Force Majeure

1. Neither Party will be liable for any delays or non-performance under this MSA caused by a Force Majeure Event, provided that each Party has taken all reasonable steps to minimise any loss, damage or delay resulting from a Force Majeure Event.
2. If a Force Majeure Event affects either Party, the affected Party must immediately inform the other Party of the circumstances and may request the other Party’s approval to extend time for the performance of the affected Party’s obligations under this MSA by a period of up to the same duration of the Force Majeure Event. The other Party will not unreasonably withhold approval of any such request.
3. When a Force Majeure Event occurs, which causes delays in the supply of the Services and/or Products and such delays continue or are likely to continue for a period greater than thirty (30) Working Days after receipt of notification of the Force Majeure Event, either Party may by notice to the other terminate the Services and/or Products or any part of the Services and/or Products affected by the Force Majeure Event.
4. If as a result of, or immediately following a Force Majeure Event, or in any other event where Ohnyx is required to provide Services, provisioning, or expedite design and implementation processes on an urgent basis, Ohnyx will use all best endeavours to capture and include all relevant solution components and costs from the outset of the instructions and provide accurate costing for the same. The Parties acknowledge that due to operating in these type of circumstances Ohnyx reserves the right to amend the charges or estimate of costs provided, on the basis of any component or cost that has been omitted or altered in such operating circumstances. The incurred charges will be backdated at the correct rates. Where an increase in cost occurs or is required, Ohnyx will where possible first contact the Client and agree the same, prior to any such additional costs being incurred.

Warranties and liability

1. Ohnyx disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose in connection with the Client’s purchase of Products or Services under the MSA.
2. Ohnyx will not be liable for the following:
   1. Client breach of this MSA;
   2. Client attempts to modify or misapply or subject the Products to any unusual or non- recommended use, servicing or handling;
   3. Client attempts to alter or modify any data or information provided by Ohnyx while delivering the Services and/or Products;
   4. any act or omission of any Client subcontractor, supplier or service provider;
   5. indirect or consequential loss of any kind, loss of profits or for any business interruption;
   6. non-compliance by the Client with the terms of any written warranty, manufacturer instructions or end user license agreement;
   7. Ohnyx non-performance due to reliance on information or data incorrectly supplied by the Client;

The non-appearance of an intermittent fault during testing does not necessarily mean the fault has been fixed. A successful repair may involve more than one service/part replacement before the fault is completely eliminated. Ohnyx technicians will use reasonable endeavours to eliminate the most likely reasons for the fault first. Where the cost of removing parts used in trying to eliminate a fault could potentially exceed the value of the part, Ohnyx will recommend replacement of that part. In the event any part is replaced under warranty, a labour only cost will be incurred for the time taken to replace the part.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this MSA, the maximum total liability of one Party in respect of claims to the other Party, under or in connection with this MSA, in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in any 12 month period will be limited to 50 per cent of the Fees actually paid by the Client to Ohnyx for the Services and/or Products (excluding GST and disbursements) during that 12 month period. Neither Party will be liable for any breach to the extent that the breach is attributable to the prior default, negligence, misconduct or breach of the other Party (and/or its employees and agents) or any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits or for any business interruption or loss of data. All claims must be formally notified to the other Party within six (6) months of the relevant incident.
6. The above limitation of liability will not apply, and the Client will indemnify and hold Ohnyx harmless with respect to any liability or loss suffered by Ohnyx as a result of any actual or threatened claim by a third party (including any claim in defamation, infringement of property rights or license agreements, invasion of privacy or access to or alteration of private records and data) arising from the use of Ohnyx Services, transmission of data or messages by the Client using Ohnyx Services, or regarding any obligation for the payment of Fees (including interest on any overdue Fees) under this MSA.

   1. for any Services and/or Products where Fees were to be paid by way of instalments over the entire Initial Term of any Schedule or Statement of Work (but which are not fully recoverable by Ohnyx due to termination) and
   2. Any amounts owing by Ohnyx to any third parties, when those amounts have been incurred on behalf of the Client, in connection with the Services and/or Products, and which have not been recovered in part or in full by Ohnyx, due to early termination of any Schedule.
