Agreement; (c) the SkyKick Platform is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws; and (d) the SkyKick Platform embodies valuable confidential and trade secret information of SkyKick or its licensors, the development of which required the expenditure of considerable time and money. Customer will not take or encourage any action during or after the Term that will infringe any rights of SkyKick or its licensors in and to the SkyKick Platform, any proprietary software or technology of SkyKick, or any Intellectual Property Rights in and to any of the foregoing.
5. SkyKick Services.
5.1 Provision of Services. SkyKick will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services substantially in accordance with the applicable Documentation for such Services.
5.2 Access and Use of the SkyKick Platform. During the Term, SkyKick grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use, and permit and enable its Users to access and use, the SkyKick Platform, including the right to install any software clients and other code as provided and instructed by SkyKick, and related Documentation, solely in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement, strictly for Customer’s own business operations, and not for re-sale or redistribution. Except for the limited rights granted under the Agreement, SkyKick reserves all rights not expressly granted and no additional rights are implied.
6. Customer’s Obligations and Acknowledgements.
6.1 Customer Cooperation. Customer understands and agrees that Customer’s full, reasonable cooperation is required in order for SkyKick to properly, efficiently and effectively perform the Services. CUSTOMER AGREES TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF SKYKICK’S AND THE PARTNER AUSTRALIA’S REASONABLE REQUESTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO CUSTOMER FOR SUCH PURPOSE. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT FAILURE TO SO COOPERATE WITH SKYKICK OR THE PARTNER AUSTRALIA COULD RESULT IN SKYKICK’S INABILITY TO PROPERLY, EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY PERFORM THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND IS A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY CUSTOMER. SkyKick’s provision of the Services is subject to Customer’s cooperation (including the cooperation of third parties under such Customer’s control) with SkyKick and the Partner Australia and Customer’s compliance with the Agreement. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE BREACH, MISTAKE, FRAUD, NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF SKYKICK OR ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS, CUSTOMER (RATHER THAN SKYKICK) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DEFICIENCIES OR FAILURES THAT OCCUR IN THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES AS A RESULT OF CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO COOPERATE WITH SKYKICK AS REQUIRED UNDER THE AGREEMENT. Customer consents to receive communications from SkyKick (via email or other means) regarding SkyKick’s performance of the Services.
6.2 Customer Compliance with Provider Agreement and Partner Agreement. Customer will comply with the Partner Agreement and any applicable Provider Agreement. Acts and omissions of Customer, Providers or Partner Australia under any Provider Agreement or Partner Agreement are their own responsibility. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH ACTS OR OMISSIONS ARE CAUSED BY THE BREACH, MISTAKE, FRAUD, NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF SKYKICK OR ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS, SKYKICK WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR BREACH OF CUSTOMER, PARTNER AUSTRALIA OR PROVIDERS OF THE PARTNER AGREEMENT AND/OR PROVIDER AGREEMENT.
6.3 Customer Compliance with Law. Customer will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to its access and use of the SkyKick Platform and Services under the Agreement (including without limitation (a) laws and policies related to unsolicited, commercial e-mails including, the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) or any illegal, objectionable or offensive activities, (b) laws applicable to Customer’s processing and storage of Customer Data in connection with Customer’s use of the SkyKick Platform and the Services, and (c) as applicable, those concerning the exporting, importing and re-exporting of computer software and the protection of privacy and Personal Information, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (even if Customer is not an organization bound by the Act).
