Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights that you have under existing laws or regulations and codes, including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and fair trading laws. The Streamotion Service provided to you under these Terms comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law set out in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

52. Where permitted under local law, including the Australian Consumer Law, the liability, excluding any liability arising from gross negligence, wilful misconduct and/or fraud, of Streamotion, its related bodies corporate, suppliers, agents and contractors for any breach of a term or condition implied by law is limited at Streamotion’s discretion, to the supply of any service again or the payment of the cost of having any service supplied again. However, Streamotion cannot limit its liability in this manner if you establish that it would not be fair or reasonable for Streamotion to do so.
53. Except where we have breached any of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable legislation which cannot be lawfully excluded or limited, we are not responsible in any way for any indirect or consequential loss that arises out of or in connection with this Agreement, the or the Streamotion Service.
54. The information within a Streamotion Service is not comprehensive and is intended only to provide a summary of the subject matter covered.

You must make your own assessment of it and rely on it wholly at your own risk.
55. In addition to any rights against you that we may have under these Terms, you will be liable to Streamotion and must keep us, our related bodies corporate, suppliers, agents and contractors indemnified against any loss, cost, expenses, damage or other liability (including legal costs on a solicitor/client basis) arising out of any claim or demand against us by you or any person other than you, which arises from or is connected with our supply or removal of a Streamotion Service to you or your use of a Streamotion Service, unless and to the extent that any loss, cost, expense, damage or other liability is caused by or contributed to our, our related bodies’, suppliers’, agents’ or contractors’ wilful default, negligence or breach of these Terms or any law.
56. You agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless Streamotion and its related bodies corporate, suppliers, agents and contractors against any and all liabilities, claims (actual, threatened or potential), loss (including consequential loss) and damage incurred in connection with and arising from:
a) your use of or access to a Streamotion Service in breach of these Terms; or
b) User Generated Material which you post, upload, communicate or otherwise make available.
This indemnity will survive these Terms and your use of the Streamotion Services.
