5. Ordering and payment

5.1 Money Back Guarantee.  This section does not apply to any CrashPlan for Small Business Offering. If you are not completely satisfied with your initial purchase of any Cloud Service Offering, you may terminate that subscription for convenience by providing written notice to CrashPlan during the first 60 days of the Subscription Term. CrashPlan will promptly refund you the amount that CrashPlan received for the unused portion of the Subscription Term for the terminated Offering. This termination right only applies to your initial purchase of a specific Cloud Service Offering (and not to any renewal, staggered deployment or expansion order) and only if you purchased CrashPlan’s deployment services available for the Offering.

5.2 Orders.  You may purchase Offerings directly from CrashPlan or through a CrashPlan authorized reseller. Purchase orders do not need to be signed to be valid and enforceable. No non-negotiated terms or conditions of any Order, purchase order, invoice, acknowledgment or other business form used in connection with any purchase from CrashPlan (including subsequent purchases from CrashPlan of additional subscription terms under new agreements) will have any effect on the terms of any agreement regardless of either party’s failure to object to such terms or conditions. Each party rejects all additional or conflicting terms or conditions. No Order is binding on CrashPlan until CrashPlan delivers an ordered Offering to you by making Cloud Services available and sending license keys to the email address associated with your account. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancelable except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

5.3 Reseller Orders.  If you purchase through a CrashPlan authorized reseller, sections 5.4 (Ordering and Payment: Affiliate Orders), 5.5 (Ordering and Payment: Payment), and 5.6 (Ordering and Payment: Taxes) will not apply to that purchase. If CrashPlan provides you a refund under this Agreement, CrashPlan will issue the refund to your authorized reseller. CrashPlan will require the authorized reseller to refund you based on the amount the authorized reseller received from you for the refunded portion of the Offering.

5.4 Affiliate Orders.  Your Affiliates whom you identify in an email sent to CrashPlan at po@crashplan.com may submit Orders as “you” to CrashPlan under this Agreement. You will place Orders with CrashPlan or its Affiliate as indicated on the Quote.

Each party is responsible for its Affiliate’s compliance with this Agreement.

You will pay all fees in the amount and currency specified on your invoice within 30 days of electronic transmission of the invoice to the email address you have provided. You will pay any delinquent amounts within 30 days of CrashPlan’s written notice identifying a delinquency, and if you do not or if you have not paid prior fees in accordance with this section, then CrashPlan may suspend your access to the Offerings and terminate this Agreement.

You will pay or reimburse CrashPlan for all Taxes arising out of the transactions occurring under this Agreement. If you are required to pay or withhold any Tax for payments due under this Agreement, you will gross up your payments to CrashPlan so that CrashPlan receives all sums due in full and free from any deductions.  CrashPlan can rely on the name and address you provide to CrashPlan as being the place of supply for sales tax, income tax, and VAT purposes. If you are tax exempt, you will provide exemption certificates for the applicable taxing authorities.

6. Modifications

This Agreement incorporates by reference all of the documents that this Agreement identifies as applicable to your ordered Offerings (“Ancillary Documents”). Ancillary Documents may include the Documentation, Service Level Agreement, Information Security Addendum, Data Processing Addendum, Support Policy and Offering Descriptions. Because the Offerings are continually evolving, CrashPlan may update any of the Ancillary Documents from time to time, and the Ancillary Document applicable at any time is the then-current version. CrashPlan will provide you with 30 days’ written notice if any update to an Ancillary Document will materially and adversely affect your use of an Offering or CrashPlan’s obligations to you, and in that case you may elect in writing to terminate the affected Offering within 60 days of the notice date. If you terminate the Offering, CrashPlan will refund the amount that CrashPlan received for the unused portion of the Subscription Term for the terminated Offering.

7. Warranties

7.1 Cloud Services Warranty.  CrashPlan warrants that the Cloud Services will substantially conform to the applicable Documentation during the Subscription Term. This warranty only applies if the Cloud Services are used in unmodified form in accordance with the Documentation. CrashPlan will correct any reproducible error that you identify. If CrashPlan determines that it cannot correct the error, CrashPlan will refund to you the amount that CrashPlan received for the unused portion of the Subscription Term after the date you notified CrashPlan of the breach for that Cloud Services Offering, in which case your rights to use the Cloud Service will terminate. CrashPlan will do this at its own expense and as its sole obligation and your sole remedy for breach of this Cloud Services warranty.

