(b) custom naming does not alter the Typefaces or any Intellectual Property Rights in them, and does not grant the Licensee any rights in the Typefaces beyond those granted under this Agreement;
(c) custom naming alone does not make the licence exclusive, and the Licensor remains free to license the same Typefaces, under any name, to any other person. Exclusivity arises only where Clause 3.9 applies; and
(d) Font Software supplied under custom naming is Font Software for all purposes of this Agreement, and Clause 4.5(a) continues to prohibit the Licensee from renaming it.

(c) any such exclusivity extends only to the Customised Variant, and only to the extent of the customisation, and does not extend to the underlying Typeface or to any other typeface, font software or design of the Licensor. The Licensor retains all Intellectual Property Rights in the Customised Variant and remains free to continue licensing, modifying, distributing and otherwise exploiting the underlying Typeface, and to create and license further variants of it, whether or not similar to the Customised Variant; and
(d) where the Order Documents do not expressly specify that a Customised Variant is exclusive, the licence of that Customised Variant is non-exclusive.
4.1. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Band, the Licensee's Organisation must not exceed the Licensed Band, except in accordance with Clause 4.7. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Scope, the Licensed Band is determined in accordance with Clause 4.10. Where the Order Documents specify that a licence is unlimited, that licence is not subject to any limit on the number of individual users, devices, domains, applications, social media accounts or territories, and Clauses 4.1, 4.6 and 4.7 do not apply to it.
4.2. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Band, the Licensee must during the Licence Term provide the information reasonably necessary to verify the Licensee's Licensed Band within three (3) Business Days of the Licensor's written request.
4.3. The Licensee is permitted to make one (1) backup copy of the Font Software for archival or recovery purposes provided that the Licensee retains exclusive custody and control of the copy.
4.4. The Licensee shall:
(a) comply with all of the Licensor's reasonable instructions in respect of the Licensee's access to and use of the Font Software;
(b) notify the Licensor as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the Font Software;
(c) promptly install and use any Maintenance Release(s) provided by the Licensor to the Licensee;
(d) keep the login, password and other account details provided by the Licensor for access to the Font Software (if any) strictly confidential and not share such information with third parties. The Licensee shall be solely responsible, and liable, for keeping such login, password and other account details confidential, and shall not share them with any third party for any reason without the Licensor's prior written consent;
(e) ensure that all Licensee's Personnel who may access and use the Font Software on the Licensee's behalf enter into an agreement with the Licensee, the terms of which are equivalent to, and in any event no less onerous than, the terms of this Agreement prior to their access to and use of, the Font Software. In no event shall the Licensee provide the Licensee's Personnel with any greater or wider rights to use the Font Software than that to which they are entitled under this Agreement; and
(f) inform the Licensor promptly of any changes in Control of the Licensee.
4.5. The Licensee shall not, and shall procure that Licensee's Personnel do not:
(a) in whole or in part, copy, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, make additions to, convert, reformat, rename or make error corrections to the Font Software or other FAMILY TYPE Property for any purpose (including, without limitation, any activity which has as its objective the disclosure of the source code of the Font Software or other FAMILY TYPE Property, or the determination of the performance characteristics or other behavioural characteristic of the Font Software), or permit or facilitate any third party to do any of the above, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or by Applicable Law;
(b) use any proprietary information protected under this Agreement, or Confidential Information provided by the Licensor under this Agreement to create any software, products or services which compete with, or are substantially similar to that of, the Font Software, nor use such proprietary information or Confidential Information in any manner which would be restricted by any copyright or other Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in it;
(c) sell, offer for sale, resell, license, sub-licence, rent, loan, distribute or otherwise provide any third party or person with access to the Font Software other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement;
(d) alter, remove or obscure the Licensor's proprietary notices, including copyright, trademark, or other legal notices in the Font Software or any other FAMILY TYPE Property;
(e) create any customisation, variant, adaptation or derivative work of the Font Software or other FAMILY TYPE Property, or any font software, typeface design, or typography that incorporates or imitates the data, design, or design statistics of, or that is substantially similar to, the Font Software or other FAMILY TYPE Property; or
(f) continue to use any Font Software or any other FAMILY TYPE Property after termination of the Agreement.
4.6. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Band, the Licensee warrants that the Licensed Band is accurate as at the Effective Date.
