     110            component of such Products and such Products do not provide for 
     111            the Software to be directly accessed and utilised in its own 
     112            right. 
     113 
     114         2. The Licence shall not entitle the Licensee to have access to the 
     115            Source Code in respect of the Software or to create or to attempt 
     116            to create the same. 
     117

     135 
     136         1. In the event that the Licensee uses the Software only for their 
     137            own personal use or where the Products are distributed for free 
     138            in a Very Low Volume, the Licensee will not be required to pay a 
     139            Licence Fee to the Licensor but in return for the benefit the 
     140            Licensee receives from using the Software the Licensee 
     141            acknowledges that they will at all times still be bound by the 
     142            terms of this Agreement. 
     143 
     144         2. In the event that the Licensee incorporates the Software into 
     145            Products, but such Products are sold in Very Low Volume, the 
     146            Licensee will only be required to pay a Licence Fee of two  
     147            hundred and fifty United States dollars ($250.00 USD). 
     148 
     149         3. To qualify for the Licence Fee exception pursuant to clause 5.1 
     150            or the Licence Fee outlined in clause 5.2, the Licensee must also 
     151            ensure that:

     157                  Products that are of a shareware or hobby type nature and 
     158                  which if sold are sold for ten New Zealand dollars or less 
     159                  ($NZ10.00); and 
     160 
     161               3. they obtain the approval of the Licensor that the Project 
     162                  to which the Licence is to apply comes within the terms of 
     163                  clauses 5.1 or 5.2 as applicable and clauses 5.3.1 and 
     164                  5.3.2. 
     165 
     166         4. In the event that the Licensee incorporates the Software into 
     167            Products which are sold or distributed for free in any volumes 
     168            greater than Very Low Volumes the Licensee will be required to 
     169            pay a Licence Fee of three thousand United States dollars ($3000.00 USD). 
     170 
     171         5. It is the Licensee's responsibility to ensure they have paid any 
     172            applicable Licence Fee provided for in clauses 5.2 and 5.4 prior 
     173            to making any use of the Software. Once paid the Licence Fee is 
     174            non-refundable and the Licensor may terminate or suspend any 
     175            Licence granted pursuant to this Agreement immediately on notice 
     176            to the Licensee in the event any applicable Licence Fees due as 
     177            defined in clauses 5.2 and 5.4 are unpaid and the Licensee will 
     178            also indemnify the Licensor on demand for any direct and indirect 
     179            costs of any nature whatsoever reasonably incurred by the 
     180            Licensor in the course of securing the payment of any such unpaid 
     181            Licence Fees. 
     182 
     183         6. The Licensee shall pay the Licence Fee to the Licensor by way of 
     184            credit card payment in the manner provided for via the Website. 
     185 
     186         7. The Licence Fee is exclusive of any applicable Taxes including 
     187            without limitation Goods and Services Tax ("GST") pursuant to the 
     188            Goods and Services Tax Act 1985. 
     189 
     190         8. Notwithstanding clause 5.7 in the event that the Licensee is or 
     191            becomes liable to pay or otherwise account for any Taxes, the 
     192            payment of any amounts due under this Agreement will be adjusted 
     193            to ensure that after the payment or accounting for of such Taxes 
     194            the Licensor will receive the original amount that was due to it 
     195            under this Agreement.

     211          to duplicate the Error, following which the Licensor will provide 
     212          Error Correction in respect of the Error. 
     213 
     214       4. Exclusions: 
     215

     221           the Licensor; 
     222 
     223        ii. incorrect or unauthorised use of the Software or operator error

     231            with any Equipment which is not approved in writing by the 
     232            Licensor or in conjunction with any other software which is not 
     233            approved in writing by the Licensor;

     235        v. any software or programs other than the Software; 
     236 
     237        vi. any other of the Licensee's computer hardware, other equipment,

