(ii) Supplier becomes insolvent, is placed into administration, receivership or liquidation, commences proceedings to be wound up, enters into any voluntary arrangement with its creditors, or on the happening of any similar event according to the laws of its domicile; or
(iii) Supplier undergoes any change in its ownership or disposes of all or a substantial part of its business or assets (other than for the purposes of a legitimate reorganisation) without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (acknowledging that it would be reasonable for Buyer to withhold such consent if it does not receive adequate evidence of Supplier’s ability to continue to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order).

(D) Upon receipt of any termination notice, Supplier shall discontinue the provision of the Services and/or supply of the Goods (in accordance with the termination notice) on the date stated in such notice.

In addition, Buyer will reimburse those reasonable expenses of Supplier which were approved in advance by Buyer and which were properly incurred prior to termination. Buyer will not be liable for any other costs, expenses, damages or claims of any sort resulting from termination of the Purchase Order, including any indirect damages or consequential loss or for (whether direct or indirect) pure economic loss, loss of profits and loss of business or loss of savings, howsoever caused.

(i) terminate promptly all work under a Purchase Order;
(ii) transfer title and deliver to Buyer the finished work, finished Goods, the work in process, unfinished Goods, finished and/or draft Deliverables, and the materials which Supplier produced or acquired in accordance with a Purchase Order, and which Buyer agrees to acquire pursuant to clause 15(E);
(iii) verify/settle all claims by sub-contractors for actual costs that are rendered unrecoverable by such termination and provided the recovery of materials in Supplier's possession or control is ensured;
(iv) take actions reasonably necessary to protect property in Supplier's possession or control in which Buyer has an interest until disposal instruction from Buyer has been received; and/or
(v) upon Buyer's reasonable request, cooperate with Buyer in effecting orderly resourcing of the Goods and/or Services (as applicable) to a different supplier whilst minimising any disruption to Buyer's business.

(H) Termination of the Purchase Order, however arising, shall not affect Buyer's or Supplier's rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities that have accrued up to termination.

16. FORCE MAJEURE

(A) Neither Buyer nor Supplier shall be deemed to be in breach of a Purchase Order for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Purchase Order due to a Force Majeure event.

(B) If Buyer's or Supplier's performance of its obligations under the Purchase Order is affected by a Force Majeure event, then:
(i) it shall give written notice to the other, specifying the nature and extent of the Force Majeure event, within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of the Force Majeure event and will at all times use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate the severity of the Force Majeure event;

(iii) it shall not be entitled to payment from the other in respect of extra costs and expenses incurred by virtue of the Force Majeure event.

(C) If an event of Force Majeure causes Supplier to be unable materially to comply with any of its obligations under the Purchase Order, Supplier shall, at its own cost, take such steps as to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure event and Supplier and Buyer shall agree such terms as are appropriate for the continued performance of the Services and/or supply of the Goods (as applicable). If no such terms are agreed within five (5) Business Days of the commencement of the event of Force Majeure (or such longer period as Buyer and Supplier may agree in writing), Buyer may, by giving written notice to Supplier, forthwith terminate the Purchase Order.

17. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

(A) Supplier shall indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees, in full against all losses, liability, damages, costs, claims and all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expert fees, arising directly out of Supplier’s performance of the Services and/or supply of the Goods (or lack thereof) or from Supplier's breach of the terms of the Purchase Order (including these terms and conditions), including claims, actions or legal proceedings alleging:(i) death, personal injury or property damage; or
(ii) any design or defect within the content of the Deliverables; or

(B) Neither Supplier nor Buyer shall be liable to the other for any indirect losses arising out of its breach of the terms of the Purchase Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing under the terms of the Purchase Order shall exclude Buyer or Supplier's liability for: (i) death or personal injury arising from its negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) any other losses which may not be excluded by law.

(C) Upon receipt of a written request from Buyer, Supplier shall, at its sole expense, provide Buyer with reasonable access to documents, records and witnesses in connection with Buyer’s defence and resolution and resolution of any claim, action or legal proceedings referred to in clause 17(A) above.

(D) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, require Supplier to defend and resolve any claim, action or legal proceedings referred to in clause 17(A) above. In the event that Buyer so requires, Supplier shall absorb all loss, liability, damages, costs and all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expert fees, in connection with such defence.

