    14. Limitation of liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither LeasePlan nor its affiliates, subsidiaries, related bodies corporate, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors or assigns (collectively LeasePlan's Related Bodies) will be liable for any damages, economic loss or other loss whatsoever arising out of, or in any way related to, the use or access of the Platforms or the Material.  This limitation applies to direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, punitive or any other losses or damages that you or others may suffer, as well as damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, business interruption or the loss of data or information.

    Nothing in this User Agreement should be interpreted as attempting to exclude, restrict or modify your rights to make a claim in respect of any consumer guarantees or other applicable provisions of the Australian Consumer Law.  If you are a Consumer for the purposes of section 3 of the Australian Consumer Law and the goods and services which LeasePlan provides to you in respect of your access to and use of the Platforms are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, then LeasePlan’s liability to you in relation to any claim relating to your access and use of this Platforms or otherwise arising under or in connection with this User Agreement is limited, at LeasePlan’s election and discretion to:
     
    • in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and
    • in the case of services, the supplying of the services again or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
       
    If you are not a Consumer for the purposes of section 3 of the Australian Consumer Law or in respect of all claims or causes of action other than claims or causes of action for breach of the consumer guarantees, to the extent permitted by law, LeasePlan excludes all liability for any loss incurred by you, however caused (including by LeasePlan’s negligence), suffered by you in connection with your access and use of the Platforms or the Material.

    The above limitation of LeasePlan's liability applies whether the claim is in contract, tort (including without limitation, negligence) or equity and even if LeasePlan has been notified of the possibility of such loss or damage.  You agree that LeasePlan's and LeasePlan's Related Bodies' liability, if any, to you at law will be reduced by the extent, if any, to which you contributed to the loss.

    To the extent permitted by law, all claims arising under or in connection with this User Agreement, the Platforms or the Material must be commenced within 1 year of the relevant events giving rise to the claim first occurring and all claims not commenced within such period are absolutely and forever barred.

    20. General

    The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (known as the Vienna Sales Convention 1980) is excluded from this User Agreement.

    This User Agreement is not subject to any terms proposed by you unless those terms are expressly accepted by LeasePlan in writing.

    Failure of either party to enforce any rights it has under this User Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of those rights, nor a limitation on the party's ability to subsequently exercise those rights.

    This User Agreement is to be read in conjunction with an Other Agreement and any transaction contemplated under the Other Agreement which may be conducted via the Platforms will be governed by the terms of this User Agreement and the applicable Other Agreement.  However, except to the extent required to give effect to this clause, the terms of an Other Agreement will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency between this User Agreement and the terms of the Other Agreement.

    If any provision of this User Agreement is held to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then that provision is severed to the minimum extent required, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

    No provision of this User Agreement will be construed to the disadvantage of LeasePlan merely because LeasePlan was responsible for the preparation of the User Agreement or the inclusion of the provision in the User Agreement.
