This clause does not excuse an obligation to pay money that is already due. Where such an event prevents us from delivering a Service for a continuous period of more than 30 days, either party may terminate on written notice, and we will refund the unused portion of any Payment made in advance.

the waiver.

and enforceability of the remainder of this agreement is not affected.

(ii) results in the individuals who are in control (as defined in s 50AA of that Act) of that party continuing to have control over the new party.
(l) (Entire Agreement) Subject to any additional terms provided in relation to a particular Service, this agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior negotiation, conduct, arrangement, understanding or agreement, express or implied, in relation to its subject matter.
