10.3 Remedies. The parties acknowledge that disclosing Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may be an insufficient remedy, and so on breach of this Section, each party is entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law.

16.6 Independent Contractors. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and this Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship. Neither party has the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s prior written consent.
16.7 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligation under this Agreement (except payment obligations) if the delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or reduction of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or government act.
16.8 Amendments; Waivers. Any modification or amendment to this Agreement must be made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of each party. However, if Hello Reviews modifies the Agreement or any applicable Service-Specific Terms during Customer’s Subscription Term, the modified version will take effect upon Customer’s next Subscription Term renewal. In addition: (a) If Hello Reviews launches new products or optional features that require opt-in acceptance of new terms, those terms will apply upon Customer’s acceptance or use; (b) changes to any terms will take effect immediately for Free Access Subscriptions; and (c) during a Subscription Term, Hello Reviews may update Hello Reviews’ website page, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy from time-to-time to reflect process improvements or changing practices, and these changes will take effect thirty (30) days from the date of posting so long as they do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial additional Customer obligations during a Subscription Term. Hello Reviews’ Documentation is available online and constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, during a Subscription Term Hello Reviews may update the Documentation to reflect best practice with the relevant Hello Reviews Service, provided that these changes do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial Customer obligations. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Subscription Form, this Agreement will take precedence unless otherwise expressly provided. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement. Waivers must be made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
16.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement may otherwise remain in effect.
16.10 No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement confers on any third party the right to enforce any provision of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that each Subscription Form only permits use by and for the legal entity or entities identified in the Subscription Form(s) as the Customer, and not any Customer Affiliates.
16.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the parties’ complete and exclusive understanding relating to the Agreement’s subject matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the Hello Reviews Technology or any other subject matter covered by this Agreement. Any terms provided by Customer (including as part of any purchase order or other business form used by Customer) are for administrative purposes only, and have no legal effect.
16.12 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Region-Specific Terms. Governing law, jurisdiction, and other region-specific terms are set out below:
Australia and New Zealand. For customers located in Australia and New Zealand, the following terms apply:

Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Australia and Victoria.

Additional tax-related section (Australia and New Zealand):

A. Interpretation. References to an entity in this tax-related section (including Hello Reviews, the Customer, or the Payee, defined below), include references to the representative member of a GST group to which the entity belongs. All words and phrases that are not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meaning as in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (“the GST Act”).

B. Reverse charge. Under Division 83 of the GST Act, Customer agrees to pay the GST on all taxable supplies made by Hello Reviews to Customer under or in connection with this Agreement.

C. Warranty and Indemnity. Customer represents and warrants that it is registered for GST. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hello Reviews from and against any and all third-party claims, costs, damages, liabilities (including without limitation any tax impost, penalty, or interest charge), and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from a breach of this representation and warranty.

D. Termination of reverse charge arrangement. The reverse charge arrangement in Section B will cease to apply where either party gives notice in writing to the other party terminating the arrangement. The notice must specify the date of termination, which must be not less than 14 days after the notice is given.

E. GST recovery. This Section E applies where Section B does not apply or a reverse charge arrangement has been terminated. Where Hello Reviews makes a taxable supply to Customer under or in connection with this Agreement, Customer must pay to Hello Reviews an additional amount equal to the GST payable on the supply (unless the consideration for that taxable supply is expressed to include GST). The additional amount must be paid by Customer at the date when any consideration for the taxable supply is first paid or provided.

F. Reimbursements, etc. Subject to an express provision in this agreement to the contrary, any payment, reimbursement, or indemnity required to be made to a party (the “Payee”) under this agreement which is calculated by reference to an amount paid or payable by the Payee to a third party (the “Outgoing”) will be calculated by reference to that Outgoing inclusive of GST, less the amount of any input tax credit which the Payee is entitled to claim on that Outgoing.