     241             substitution for the previous release any new release of the 
     242             Software which includes updates or bug fixes in respect of the 
     243             Licensee's version of the Software within 90 days of such new 
     244             release of the Software being available for download from the 
     245             Website. 
     246 
     247     1. The Licensor will respond to any Support Request by email within 48 
     248        hours of its receipt and will attempt to provide the required Support 
     249        and Maintenance Services within the same time period. 
     250 
     251     2. In addition to making use of the Support and Maintenance Services 
     252        provided for in clauses 7.1 and 7.2 the Licensee is also entitled to 
     253        make use of the Forums on such the terms and conditions as are 
     254        specified on the Website from time to time in respect of use of the 
     255        Forums. 
     256 
     257     3. Notwithstanding clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, the Licensee acknowledges 
     258        that in the event they are not required to pay a Licence Fee as 
     259        provided for by clause 5.1, the Licensee will not be entitled to make 
     260        use of the Support and Maintenance Services as described in clauses 
     261        7.1 and 7.2 but will be entitled to make use of the Forums as 
     262        provided for by clause 7.3. 
     263 
     264    8. New Releases 
     265 
     266     1. During the Term the Licensor shall notify the Licensee by email, 
     267        where the Licensee has registered on the Website to receive such 
     268        notification, of any new release of the Software that is available 
     269        for download from the Website. 
     270 
     271     2. Notwithstanding clause 8.1, although the Licensee will be entitled to 
     272        download any new releases of the Software as part of the Support and 
     273        Maintenance Services, for the avoidance of doubt the Licensee will 
     274        not be entitled to download and use any later version of the Software 
     275        without paying a further applicable Licence Fee as defined in clauses 
     276        5.2 and 5.4 in respect of that new version of the Software. 
     277 
     278     3. In the event of any confusion as to whether a new release of the 
     279        Software is actually a new version of the Software the Licensor's 
     280        decision shall be final. 
     281 
     282     1. The Licensor may from time to time, acting entirely at its own 
     283        discretion, make such modifications to the current release of the 
     284        Software as shall ensure that the current release conforms to any 
     285        legal requirements or change of legislation. In the event that the 
     286        Licensor acting reasonably does not believe that it is technically 
     287        possible or commercially justifiable for it to make such 
     288        modifications then the Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this 
     289        Agreement on 30 days written notice to the Licensee. Where the 
     290        Licensor does make modifications to the current release of the 
     291        Software ("Modified Software") in accordance with the terms of this 
     292        Agreement, the Licensor shall make such Modified Software available 
     293        for download from the Website. The Licensee shall be required to as 
     294        soon as reasonably possible adopt such Modified Software. Failure by 
     295        the Licensee to adopt such Modified Software within 90 days of any 
     296        such new release of the Software being made available for download 
     297        from the Website, shall entitle the Licensor to terminate this 
     298        Agreement immediately on written notice to the Licensee. 
     299 
     300     2. Any new release of the Software or Modified Software adopted by the 
     301        Licensee shall become the current release and the provisions of this 
     302        Agreement shall apply accordingly. 
     303 
     304    9. Licensee's Obligations 
     305 
     306         1. The Licensee shall operate the Software in accordance with the 
     307            Specification and Documentation.

