Disputes

A party must not commence legal proceedings (except proceedings seeking interlocutory relief) in respect of a dispute arising out of this Agreement unless it has complied with this clause 14. A party claiming that a dispute has arisen must notify the other party to the dispute giving details of the dispute.

During the 15-Business Day period after notice is given (or any longer period agreed in writing by the parties to the dispute) (Initial Period) each party to the dispute (Disputant) must cooperate and take all reasonable steps necessary to resolve the dispute.
If the Disputants are unable to resolve the dispute within the Initial Period, each Disputant agrees that the Dispute must be referred for mediation to a mediator agreed on by the Disputant.

If the Disputants are unable to agree on a mediator within 7 days after the end of the Initial Period, then the parties must submit the dispute for mediation through the Law Society of South Australia and have the president of that Law Society appoint a mediator and set the matter for mediation.

The role of the mediator is to assist in negotiating a resolution of the Dispute. A mediator may not make a decision that is binding on a Disputant unless that Disputant has so agreed in writing.

Each Disputant must pay its own costs of complying with this clause. The Disputants must pay equally the costs of any mediator engaged.

The mediation will be held in South Australia.

After the Initial Period, a Disputant that has complied with this section may terminate the dispute resolution process by giving notice to each other Disputant. A party to the dispute will only be entitled to pursue other remedies available to it at law or otherwise, if the parties have failed to resolve the dispute within 30 Business Days after commencement of dispute resolution.
All communications concerning negotiations made by the Disputants in connection with this dispute resolution clause are confidential and to the extent possible, must be treated as “without prejudice” negotiations for the purpose of applicable law of evidence.

Severability

If any provision of our Terms is unenforceable or invalid, it will be ineffective to the extent that it will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and any other terms that form part of it shall constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of the Site and shall supersede all previous agreements between you and us.

Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of South Australia and Courts of Appeal from them for determining any dispute concerning these Terms.

Force Majeure

Force Majeure means an event which is beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third-party hosting provider or utility provider, strikes, fires, acts of God, and governmental action.
