  • will sign all documents and do all things reasonably required by the Client to give effect to the above.

If delays attributable to the Client arise, the timeframe relating to delivery of the Services will extend for a period that may not be commensurate with the period of the Client delay due to other factors including work already scheduled and in progress for other clients at the time of the Client delay. In this event, Orange Digital will advise the Client when performance of the Services can be rescheduled and provide revised delivery timeframes accordingly. Orange Digital will not accept responsibility for delays in service delivery due to non-responsiveness of the Client to requests for approvals, feedback and other information requested in writing by Orange Digital in order to deliver the Services.

Projects that incur Client related delays of 30 days or more, will be deemed by Orange Digital to be inactive or abandoned and may be cancelled by Orange Digital upon written notice to the Client.

In the event Orange Digital related delays arise, Orange Digital will:

  1. promptly notify the Client and request approval for the delay; or
  2. expedite completion of the Services in accordance with the most recently communicated timeframe.

Any changes or modifications to the Work Products made by any persons commissioned by the Client who are not employed by Orange Digital are not the responsibility of Orange Digital. Accordingly, any errors, damage or problems that occur in providing the Services due to third party modifications remain the sole responsibility of the Client.

Where the Client requires Orange Digital to coordinate, liaise or work in conjunction with another vendor, supplier or partner of the Client for the purpose of integrating the Client’s website or app into existing databases, operating systems or other existing software, it is the Client’s responsibility to coordinate between the third party and Orange Digital and ensure that Orange Digital has full and complete access to any information or specifications that may impact upon the delivery of Services. Orange Digital will not be responsible for delays due to a lack of information, inaction or non- responsiveness by Client related third parties or vendors.

By accepting this Agreement, the Client acknowledges Orange Digital may retain copies of all works and materials used in providing the Services and may use samples of the Work Products for portfolio use

Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other if a party:

  2. enters into liquidation, is wound up or dissolved or enters into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors or is placed under official management or in receivership or ceases to carry on business or ceases to be able to pay its debts as they become due; or
  3. assigns, novates or otherwise divests itself of this Agreement or any of its benefits, or purports to assign, novate or otherwise divest itself or any of its obligations under this Agreement, without the written consent of the other party (such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience by providing a minimum of 90 days’ notice in writing to the other party.

In the event this Agreement is terminated, should the value of work performed by Orange Digital at the date of termination exceed the cumulative value of payments received by Orange Digital under this Agreement, the balance will be invoiced and to the Client and shall be payable within 7 days of invoice date.

In the absence of any negligence by or on behalf of Orange Digital, the Client hereby indemnifies Orange Digital from and against any and all claims, demands and actions, and any liabilities, damages or expenses resulting therefrom, arising out of or relating to the Services performed by Orange Digital under this Agreement and such indemnity shall survive the termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

Orange Digital will not be liable or responsible for any delay or failure to perform the Services under this Agreement where it can be demonstrated that such delay or failure was a direct or indirect result of Client delays including lack of action or slow response to any written request from Orange Digital for approvals, feedback, content or other information required to deliver the Services.

This Agreement may not be varied except by a written document signed by or on behalf of each of the parties.

If any provision of this agreement shall be determined as unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Orange Digital will be not be held liable for any delay, consequence or failure to provide the Services where such failure or delay is due to any act, omission, cause or circumstances outside of our reasonable control including, without limitation; fire, storm, earthquake, explosion, accident, enemy acts, war, sabotage, labour dispute and any.

Orange Digital and the Client hereby submit to the non- exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and any courts competent to hear appeals from those courts in respect of any matters concerning this Agreement.
