    1. Unless otherwise stated, terms have the same meaning as in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (GST Act) and:
      1. the term 'consideration' takes its ordinary meaning, rather than its defined meaning in the GST Act; and
      2. if a supply is treated as a periodic or progressive supply under the GST Act, each periodic or progressive component of the supply will be treated as if it is a separate supply.
    2. Unless otherwise stated, all consideration to be paid or provided under this agreement is expressed exclusive of GST.
    3. If GST applies to a supply made under this agreement, for consideration that is not stated to include GST, the recipient must pay to the supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on the supply (GST Amount).  The GST Amount is payable at the same time that the first part of the consideration for the supply is to be provided. 
    4. Notwithstanding any other provision, the recipient need not pay the GST Amount until it has received from the supplier a tax invoice or adjustment note (as the case may be).
    5. If an adjustment event applies, the supplier must adjust the GST Amount to reflect the adjustment event and a payment must be made by the supplier to the recipient, or by the recipient to the supplier, as the case may be.
    6. If a party is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified for a cost or expense under this agreement, the amount to be reimbursed must be reduced to the extent that the party (or the representative member for a GST group of which that party is a member) is entitled to an input tax credit for the cost or expense.
    7. Unless otherwise stated, if an amount payable under this agreement is to be calculated by reference to (i) the consideration to be received for a supply, or (ii) the consideration to be provided for an acquisition, then, for the purposes of that calculation, the consideration is to be reduced to the extent that it includes any amount on account of GST (regardless of whether the amount is separately identified or included as part of the consideration).
    8. Except where this agreement provides otherwise, all amounts payable under this agreement are exclusive of any other taxes or duties which may apply to the services or the Incidental Items.  The Customer must pay an additional amount equal to such other taxes and duties upon their being invoiced to the Customer in the manner required by such invoice.
    9. This clause 12 will survive the termination of this agreement.
  4. MISCELLANEOUS
    1. Unless this agreement expressly provides otherwise, a party may give or withhold an approval or consent in their absolute discretion and subject to any conditions determined by them. 
    2. The Customer must not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this agreement, or attempt to do so, without the prior written consent of Waterlogic.
    3. Waterlogic may assign or transfer or sub-contract any of its rights or obligations under this agreement, without the prior written consent of the Customer (including Waterlogic assigning, transferring or otherwise dealing with its interest in any part of the Goods).
    4. Except as otherwise set out in this agreement, each party must pay its own costs and expenses for preparing, negotiating, executing and completing this agreement and any document related to this agreement.
    5. This agreement contains everything the parties have agreed in relation to the subject matter it deals with.  No party can rely on an earlier written document or anything said or done by or on behalf of another party before this agreement was executed.  No variation of this agreement will be of any force or effect unless it is in writing and signed by each party to this agreement.
    6. This agreement is governed by the law of the State of Victoria.  The parties submit to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of its courts and courts of appeal from them.  The parties will not object to the exercise of jurisdiction by those courts on any basis.
    7. Each provision of this agreement is individually severable.  If any provision is or becomes illegal, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction it is to be treated as being severed from this agreement in the relevant jurisdiction, but the rest of this agreement will not be affected.  The legality, validity and enforceability of the provision in any other jurisdiction will not be affected.
    8. A waiver of any right, power or remedy under this agreement must be in writing signed by the party granting it.  A waiver only affects the particular obligation or breach for which it is given.  It is not an implied waiver of any other obligation or breach or an implied waiver of that obligation or breach on any other occasion.  The fact that a party fails to do, or delays in doing, something the party is entitled to do under this agreement does not amount to a waiver.
    9. A party may exercise a right, power or remedy at its discretion, and separately or concurrently with another right, power or remedy. A single or partial exercise of a right, power or remedy by a party does not prevent a further exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy and failure by a party to exercise, or delay by a party in exercising a right, power or remedy does not prevent its exercise.  Except where expressly stated to the contrary in this agreement, the rights of a party under this agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights available to that party whether those rights are provided for under this agreement or by law.
    10. The failure by Waterlogic to enforce any provision of this agreement shall not be treated as a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect Waterlogic's right to subsequently enforce that provision. If any provision of this agreement shall be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable the validity, existence, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, prejudiced or impaired.
    11. Neither party shall be liable for any default due to any act of God, war, terrorism, strike, lock-out, industrial action, fire, flood, storm or other event beyond the reasonable control of either party.
    12. UNPAID SELLER'S RIGHTS: Where the Customer has left any item with Waterlogic for repair, modification, exchange or for Waterlogic to perform any other service in relation to the item and Waterlogic has not received or been tendered the whole of any moneys owing to it by the Customer, Waterlogic shall have, until all moneys owing to Waterlogic are paid:
      1. a lien on the item; and
      2. the right to retain or sell the item, such sale to be undertaken in accordance with any legislation applicable to the sale or disposal of uncollected goods. The lien of Waterlogic shall continue despite the commencement of proceedings, or judgement for any moneys owing to Waterlogic having been obtained against the Customer.
    13. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:

          • to cancel your service contract with us; and

          • to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.

          You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
