5.7 If a Deliverable fails to meet all of the Acceptance Requirements after being re-submitted by the Supplier to Telstra for acceptance testing in accordance with clause 5.6, Telstra may terminate an SOW, Work Schedule or this Agreement in accordance with clause 18.2(c) without prejudice to any of its rights or remedies.

Supplier Testing

 

5.8 The Supplier must conduct its own testing before providing any Deliverable to Telstra. Such testing must be robust and designed to ensure a Deliverable which is of a high standard of quality.

  (a) any unlawful or negligent act or omission of the Supplier or its employees, agents or subcontractors;

  (d) an Infringement Claim,

but the indemnity shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense is caused by the negligence of Telstra or its officers, employees or agents, save to the extent that they have been caused by the failure of the Supplier to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement.

 

15.2 It is not necessary for Telstra to incur expense or make a payment before enforcing a right of indemnity conferred by this clause 15.1.

Consequential loss

 

15.3 Subject to clauses 15.4 and 15.5 and without prejudice to any liquidated damages provisions stipulated for delay, non-performance or otherwise, neither party is liable to the other under this Agreement, law of tort (including negligence), statute, in equity or otherwise for any kind of indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, even if a party has advised the other party of the possibility of such loss.

 

15.4 However, nothing in clause 15.3 will preclude the recovery by a party against the other of all loss or damage which may fairly and reasonably be considered to arise naturally in the usual course of things from the breach or other act or omission giving rise to the relevant liability (including, without limitation, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, opportunity or loss or corruption of data).

  (b) has already paid the Supplier in relation to the obligation that the Supplier has failed to perform, then any costs, expenses, losses and damages in excess of the proportion of the payment applicable to the obligation, incurred by Telstra in performing that obligation will be a debt due from the Supplier to Telstra.

 

17.3 Telstra will set off any debt from the Supplier arising under this clause or make appropriate adjustments to the Supplier’s invoice for the subsequent month.

 

17.4 This clause 17 does not limit any other remedy which Telstra may have against the Supplier for any breach of this Agreement.