     311         1. If the Software within the Licensee's control pursuant to the 
     312            Licence is modified or altered by the Licensee, the Licensee will 
     313            fully indemnify the Licensor against all liability which may be 
     314            incurred by the Licensor if such modifications or alterations 
     315            infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of a third person or 
     316            otherwise cause the Licensor to suffer loss, damages or expense. 
     317 
     318         2. The Software within the Licensee's control pursuant to the 
     319            Licence remains the property of the Licensor in all respects. 
     320 
     321   11. Security and Control 
     322 
     323         1. The Licensee shall during the continuance of the Licence effect 
     324            and maintain security measures in accordance with accepted 
     325            industry standards to safeguard the Software from access or use 
     326            by any unauthorised person. 
     327 
     328   12. Proprietary Rights 
     329 
     330         1. The Product Materials and the Intellectual Property Rights of 
     331            whatever nature in the Product Materials (excluding any third 
     332            party rights in respect of Third Party Software) are and shall 
     333            remain the property of the Licensor. 
     334 
     335         2. The Licensee shall notify the Licensor immediately if the 
     336            Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the whole or 
     337            any part of the Product Materials by any person. 
     338 
     339         3. The Third Party Software at all times remains the property of the 
     340            applicable third party and the Licensee's use of such Third Party 
     341            Software is at all times governed by the provisions of any 
     342            applicable licence relating to any such Third Party Software. 
     343 
     344   13. Intellectual Property Rights 
     345 
     346         1. The Licensee acknowledges that the Licence granted pursuant to 
     347            clause 2 does not grant any transfer of title or ownership to the 
     348            Licensee of any Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights including 
     349            without limitation in the Product Materials. The Licensee's right 
     350            to use the Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights as provided 
     351            for in this Agreement will cease upon the termination of this 
     352            Agreement or as otherwise provided for in this clause 13. 
     353 
     354         2. The Licensee acknowledges that the grant of the Licence or any 
     355            other terms of this Agreement do not in any way confer any right 
     356            or licence upon the Licensee to use, exploit or otherwise utilise 
     357            any rights relating to the Licensor's Intellectual Property 
     358            Rights other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
     359 
     360         3. The Licensee agrees not to represent in any way that it has any 
     361            title, right or interest in the ownership of the Licensor's 
     362            Intellectual Property Rights nor do anything which might be 
     363            contrary to the rights or interest of the Licensor in its 
     364            Intellectual Property Rights nor seek to apply to register in its 
     365            own name or that of any third party any part of the Licensor's 
     366            Intellectual Property Rights and will assist the Licensor in any 
     367            application to register any such Intellectual Property Rights 
     368            belonging to the Licensor at the cost of the Licensor. 
     369 
     370         4. The Licensee agrees with the Licensor that it will notify the 
     371            Licensor in writing as soon as practicable of any infringement, 
     372            suspected infringement or alleged infringement relating to the 
     373            Licensor's Intellectual Property Rights which comes to its 
     374            knowledge provided that the Licensee will be deemed to have 
     375            knowledge of any infringement, suspected infringement or alleged 
     376            infringement if such infringement would have come to the 
     377            Licensee's knowledge but for any negligence or wilful misconduct 
     378            on the part of the Licensee. 
     379 
     380         5. In the event that proceedings are brought or threatened by a 
     381            third party against the Licensee or the Licensor, alleging that 
     382            the Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an 
     383            infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, the 
     384            Licensor may at its option and at its own expense conduct the 
     385            defence of such proceedings. As requested by the Licensor the 
     386            Licensee shall provide all necessary co-operation, information 
     387            and assistance to the Licensor in the conduct of the defence of 
     388            such proceedings. 
     389 
     390         6. In the circumstances provided for in clause 13.5, but also where 
     391            the Licensor acting entirely at its own discretion believes that 
     392            there is a reasonable likelihood that infringement may currently 
     393            exist or is likely to occur, the Licensee agrees with the 
     394            Licensor that it will permit the Licensor, acting entirely in the 
     395            Licensor's discretion to; 
     396 
     397       1. modify, alter or substitute the infringing or potentially 
     398          infringing part of the Product Materials, at the Licensor's expense 
