(2) Any funds We recover from the sale will be applied to pay any Fees You owe Us, including the Default Action Costs. In the event of excess funds, We will endeavour to return any balance to You within 30 days from the date of finalising Your Account.

Any purported dealing is deemed ineffective.

We may vary this Agreement by giving You at least 28 days’ written notice of the variation pursuant to changes in applicable laws, market conditions and/or legitimate business interests (including for the proper operation, management, refurbishment or redevelopment of the Facility that may require Us to relocate You to another space (of similar dimensions) within the Facility or make any Fee adjustments). If You object to the variation, You may, before the expiration of the specified notice period, terminate this Agreement by giving no less than 24 hours’ written notice to Us.

(e) Severance. If a provision, or part of a provision, in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, void, voidable, or unenforceable, then that provision, or part of a provision, must be read down to the extent necessary to ensure that it is valid and enforceable. Where it is not possible to so read down a provision, or part of a provision, then that provision, or part of a provision, is severable without affecting the validity or enforceability of the rest of this Agreement.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement records the entire agreement between the parties about its subject matter and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings or agreements between them (whether written or verbal).
(g) Jurisdiction. The law of the state in which the Facility is located applies to this Agreement. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction and of the Commonwealth of Australia.
(h) Disputes. If a dispute arises between the parties under this Agreement, the parties must attempt to settle the dispute with one another before instituting any legal proceedings.
