- For the purposes of this agreement, a company you are associated with means a company you interact with for the purposes of accessing or delivering support, helpdesk or related services.
- Subject to clause 2 and compliance with all the terms of this Agreement, Licorice grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable licence to use the Software as an end user only (User Licence) for the period which you, or a company you are associated with subscribes to use the Licorice software.

- This Agreement and your rights under this Agreement may be terminated at any time by Licorice if:
- you are in breach of this Agreement;
- any licence related to your use of the Software expires and isn’t renewed;
- your use of the Software in the opinion of Licorice will bring it into dispute;

You have no entitlement to software maintenance or support or to receive any Upgrades from us, unless otherwise specified by us in writing.
- You must not modify the Software without our express consent. Licorice is not responsible for any instances where the Software fails to perform as designed because of modifications made by you to the Software.
- Licorice may have minimum requirements of your system (including both hardware, software and integrated services) that must be met for our Software to function correctly and as intended. If your system does not meet these minimum requirements, your use of the Software will be entirely at your own risk, as Licorice may not be able to provide support for unexpected issues or failure of the Software to operate as intended.
- If you offer a suggestion, feedback or concepts that may improve or modify the Software, you agree that such suggestions, feedback or concepts, and any resulting intellectual property that is developed from them, will vest immediately upon creation in Licorice.

- Subject to, clauses 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, you agree that, to the extent permitted by Australian law (or if some other law is applicable because of where you are accessing the Software from, to the extent permitted by that law), Licorice will not be liable in respect of any claim by you (whether contractual, tortious, statutory or otherwise) for any direct, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages or injury including, but not limited to, any loss of profits, contracts, revenue or data arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Software or the provision of any other goods or services under this Agreement and whether as a result of any breach or default, by Licorice. The maximum liability of Licorice under this Agreement for any and all breaches of this Agreement, and for any negligence in relation to this Agreement, will not exceed the licence fees for the Software paid by you or a company you are associated with.

- the payment of the cost of having the relevant goods or services supplied again.
- Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which limit or exclude any term, condition or warranty, express or implied, or the liability of Licorice will apply to the extent permitted by law and will not be construed as excluding, qualifying or limiting your statutory rights or remedies arising by virtue of the breach of any implied term of this Agreement where such exclusion, qualification or limitation would be prohibited by legislation.
- Notwithstanding this clause 4, if you are an Australian consumer (as that term is defined under the Australian Consumer Law), you will be entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure (as that term is defined under the Australian Consumer Law) and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You will also be entitled to have the Software repaired, or your fees refunded (at our sole election) if it fails to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
