The Property, Agent and the Operator shall be excused performance of their
respective obligations under this Agreement where circumstances amounting
to "force majeure" occur for as long as such circumstances last and affect
contractual performance as more particularly described in this clause.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "force majeure" shall mean unusual and unforeseeable events beyond the control of the party seeking to rely on them. Such events may include (by way of example and not by way of limitation) war, threat of war, civil strife, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, epidemics, severe bad weather, terrorist activity, governmental action, acts of God and all other similar events.
Any contract may be terminated without cause by Mitchell Corp or the
property upon giving a three-month written notice to the other party.
Any contract may be terminated forthwith by the Operator:
in the event that the Agent is in material breach of any term of the Agreement; or
in the event that the Agent is insolvent, is unable to pay its debts when they fall due, has a Receiver or Administrator appointed to operate its business or if any step is taken under the insolvency procedures in the country where the Agent is situated relating to the finances of the Agents business; or
in the event that the Agent loses any license or permit that is required to enable it to trade.
Any termination under this clause, is strictly subject to the accrued rights of the parties, and is subject to the Agent co-operating with the Operator in connection with the passing of information, documents and records to the Operator or to any new agent appointed by the Operator to perform the Services in place of the Agent.
This Agreement will be governed by New Zealand law.
The property, agent and tour operator acknowledge that they wish to avoid
or minimise any differences or disputes under this agreement. They
therefore agree that if any differences or disputes arise between them over
the interpretation of these terms and conditions, or in relation to any
other matter arising under this agreement, then they will actively, openly
and in good faith, discuss that difference or dispute with a view to
achieving a prompt resolution.
If the property and tour operator cannot resolve a difference or dispute then they will refer it to an expert whose appointment they shall have agreed upon. The expert, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties, will endeavour to resolve the difference or dispute within seven (7) days of referral.
If the property and tour operator cannot agree on the appointment of an expert of whether a difference or dispute should be referred to mediation, then the particular difference or dispute shall be settled by reference to arbitration. The reference shall be to a single arbitrator if one can be agreed upon, or if not, to two arbitrators (one to be appointed by each party) and their umpire (appointed by them prior to their arbitration) such arbitration to be carried out in accordance with the current Arbitration Act.
Nothing in this clause shall prevent the property suing the tour operator for moneys outstanding to it by the tour operator in respect of goods or services supplied, or contract to be supplied, pursuant to these terms and conditions, in which case the Courts of New Zealand shall be the appropriate jurisdiction.
The waiver by the property of any breach of any one or more terms contained
in this agreement, will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach of such terms, or of any other terms.
This agreement cannot be assigned by the tour operator.
The property will not be liable for any loss of any kind whatsoever
suffered by the tour operator, arising from any breach of this agreement by
the property or from any negligence, misrepresentation or other act or
omission on the part of the property.
Notwithstanding anything else contained in this agreement, the liability of the property to the tour operator, whether in contract or in tort, in respect of all claims, will not in the aggregate exceed the cost of the accommodation.
The property and the tour operator acknowledge and agree that the current Consumer Guarantees Act has no application to this agreement between them.
The tour operator will indemnify the Hotel against all costs incurred and
losses suffered by the property resulting from the acts or omission of the
tour operator or the guests booked by the tour operator.
