19. General

19.1 Amendment FABA may, in its sole discretion, modify these Terms or include new or additional terms regarding the use of the Services and FABA's associated software and services. Such modifications or additions are incorporated into these Terms and will be effective immediately upon notice to you. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your agreement to be bound by the Terms, as amended. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you may terminate these Terms by providing written notice to FABA within 30 days of the date of notification of the change and any pre-paid unused portion of your Fees will be refunded.
19.2 Assignment You may not assign, sell, lend, sub-licence or otherwise deal with or transfer your rights to access and use the Services to another party without prior written permission from FABA. For clarity, if you are a company or trust, a Change of Control as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) constitutes an assignment under these Terms.
19.3 Benefit of Terms These Terms are made for the benefit of the parties only and are not intended for the benefit of any third party or to be enforceable by a third party. The rights of the parties to terminate, rescind, or agree to any amendment, waiver, variation, or settlement under or relating to these Terms are exclusive to each party and not subject to the consent of any third party.
19.4 Entire Agreement These Terms (and all other terms and conditions and policies that are incorporated by these Terms) make up the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior written and oral agreements, representations, undertakings and understandings. Where there is an inconsistency between these Terms and any additional terms, these Terms will prevail.
19.5 Force Majeure You agree that FABA will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms if such delay is due to any circumstance beyond its reasonable control. If FABA is delayed in performing its obligations due to such a circumstance for a period of at least one (1) month, FABA may terminate these Terms by providing five (5) business days' notice in writing.
19.6 Relationship of parties The parties are independent contractors and nothing in these Terms gives rise to any other relationship in partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or representative. Neither party shall have the right or power to create or assume any obligation or liability on behalf of the other party as a result of these Terms or any term, activity, right or obligation contemplated by these Terms.
19.7 Set-off You shall not be entitled to set off against or deduct from any amounts owed to FABA, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to you by FABA, nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute.
19.8 Severability If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any portion of these Terms to be unenforceable or ineffective, then that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties. If any portion of these Terms are severed on the basis of unenforceability or ineffectiveness as set out in this clause 19.8, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
19.9 Waiver A waiver by a party of a provision or a right under these terms is binding on the party granting the waiver only if it is given in writing and is effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.
19.10 Governing law and jurisdiction These Terms shall be governed by and will be construed in accordance with law of the State of New South Wales in Australia and without regard to conflict of law principles. The parties agree to submit without objection to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. The operation of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in respect of these Terms is expressly excluded in these Terms.