4.7. If at any time during the Term the Licensee's Organisation exceeds the Licensed Band, including as a result of a change of Control, merger, acquisition or organic growth (the Adjustment Date):
(a) the Licensee must notify the Licensor in writing within thirty (30) days after the Adjustment Date;
(b) the Licensee must pay the difference between the Fees already paid and the Fees applicable to the higher Licensed Band (the Adjustment Fee). The Adjustment Fee shall be calculated using the rates specified in or incorporated into the Order Documents or, if none are specified, the Licensor's published standard rates applicable to the relevant licence type and Licensed Band on the Adjustment Date;
(c) the Licensor may invoice the Adjustment Fee after receiving the Licensee's notice or otherwise becoming aware that the Licensed Band has been exceeded. The Adjustment Fee is due within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Failure by the Licensee to give the notice required by Clause 4.7(a) does not affect its obligation to pay the Adjustment Fee;
(d) if the Adjustment Date cannot reasonably be established from the Licensee's records, it shall be deemed to be the last day of the earliest financial or other reporting period for which the available records establish that the Licensed Band had been exceeded; and
(e) on payment of the Adjustment Fee, the Licensed Band is amended to the higher band and, subject to Clause 4.9, the Licensee's rights under this Agreement continue unaffected.
4.8. Within thirty (30) days after each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Licensee must:
(a) confirm to the Licensor in writing whether the Licensed Band remains accurate; and
(b) provide any information reasonably required under Clause 4.2 to verify that confirmation.
The Licensee warrants that each confirmation and all supporting information it provides are complete, accurate and not misleading in any material respect. Failure to provide the confirmation and supporting information constitutes a material breach of this Agreement if the failure continues for fifteen (15) days after the Licensor gives written notice requiring it to be remedied.
4.9. This Clause 4.9 does not apply where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Scope; in that case an acquisition does not extend the licence unless approved by the Licensor in accordance with Clause 4.11. Otherwise, where an entity becomes an Affiliate within the Licensee's Organisation after the Effective Date:
(a) if the addition of that entity does not cause the Organisation to exceed the Licensed Band, the licence extends to that entity from the date on which it becomes an Affiliate;
(b) if the addition causes the Organisation to exceed the Licensed Band, the licence extends provisionally to that entity for thirty (30) days from the date on which it becomes an Affiliate;
(c) if the Licensee gives the notice required by Clause 4.7(a) within that thirty (30) day period, the provisional extension continues until the due date of the Licensor's invoice for the Adjustment Fee;
(d) if the Licensee pays the Adjustment Fee by its due date, the licence continues to extend to the acquired entity; and
(e) if the Licensee fails to give the required notice or pay the Adjustment Fee by its due date, the provisional extension ends when the applicable period under Clause 4.9(b) or 4.9(c) expires, and the acquired entity must immediately cease using the Font Software.
Any use by the acquired entity during an applicable provisional extension under this Clause is authorised and does not constitute a retrospective breach of this Agreement.
4.10. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Scope, the applicable Licensed Band is determined:
(a) by reference to the organisation size, revenue and other pricing criteria attributable to the Licensed Scope, if the Order Documents expressly state that this basis applies and those criteria are separately identifiable and verifiable; or
(b) otherwise, by reference to the Organisation.
The Licensee must maintain records reasonably sufficient to verify any criteria attributed exclusively to a Licensed Scope.
4.11. Where the Order Documents specify a Licensed Scope, the licence does not extend to any additional or replacement division, business unit, brand, product or service. The Licensee must obtain the Licensor's prior written approval and pay any applicable additional Fees before commencing such use. A change of ownership, internal transfer, reorganisation, merger, acquisition, divestment or material expansion of the Licensed Scope does not extend or transfer the licence unless recorded in updated Order Documents.