     399          in order to avoid the infringement or potential infringement; or 
     400 
     401       5. procure for the Licensee the authority to continue with the use and 
     402          possession of the infringing or potentially infringing part of the 
     403          Product Materials. 
     404 
     405     7. If the remedies set out in clause 13.6 above are not in the 
     406        Licensor's opinion reasonably available, then the Licensor shall be 
     407        entitled to terminate the Licence and this Agreement immediately on 
     408        written notice to the Licensee at which point the Licensee shall 
     409        destroy all copies of the Product Materials within its possession and 
     410        provide a written certificate from one of the Licensee's directors to 
     411        the Licensor that such copies have been destroyed provided that the 
     412        Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon the Licensee's premises to 
     413        repossess any copies of the Product Materials in the possession, 
     414        custody or control of the Licensee not returned or destroyed as 
     415        provided for above. 
     416 
     417     8. The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor will have no obligation 
     418        to indemnify the Licensee against any damages, costs and losses 
     419        incurred by the Licensee whether direct or consequential (including 
     420        but without limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, 
     421        profits, business or goodwill) in connection with any proceedings 
     422        bought by a third party against the Licensee alleging that the 
     423        Licensee's use of the Product Materials constitutes an infringement 
     424        of that third party's Intellectual Property Rights. 
     425 
     426     9. The Licensee shall indemnify the Licensor against any loss, costs, 
     427        expenses, demands or liability, whether direct or indirect, arising 
     428        out of a claim by a third party pursuant to clause 13.5 where: 
     429 
     430       1. the claim arises from: 
     431 
     432        b. use of the Product Materials in combination with any equipment or 
     433           programs where such use is not authorised by the terms of this 
     434           Agreement or otherwise approved by the Licensor; 
     435 
     436        c. use of the Product Materials in a manner or for a purpose not 
     437           specifically provided for by this Agreement or authorised by the 
     438           Licensor; 
     439 
     440        d. modification or alteration of the Product Materials by the 
     441           Licensee or any third party on behalf of the Licensee; and 
     442 
     443        e. any transaction entered into by the Licensee relating to the 
     444           Product Materials without the Licensor's prior consent in writing 
     445           which is not otherwise authorised by the terms of this Agreement; 
     446           or 
     447 
     448       6. the ability of the Licensor to defend the claim has been prejudiced 
     449          by the failure of the Licensee to comply with any requirements of 
     450          clauses 13.4, 13.5 or 13.6. 
     451 
     452    10. The Licensee acknowledges that the Licensor is in no way liable to 
     453        the Licensee in respect of any liability arising from the Licensee's 
     454        use of any Third Party Software and the Licensee agrees to indemnify 
     455        the Licensor on demand in the event of any liability suffered by the 
     456        Licensor arising from the Licensee's use of the Third Party Software. 
     457 
     458   14. Warranties 
     459 
     460         1. To the fullest extent permitted at law, the Licensor: 
     461 
     462       1. disclaims all warranties with respect to the Software, either 
     463          express or implied, including but not limited to any implied 
     464          warranties relating to quality, fitness for any particular purpose 
     465          or ability to achieve a particular result; 
     466 
     467       7. makes no warranty that the Software is error free or that use of 
     468          the Software will be uninterrupted and the Licensee acknowledges 
     469          and agrees that the existence of such errors shall not constitute a 
     470          breach of this Agreement; and 
     471 
     472       8. does not give any warranty in respect of the Third Party Software. 
     473 
     474     2. The Licensee agrees that its sole remedy in respect of any 
     475        non-conformance with any warranty that can not be excluded pursuant 
     476        to clause 14.1 is that the Licensor will remedy such non-conformance 
     477        (either by itself or through a third party) and if, in the Licensor's 
     478        reasonable opinion, it is unable to remedy such non-conformance, the 
     479        Licensor shall be entitled to terminate the Licence and this 
     480        Agreement immediately on written notice to the Licensee at which 
     481        point the Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product Materials 
     482        within its possession and provide a written certificate from one of 
     483        the Licensee's directors to the Licensor that such copies have been 
     484        destroyed provided that the Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon 
     485        the Licensee's premises to repossess any copies of the Product 
     486        Materials in the possession, custody or control of the Licensee not 
     487        returned or destroyed as provided for above. 
     488 
     489     3. The Licensee will not disable or alter the display of the Software 
