    2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, except as expressly provided in these terms, the software is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without express or implied warranties, guarantees or conditions of any kind.
    3. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you for any losses, damages, costs or claims arising out of these terms, the software, or your use of or inability to use the software, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise.

You agree that it is fair and reasonable that the parties are bound by this clause.

  13. Governing law
    These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand to deal with any dispute, litigation or other matter relating to these terms or the software. You must not object to the transfer of any proceedings to New Zealand courts on any basis, including inconvenience.

  14. General
    1. If any provision of these terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be read down to the minimum extent necessary so that it is legal, valid and enforceable whilst preserving the original intent (or, if such reading down is not possible, that provision will be deleted). Other provisions of these terms will continue to apply with full force and effect.
    2. Any reference in these terms to “including” and similar expressions are not used as, nor are they intended to be, interpreted as words of limitation.
    3. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us about the software and supersede any prior agreement or understandings between you and us and any prior representation or warranty given or made by you or us.
    4. We will only have waived a right or remedy under these terms if we have signed a written waiver. Any failure or delay by us in exercising a right or remedy under these terms or at law is not a waiver and will not prevent our further exercise of that, or of any other, right or remedy.
