Each of us must bear our own costs of the mediation.

Termination 13.1 Without limiting the generality of any other clause in these terms, we may cease to fulfil work in progress or refuse to commence new work for you if you are in breach of any term of an agreement.

Warranties, Guarantees and Liability 5.1 This clause does not apply to a Consumer with the exception that clause 5.4 shall apply where testing services are acquired at a price not exceeding $40,000 and are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption. We will carry out the testing services with due professional care and skill. Other than the warranties contained in 5.2, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties and guarantees expressed or implied by statute, common law, equity, trade, custom or usage or otherwise in relation to the provision of the Services, are expressly excluded.

If any provision or part of it cannot be so interpreted, the provision or part of it will be severed from these conditions and the remaining provisions of these conditions continue in force. Where you comprise two or more persons, an agreement or obligation to be performed or observed by you binds those persons jointly and each of them severally. (a) (b) 5.5 15.2 16. Sub-contracting We may, after notifying you, sub-contract all or part of the testing services to an external laboratory.