6.4 Obligations Regarding Customer Data. Customer acknowledges that SkyKick has no control over Customer Data outside of SkyKick’s systems including Customer’s own collection or use of the Customer Data. ACCORDINGLY, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IT (RATHER THAN SKYKICK) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND CUSTOMER WILL INDEMNIFY SKYKICK AGAINST ANY LIABILITIES OF SKYKICK ARISING FROM: (A) THE COLLECTION, USE OR DISCLOSURE OF THE CUSTOMER DATA BY CUSTOMER BEING NOT COMPLIANT WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND SKYKICK POLICIES; (B) ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE CUSTOMER DATA AND CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT OR SKYKICK COMPLYING WITH THE AGREEMENT; AND (C) SKYKICK HANDLING AND PROCESSING NOTICES SENT TO CUSTOMER BY ANY PERSON CLAIMING THAT ANY PROCESSING OF CUSTOMER DATA BY SKYKICK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT VIOLATES SUCH PERSON’S RIGHTS. The exclusion of SkyKick’s liability and the indemnity of SkyKick will not apply to the extent the Liabilities of SkyKick arise as a result of breach of the Agreement, mistake, fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of SkyKick or its employees, officers, contractors or agents.
6.5 Customer agreement to SkyKick changes to Services during the Term. In addition to the changes that may be made in accordance with Section 13.10 (Modifications to the SkyKick Customer Terms & Conditions Australia and other changes), given the rapidly changing technology landscape, Customer acknowledges that SkyKick may need to expand, modify or cease providing the Services (or parts of it) or to update the Documentation from time to time where reasonably necessary due to changes in the industry (such as best practices or technology), changes in applicable law (including applicable industry codes, rules, standards and regulations), changes in SkyKick’s business processes and products (such as new functionalities or features) or where third party suppliers and service providers to SkyKick undergo similar changes which are imposed on SkyKick and are necessary to providing the Services. SkyKick will endeavour to provide Customer with reasonable advance notice in writing prior to implementing any such expansions, modifications or cessations where it is reasonably practicable to do so. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT SKYKICK MAY INTRODUCE NEW SERVICES AND/OR ALTER OR CEASE EXISTING SERVICES OR PARTS OF THEM, INCLUDING REVISING THE USER INTERFACE, FEATURES, AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICES AS PART OF SUCH CHANGES TO THE SERVICES DURING THE TERM OR REVISE THE DOCUMENTATION DURING THE TERM ON REASONABLE NOTIFICATION TO THE CUSTOMER (DIRECTLY OR VIA THE PARTNER AUSTRALIA). In each case, where the change is expected to have a material adverse impact on Customers, SkyKick will communicate that and endeavour to minimise such adverse impacts to the extent reasonably practicable to do so and provide a right of Customer to terminate the Services without payment of any early termination charges.
6.6 User Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not encourage or permit any User or other Person to: (a) use the SkyKick Platform, including the Services, in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by the Agreement; (b) access or use the SkyKick Platform in a way intended to avoid incurring fees to be paid to SkyKick pursuant to the Agreement and in breach of it; (c) upload, post or store any content that infringes the rights of any Person or unlawfully contains hate speech, promotes or encourages violence or otherwise violates SkyKick policy in relation to the same which has been provided to the Customer; (d) access or use the SkyKick Platform in any way that violates the Agreement or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations; (e) modify, alter, tamper with, repair or otherwise create derivative works of any SkyKick software, technology, content or infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of SkyKick included in or used to provide the SkyKick Platform; (f) reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the SkyKick Platform or any software or technology of SkyKick included in or used to provide the Services; or (g) attempt to discover or recreate the SkyKick Platform or any software, technology or intellectual property of SkyKick for any purposes other than to perform Customer’s obligations under the Agreement.
6.7 Customer responsible for Third Party Products and Services. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at its sole cost and expense, hardware, equipment, software and services required to access or use any of the Partner Offering, the SkyKick Platform and any Provider Offering. Customer must obtain and maintain, and pay all charges, taxes and other costs and fees related to, internet access, telephone, computer, and other equipment, and any communications or other charges incurred by Customer to access and use the SkyKick Platform.
6.8 Customer Responsibility for Other Parties. Customer is responsible for any action that it permits, assists or facilitates any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, agents, or Users (each, a “Customer Party” and collectively, “Customer Parties”) to take related to the Agreement, the Order Data, Customer Data, the use of any Partner Offerings, or the use of the SkyKick Platform. Customer will ensure that all Customer Parties comply with Customer’s obligations under the Agreement.
