    1              THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL

    These terms and conditions, together with the Agreement and Schedules hereto, (hereinafter collectively referred to as “this Agreement”) shall constitute the whole of the agreement between I-Sixty and Subscriber relating to the subject matter hereof, notwithstanding anything in Subscriber’s inquiry, specification, acceptance, order or other documentation or discussion to the contrary.

    2.2           No extension of time or waiver or relaxation of any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement, bill of exchange or other document issued or executed pursuant to or in terms of this Agreement, shall operate as an estoppel against either parties hereto in respect of its right under this Agreement, nor shall it operate so as to preclude either of the parties thereafter from exercising its rights strictly in accordance with this Agreement.

    2.3           Either party shall not be bound by any express or implied term, representation, warranty, promise or the like not recorded herein, whether it induced the contract between Subscriber and I-Sixty or not.

    3.2           In the event of any dispute arising as to the amount or calculation of any fee or charge which is payable by Subscriber, the dispute shall be referred for determination to independent auditors.  They shall act as experts and their decision shall be final and binding on I-Sixty and Subscriber.

    3.3           Any amount falling due for payment by Subscriber to I-Sixty in terms of or pursuant to this Agreement which is not paid on its due date shall bear interest calculated from the due date for payment thereof until date of payment, at  the prime rate of Standard Bank from time to time, monthly in arrears.

    4              WARRANTIES

    4.1           Save as expressly set out in this Agreement, I-Sixty does not make any representations nor gives any warranties or guarantees of any nature whatsoever in respect of the Equipment, Software or Services and all warranties which are implied or residual at common law are hereby expressly excluded.

    4.2           Without limitation to the generality of clause 4.1, I-Sixty does not warrant or guarantee that the information transmitted by or available to Subscribers by way of the Services or the Software.

    4.2.1        will be preserved or sustained in their entirety;

    4.2.2        will be suitable for any purpose;

    4.2.3        will be free of inaccuracies or defects or bugs or viruses of any kind;

All references to I-Sixty in this clause 4 and in clause 5 directly below includes I-Sixty Licensor (as defined in Annexure A) and all warranties and liabilities excluded in these clauses apply equally to I-Sixty and its Licensor.

    5              EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

    5.1           Except for any deliberate act or gross negligence on the part of I-Sixty, its servants or agents, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, I-Sixty shall not be liable to Subscriber or any third party for any loss to Subscriber or any third party for any loss or damage of whatsoever nature and/or howsoever arising (including consequential or incidental loss or damage which shall include but shall not be limited to loss to property or of profit, business, goodwill, revenue or anticipated savings) or for any costs, claims or demands of any nature whether asserted against I-Sixty or against Subscriber by any party arising directly or indirectly out of the Equipment, Software or Services, their use, access, withdrawal or suspension or out of any information or materials provided or not provided, as the case may be, by or from their use.

    5.2           Subject to clause 5.1 above, the entire liability of I-Sixty and Subscriber’s exclusive remedy for damages from any cause related to or arising out of this Agreement, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or in delict, will not exceed the aggregate of the fees and charges paid by Subscriber under this Agreement for the period of 12 (twelve) months preceding Subscriber's written notice in terms of clause 7.1.

    5.3           Subscriber hereby indemnifies I-Sixty against and holds I-Sixty harmless from any claim by any third party arising directly or indirectly out of access to or use of the Equipment, Software or Services or information obtained through the use thereof or in respect of any matter for which liability of I-Sixty is excluded in terms of clause 5.1 above.

    5.4           Because of the need to conduct maintenance, repair and/or improvement work from time to time on the technical infrastructure by means of which the Services are provided, the provision of the Services may be suspended from time to time without notice by I-Sixty, and all liability on the part of I-Sixty of any loss or damage (whether directly or consequential) thereby incurred or for any costs, claims, or demands of any nature arising therefrom, is excluded, and the provisions of clause 5.1 above shall apply mutatis mutandis to such exclusion.  Should the provision of the Services be suspended by I-Sixty for the purpose aforementioned for a period in excess of 48 (forty eight) consecutive hours, I-Sixty shall give Subscriber credit in an amount which represents a pro rata portion of Subscriber’s basic monthly subscription fee for the month during which the said suspension occurred.