4.12. If all or any part of a Licensed Scope, any Licensed Entity, or any part of the Licensee's Organisation is sold, transferred or otherwise ceases to form part of the Organisation (a Divestment):
(a) the licence and all rights under it do not transfer to the purchaser, recipient or divested entity, and the Font Software itself must not be transferred except as Clause 4.12(c) permits;
(b) unless the Licensor has approved an assignment or novation under Clause 11.1 or expressly agreed otherwise in updated Order Documents, the Licensee's rights in relation to the divested part cease on completion of the Divestment;
(c) the Licensee must ensure that no copy of the Font Software, other than font data embedded in documents or artwork in the ordinary course of the Licensee's use, is included in the assets, systems, files or materials transferred as part of the Divestment, and must remove the Font Software from any transferred Computers, servers or other systems before completion;
(d) the Licensee must notify the Licensor of the Divestment as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within twenty (20) Business Days after completion or, where a binding confidentiality obligation prevents notice within that period, within five (5) Business Days after that obligation ceases;
(e) the purchaser, recipient or divested entity must obtain a separate licence from the Licensor before installing, accessing, receiving or using the Font Software; and
(f) no Fees are refundable solely because rights cease under this Clause. Where the Licensee has paid Fees for a perpetual licence of a Licensed Scope that is divested in its entirety, the Licensor will, on the Licensee's written request made within twelve (12) months after completion, either apply those Fees as a credit against a licence for a replacement Licensed Scope of equivalent or smaller size, or consider an assignment to the purchaser under Clause 11.1, which the Licensor will not unreasonably refuse where the purchaser accepts the obligations of this Agreement.
Any transitional use following completion of a Divestment must be expressly approved by the Licensor and recorded in updated Order Documents.
5.1. In consideration of the licence granted under this Agreement, the Licensee agrees to pay the Licensor the Fees.
5.2. All sums payable under this Agreement shall be made in the currency specified in the Order Documents, or if no currency is specified, in Australian dollars (AUD).
5.3. All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of GST or any relevant local sales taxes, for which the Licensee shall be responsible.
5.4. If the Licensee fails to make any payment due to the Licensor under this Agreement by the due date for payment, then, without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Licensor under this Agreement, including under Clause 17, the Licensor shall be entitled to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% per annum above the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate target from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Licensee shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
6.1. The Licensor will invoice the Licensee in accordance with the Order Documents.
6.2. The Licensee will:
(a) settle all invoices issued by the Licensor within thirty (30) days of the date of the relevant invoice; and
(b) within five (5) Business Days of receipt of any invoice, inform the Licensor of any Fees that may be disputed.
6.3. The Licensee shall not be entitled by reason of any set-off, counterclaim, abatement, or other similar deduction to withhold payment of any amount due to the Licensor. In the event of a dispute over an invoice, the Licensee must set forth in writing to the Licensor the reason and details giving rise to the dispute. In such event, the Parties will use their good faith efforts to resolve such dispute as soon as possible and act in accordance with Clause 21.
7.1. Neither Party will disclose the commercial terms of this Agreement, including the Fees, without the prior written consent of the other Party.
7.2. Unless the Order Documents provide otherwise, and despite Clause 14, the Licensor may identify the Licensee as a user of the Font Software and may reproduce and display examples of the Font Software as used by the Licensee, in the Licensor's portfolio, website, social media, press and other marketing materials. For that purpose only, the Licensor may use the Licensee's name and trade marks as they appear in the material shown.
7.3. Clause 7.2 applies only to material the Licensee has already released publicly, and does not extend to any material the Licensee has notified the Licensor is unreleased or confidential. The Licensee may withdraw the permission in Clause 7.2 at any time by written notice, and the Licensor will remove the material from anything within its control within a reasonable period, but is not required to recall anything already printed or distributed.
7.4. Except as Clause 7.2 permits, neither Party may use the other Party's name, trade marks, logos, devices or symbols, or anything materially similar to them, without the prior written consent of the other Party, and neither Party may represent that the other endorses it or its products.
8.1. All Intellectual Property Rights belonging to the Licensor (including, without limitation, the Font Software, the Typefaces and all other FAMILY TYPE Property) shall remain vested in the Licensor and nothing in this Agreement will operate to assign or transfer the Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensor's products or services to the Licensee.
8.2. The Licensee shall not use any trademarks or trade names which are owned by the Licensor save with the prior written consent of the Licensor. The Licensee shall not co-join or create any composite mark in combination with the trademarks of the Licensor.
8.3. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that by this Agreement it acquires only a limited licence to access and use the Font Software and the FAMILY TYPE Property on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and the Licensor and its licensors own and retain all legal and beneficial right, title, and interest in and to the Font Software and all other FAMILY TYPE Property and all Intellectual Property Rights embodied therein, anywhere in the world, and the Licensee acknowledges that it neither owns nor acquires any right in or to the Font Software or any other FAMILY TYPE Property other than the right to use it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
9.1. The Licensee shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical data acquired from the Licensor under this Agreement (or any products, including software, incorporating any such data) in breach of any Applicable Law, including United States export laws and regulations ("Export Control Laws"), to any country for which the government or any agency thereof at the time of export requires an export licence or other governmental approval without first obtaining such licence or approval.