6.9 Customer Notification of Unauthorized Use. In the event that Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use by any third party that obtained access to the SkyKick Platform directly or indirectly through Customer, Customer will promptly notify SkyKick through the Partner Australia or via email to support@skykick.com, take all steps necessary to terminate such unauthorized use and will provide SkyKick such cooperation and assistance as reasonably requested by SkyKick or the Partner Australia in connection with SkyKick’ actions to stop or prevent unauthorized use of the SkyKick Platform.
6.10 Limited Use by Customer of the SkyKick Platform. Customer’s access to the SkyKick Platform shall be limited to the purpose of using and receiving the Services for Customer’s internal use.

Customer is responsible for all activities of Customer and Users that occur in connection with the Account Credentials.
6.12 Customer responsible for own costs for Downtime. GIVEN SKYKICK’S RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS SUCH AS TELECOMMUNICATIONS OPERATORS AND OTHERS OUTSIDE OF SKYKICK’S CONTROL AND GIVEN THE NEED FOR ONGOING MAINTENANCE, CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH INDUSTRY PRACTICE, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ACCESS TO THE SKYKICK PLATFORM MAY BE AT TIMES LIMITED, OR THE SKYKICK PLATFORM MAY BE AT TIMES UNAVAILABLE, FOR THE DURATION OF ANY SCHEDULED OR EMERGENCY DOWNTIME, OR DUE TO OTHER CAUSES OUTSIDE OF THE REASONABLE CONTROL OF SKYKICK, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF POWER OUTAGES, SYSTEM FAILURES, MAINTENANCE, UPGRADES OR OTHER INTERRUPTION, WHETHER AFFECTING SKYKICK, THE PARTNER AUSTRALIA OR A PROVIDER.

7. SkyKick Suspension or Termination of Access.
SkyKick may, acting reasonably, limit, suspend or terminate access to the SkyKick Platform or Services in the following circumstances: (a) SkyKick reasonably determines that the SkyKick Platform is being used by Partner Australia on Customer’s behalf or Customer or Users in violation of applicable federal, state or local law or regulations, the Agreement, or any SkyKick policy provided in advance by SkyKick to Customer relevant to the same; (b) SkyKick reasonably determines that the SkyKick Platform is being used by any of them in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner or that Customer (or the Partner Australia on Customer’s behalf) has submitted fraudulent or material inaccurate information to SkyKick, a Provider or the Partner Australia; (c) SkyKick reasonably determines that Customer’s use of the SkyKick Platform (or the Partner Australia’s use on Customer’s behalf) adversely and materially affects SkyKick’s equipment or service to others; (d) SkyKick is prohibited by an order of a court or other governmental agency from providing the Services; (e) of a denial of service attack or any other event which SkyKick reasonably determines may create a risk to the Services, the SkyKick Platform, to Customer or to Partner Australia, Customers, Users or any other customers; (f) of a security incident or imminent security risk or threat that impacts the Services or SkyKick Platform, or the security of Order Data or Customer Data; or (g) the Partner Australia’s failure to pay SkyKick any Fees applicable to Customer’s use of the SkyKick Platform, provided that in such event SkyKick will notify Customer and offer to continue providing the Services to Customer if Customer pays the outstanding and any ongoing Fees payable by the relevant Partner Australia to SkyKick.

11.2 Indemnity Process.

In the event that SkyKick reasonably determines that Customer has failed to promptly investigate or rigorously defend any claim for which Customer has an obligation to indemnify and SkyKick is not the cause of such failure, SkyKick may defend and settle such claim at Customer’s cost and expense where Customer’s failure to defend any such claim has actual or threatened detrimental effects on SkyKick.

12.1 Term. The Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue in effect as set forth in the applicable Order (the “Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

13. General Provisions.
13.1 Entire Agreement. Except where expressly agreed otherwise in writing between the Parties, the Agreement and any other terms and conditions referenced in this Agreement and provided to and agreed by Customer in accordance with the Agreement (collectively, “Additional Policies”) are the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, superseding all other agreements between them, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter hereof.
