1. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Contract (and without limiting that Contract) and subject to the Intellectual Property provisions in that Contract, ownership of physical products (such as but not limited to computers and related equipment) (referred to in these terms and conditions as ‘Tangible Products’) supplied to the Customer under a Contract for sale and purchase of those Tangible Products will not pass to the Customer until the Customer has paid for the Tangible Products in full and has paid in full any other amounts owing to the Supplier whether under that Contract or any other Contract.

4. If the Customer fails to pay for the Tangible Products by the due date(s) for payment, the Supplier may (without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have under the PPSA or any other relevant laws), subject to the Supplier having registered a security interest pursuant to clause 9.2 below, enter the Customer’s premises at any time and without notice take possession of the Tangible Products without incurring any liability to the Customer or any other person. The Customer is not permitted to revoke the permission granted to the Supplier in this clause.

3. after creating the Copy of Customer Data, delete the Customer Data from the Tangible Product;
4. Nothing in this clause operates to transfer ownership of Customer Data to the Supplier.

1. The Customer agrees that the retention of title in clause 8.1 creates a purchase money security interest (as defined by section 14 of PPSA) in the Tangible Products (and their proceeds) as security for the payment of the purchase price of the Tangible Goods under the relevant Contract, until the amount payable for those products is paid in full. The Customer grants to the Supplier a security interest in the Tangible Products (‘Secured Property’) as security for payment of all amounts payable for those products.
2. The Customer will promptly do all things, and execute all documents reasonably required by the Supplier to enable the Supplier to perfect and maintain the perfection of its security interest in respect of the Secured Property (as defined in clause 9.1).

Without limiting clause 11 or clause 12.2, the Supplier will only access the Customer Data and disclose the Customer Data to law enforcement or government authorities to the extent required by law. If a request for Customer Data is made by a law enforcement agency or government authority (whether directly to the Supplier or through Microsoft or a third party vendor), the Supplier will redirect the request to the Customer or if redirection is not permitted or feasible in the available time frame and unless legally prohibited from doing so, the Supplier will notify the Customer of the request as soon as practically possible.
4. The Customer warrants that the Customer has the right and authority to deal with the Customer Data in the manner contemplated by the relevant Contract.
5. Nothing in a Contract transfers ownership of the Customer Data to the Supplier.

2. Each party will comply with the applicable Data Protection Laws in respect of any breach of privacy.

3. The Supplier provides no warranty or guarantee:
1. that any result or objective not specified in an Associated Agreement can or will be achieved or attained through the provision of the Products, Deliverables and Services; or

4. Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify an applicable consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law.

1. a receiver, manager or liquidator is appointed over the party’s undertaking or assets or the party enters into any assignment, composition or arrangement with its creditors; or
2. the party is unable to pay its debts when due or is deemed unable to pay its debts under any law or suspends payment to its creditors.
2. the other party commits a material breach of any of its obligations under the Contract and fails to remedy that breach within of prior written notice of such breach. For the purposes of this clause 15.2 (b), non-payment by the Customer for a period of 30 days or more after due date of any undisputed invoice constitutes a material breach by the Customer.
3. Additional rights of termination that apply to individual Associated Agreements may be included in each of those agreements.

1. On termination of a Contract, in addition to any other consequences of termination included in the relevant Associated Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed in writing in the relevant Associated Agreement, and without limiting either party's rights or remedies:

In no event is the Supplier liable for any damages caused (whether directly or indirectly) by the Customer not accepting or not acting on a recommendation made to the Customer in writing by the Supplier or by the Customer’s failure to perform its responsibilities under the relevant Contract.
3. If a consumer guarantee applies to a Contract or goods or services provided by the Supplier and the Supplier is liable for a breach of that guarantee, then to the extent permitted by law, the Supplier’s liability is limited, at the Supplier’s option:
1. in the case of goods, to the replacement or repair of the goods; or the supply of equivalent goods; or the cost of replacing or repair of the goods; or the cost of acquiring equivalent goods; and
2. in the case of services, to the resupply of those services or the cost of resupply, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that having regard to the commercial terms for the provisions of the goods and or services it is fair and reasonable for the Supplier to rely on the above limitations and that without the benefit of the limitations, among other things, the charges would be higher.
4. The Customer indemnifies the Supplier against any costs (including legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis, all and any court costs and witness fees and related legal expenses), expenses, claims, demands or liability whether direct, indirect or otherwise, and whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), equity or otherwise, arising out of, and must at the Supplier’s request, and subject to clause 17.5 and any reasonable conditions imposed at the Supplier’s discretion, at the Customer’s own cost defend or settle, any claim, action or proceedings brought against the Supplier in connection with:

2. give the Customer sufficient authority and relevant information in its possession or control in order to assist the Customer to conduct the defence of the Claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise.

1. In the event of any dispute arising between the parties in relation to a Contract, no party may commence any proceedings relating to the dispute (except where the party seeks urgent injunctive or interlocutory relief) unless that party has complied with the procedures in this clause 18.
