17.1  Entire agreement: The Contract, together with any variations agreed between the parties in writing, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior communications, representations, agreements or understandings, either verbal or written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Contract.

17.2  Additional terms and policies: Nomos One may publish additional terms and policies related to specific services such as applications for mobile devices, forums, contests or loyalty programs. The Client’s right to use such services is subject to those specific terms and policies.

17.3  Governing law and jurisdiction: If the Client is contracting with:

(a) NomosOne Limited (a limited liability company incorporated in New Zealand), the Client submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts, and to the laws, of New Zealand; or

(b) Nomos One Pty Ltd (an Australian registered company), the Client submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts, and to the laws, of New South Wales, Australia.

17.4  Changes to these terms: Nomos One may change these Terms at any time. Nomos One will make all reasonable endeavours to communicate these changes to the Client via email or notification via the Website or System. The Client is responsible for reading and understanding the then-current Terms. If the Client reasonably consider a material change to these Terms will have a material adverse effect on the Client, then the Client may advise Nomos One of this in writing within 30 days after the changed Terms came into effect. In this case, Nomos One may, acting reasonably, allow the Client to terminate the Client’s Subscription, with Nomos One waiving the Client’s obligation to pay future Subscription Fees under clause 14.2.

17.5  Rights of third parties: Nomos One has no responsibility to any person other than the Client. A person who is not a party to the Contract has no right to benefit under or to enforce any term of the Contract.

17.6  Delays: Neither party will be liable for any delay in meeting, or failure to meet, its obligations under the Contract (other than an obligation to pay money) to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by any event outside its reasonable control (including any delay or failure caused by any act or omission to the other party).

17.7  Force majeure: Neither party will be liable for a delay or failure to perform any obligation (excluding any payment obligation) caused by an event that is beyond its reasonable control (including but not limited to a pandemic, strike, lock-out, other industrial dispute (whether involving the workforce of the party or any other party), failure of a utility service, telecommunications network or service of a third party subcontractor, malicious damage, virus, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction or act of nature), provided that party takes all reasonable efforts to rectify the issue.

17.8  Electronic communications: Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications Nomos One sends to the Client should be in writing. The Client accepts that communication with Nomos One will mainly be by electronic means and agrees to this. The Client acknowledges and agrees that all contracts, invoices, notices, information and other communications that Nomos One provides to the Client electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

17.9  Assignment: The Client may not assign, pledge or transfer any rights, duties or obligations in the Contract to any other person except with Nomos One’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). A change in the Client’s effective ownership or control will be deemed to be an assignment for the purpose of this clause.

17.10  Waiver: No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Contract will operate as a waiver. A waiver of a right, power or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party giving the waiver.

17.11  Severability: If any provision of the Contract is, or becomes, unenforceable, illegal or invalid for any reason the relevant provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to remedy such unenforceability, illegality or invalidity or if this is not possible then such provision shall be severed from the Contract, without affecting the enforceability, legality or validity of any other provision of the Contract.