9.2. The Licensee undertakes:
(a) contractually to oblige any third party to whom it discloses or transfers any such data or products to make an undertaking to it in terms no less onerous than Clause 9.1 above; and
(b) if requested, to provide the Licensor with any reasonable assistance, at the reasonable cost of the Licensor, to enable it to perform any activity required by any competent government or agency in any relevant jurisdiction for the purpose of compliance with any Export Control Laws.
10.1. The Licensee will not, during the Term, solicit or endeavour to entice away and consequently employ, any person who is employed or engaged by the Licensor in any services which are directly relevant to the Licensee's use of and access to, or the Licensor's provision of, the Font Software. This provision shall not prevent either Party from employing any of the other Party's Personnel who have made an unsolicited response to a general recruitment advertisement published by or on behalf of the first Party.
11.1. The Agreement or any rights under the Agreement may not be assigned by the Licensee without the written approval of the Licensor. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld where the assignment is to a successor to the whole, or substantially the whole, of the Licensee's business by way of merger, acquisition or solvent reconstruction, provided that the Licensee gives the Licensor written notice of the assignment and the successor's Organisation is assessed against the Licensed Band in accordance with Clause 4.7.
11.2. Except as Clause 3.2 permits, the Licensee shall not subcontract or otherwise deal with its rights and obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement without the Licensor's prior written consent.
11.3. The Licensor shall have the right to assign or novate any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates or to the successor to the whole or a part of the Licensor's business. All references in this Agreement to the Licensor shall be construed as including any Affiliate or successor to which such rights or obligations (or both, as applicable) are assigned or novated.
12.1. Except as expressly stated in Clause 12.4, the Licensor shall not in any circumstances be liable to the Licensee for any losses which may be suffered by the Licensee (or any person claiming under or through the Licensee), whether the same arise in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise howsoever, which fall within any of the following categories:
(a) loss of profits;
(b) loss of anticipated savings;
(c) loss of business opportunity;
(d) loss of goodwill;
(e) loss or corruption of data;
(f) loss of use,
in each case whether direct or indirect; or
(g) special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damages, even if the Licensor was aware of the circumstances in which such special damages could arise.
12.2. Subject to Clauses 12.4 and 12.5, the total liability of the Licensor, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, any other form of liability or otherwise, and whether under or in connection with this Agreement or any collateral agreement, arising out of this Agreement (including the use of or inability to use the Font Software), shall in no circumstances exceed the total Fees paid or payable for the Font Software and the licence giving rise to the claim.
12.3. Subject to Clause 12.1, the Licensee agrees that, in entering into this Agreement, either the Licensee did not rely on any representations (whether written or oral) of any kind or of any person other than those expressly set out in this Agreement or (if Licensee did rely on any representations, whether written or oral, not expressly set out in this Agreement) that Licensee shall have no remedy in respect of such representations and (in either case) the Licensor shall have no liability in any circumstances otherwise than in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement.
12.4. The exclusions in Clauses 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 shall apply to the fullest extent permissible at law, but the Licensor does not exclude liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Licensor, its officers, employees, contractors or agents;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any other liability which may not be excluded by law.
12.5. Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (being Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. To the extent permitted by section 64A of the Australian Consumer Law, the Licensor's liability for a failure to comply with any such guarantee in respect of the Font Software is limited, at the Licensor's option, to resupplying the Font Software or paying the cost of having the Font Software resupplied. This Clause 12.5 applies despite any other provision of this Agreement.
13.1. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Licensor makes no representations or warranties regarding the Font Software, any FAMILY TYPE Property or any other matter pertaining to this Agreement and all other conditions (whether they are oral, written, express or implied or arise in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) regarding the Font Software, any FAMILY TYPE Property or any other matter pertaining to the Agreement or any collateral contract (including, without limitation, any implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, use of reasonable skill and care, or non-infringement, or warranties otherwise implied by statute or from a course of dealing or usage of trade) are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.
13.2. The Licensor does not warrant or guarantee that the Font Software or the FAMILY TYPE Property will meet all of the Licensee's requirements or the Licensee will always be able to access and use the Font Software or the FAMILY TYPE Property without disruptions, delays or communication-related defects.