7.2 Technical Services Warranty.  CrashPlan warrants that it will perform Technical Services in a workmanlike manner in accordance with the standards of the industry. If you provide written notice to CrashPlan within 10 business days after any alleged breach of this warranty, CrashPlan will correct that breach or terminate that Technical Service and refund to you the amount that CrashPlan received for that Technical Service. CrashPlan will do this at its own expense and as its sole obligation and your sole remedy for breach of this Technical Services warranty.

7.3 The express warranties set forth in section 7 (Warranties) are in lieu of all other warranties. To the extent permitted by law, CrashPlan disclaims all other warranties, whether express, implied or statutory (including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or noninfringement), and any warranties arising from usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance. CrashPlan does not warrant that the Offerings will meet your requirements or that they will be accurate or operate without interruption or error.

Nothing in this section 8.1(B) (Mutual Indemnification: CrashPlan Indemnification) will limit CrashPlan’s obligation under section 8.1(A) (Mutual Indemnification: CrashPlan Indemnification) to defend and indemnify you, provided that you replace any allegedly infringing Software upon CrashPlan’s making alternate Software available to you and you discontinue using any allegedly infringing Software upon receiving CrashPlan’s notice terminating your license to use the Software.

In this section 5.8, the expressions “Consideration”, “GST”, “Input Tax Credit”, “Net Amount”, “Recipient”, “Supply”, “Tax Invoice” and “Taxable Supply” have the meanings given to those expressions in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (“GST Act”), and “Supplier” means any party treated by the GST Act as making a Supply under this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices or other sums payable or Consideration to be provided under or in accordance with this Agreement are exclusive of GST. If GST is imposed on any Supply made under or in accordance with this Agreement, the Recipient of the Taxable Supply must pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on or for the Taxable Supply, subject to the Recipient receiving a valid Tax Invoice in respect of the Supply at or before the time of payment. Payment of the additional amount must be made at the same time and in the same way as payment for the Taxable Supply is required to be made in accordance with this Agreement. If this Agreement requires a party (the “First Party”) to pay for, reimburse, set off or contribute to any expense, loss or outgoing (“Reimbursable Expense”) suffered or incurred by the other party (the “Other Party”), the amount required to be paid, reimbursed, set off or contributed by the First Party will be the sum of: (i) the amount of the Reimbursable Expense net of Input Tax Credits (if any) to which the Other Party is entitled in respect of the Reimbursable Expense (“Net Amount”); and (ii) if the Other Party’s recovery from the First Party is a Taxable Supply, any GST payable in respect of that Supply, such that after the Other Party meets the GST liability, it retains the Net Amount.”

4. Sections 7.3 (Warranties: Disclaimer), 8.1(D) (Mutual Indemnification: CrashPlan Indemnification), and 9 (Limitations of Liability) are each subject to the Australian Consumer Law and to section 7.4 (Warranties: Australian Consumer Law).

5. Supplement section 7 (Warranties) with the following additional section:
“7.4 Australian Consumer Law. The supply of the Offerings under this Agreement may be subject to the Australian Consumer Law, Schedule 2 of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (“Australian Consumer Law”). Where this is the case, the following statement applies in respect of any failure to comply with the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law:

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are 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.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or liability which would otherwise be implied in this Agreement or imposed by law is excluded.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, CrashPlan’s liability for any breach of any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law which cannot be excluded is limited, at CrashPlan’s option, to: (i) in the case of goods, any one or more of the following: (1) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; (2) the repair of the goods; (3) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or (4) the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or (ii) in the case of services: supplying the applicable service again or the payment of the cost of having that service provided again.”

6. Add the following to the end of the last sentence of section 5.2 (Ordering and Payment: Orders):
“ or the Australian Consumer Law.”

7. Replace the first two sentences of section 12.2 (General: Governing Law and Venue) with the following:
“This Agreement is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and any dispute arising out of this Agreement will be exclusively resolved in the courts of New South Wales, Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia, and you and CrashPlan submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.”
