3.0 GENERAL

3.1 An amendment or variation of any term of an agreement must be agreed in writing.

3.2 No party may rely on the words or conduct of any other party as being a waiver of any right, power or remedy arising under or in connection with an agreement unless the other party or parties expressly grant a waiver of the right, power or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing, signed by the party granting the waiver and is only effective to the extent set out in that waiver.

3.3 If the whole or any part of a provision of an agreement is or becomes invalid or unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, it is severed in that jurisdiction to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and whether it is in severable terms or not. A clause does not apply if the severance of a provision of a agreement in accordance with that clause would materially affect or alter the nature or effect of the parties’ obligations under an agreement.

3.4 A agreement states all the express terms agreed by the parties about its subject matter. It supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions in respect of its subject matter.

3.5 Nothing in an agreement gives a party authority to bind any other party in any way nor imposes any fiduciary duties on a party in relation to any other party.

3.6 A notice or other communication to a party under a agreement (Notice) must be in writing and in English, signed by the sender or a person authorised to sign on behalf of the sender; and must not be given by electronic means of communication other than email.

3.7 A agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. All counterparts taken together constitute one instrument. A party may execute an agreement by signing any counterpart. The date on which the last counterpart is executed is the date of the relevant agreement.

3.8 A agreement is governed by the law in force in Queensland. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts exercising jurisdiction in Queensland and courts of appeal from them in respect of any proceedings arising out of or in connection with an agreement.