13.3. The Font Software, the FAMILY TYPE Property and all information disclosed to the Licensee by the Licensor under this Agreement are provided in good faith but on an "as-is" basis and except as expressly set out in this Agreement, the Licensor does not give, and accepts no responsibility for, any warranty, whether express or implied, regarding the truth, accuracy, reasonableness, fitness for purpose or completeness of the Font Software, the FAMILY TYPE Property or such information.
13.4. Each Party represents and warrants that it has the power, capacity and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and holds all rights, licences, permissions and consents necessary to grant the rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
13.5. The Licensor represents and warrants that:
(a) it uses, and will continue to use, commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there is no slavery, human trafficking, or child or forced labour in its business or, so far as it is aware after reasonable enquiry, in its supply chain;
(b) neither it nor any of its directors, officers or employees has been convicted of any offence involving slavery, human trafficking, or child or forced labour; and
(c) so far as it is aware, it is not the subject of any investigation, inquiry or enforcement proceedings in relation to an alleged offence of that kind.
14.1. In consideration of the Parties making Confidential Information available to each other, each Party undertakes to the other Party to treat and keep all Confidential Information, which is supplied by either Party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other Party (the "Receiving Party") as secret and confidential.
14.2. All obligations accruing under this Clause 14 shall survive expiry or termination (for whatever reason) of this Agreement for two (2) years after the date of expiry or termination of this Agreement, except that the obligations in respect of the Font Software, the FAMILY TYPE Property and any trade secrets continue without limit of time.
14.3. The Receiving Party shall:
(a) not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than those specified or anticipated under this Agreement;
(b) not directly or indirectly disclose Confidential Information in whole or in part to any person not being a Party or the Personnel of a Party ("Third Party") (or allow Confidential Information to be so disclosed);
(c) only disclose Confidential Information to such of its Personnel on a need-to-know basis for the purposes of exercising the Receiving Party's rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement;
(d) notify these obligations to any of its Personnel who receive any Confidential Information and procure that any such Personnel comply with the terms of this Agreement as if they were a party to it, and remain responsible for the actions of its Personnel in relation to any Confidential Information;
(e) ensure proper and secure storage of all Confidential Information and any copies thereof to a reasonable standard and to at least the same standard as the Receiving Party keeps its own Confidential Information;
(f) not make any copies or reproduce in any form any Confidential Information except for the purpose of disclosure or use as permitted in accordance with this Agreement, or reasonable backups (any such copies being subject to the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the original), unless with the express prior written consent of the Disclosing Party;
(g) keep a written record (to be supplied to the Disclosing Party upon request) of the Confidential Information received and any copies made thereof and, so far as is reasonably practicable, of the location of such Confidential Information and any copies thereof; and
(h) within seven (7) days of a written request of the Disclosing Party:
(i) destroy or return to the Disclosing Party all documents and materials (and any copies) containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information;
(ii) erase all the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information from its computer systems or which is stored in electronic form (to the extent possible); and
(iii) certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that it has complied with the requirements of this Clause 14.3(h), provided that a Receiving Party may retain documents and materials containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to the extent required by law or any applicable governmental or regulatory authority and to the extent reasonable to permit the Receiving Party to keep evidence that it has performed its obligations
under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to any documents and materials retained by the Receiving Party. Clause 14.3(h) does not require the Licensee to destroy, return or erase any Font Software that it is then licensed to use under this Agreement, and nothing in this Clause 14 limits the rights granted to the Licensee under Clause 3.
14.4. The Receiving Party may:
(a) disclose the Confidential Information to professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants and insurers (subject to receiving from such professional advisers undertakings as to confidentiality in terms equivalent to those set out herein in relation to such Confidential Information) with a view to obtaining advice relating to or in connection with the Agreement; and
(b) disclose such Confidential Information as it may be required to disclose by law or regulation or upon order or demand of any governmental regulatory or judicial or arbitral body, provided that the Receiving Party shall (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) notify the Disclosing Party of the information to be disclosed (and of the circumstances in which the disclosure is alleged to be required) as early as reasonably possible before such disclosure must be made and shall take all reasonable action to avoid and limit such disclosure.
