16. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

16.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the law applying in Victoria, Australia. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia and courts of appeal from them in respect of any proceedings arising out of or in connection with these Terms. Subject to Section 16.2, each party irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of any legal process on the basis that the process has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16.2 Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Section affects your rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection laws. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. If you are a consumer in California, you retain all rights under the CCPA/CPRA and California law.

The Services are controlled and operated from Australia. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in all locations. If you access the Services from outside Australia, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws. The Services are not directed to or intended for users in jurisdictions where such access, use, or sale would be unlawful or require registration or licensing that we have not obtained. By using the Services, you represent that your use is lawful in your jurisdiction.

16.3 Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at legal@crascit.com and attempt to resolve any dispute informally. This informal dispute resolution process is a mandatory condition precedent to commencing litigation or other formal proceedings. We will make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes amicably within 30 days. If either party initiates formal proceedings without first complying with this requirement, the other party may seek dismissal or stay of those proceedings and may seek to recover reasonable legal costs and expenses incurred in responding to the premature claim.

16.4 Class Action Waiver

To the extent permitted by law, any proceedings to resolve disputes will be conducted on an individual basis, not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Crascit. This class action waiver does not apply where such waivers are prohibited by law.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies or agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Crascit regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.

17.2 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by our authorized representative.

17.3 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if that is not possible, it will be severed from these Terms.

17.4 Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or your rights and obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

17.5 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

17.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms are for the benefit of you and Crascit only and do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

17.7 Notice

We may provide notices to you via email to your registered email address, by posting on the Website, or through the Software. You agree that electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that notices be in writing. Notices to Crascit should be sent to legal@crascit.com or the mailing address provided in Section 18.

17.8 Export Compliance

The Software may be subject to export control laws and regulations. You agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations and will not export, re-export, or transfer the Software to prohibited countries, entities, or persons.

17.9 Government Use

If you are a government entity or using the Services on behalf of a government, the Software is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as those terms are defined in applicable government acquisition regulations, and you have only those rights specified in these Terms.

The relationship between you and Crascit is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchise relationship.