     490        logo, as such is incorporated into any Products or generally 
     491        displayed as a result of the use of the Software. 
     492 
     493   15. Liability 
     494 
     495         1. Except as provided for in clauses 13.9, 15.2, 15.3, 15.5 and 15.6 
     496            and to the greatest extent permitted at law, under no 
     497            circumstances will either party ("the first party"), its 
     498            employees or its agents be liable to the other party ("the second 
     499            party") in contract, tort, equity, statute, regulation or 
     500            otherwise for any loss, damage, costs, legal costs, professional 
     501            and other expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered 
     502            by the second party, or by any other third party, whether direct 
     503            or consequential (including but without limitation any economic 
     504            loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill) 
     505            arising out of any dispute or contractual, tortuous or other 
     506            claims or proceedings bought by the second party or which are 
     507            alternatively bought against the second party as a result of the 
     508            second party's breach of this Agreement. 
     509 
     510         2. Clause 15.1 shall not exclude any liability of the first party to 
     511            the second party which arises from: 
     512 
     513       1. wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the first 
     514          party; 
     515 
     516       9. where the Licensee is the first party, any act or omission by any 
     517          persons to whom the Licensee is permitted to disclose Information 
     518          (as defined in clause 16.1) as set out in this Agreement, which, if 
     519          done or omitted to be done by the Licensee, would be a breach of 
     520          the Licensee's obligations under this Agreement, 
     521 
     522   and in respect of which the first party will indemnify the second party. 
     523 
     524     3. In the event that any limitation or provision contained in this 
     525        Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason and 
     526        the first party becomes liable for loss or damage that would 
     527        otherwise have been excluded, to the greatest extent permitted at 
     528        law, and also in respect of any liability pursuant to clause 15.2, 
     529        the first party's maximum liability to the second party under the 
     530        Agreement shall be limited to an amount equivalent to the Licence Fee 
     531        paid by the Licensee pursuant to this Agreement. 
     532 
     533     4. Notwithstanding clause 15.1, to the greatest extent permitted at law, 
     534        the parties agree that the first party shall not be liable to the 
     535        second party in contract, tort, equity, statute, regulation or 
     536        otherwise for any loss, damage, cost, legal costs, professional and 
     537        other expenses of a consequential nature (including but without 
     538        limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, profits, 
     539        business or goodwill). 
     540 
     541     5. Notwithstanding clauses 15.1, 15.2, 15.3 and 15.4 the liability of 
     542        the Licensee to the licensor shall not be limited in respect of any 
     543        liability arising from the Licensee's breach of the Licensor's 
     544        Intellectual Property Rights or any third party's Intellectual 
     545        Property Rights. 
     546 
     547     6. The parties acknowledge and agree that the limitations contained in 
     548        this clause 15 are reasonable in the light of all the circumstances. 
     549 
     550     7. Where the Licensee is obtaining the Product Materials and Support and 
     551        Maintenance Services for business purposes the Licensee agrees the 
     552        Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply. 
     553 
     554     8. The parties agree that to the greatest extent permitted at law the 
     555        Sale of Goods Act 1908, the United Nations Convention on Contracts 
     556        for the International Sale of Goods (1980) and the Sale of Goods 
     557        (United Nations Convention) Act 1994 will not apply to this 
     558        Agreement. 
     559 
     560   16. Confidential Information 
     561 
     562         1. The Licensee undertakes, except as provided below, to treat as 
     563            confidential and keep secret all information marked 
     564            'confidential' or which may reasonably be supposed to be 
     565            confidential, including, without limitation, information 
     566            contained or embodied in the Product Materials, the Specification 
     567            and other information supplied by the Licensor to the Licensee 
     568            (in this Agreement collectively referred to as 'the Information') 
     569            with the same degree of care as the Licensee employs with regard 
     570            to the Licensee's own confidential information of a like nature 
     571            and in any event in accordance with best current commercial 
     572            security practices, provided that, this clause shall not extend 
     573            to any information which was rightfully in the possession of the 
     574            Licensee prior to the commencement of this Agreement or which is 
     575            already public knowledge or becomes so at a future date 
     576            (otherwise than as a result of a breach of this clause). 
     577 
     578         2. The Licensee shall not without the prior written consent of the 
     579            Licensor divulge any part of the Information to any person 