14.5. The restrictions in Clauses 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 shall not apply to information which is:
(a) in or enters the public domain otherwise than as a direct or indirect result of the Confidential Information being disclosed in breach of this Agreement; or
(b) lawfully known to the Receiving Party free of restriction (as can be demonstrated by the Receiving Party by its written records or other reasonable evidence) before the supply of the information from the other Party (the "Disclosure"); or
(c) discovered by the Receiving Party independently of the Disclosing Party and the Disclosure; or
(d) disclosed by a Third Party who was lawfully entitled to do so; or
(e) required to be disclosed by law or governmental regulation or upon order or demand of any regulatory or judicial or arbitral body; or
(f) disclosed by the Licensor in accordance with Clause 7.2.
14.6. The Disclosing Party warrants and represents to the Receiving Party that, so far as it is aware, it has the right to distribute the Confidential Information to the Receiving Party in the format it provides it.
14.7. Except in the case of fraudulent misrepresentation and subject to Clause 14.6 above, all Confidential Information is provided on an "as is" basis and the Disclosing Party accepts no responsibility for, nor makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any Confidential Information made available to the Receiving Party.
15.1. During the Term, the Licensor may require the Licensee to provide the addresses of all locations where the Font Software is installed.
15.2. The Licensee shall, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year following termination of this Agreement, permit the Licensor, upon reasonable notice, to inspect (and take copies of) such of the Licensee's books, accounts, records, analytics reports, information systems and other information as the Licensor (and/or any representative appointed by the Licensor) may reasonably request in order to verify the Licensee's usage of the Font Software, the Licensee's Licensed Band and compliance with this Agreement. The Licensee may redact any commercially sensitive information or personal information from any documents, records or other information provided to the Licensor (or the Licensor's representative as the case may be) pursuant to this Clause 15.2 provided that such redaction does not impair the ability of the Licensor to verify the Licensee's usage of the Font Software. If such inspection should reveal a shortfall in the Fees paid by the Licensee in any period from those payable under this Agreement of greater than 2%, the Licensee shall immediately make up such shortfall by payment to the Licensor of the shortfall amount, and in such circumstance shall reimburse the Licensor in respect of any reasonable professional charges incurred.
16.1. Each Party will comply with the Privacy Laws that apply to it in connection with this Agreement.
16.2. The Licensor collects personal information from the Licensee only for the purposes of supplying the Font Software, performing this Agreement, verifying the Licensee's compliance under Clauses 4 and 15, administering the Licensee's account and providing support. The Licensor will not use that information for any other purpose without the Licensee's consent.
16.3. The Licensor will take reasonable steps to protect personal information it holds under this Agreement from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, and will destroy or de-identify that information when it is no longer needed for a purpose set out in Clause 16.2 and the Licensor is not required to retain it by law.
16.4. Where the Licensee provides the Licensor with personal information about its Personnel or any other individual, the Licensee warrants that it is entitled to provide that information and has given any notification required under the Privacy Laws.
17.1. Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the Licensor may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Licensee if:
(a) the Licensee fails to make a payment of any sums due under this Agreement in full, and that sum remains unpaid fourteen (14) days after the Licensor has given the Licensee written notice of the non-payment;
(b) the Licensee commits a material breach of Clause 14 which is irremediable or, if the breach is remediable, fails to remedy that breach within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice from the Licensor specifying the breach and requiring it to be remedied;
(c) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or Applicable Law, the Licensee decompiles, disassembles, or reverse engineers any of the Font Software, or carries out any act otherwise restricted by copyright or the Intellectual Property Rights in the Font Software without prior written authorisation by the Licensor;
(d) the Licensee commits a material breach of any other term of this Agreement which breach is irremediable or (if such breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within a period of fifteen (15) days after being notified in writing to do so;
(e) the Licensee suspends, or threatens to suspend, payment of its debts or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due or admits inability to pay its debts or is deemed unable to pay its debts;
(f) the Licensee commences negotiations with all or any class of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its debts, or makes a proposal for or enters into any compromise or arrangement with its creditors other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of the Licensee with one or more other companies or the solvent reconstruction of the Licensee;
(g) a petition is filed, a notice is given, a resolution is passed, or an order is made, for or in connection with the winding up of the Licensee other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of the Licensee with one or more other companies or the solvent reconstruction of the Licensee;
(h) an application is made to court, or an order is made, for the appointment of an administrator, or if a notice of intention to appoint an administrator is given or if an administrator is appointed, over the Licensee;
(i) a secured party takes possession of, or a controller (as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) is appointed over, the whole or any part of the Licensee's assets;
(j) a person becomes entitled to appoint a receiver over the assets of the Licensee or a receiver is appointed over the assets of the Licensee;
(k) a creditor or encumbrancer of the Licensee attaches or takes possession of, or a distress, execution, sequestration or other such process is levied or enforced on or sued against, the whole or any part of the Licensee's assets and such attachment or process is not discharged within fourteen (14) days;
(l) any event occurs, or proceeding is taken, with respect to the Licensee in any jurisdiction to which it is subject that has an effect equivalent or similar to any of the events mentioned in Clause 17.1(e) to Clause 17.1(k) (inclusive); or
(m) the Licensee suspends or ceases, or threatens to suspend or cease, carrying on all or a substantial part of its business.
