d) Entire Agreement The Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of the Agreement. All waivers and modifications of the Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.

f) Construction The parties agree that the Agreement is the result of negotiations between them. The Agreement will not be construed in favor of or against either party by reason of authorship.

i) No waiver Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under the Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorised representative in an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of the Agreement.
j) Jurisdiction This Agreement is governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, New Zealand law. The New Zealand courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any disputes concerning matters involving the Agreement.
k) Amendment Zavy may amend the Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version or by sending the Client notice of the amendment. The amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective 30 days after such notice unless the Client first provides Zavy with notice of rejection of the amendment. In the event of a rejection, the Agreement will continue under its original provisions, and the amendment will become effective at the start of the Client’s next Term (unless the Client first terminates the Agreement). The Client’s continued use of the Services following the effective date of an amendment will confirm the Client’s consent. This Agreement may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement by authorised representatives of each party. Notwithstanding the previous provisions of this clause, Zavy may revise the AUP and Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version of either on their website, and the new version will become effective on the date it is posted.
