5.4 Survival

Clauses dealing with confidentiality, IP, indemnities, limitations of liability and dispute resolution survive termination.

6. Confidentiality

Each party will hold in strict confidence the other party's Confidential Information and use it solely to perform or exercise rights under these Terms.

This clause sets out the entire financial liability of the parties (including for the acts or omissions of their Personnel) for any breach of these Terms, any use of the Services, or any representation, statement or tortious act or omission arising under or in connection with these Terms.

As far as the law permits, all liability for any injury, loss, damage, cost or expense arising from these Terms (other than from grossly negligent acts or omissions) is excluded, and all warranties, representations, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for any Consequential Loss.

7.4 Australian Consumer Law

If the Australian Consumer Law applies, SearchX acknowledges that its 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. If a failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have it rectified in a reasonable time. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.

8. Privacy

SearchX will comply with its Privacy Policy and all applicable Privacy Legislation in performing the Services.

You warrant that you have all necessary consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer to SearchX of your personal information.

SearchX will notify you without undue delay of any security incident affecting our systems that could affect you, and will respond to your queries about any such incident.

Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform their obligations to the extent caused by a Force Majeure Event. If the event continues for 60 consecutive days, either party may terminate by written notice.

10. Dispute Resolution

Disputes must first be the subject of a Dispute Notice and a 14-day good-faith negotiation period, and then mediation in Brisbane, Queensland (with a mediator nominated by the President of the Law Society of Queensland if the parties cannot agree). Nothing in this clause prevents a party from seeking urgent interlocutory relief.

11. General

These Terms are governed by Queensland law, and each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Queensland courts. These Terms supersede all previous agreements about their subject matter. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. These Terms do not create a relationship of employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the parties. Any clause that is illegal or unenforceable may be severed. You must not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign or subcontract our rights and obligations (in whole or in part) without consent, including to or via our Platform Partner.