(E) Supplier shall at all times insure and keep itself adequately insured with a reputable insurance company against all insurable liability in connection with the Goods and Services and, in particular, against all its liabilities under the Purchase Order and against the consequences of any act or default of Supplier's, Supplier’s Affiliates and sub-contractors’ employees whilst on the premises of Buyer (or Buyer's Affiliate) and shall, on request, provide Buyer with such evidence of insurance as Buyer may reasonably require. Supplier shall provide all reasonably practicable assistance required by Buyer or its insurers for the purposes of contesting or dealing with any action, claim or matter arising out of Supplier’s performance of the Purchase Order or failure to perform. Without prejudice to Supplier's other obligations in this clause 17, Supplier shall arrange Public Liability insurance with reputable insurers, in its own name against the risk assumed under this clause 17 to a value of not less than £5,000,000 per incident.

(F) Supplier shall co-operate as far as reasonably practicable with Buyer and its Affiliates in defending any actions or claims brought against Buyer or its Affiliates.

(G) Without prejudice to clause 17(E), Supplier shall arrange suitable and adequate professional indemnity insurance and product liability insurance in its own name and it shall maintain such insurance cover with internationally recognised reputable insurers and such insurance cover shall include defending litigation outside its local jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, within the United States of America).

(H) Neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall be liable for any costs, loss or damage, liabilities, injuries, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business and like loss) to property or stock of Supplier howsoever caused. Further, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be responsible for death, injury or illness which may be sustained by any employee, agent, sub-contractor, invitee or licensee of Supplier or for any loss, damage or destruction to the property of any such employee, agent, sub-contractor, invitee or licensee or operations of Supplier unless directly due to the negligent act or wilful default of Buyer or its Affiliates.

18. RIGHT OF SET-OFF

Supplier agrees that all its accounts with Buyer will be administered on a net settlement basis and that Buyer may set off and recoup debits and credits, including Buyer's attorney fees and costs of enforcement, against any of Supplier's accounts regardless of the basis for such debits or credits and without additional notice. In this clause 18 "Buyer" includes Buyer's Affiliates, and "Supplier" includes Supplier's Affiliates.

19. WAIVER AND REMEDIES

No delay or omission by Buyer or Supplier in exercising the right or power it has pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Order shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Purchase Order (including these terms and conditions) shall constitute a waiver of any other breach of such or any other provision. Remedies available to Buyer or Supplier in relation to the Purchase Order shall be cumulative and additional to any other or further remedies implied or available at law, in equity or contained in these terms and conditions.

20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

(A) Subject to clause 20(B) below, the Purchase Order, these terms and conditions, any Buyer Supplemental Terms and Conditions or Web-Guides, any Specification, any Statement of Work, and any documents referred to on the Purchase Order set forth the entire and only agreement and understanding between Buyer and Supplier relating to the supply of the Goods and provision of the Services as detailed in the Purchase Order and, save in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation, supersedes all negotiations, commitments and representations made prior to the date of acceptance of the Purchase Order.

(B) Despite clause 20(A) above, Buyer and Supplier may separately specifically agree in writing to particular terms and conditions governing or relating to the supply of the Goods and/or the provision of the Services by Seller to Buyer and, if such agreement is properly executed by the parties in writing, such terms and conditions shall supersede the Purchase Order, these terms and conditions, any Buyer Supplemental Terms and Conditions or Web-Guides, any Specification, any Statement of Work, and any documents referred to on the Purchase Order.  This clause does not operate to give priority to any Seller terms and conditions in whatever form including forming part or described in a document between the parties which post-dates this document and notwithstanding that such terms may be expressed to override this document.

21. ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-CONTRACTING

(A) The rights and obligations under the Purchase Order or the Purchase Order itself, either in whole or in part, shall not be assigned or transferred by Supplier without the prior written consent of Buyer.
(B) Where Supplier sub-contracts the provision of the Goods (or part thereof) pursuant to clause 3(C) or becomes entitled to sub-contract the provision of the Services in accordance with clause 3(D), Supplier shall, before engaging any sub-contractors, enter into confidentiality obligations with such sub-contractors which are not less strict that as imposed on Supplier under these terms and conditions (which Supplier shall, at Buyer's request, diligently enforce at Supplier's expense). Where Supplier engages sub-contractors, Supplier shall remain fully responsible and liable for the supply of the Goods and Services and the acts and omission of its sub-contractors.

