The information and classes of information set out in the Particulars are Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement. In default, information relating to the business operations, personal information and other information that should be confidential is Confidential Information.

 

Each party acknowledges and agrees that:

 

the Confidential Information is secret, confidential and valuable to the disclosing party (Discloser);

 

it owes an obligation of confidence to the Discloser concerning the Confidential Information;

any actual, suspected, likely or threatened breach of a term of this Agreement; or 

 

any theft, loss, damage or unauthorised access, use or disclosure of or to any Confidential Information that is or was in its possession or control.

Certain rights and remedies may be available under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or similar legislation of other States or Territories and may not be permitted to be excluded, restricted or modified.  Apart from those that cannot be excluded, Neutopia and Neutopia’s related entities exclude all conditions and warranties that may be implied by law.  To the extent permitted by law, Neutopia’s liability for breach of any implied warranty or condition that cannot be excluded is restricted, at Neutopia’s option to:

Court proceedings. A party may not commence court proceedings in relation to a dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement until it has exhausted the procedures in this clause 14.1 unless the party seeks appropriate injunctive or other interlocutory relief to preserve property or rights or to avoid losses that damages are inadequate to compensate.

 

 

The words in this clause that are defined in the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) have the same meaning.