13.2 Governing Law; Venue; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. As SkyKick is an international company doing business in multiple jurisdictions, it has a legitimate business interest in not dealing with claims in multiple countries with different substantive and procedural laws. Accordingly, except where this would not be reasonably necessary to protect such interests, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FILED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyKick has the right, at its sole discretion, to bring any claim against the Customer in the court of the Partner Australia’s or Customer’s place of establishment. SkyKick has an additional right to bring any claim against the Customer in the court of the Partner Australia’s or Customer’s place of establishment where it is not reasonably practicable for SkyKick to bring such claim in the State of Washington or where SkyKick requires urgent or injunctive relief against Customer. Customer agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for SkyKick for breach or threatened breach of SkyKick’s Intellectual Property Rights or SkyKick’s Confidential Information and SkyKick is entitled to seek preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting Customer from taking actions in breach of such) and specific performance. The Parties agree that there are no uniform contracting rules (as set out in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the United States of America’s Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA)) applying to the Agreement.
13.3 Assignment. Neither the Agreement nor any right or duty under the Agreement may be transferred, assigned or delegated by Customer, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of SkyKick (not to be unreasonably withheld), and any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect. SkyKick may assign or novate the Agreement and any right or duty under the Agreement to an affiliate or other Person including by operation of law, change of control, merger, reorganization, or sale of stock or all or substantially all of SkyKick’s assets on prior notice of Customer provided that the Person to whom it is assigned agrees to perform all obligations under the Agreement and has sufficient financial capacity to perform its obligations under the Agreement (in which case Customer must undertake all actions SkyKick reasonably requests to effect that assignment or novation, including signing any required documentation. The Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
13.4 Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will, for any purpose, be or be deemed to be an employee, representative, owner, franchisee or partner of the other Party and, the relationship between the Parties will only be that of independent contractors. Neither Party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other Party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
13.5 References. Neither Party may disclose the specific terms of the Agreement or issue a public statement or press release regarding the Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party. SkyKick may during the Term identify Customer as a customer or user of the Services and display Customer’s logo and/or other branding materials on SkyKick’s website and other marketing materials.
13.6 Nonwaiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of the Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under the Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance rather, the same will remain in full force and effect.
13.7 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of the Agreement will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon any determination that a provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated under the Agreement are fulfilled.
13.8 Notice. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, any notice, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of the Agreement will be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes if: (a) delivered personally; (b) deposited with a pre-paid messenger, express or air courier or similar courier; or (c) transmitted by email or other communication equipment that transmits the notice to like equipment that receives and reproduces such notice. Notices will be addressed to a Party (or, in the case of Customer, to the Partner Australia) at the address or email address as set forth in an applicable Order. Notices will be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, upon receipt, (ii) in the case of messenger, express or air courier or similar courier, two days after being deposited, and (iii) in the case of email or other communication equipment, the day of receipt as evidenced by an email or similar communication equipment confirmation statement. A Party may change its contact information by notice in accordance with this Section 13.8.
13.9 Force Majeure. Except for any payment obligations under the Agreement, in the event that a Party is delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations under the Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, its performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform to the extent only due to such occurrence. The delayed Party will endeavour to (a) provide the other Party (directly or via the Partner Australia) with prompt notice of the nature and expected duration of the event, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to address and mitigate the cause and effect of such event, (c) provide periodic notice of relevant developments, and (d) provide notice of the end of such event.
