However, BEANIE ’s liability for all such direct loss is capped, in the aggregate, at an amount equivalent to the Fees paid by the Licensee under this Agreement, and which cap is reduced to the extent the Licensee or a Force Majeure Event or a third party caused or was responsible for such loss.

9.3. The goods and services supplied under this Agreement may come with implied non-excludable guarantees which are regulated by the Australian Consumer Law. The extent of the implied guarantees depends on whether the Licensee is a ‘consumer’ of goods or services within the meaning of that term pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law as amended. Where the Licensee is a ‘consumer’ for the purposes of the Australian Consumer Law, BEANIE is required to provide and shall be hereby deemed to have provided the following mandatory statement to the Licensee: “BEANIE ’s goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. The Licensee is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The Licensee is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”

9.4. If the goods or services supplied by BEANIE to the Licensee are supplied to the Licensee as a ‘consumer’ of goods or services within the meaning of that term in the Australian Consumer Law the Licensee will have the benefit of certain non-excludable rights and remedies in respect of the goods or services and nothing in these terms and conditions excludes or restricts or modifies any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy which pursuant to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) is so conferred. However, if the goods or services are subject to a non-excludable condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy implied by the Australian Consumer Law and the goods or services are not ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, then pursuant to s 64A of the Australian Consumer Law, BEANIE limits its liability for breach of any such non-excludable warranty, guarantee, right or remedy implied by the Australian Consumer Law (except in respect of a guarantee implied by sections 51, 52 or 53 of the Australian Consumer Law) or expressly given by BEANIE to the Licensee, in respect of each of the goods and services, where it is fair and reasonable to do so, at the option of BEANIE , to one or more of the following:
(a) if the breach relates to goods:
(i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
(ii) the repair of such goods;
(iii) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
(iv) the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and
(b) if the breach relates to services:
(i) the supplying of the services again; or
(ii) the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

9.5. In order for the Licensee to claim against BEANIE under a non-excludable warranty, guarantee, right or remedy provided by the Australian Consumer Law, or under an express warranty given in respect of the goods or services provided under this Agreement, the Licensee must provide written Notice to BEANIE with documentary evidence substantiating the claim, for BEANIE ’s review, and, in respect of the Software, must continue to use it only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

9.6. Upon receipt of a valid claim from the Licensee under an implied warranty, guarantee, right or remedy provided by the Australian Consumer Law, BEANIE will contact the Licensee to arrange a suitable remedy. The Licensee may claim reasonable expenses incurred in making a valid claim under such a warranty, guarantee, right or remedy by providing documentary evidence of the expenses to BEANIE . The Licensee will be responsible for any expenses incurred in relation to an invalid claim.

9.7. Where BEANIE elects to repair goods, the Licensee agrees that the goods may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired and refurbished parts may be used to repair goods. The Licensee acknowledges that where the goods are repaired and are capable of retaining user-generated data, it is possible that the repair of the goods may result in loss of data.

9.8. Any warranty against defects provided by BEANIE to the Licensee as a ‘consumer’ under the Australian Consumer Law is in addition to other rights and remedies of the Licensee under a law in relation to the goods or services to which the warranty relates.

9.9. Where the Licensee is not a ‘consumer’ for the purposes of the Australian Consumer Law, all conditions, warranties and guarantees implied in this Agreement are excluded, to the extent possible by law.

9.10. The Licensee acknowledges that BEANIE does not claim to have accounting, financial, legal or similar qualifications and any related statements made by BEANIE , whether in writing or oral, are not to be relied upon. The Licensee is responsible for making its own enquiries in this regard. BEANIE makes no representations regarding, and accepts no responsibility for, the suitability, accuracy or legality of any forms produced by the Software. Further, BEANIE assumes no obligation to notify the Licensee of any changes in such suitability, accuracy or legality. If the Licensee requires any change to the Software in order to improve suitability, accuracy or legality, it is the responsibility of the Licensee to notify BEANIE of that requirement, and BEANIE will consider the matter.

10. Indemnity from Licensee

The Licensee warrants that all software, data, materials and information supplied by or on behalf of the Licensee to BEANIE , and all use thereof by BEANIE for the purposes of this Agreement, will not infringe the rights of any person or breach any law or regulation.
