The Supplier will maintain a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy to enable it to ensure that it can continue to provide access to the Site and the Services during the Term if an event occurs which disrupts or prevents the Customer accessing the Site and using the Services. If the Data Centre is out of commission the Supplier will implement its Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that implementation of the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy is dependent on the cooperation of the Data Centre and other third party service providers and is designed to minimise rather than eliminate the impact of an event which disrupts or prevents the Customer accessing the Site and using the Services.

The Supplier is not responsible for the information that the Customer uploads or enters onto the Site or that the Customer creates using functionality available on the Site. Without limiting the generality of this responsibility and clause 8.4, the Customer warrants to the Supplier that the Customer will not upload data (or permit any data to be uploaded) to the Site unless it is the owner of that data or has the authority to upload the data. In any event the Customer (and not the Supplier) is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) in respect of such uploaded data.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Site, the contents of the Site, the Documentation and any other information or materials that are supplied by the Supplier to the Customer during the Customer's use of the Services remain the exclusive property of the Supplier or its third party licensors.

The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that all Customer Data is owned by the Customer and is to be treated by the Supplier as Confidential Information of the Customer.

Any fees specified as part of Agreement are expressed on a GST exclusive basis unless otherwise expressly stated.

Supplier will debit funds from customer's account based on selected plan amount.

If the Customer asserts that the Supplier's invoice is incorrect it must notify the Supplier within five days of the invoice date and provide the Supplier with details of the error or omission. The Customer may withhold payment of any invoice which has been disputed by it in good faith provided that the balance of the invoice is paid in accordance with this Agreement.

If an invoiced amount is not paid by the Customer by the due date for payment the outstanding amount accrues interest from the date of invoice to the date payment is received at the rate of 12% per annum. Overdue payments and accrued interest are payable on demand.
