12     CHARGE AND SECURITY INTEREST

12.1 The Customer hereby charges with payment of any indebtedness to Bodyline Imports all legal and beneficial interest (freehold or leasehold) in land and property, other than Personal Property to which the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 applies, held now or in the future by the Customer and upon non-payment of any monies due to the Supplier pursuant to this agreement.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 An agreement between the parties may not be varied without the prior written consent of all parties.

14.2 These Terms are qualified by any law which applies, and which cannot be excluded. If any provision of these Terms is deemed to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provision shall be read down to the extent permitted or severed from these Terms, unless the severance of the provision would materially affect or alter the nature or effect of the obligations of the parties under these Terms, without affecting the enforceability of the other provisions.

14.3 A failure or delay by Bodyline Imports to exercise a power or right under these Terms does not operate as a waiver of that power or right, and the exercise of a power or right by Bodyline Imports does not preclude its future ability to exercise that or any other power or right.

14.4 Insofar as they apply to the ordering, purchase, fulfilment and delivery of Products from Bodyline Imports, these Terms are governed by and must be construed according to the law of the State of New South Wales, Australia and the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in that State.

14.5 No Bodyline Imports employee or agent has the authority to vary these Terms governing any sale.
