8.3. Subject to clause 14, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, corruption or destruction of Customer Data, or for any unauthorised access to or disclosure of Customer Data, however caused, including where it results from a security incident, malicious or criminal activity by a third party, or any failure of third-party hosting or infrastructure. We are also not liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or any third party arising from such an event, including any loss of revenue, profit, business, goodwill, data or opportunity.
8.4. You are responsible for maintaining your own current backups of Customer Data, and for implementing data-protection and business-continuity measures appropriate to your business. We strongly recommend that you maintain backups independently of the Services.
9. Service Availability, Maintenance and Support
9.1. We aim to make the Services available [target availability, e.g. 99.5%] during each calendar month, but we do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
9.2. We may carry out scheduled maintenance, and will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and to schedule it outside peak hours where practicable. We may also carry out emergency maintenance without notice.

You acknowledge that the Services depend on third-party cloud infrastructure and the internet, which are outside our control, and that no online service can be guaranteed to be continuously available.
9.5. Because your business may be time- and operationally sensitive, you are responsible for maintaining your own contingency and business-continuity arrangements so that you can continue to operate during any period in which the Services are unavailable.
10. Fees and Payment
10.1. You agree to pay all Fees associated with your subscription plan.
10.2. Fees are billed [monthly/annually] in advance and, unless cancelled in accordance with clause 11, your subscription automatically renews for successive periods equal to your then-current Subscription Term.
10.3. Unless stated otherwise, all Fees are [exclusive / inclusive] of GST. Where GST applies, you must pay the GST-inclusive amount, and we will provide a valid tax invoice.
10.4. If any Fees are overdue, we may, after giving you notice, suspend the Services in accordance with clause 12 and charge reasonable interest or recovery costs on overdue amounts.
10.5. We may change the Fees. We will give you at least [30] days’ written notice before a Fee change takes effect. If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel your subscription, effective from the end of your current paid period, before the change takes effect. Continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
10.6. Except as required by the ACL or other applicable law (see clause 14), Fees are non-refundable.
11. Subscription Term, Renewal and Cancellation
11.1. Your subscription continues for the Subscription Term and renews automatically as set out in clause 10.2.
11.2. You may cancel renewal at any time through [your account settings / by contacting us], with the cancellation taking effect at the end of your current paid period. You will retain access for the remainder of that period.
11.3. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund of Fees already paid, except as required by law.
12. Suspension
12.1. We may suspend your access to all or part of the Services if:
(a) you fail to pay Fees when due and the failure continues after notice;
(b) we reasonably believe your use poses a security, legal or operational risk to us, the Services or other customers; or
(c) you materially breach this Agreement.
12.2. We will use reasonable efforts to give you notice before suspension and to limit the suspension to what is reasonably necessary. Suspension does not relieve you of your obligation to pay Fees.
13. Term and Termination
13.1. This Agreement remains in effect until terminated in accordance with its terms.
13.2. Either party may terminate this Agreement:
(a) for convenience, by giving the other party [30] days’ written notice; or

14.2. Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any Non-Excludable Right.
14.3. To the extent the Services come with a Non-Excludable Right, and to the extent the law permits us to limit our liability for a failure to comply with that right, our liability for such failure is limited, at our option, to:
(a) in the case of services, re-supplying the Services or paying the cost of having the Services re-supplied; and
(b) in the case of goods, replacing or repairing the goods or paying the cost of replacement or repair.
14.4. Clauses 15 and 16 apply subject to this clause 14.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
15.1. Subject to clause 14, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, and we exclude all warranties, representations, guarantees and conditions, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
15.2. We do not warrant that the Services will meet your requirements, operate without interruption or error, or that defects will be corrected.
16. Limitation of Liability
16.1. Subject to clause 14, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:
(a) we are not liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary loss or damage, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings or opportunity, or for any loss, corruption or unavailability of data, however arising and whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or otherwise, even if we were advised of the possibility of such loss; and
(b) our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services, however arising, is limited to the total amount of Fees paid by you to us for the Services in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the first event giving rise to the liability.

16.4. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by third-party services, internet or telecommunications failures, or any event described in clause 20 (Force Majeure).

(a) any loss, corruption, destruction, or unauthorised access to or disclosure of Customer Data, and any loss or damage to your business arising from it (see clause 8); and
(b) any unavailability, interruption or downtime of the Services, and any loss or damage to your business arising from it, including any lost revenue during a period of unavailability (see clause 9).
16.6. You acknowledge that your business may be highly operational and revenue-sensitive, that you have had the opportunity to assess the risks of relying on a cloud-based service supplied over the internet, and that the allocation of risk in this Agreement — including the exclusions and the limitation of liability — is reasonable in the circumstances and is reflected in the Fees. You are responsible for arranging any insurance and contingency measures you consider appropriate for your business.
