Geek Free and/or its third party providers (as the case may be) own all rights (including intellectual property rights) title and interest in and to the Services, documentation, materials, know how, ideas or concepts supplied or made available to you under or in relation to this Agreement (collectively called “Geek Free IP”). All: (a) new intellectual property created by or on behalf of Geek Free under or in relation to this Agreement; and (b) modifications, adaptations, developments or improvements to any Geek Free IP created by either party under or in relation to this Agreement, shall, as it is created, become the sole and exclusive property of Geek Free. You shall do all acts and things that are reasonably necessary to give effect to this clause 6.
2. Your Content. Subject to clause 6.1, the intellectual property rights in Your Content remain with you and/or your providers (as the case may be). You grant, and must ensure that all relevant third parties grant, to Geek Free, at no charge, a licence to use, analyse, modify, adapt, develop and display Your Content, and grant sublicenses of any of those rights to other persons, for:
a. any purpose related to this Agreement, including to enable Geek Free and its suppliers to provide the Services; and/or
b. any purpose for which you supplied Your Content to Geek Free.
3. Know how. Notwithstanding clause 6.2, Geek Free may freely use in any way any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques which it learns from you or your providers as a consequence of providing the Services, provided that such use does not breach clause 10.2 (Confidentiality).
4. Other than as set out in these Terms and Conditions neither party obtains under this Agreement any rights, title or interest in any of the other party’s, or any third party’s, intellectual property.
7. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
1. Geek Free’s warranty. Geek Free warrants that it will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Services will remain in substantial conformance with the Service Description.
2. Nature of the Services. Because of the nature of the Services, the Internet, and the involvement of third parties, Geek Free cannot always control access to or the quality of Your Website, or the Services. Also, at times a Service may be unavailable so that maintenance or other work can be carried out. Therefore, in supplying the Services Geek Free does not represent or warrant that:
a. they will be completely secure (even when Geek Free supplies security related services); uninterrupted or error free; or always accessible or available (including at a certain level or charge); or
b. all problems can or will be corrected.
3. Further, you acknowledge and agree that the actions or inactions of third parties may also have a detrimental effect on the Services you receive, and that Geek Free is not liable or responsible for such effects. Furthermore, Geek Free is not responsible for any websites, services or products that you may use to conduct the operation of your site as may be recommended by Geek Free including but not limited to Google tools, Mail Chimp and Paypal. Any fees or charges from these websites or businesses are your responsibility.
4. Loss or damage to Your Content. While Geek Free will endeavour to avoid damaging or losing Your Content when performing the Services, Geek Free does not promise or represent that Your Content will never be lost or damaged in the provision of the Services. However, should Geek Free be solely responsible for the loss of, or damage to, Your Content, Geek Free will assist with the republishing of Your Content on Your Website at no additional cost, provided you provide us with copies of Your Content (see clause 4.4).
5. Third party software. Sometimes in providing you with Services Geek Free will supply, make available, use or recommend to you products, services, software, documentation or information that are not Geek Free’s (“Third Party Products”). For example, Geek Free might supply or make available to you some third party software (including patches), or use a third party service provider when providing you with hosting services. However, because Geek Free didn’t design and doesn’t fully control these Third Party Products it does not take any responsibility or liability (however arising) for any Third Party Products (including their suitability, compatibility, quality, availability, timeliness and freedom from harmful things such as viruses).
6. Extra Terms. The providers of Third Party Products may require you to comply with their terms and conditions (“Extra Terms”). These Extra Terms are either freely available or Geek Free will make them available to you. You agree to abide by the Extra Terms. If required by the Extra Terms, Geek Free will supply to you, or direct you to, the source code to any Third Party Products. Unless Geek Free tells you otherwise in writing, any Services provided in respect of Third Party Products are offered solely by Geek Free and not anyone else.
7. Third party warranties. The providers of Third Party Products may give their own warranties and remedies.   If there is any problem with any Third Party Products you agree to pursue a remedy solely against that provider and not Geek Free.
8. Consumer Guarantees Act. You are acquiring the Services for the purposes of a business and accordingly the provisions of the Consumers Guarantees Act 1993 do not apply.
9. Excluded warranties. Except as set out in this Agreement, all representations and warranties, express or implied, are excluded to the maximum extent allowed by law. 
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
1. Geek Free and its Related Parties will not be liable to you, or any third party, for any:
a. loss or damage to information or data from any cause;
b. breach of security or privacy;
c. loss of profit, opportunity or saving;
d. delay or failure in the supply of Your Website;
e. lapse in, or cancellation of, the registration of your domain name; or
f. incidental, indirect, special or consequential loss or damage.
2. In any event, if Geek Free or its Related Parties are liable to you for any reason, and that liability has not otherwise been excluded by this Agreement, then the maximum aggregate liability of Geek Free and its Related Parties to you arising out of all claims for loss and/or damages under or in relation to this Agreement for any cause will under no circumstances exceed the value of the fees paid by you to Geek Free in the 12 months prior to the time that any liability first arises.
3. The limitations and exclusions of liability in this Agreement shall apply however liability arises, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise.
4. Geek Free will not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay to perform its obligations due to any event, circumstance or person beyond its reasonable control or any failure by you to perform any of your obligations under this Agreement. In such circumstances, and without limiting any other right or remedy of Geek Free, Geek Free is entitled to recover from you any reasonable additional costs of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.
9. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
1. Right to suspend Service. Geek Free is entitled to restrict or suspend all or any part of the Services immediately if: (a) deemed reasonably necessary by Geek Free in order to protect the proper interests of Geek Free or of its other customers; (b) you are behind in your payment of Geek Free’s Charges; or (c) you are in breach of this Agreement. If practicable and depending on the nature of the reason for such restriction or suspension, Geek Free may, in its absolute discretion, give you an opportunity to remedy the situation. In such case, if you remedy the situation, Geek Free will promptly restore the Services. During any period of restriction or suspension you are still obligated to pay Geek Free’s Charges on the terms set out in clause 5.4 (Payment terms) and reinstallation costs if any. This right of restriction and suspension is in addition to, and does not prejudice, any other right or remedy that Geek Free may have under or in relation to this Agreement.
2. Geek Free’s right to terminate immediately. Geek Free may terminate all or any part of this Agreement immediately by notice in writing if:
a. any Charges owing to Geek Free are overdue by more than 20 working days;

6. Payment on termination. If Geek Free becomes entitled to terminate this Agreement for any reason, any sums then due to Geek Free will immediately become payable in full.
7. Effect of termination
a. Termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall not relieve either party from any right, liability, or claim that has accrued before the date of termination or cancellation; or
b. Termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall not affect the provisions of this Agreement which expressly, or by their nature, survive termination or cancellation (including clauses 7.4 (Third party software), 7.5 (Extra Terms), 4.9 (Indemnity), 6 (Intellectual Property), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Suspension and Termination), 10 (General).

8. Your Website on termination. In the event of termination for any reason, Your Website will be permanently deleted and will no longer be made accessible on the Internet by Geek Free. Geek Free will delete Your Content within a reasonable period (usually 90 days). However, on request by you and provided you have paid all Charges owing to Geek Free, Geek Free will use its reasonable endeavours to supply you with Your Content at your own cost (such costs will not apply in the event that Geek Free goes into liquidation, receivership or bankruptcy).
10. GENERAL
1. Disputes. The parties will initially try to resolve by negotiation any dispute arising between them in relation to this Agreement. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute by negotiation, they will try to resolve it by mediation before resorting to arbitration. Either party may initiate mediation by giving written notice to the other (“Notice to Mediate”). Both parties must agree on the mediator, but if the parties cannot agree then the mediator will be selected by LEADR New Zealand Incorporated (Lawyers Engaged in Alternative Dispute Resolution) or its successor. Before the mediation starts, both parties and the mediator must sign a mediation agreement in a form agreed by all parties (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld). If dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the Notice to Mediate, either party may require the dispute to be resolved by arbitration under the Abitration Act 1996 (excluding clauses 4 and 5 of the Second Schedule to that Act) to be held at Wellington. Both parties will proceed expeditiously to undertake the arbitration. The award in the arbitration will be final and binding. Neither party may resort to legal proceedings (except where that party seeks urgent interlocutory relief) unless it has taken all reasonable steps to comply with this clause 10.1.
2. Confidentiality. Each party will keep confidential all information obtained from the other party, in any form, that is confidential in nature, or expressed to be confidential, (“Confidential Information”), and will not disclose that information to a third party, nor use that information other than for the purposes of this Agreement, without the consent of the other party. Confidential Information includes this Agreement. Each party shall ensure that its employees, subcontractors and agents abide by these obligations of confidentiality. A party is not required to comply with this clause 10.2 to the extent that the Confidential Information: is clearly required to be disclosed by law; was already in that party’s possession at the time the Confidential Information was obtained from the other party; is generally known and available by the public without that party having breached its obligations under this clause; was disclosed to it by a third party who has the right to make such disclosure; or has been independently developed without the benefit or use of the other party’s Confidential Information. Nothing in this clause 10.2 shall prevent a party from exercising or enjoying the rights to intellectual property that it owns, or is granted, under clause 6 (Intellectual Property).
3. Subcontracting etc. You may only subcontract or assign any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement with the prior written consent of Geek Free, which Geek Free will not unreasonably withhold. Geek Free may subcontract or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement on written notice to you.
4. Variations. Any variation to this Agreement will only be effective if it is effected under clause 1.3 or is otherwise agreed in writing and signed by the General Manager (or equivalent) of Geek Free or published on the Geek Free Website. It is your obligation to ensure that you have read, understood and agree to the most recent terms available on the Geek Free Website.
5. Notices. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice given under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered by fax or pre-paid post to the addresses on the Order Form or to any other address notified in writing by either party to the other for the purpose of receiving notices.
6. Contact. You give permission to Geek Free to send from time to time information that Geek Free believes may be of interest to you by electronic means or by physical mail.
7. Interpretation. In this Agreement, words in the singular number include the plural, and vice versa. Any examples in this Agreement, and references to “including” and similar words, do not imply any limitations. Headings are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
8. Definitions. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, terms defined anywhere in this Agreement shall have the defined meaning throughout this Agreement.
9. Relationship of the parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute either party as the partner or agent of, or in a joint venture with, the other party.
10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any associated Order Forms constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, arrangements, understandings or representations relating to that subject matter and any additional or different terms that you may provide to Geek Free. A waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the General Manager (or equivalent) of Geek Free.
11. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable the validity, existence, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected, prejudiced or impaired.
