Supply of Products and Services

• We will supply the Products and/or Services to you as agreed between us in writing or as set out in a SOW. Any amendment to Product or Service orders must be agreed by the parties in writing.
• We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet the timings agreed for completion of the Services. You agree that our ability to meet these dates may depend on you providing us with any required information, participating promptly in reviewing material we have produced or otherwise providing us with the inputs we need from you.
• We will comply with your reasonable on-site policies and procedures where applicable to the Services, and where these are notified to us in advance. We reserve the right to increase our charges where any policy causes us to incur additional costs.

Services output

• We will perform the Services with all due care and skill. Our proposed assigned personnel have the necessary expertise and experience to properly perform the Services.
• You agree that you are responsible for ensuring that the Services and the deliverables fit your business needs and generally meet your requirements.
• Excluding any third party intellectual property rights, you will own all intellectual property rights in the materials we provide in delivering the Services. This clause assigns all those rights to you.
• Subject to any third party intellectual property rights, we will own all pre-existing rights in relation to existing intellectual property that is used in performing the Services or creating the deliverables. Subject to your due performance of your obligations under these General Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive licence to use any of this intellectual property if it is incorporated in any deliverable – but only to the extent necessary to use that deliverable, and you may only use our intellectual property internally for the purposes of your business. Examples of this type of intellectual property include pre-existing templates, tools, processes, software, methodologies and standard-form documents we use in performing the Services or providing the deliverables.
• Nothing in these General Terms prevents us from using our skills, ideas, techniques, experience, know-how and methodologies in the future.
• We will indemnify you against any Loss directly arising out of any third party claim alleging that the performance of the Services or your use of the deliverables infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
• You must notify us promptly of any claim, and we may at our option, handle that claim’s defence. On request, you will provide us with all reasonable assistance with any claim, and you agree not to do anything to prejudice the settlement or defence of any claim.
• You agree to review any Services or deliverables provided, and where they do not materially meet the requirements specified in the SOW or otherwise agreed in writing between us, we may at our option either in respect of any part of the Services or deliverables:
  ‍
  (a) replace or re-perform that part at no additional cost to you;
  
  (b) refund to you an appropriate portion of the charges paid in respect of that part.

• You authorise Supahuman Limited to act on your behalf to licence to you any applicable third party intellectual property rights, as set out in the relevant SOW. You agree to use any third party intellectual property rights included in a deliverable, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of that third party’s intellectual property licence.

Charges

• You will pay the charges for the Products or Services indicated on the invoice, or other similar document issued by us.
• The charges payable will include in addition, any amount required for any GST and any other taxes, duties, and levies payable in respect of the supply of the Products or Services as at the date of the invoice.
• We may alter our standard rates making up the charges without notice from time to time. These prices may differ from the rates quoted or the rates current when the services were originally ordered by you. If additional costs arise after the date of quotation (such as those due to exchange rate fluctuations or an increase in supplier price), our price to you will alter accordingly. However, any rates set out in the SOW which we have agreed are fixed for the term of the SOW or for a period, will be fixed for that term or period (unless otherwise specified in the SOW).
• You will make all payments due to us in full without any deductions, whether by way of set off, counterclaim, or any other equitable or legal claim.

Payment

• Unless otherwise specified by us, all payments must be made in full without set off or deduction, by the 20th of the month following the invoice date.
• In the event that:
  ‍
  (a) any amount payable by you to us is overdue, or you fail to meet any other obligation owed to us (whether in relation to the sale of products or otherwise), or in our reasonable opinion you are likely to be unable to meet your payments or other obligations owed to us;
  ‍
  (b) you commit or suffer any insolvency event (bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, official management or similar), or unable to pay your debts as they fall due;
  ‍
  (c) the ownership or effective control of your business is transferred or is about to be; or

  (g) you will indemnify us against any costs we incur due to your actions.

• If you fail to pay any undisputed invoice, or any undisputed part of an invoice, we may:
  ‍
  (a) charge you interest on the amount due (calculated on a daily basis from the due date) at a rate equivalent to Supahuman Limited’s applicable bank overdraft rate plus 3%; and
  ‍
  (b) withhold any further products or services until the debt is fully paid.

General

• If either of us does not exercise a right at any time in connection with a default under these General Terms or a SOW, this does not mean that the right is waived or cannot be exercised later.
• Where any provision of these General Terms is declared invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then that provision may be severed, and will not affect the enforceability or effectiveness of any other provision in these General Terms.
• These General Terms may be varied by us from time to time by notifying you in writing. Any variation only applies to any future services under those amended terms. In the event that any of these General Terms conflict with the terms of any other written agreement under which we provide services to you, the terms of that other written agreement will prevail.
• We will not be liable to you for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these General Terms or a SOW where the delay or failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event.

  ‍
  (a) collect all relevant information (including any personal information) we may reasonably require from you, your personnel, customers or any third parties, and you authorise and request those individuals to release that information to us (including for the purpose of checking creditworthiness of you); and