     580            except: 
     581 
     582       1. to the Licensee's employees and then only to those employees to 
     583          whom it is necessary to make such disclosure in order for the 
     584          Licensee to meet its obligations under this Agreement; 
     585 
     586       2. to such other parties as may be reasonably necessary to enable the 
     587          Licensee to meet its obligations under this Agreement; 
     588 
     589      10. to the Licensee's solicitors, insurers, accountants and auditors; 
     590          and 
     591 
     592      11. where such disclosure is required, pursuant to any law, regulation, 
     593          court order or valid government department or agency legal 
     594          requirement, provided that the Licensee must: 
     595 
     596        a. promptly and if practicable before making the disclosure, notify 
     597           the Licensor of that fact and identify the Information required to 
     598           be so disclosed so that if practicable in the circumstances a 
     599           protective order or other appropriate remedy may be sought; and 
     600 
     601        a. disclose only the minimum Information required to comply with the 
     602           applicable law or order. 
     603 
     604     3. The Licensee undertakes to ensure that persons and bodies referred to 
     605        in clause 16.2 are made aware before the disclosure of any part of 
     606        the Information that the same is confidential and that they owe a 
     607        duty of confidence to the Licensor. 
     608 
     609     4. The Licensee shall promptly notify the Licensor if it becomes aware 
     610        of any breach of confidence by any person to whom the Licensee has 
     611        divulged all or any part of the Information and the Licensee shall 
     612        give the Licensor all reasonable assistance in connection with any 
     613        proceedings which the Licensor may institute against such person for 
     614        breach of confidence. 
     615 
     616     5. The foregoing obligations as to confidentiality shall remain in full 
     617        force and effect notwithstanding any termination of the Licence or 
     618        this Agreement. 
     619 
     620     6. The Licensor shall be entitled to identify the Licensee as a licensee 
     621        of the Products in the Licensor's publicity materials. 
     622 
     623     1. If the Licensor authorises the Licensee to disclose any Information 
     624        to any person the Licensee agrees at the request of the Licensor 
     625        prior to such disclosure to have such person execute an 
     626        acknowledgement to the effect that the Information is disclosed to 
     627        that person in confidence. 
     628 
     629   17. Termination 
     630 
     631     1. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately by notice in 
     632        writing to the other if the other: 
     633 
     634       1. commits a material breach of this Agreement which is not capable of 
     635          remedy; or 
     636 
     637      12. commits a breach of this Agreement which is capable of a remedy, 
     638          and such breach is not remedied within 14 days of receipt by the 
     639          other, of a notice from the innocent party identifying the breach 
     640          and requiring its remedy; or 
     641 
     642      13. is unable to pay its debts or is deemed to be, or enters into 
     643          liquidation (other than with the prior written agreement of the 
     644          other party for the purpose of effecting a reconstruction or 
     645          amalgamation in such manner that the company resulting from such 
     646          reconstruction or amalgamation if a different legal entity agrees 
     647          to be bound by and assume the obligations of the relevant party 
     648          under this Agreement) or compounds with or compromises with or 
     649          convenes a meeting of its creditors or has a receiver appointed 
     650          over all or any part of its assets or takes or suffers any similar 
     651          action in consequence of a debt, or ceases for any reason to carry 
     652          on business. 
     653 
     654     1. For the avoidance of doubt the Licence will be deemed to terminate 
     655        upon the termination of the Agreement and upon the termination of the 
     656        Licence, the Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Product 
     657        Materials within its possession and provide a written certificate 
     658        from one of the Licensee's directors to the Licensor that such copies 
     659        have been destroyed provided that the Licensor shall be entitled to 
     660        enter upon the Licensee's premises to repossess any copies of the 
     661        Product Materials in the possession, custody or control of the 
     662        Licensee not returned or destroyed as provided for above. 
     663 
     664     2. Any termination of the Licence or this Agreement (howsoever 
     665        occasioned) shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of 
     666        either party nor shall it affect the coming into force or the 
     667        continuance in force of any provision in this Agreement which is 
     668        expressly stated as continuing in force on or after such termination. 
     669 
     670   18. Agency, Partnership 
     671 
     672         1. This Agreement shall not constitute or imply any partnership, 
     673            joint venture, agency, fiduciary relationship or other 
     674            relationship between the parties other than the contractual 
     675            relationship expressly provided for in this Agreement.