17.2. Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the Licensee may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Licensor if the Licensor commits a material breach of this Agreement which is irremediable or, if the breach is remediable, fails to remedy that breach within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice from the Licensee specifying the breach and requiring it to be remedied.
17.3. Termination or expiry of this Agreement shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the Parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.
17.4. On termination of this Agreement for any reason:

(d) the Licensee shall immediately pay to the Licensor any sums due to the Licensor under this Agreement.
17.5. In the event that the Licensor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Clause 17.1 above, the Licensee shall not be entitled to be refunded any portion of the Fees.
17.6. If the Licensee terminates this Agreement under Clause 17.2, the Licensor must refund any Fees paid in advance that relate exclusively to the period after termination, and any Fees paid for Font Software or services that the Licensor has not supplied as at the date of termination. This Clause does not limit any other right or remedy available to the Licensee.
17.7. Any provision of this Agreement which expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
18.1. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
19.1. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.

(a) any breach by the Licensee of this Agreement;
(b) any act or omission of the Licensee's Personnel that would breach this Agreement if they were a party to it; and
(c) any third-party claim arising from use of the Font Software otherwise than as this Agreement permits, or from any custom name, Customised Variant specification or other content the Licensee has supplied or directed.
20.2. The indemnity in Clause 20.1 does not apply to the extent the loss is attributable to a breach of this Agreement by the Licensor or to the Licensor's negligence.
21.1. In the event of a dispute which arises in whole or in part from this Agreement (including any question as to its existence, validity or termination) or any transaction conducted as a result of or arising out of this Agreement (the "Dispute"), full details of the Dispute (including the remedy sought) ("Dispute Notice") must be set out in writing and served upon the other party with any documents relied upon. Any party receiving a Dispute Notice must within fourteen (14) days of service of it, serve a written reply (the "Reply") on the serving Party. A senior representative of each of the Parties with authority to settle the Dispute must within fourteen (14) days of service of the Reply meet in good faith to attempt to resolve the Dispute.
21.2. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute in the manner set out in Clause 21.1, either Party may request by service of a notice in writing that the matter be referred to mediation. The mediator, if not appointed by agreement between the Parties within fourteen (14) days of the written notice suggesting mediation, shall be nominated by the Australian Disputes Centre. All negotiations and/or mediation connected with the Dispute shall be conducted in strict confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in future legal proceedings. Any settlement reached by the Parties shall be put in writing and become binding on the parties once signed by a duly authorised representative of each Party.
21.3. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Parties under this Agreement, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by the defaulting Party of the other Party's rights under Clauses 8 or 14 of this Agreement and a Party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of any such provisions by the defaulting Party, and no proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement of the rights under this Agreement.
21.4. Nothing in this Clause 21 prevents a Party from seeking urgent interlocutory relief in an appropriate court or tribunal.
22.1. This Agreement and the documents annexed as appendices to this Agreement or otherwise referred to herein contain the whole agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings between the parties relating to that subject matter.
22.2. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement and the documents referred to or annexed to it, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) ("Representation") other than as expressly set out in this Agreement (or the documents attached to it).
22.3. Each Party agrees that the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with a Representation shall be for breach of contract as expressly provided in this Agreement.
22.4. Nothing in this Clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
22.5.

If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part- provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part- provision under this Clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
24.2. If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
25.1. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between the Parties, constitute any Party the agent of another Party, or authorise any Party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other Party.
25.2. Each Party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person.
26.1. Neither Party shall be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control. In such circumstances the time for performance shall be extended by a period equivalent to the period during which performance of the obligation has been delayed or failed to be performed. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for four (4) weeks, the Party not affected may terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the affected Party.
