Australia Terms and Conditions
Last Revised: 10 September, 2021
These Australia Terms and Conditions (“Australia Terms”) supplement and form a part of the Automation Anywhere, Inc. (“AAI”) On-premise License Agreement (“OLA”), available at https://www.automationanywhere.com/legal/on-premise-license-agreement, and shall apply to Customers or Affiliates located in Australia. Words capitalized but not defined in these Australia Terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the OLA, and any referenced section or article numbers shall refer to the sections and articles of the OLA, except as noted.
Australian-specific Provisions.
For Customers or Affiliates located in Australia, the following provisions apply and prevail to the extent of any inconsistency over the remaining Sections of the OLA:
Subscription Fees.
Notwithstanding Section 5.1, AAI may only increase its fees for Software upon giving at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Customer, and any such change shall not affect the Customer's then-current fees until the end of the subscription term then in effect at the time such notice period ends.
Fees and Payment. Section 5.3 is amended by deleting "1.5%" and replacing it with "1%", and deleting "attorney's fees" and replacing it with "legal fees".
Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Interpretation.
In this Section 1.3 of these Australia Terms: (a) terms or expressions which have a defined meaning in the Australian A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (“GST Act”) have the same meaning as in the GST Act; and (b) any reference to a party includes the representative member of a GST group of which that party is a member.
Consideration excludes GST.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, all consideration to be paid or provided under this OLA is expressed exclusive of GST.
Payment of GST.
(a) If GST is payable on any supply made under the OLA, the recipient must pay to the supplier an additional amount (“GST Amount”) equal to the GST payable on that supply at the same time as the consideration for the supply is to be paid or provided. (b) Section 1.3.3(a) above does not apply to the extent that: (i) the consideration for the supply is stated to include GST; or (ii) GST on the supply is reverse charged and payable by the recipient.
Tax invoice.
The recipient need not pay the GST Amount until it has received a tax invoice or adjustment note, as the case may be.
Adjustment events.
If an adjustment event arises in relation to a supply made under this OLA, the GST Amount must be adjusted to reflect that adjustment event. A corresponding payment must be made by the supplier to the recipient or by the recipient to the supplier, as the case may be.
Calculation of amounts
If the OLA requires an amount to be calculated by reference to another amount (“Reference Amount”) that will be: (a) received for a taxable supply; or (b) paid for a creditable acquisition, then the Reference Amount must be reduced so as to exclude any part of the Reference Amount paid or received on account of GST, as the case may be.
Reimbursement and indemnity payments.
If the OLA requires a party to reimburse or indemnify another party for a cost or expense, the amount of the cost or expense must be reduced by an amount equal to any input tax credit to which the party being reimbursed or indemnified is entitled for that cost or expense.
Limited Warranty and Australian Consumer Law.
Section 7.3 of the OLA is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
7.3 CUSTOMER MAY HAVE RIGHTS BY LAW THAT ARISE UNDER THIS OLA AND THIS OLA IS SUBJECT TO THOSE RIGHTS. THE BENEFITS GIVEN BY THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE BY AAI HEREIN ARE IN ADDITION TO OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF CUSTOMER UNDER A LAW IN RELATION TO THE GOODS OR SERVICES TO WHICH THE WARRANTY RELATES.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THIS OLA, AND AAI WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS OLA BUT FOR SUCH DISCLAIMERS.
Support for Direct Purchase Licensed Software
Notwithstanding Section 8.1 of the OLA, AAI may amend or update the features of its support for licensed Software (including any changes to its support policy) from time to time during the subscription term. If a change to the relevant support or support policy has a material adverse effect on Customer's use of the Software, Customer may terminate the subscription for such Software upon giving written notice to AAI no later than 30 (thirty) days following the change to the support or support policy, in which case AAI will refund a pro rata portion of any prepaid fees for such affected portion of the Software equal to the period of time from the date of termination to the end of the then-current subscription term.
