17. Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you must indemnify us, and hold us harmless, against any Liability suffered or incurred by us arising from or in connection with your use of Hosted Services or any breach of these Terms or any applicable laws by you. This indemnity is a continuing obligation, independent from the other obligations under these Terms, and continues after these Terms end.  It is not necessary for us to suffer or incur any Liability before enforcing a right of indemnity under these Terms.

18. Denial of use:
CommandPost reserve the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any content generated by Authorised Users, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate Authorised User access to all or any part of the Hosted Services and/or Hosted Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability.

In particular, CommandPost reserve the right to decide whether any use of the Hosted Services or User Content is appropriate and complies with these Terms for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, market displacing mentions, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length, or inappropriate content.

19. Dispute
If you would like to give us feedback, please contact us. In the event of any dispute arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (Dispute), the party claiming there is a Dispute must give written notice to the other party setting out the details of the Dispute and proposing a resolution. Within 7 days after receiving the notice, the parties must, by someone with authority to reach a resolution, meet at least once to attempt to resolve the Dispute or agree on the method of resolving the Dispute by other means, in good faith. All aspects of every such conference, except the fact of the occurrence of the conference, will be privileged. If the parties do not resolve the Dispute, or (if the Dispute is not resolved) agree on an alternate method to resolve the Dispute, within 21 days after receipt of the notice, the Dispute may be referred by either party (by notice in writing to the other party) to litigation. Nothing in this clause will operate to prevent a party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

20. Termination
CommandPost may terminate this agreement and your account immediately and without notice and stop providing access to Hosted Services if you breach these Terms, you violate applicable laws, or we reasonably believe termination is necessary to protect Hosted Services, its Authorised Users, or third parties. CommandPost may also terminate this if your account has been inactive for more than two years, we may terminate your account without prior notice.

21. Interpretation
If a provision of these Terms is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision must be read down as narrowly as necessary to allow it to be valid or enforceable. If it is not possible to read down a provision (in whole or in part), that provision (or that part of that provision) is severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision or the other provisions in these Terms. Where the word “will” is used in these Terms it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”

22. Governing Law
Your use of Hosted Services and these Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts operating in New South Wales and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts and waive any right to object to proceedings being brought in those courts.

Hosted Services may be accessed throughout Australia and overseas.  We make no representation that Hosted Services complies with the laws (including intellectual property laws) of any country outside Australia.  If you access Hosted Services from outside Australia, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with the laws of the jurisdiction where you access Hosted Services.