13.10 Modifications to the SkyKick Customer Terms & Conditions Australia and other changes. Except for the types of changes set out in this Section 13.10 or Section 6.5 (Customer agreement to SkyKick changes to Services during the Term), the Agreement may only be varied by written agreement. Customer acknowledges that SkyKick’s provision of the Services, the rates for Fees for the Services, the Services and the terms of the Agreement are subject to changes in the industry (such as industry best practices or new technology and processes), changes in applicable law (including applicable industry codes, rules, standards and regulations), SkyKick’s ordinary operations and processes (such as new services, products, functions and features) and the actions of third party suppliers and service providers engaged by SkyKick in connection with the Services and SkyKick may not have control or foreseeability of these matters. In addition to the changes that may be made by SkyKick in accordance with Section 6.5 (Customer agreement to SkyKick changes to Services during the Term), SKYKICK MAY CHANGE THESE SKYKICK CUSTOMER TERMS & CONDITIONS AUSTRALIA, THE SERVICES, THE SKYKICK PLATFORM, THE SKYKICK POLICIES, THE RATES FOR FEES AND SKYKICK’S OPERATIONS AND PROCESSES, OTHER SERVICES, PRODUCTS, FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES OR THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ENGAGED BY SKYKICK IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. When making such changes, SkyKick will act reasonably, including giving Customer reasonable advance notice of the changes to the extent it is reasonably practicable to do so. SkyKick may give Customer shorter advance notice (or no notice) of a change if it is reasonable in order for SkyKick to manage a material and immediate risk or issue. SkyKick may modify, limit, suspend or cancel the relevant Services to the extent it is reasonably necessary to protect its legitimate business interests and will give Customer as much notice as reasonably practicable in the circumstances. For changes where SkyKick decide, or are required, to exit a Service from the market (or part of the market), SkyKick will give Customer prior reasonable notice and inform Customer of the potential impacts and may cancel the Service Customer acknowledges and agrees that SkyKick may provide its notices of changes under this Section by notifying in writing or posting the details on the SkyKick Site. Customer may accept such change through the SkyKick provided mechanism for the acceptance such as a click-through confirmation or acceptance button. BY CONTINUING TO USE OR RECEIVE THE SERVICES AFTER SUCH EFFECTIVE DATE, CUSTOMER IS BOUND BY SUCH CHANGES. CUSTOMER AGREES TO CHECK THE SKYKICK SITE REGULARLY FOR CHANGES. If Customer disagrees with such modifications before the effective date, Customer may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12 of these SkyKick Customer Terms & Conditions Australia.
13.11 Audit. During the Term, SkyKick will have the right to audit the records of Customer relating to Customer’s use of the Services to ensure that Customer is compliant with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the calculation of Fees.
13.12 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of the Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Agreement or at law. The election of any one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other remedies.
13.13 GST. Unless expressed to the contrary in the Agreement, all prices and amounts (including any monetary or non-monetary consideration required to be provided under this agreement) are exclusive of GST. If GST is payable in respect of a supply made under or in relation to this agreement, the recipient must pay to the supplier an amount (“GST Amount”) equal to the GST payable on the supply. The GST Amount is payable by the recipient in addition to and at the same time as any consideration for the supply, provided the supplier has given the recipient a tax invoice. Without limiting the prior sentence, if a party (“payer”) is required to reimburse another party (“payee”) for a cost (eg, if the payer is obliged to pay the payee’s legal costs), or a payer is obliged to make a payment to a payee under an indemnity, the reimbursement or indemnity is for the payee’s cost inclusive of GST but excludes any GST component of the cost for which the payee is entitled to claim an input tax credit. If an adjustment event arises in respect of a taxable supply, the GST Amount payable by a recipient will be recalculated to reflect the adjustment event and a payment will be made by the recipient to the supplier, or by the supplier to the recipient, as the case requires. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, (a) terms used in this Section 13.13 have the meanings given to those terms by the GST Act; (b) a reference to a liability of a Party to pay GST or an entitlement of a Party to input tax credits includes a reference to GST payable by, or an input tax credit entitlement of, the representative member of a GST group to which that party is a member; (c) where required to give practical effect to this Section 13.13, a recipient includes any Party to the Agreement that is required to provide consideration and a supplier includes any party to whom consideration must be provided (even if there is never any supply); (d) any part of a supply that is treated as a separate supply for GST purposes (including attributing GST payable to tax periods) is treated as if it were a separate supply; and (e) this Section 13.13 is subject to any other specific agreement regarding the payment of GST on supplies. “GST” has the meaning given by section 195-1 of the GST Act or any replacement or other relevant legislation and regulations. “GST Act” means A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (as amended).