     682            an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorised officer or 
     683            representative of each of the parties. 
     684 
     685   20. Announcements 
     686 
     687         1. Except where expressly provided for in this Agreement, no party 
     688            shall issue or make any public announcement or disclose any 
     689            information regarding this Agreement unless prior written consent 
     690            has been obtained from the other party. 
     691 
     692   21. Assignment

     698 
     699         1. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and 
     700            undertakings between the parties and constitutes the entire 
     701            agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of 
     702            this Agreement. The parties confirm that they have not entered 
     703            into this Agreement on the basis of any representation that is

     707 
     708         1. Neither party is in breach of this Agreement if its breach is

     710            terrorism, sabotage, civil commotion, insurrection, embargo, 
     711            prevention from or hindrance in obtaining any raw materials, 
     712            energy or other supplies, labour disputes of whatever nature 
     713            including strikes and lockouts, piracy, destruction of essential 
     714            equipment by fire, explosion, storm, flood or earthquake, medical 
     715            epidemic and delay caused by failure of power supplies or 
     716            transport facilities or any other reason beyond the reasonable 
     717            control of a party.

     781 
     782     3. Where there is a dispute, the aggrieved party shall notify the other 
     783        party in writing of the nature of the dispute, with as much detail as 
     784        possible about the deficient performance of the other party. A 
     785        representative from senior management of each of the parties 
     786        ("representatives") shall meet in person or communicate by telephone 
     787        within 5 business days of the date of the written notification in 
     788        order to reach an agreement about the nature of the deficiency and 
     789        the corrective action to be taken by the respective parties.

     791     1. If the dispute pursuant to clause 31.3 cannot be resolved within 10 
     792        business days of the date of the written notification provided for in 
     793        clause 31.3, or if the agreed upon completion dates in any written 
     794        plan of corrective action are exceeded, the parties will refer the 
     795        dispute to a single arbitrator to be chosen by the parties or, if 
     796        they cannot agree, chosen by the President of the New Zealand Law 
     797        Society, or the President's nominee and such arbitration will be 
     798        conducted in New Zealand in accordance with the Rules in Schedules 1 
     799        and 2 of the Arbitration Act 1996. 
     800 
     801     2. The parties must always act in good faith and co-operate with each

     806

     819        jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand for the purposes of hearing 
     820        and determining any dispute arising out of this Agreement. 
     821 
     822     7. Each party recognises that the other party's business relies upon the 
     823        protection of its Intellectual Property Rights and that in the event 
     824        of a breach of Intellectual Property Rights, the other party will be 
     825        caused irreparable damage and such other party may therefore be 
     826        entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in order to prevent 
     827        a breach or threatened breach of its Intellectual Property Rights. 
     828 
     829     8. Notwithstanding clause 31.1 to 31.7 and clause 31.9, the parties 
     830        agree that: 
     831 
     832       1. the Licensor shall have the right to sue to recover any amounts 
     833          owing to it in any jurisdiction in which the Licensee is operating 
     834          or has assets; and 
     835 
     836       1. in the event of any breach or potential breach of its Intellectual 
     837          Property Rights the Licensor shall have the right to sue for breach 
     838          of its Intellectual Property Rights (whether in connection with 
     839          this Agreement or otherwise) in any country where it believes that 
     840          infringement or a breach or potential infringement or breach of 
     841          this Agreement relating to its Intellectual Property Rights is or 
     842          is likely to take place. 
     843 
     844                                   SCHEDULE 1 
     845 
     846                        Specification and Functionality 
     847 
     848   Goal 
     849 
     850   Provide a framework for constructing, displaying, and interacting with 
     851   user interfaces in a C++ application. 
     852 
     853   Overview 
     854 
     855   Interfaces are defined in Rocket Markup Language (RML), a format based on 
     856   HTML, and Rocket Cascading Style Sheets (RCSS), a format based on CSS. The 
     857   RML specifies the content of the interfaces, the RCSS specifies how the 
     858   content will be displayed. 
     859 
     860   Based on the rules specified in the RCSS, each document (which is roughly 
     861   equivalent to a webpage in web terminology, or a window in desktop 
     862   terminology) has its child elements automatically laid out. The layout 
     863   engine will detect when changes occur to the content or styling and 
     864   re-layout when necessary. 
     865 
     866   Elements have event hooks which can be used to send events back to the 
     867   application. 
     868 
     869   Templates for documents can be created from an RML file. New documents can 
     870   read from the template and add their own content. 
     871 
     872   Dynamic data can be handled by a datagrid or a dataselect, by fetching 
     873   their contents from a data source and automatically respond to any changes 
     874   in the data. 
     875 
     876   LibRocket's functionality can be extended by creating custom decorators to 
     877   render elements in a specific way, by creating a custom element, by taking 
     878   advantage of hooks in the XML parser, or by setting custom logging, file, 
     879   render and system handlers. 
     880 
     881   A visual run-time debugger is provided with LibRocket.