22. NO PARTNERSHIP

Nothing contained in the Purchase Order, and no action taken by Buyer or Supplier pursuant to the Purchase Order, will be deemed to constitute a relationship between Buyer or Supplier of partnership, joint venture, principal and agent or employer and employee. Neither Buyer nor Supplier has, nor may it represent that it has, any authority to act or make any commitments on the other’s behalf.

23. BASIC WORKING CONDITIONS AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS

(A) When Supplier supplies the Goods and provides the Services Supplier will not: (i) use forced labour, regardless of its form; (ii) employ any person below the age of 15, unless it is part of a government approved job training apprenticeship or other program that would be clearly beneficial to its participants; or (iii) engage in physically abusive disciplinary practices.

(C) Buyer has adopted a Code of Basic Working Conditions that includes the requirements of clause 23(A) and other work-place practices. The Code applies to all of Buyer's operations. The Code can be found via Buyer's Social Responsibility Web-Guide or by contacting Buyer directly. Supplier is encouraged to adopt and enforce a similar code of practice and to have its sub-contractors do so.

(D) Buyer may retain an independent third party, or request Supplier to retain one reasonably acceptable to Buyer, to: (i) audit Supplier's compliance with the requirements of this clause 23; and (ii) provide Supplier and Buyer with written certification of Supplier's compliance, including areas for potential improvement.

(E) Supplier will bear the cost of any third-party audit and certification, regardless of which party retained the auditor. Buyer, at its sole option, may accept an audit or certification by Supplier in lieu of a third-party certification.

(B) Supplier shall ensure that any person associated with the Supplier (including any subcontractor) who is performing services or providing goods, software, data, information or other materials in connection with the Purchase Order does so only in compliance with the Relevant Requirements and the Relevant Policies (together the “Relevant Terms”). Supplier shall be responsible for the observance and performance of the Relevant Terms by such persons and shall be directly liable to Buyer for any breach by such persons of any of the Relevant Terms.

25. SEVERABILITY

If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or condition to be unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part, such finding shall not affect the validity of the other provisions or the remainder of the provision in question. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of the Purchase Order would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

26. PUBLICITY

If Supplier wishes to publicly disclose the existence of its relationship with Buyer in relation to the provision of the Goods and/or Service then Supplier shall not do so without the express prior written consent of Buyer to the form and manner of each such disclosure. Where Buyer has given such consent then Buyer, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withdraw such consent at any time upon notice to Supplier.

27. SURVIVAL

Any terms and conditions above relating to warranties, indemnification, Intellectual Property Rights, infringement, confidentiality, assignment, governing law and dispute resolution shall survive the expiration or termination of the Purchase Order for any reason whatsoever.

(A) Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer, Buyer's Affiliates may, at its/their own option, benefit from the Goods and Services and rely on the Deliverables provided by Supplier.

(B) Save as in respect of Buyer's Affiliates, Buyer and Supplier do not intend that any term of the Purchase Order should be enforceable by any person other than Buyer and Supplier.

Where permitted by law, Supplier waives any lien that Supplier might otherwise have on any of Buyer's property for work done thereon or otherwise. Supplier will assign to Buyer any claims Supplier has against third parties with respect to Buyer's property. Upon request, Supplier immediately will make such property available for collection by Buyer (or its representatives) and, at Buyer's request, Supplier shall load such property onto vehicles used by Buyer's carrier to transport such property. Supplier will cooperate with Buyer's collection of the property from Supplier's premises.

(B) In the event that the representatives of Buyer and Supplier fail to resolve any dispute within 10 Business Days of either Buyer or Supplier serving a notice in writing to the other that a matter is in dispute (a "Dispute Notice"), the matter shall be escalated within a further 5 Business Days to the relevant director of Buyer and of Supplier or anyone directly delegated by those individuals to resolve matters.

(C) If the negotiations referred to in clause 31(B) above should fail to resolve the dispute within 28 days of service of the Dispute Notice, then either Buyer or Supplier may seek legal redress through the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

(D) In the event of Buyer and Supplier entering into the dispute resolution procedure then, unless Buyer or Supplier agree otherwise in writing, in no circumstances should the provision of the Goods and Services be interrupted or delayed by the dispute.
