The Customer acknowledges that SkyNet receives LASAW Service data from multiple sources it may or may not control (including from the Customer), and that, except as otherwise provided herein, data integrity/accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
(F) Exclusion of liability
(i) To the extent permitted by law, in no event will SkyNet be Liable to the Customer for any loss of access or interruption to the LASAW Services or corruption of Customer-supplied data, even if SkyNet has been made aware of the possibility of such loss of access, service interruption or, corruption of Customer data prior to entering into these Terms and Conditions.
(ii) Customer acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the LASAW Services include software, that software is never error or defect free, and that the mere presence of defects or errors in software will not constitute a breach of SkyNet’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions
(iii) Customer acknowledges and agrees that the effectiveness of any application, methodology or process used by the SkyNet in delivering the LASAW Services may be dependent on external factors controlled by the Customer or third parties, and any errors, incompatibilities or adverse effects that occur as a result of Customer’s or a third party’s actions occurring at any time which could not be ascertained or foreseen by SkyNet (to be determined by SkyNet acting reasonably), including but not limited to: (a) substantial changes in the Customer’s digital operating environment; (b) changes in algorithms, processes, upgrades, updates, new releases and patches; or (c) any other changes to variables relied on by SkyNet to deliver the Services, and do not constitute a breach of SkyNet’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
(G) No implied terms - To the full extent permitted by law, any term which would otherwise be implied into the Terms and Conditions is excluded. If any law implies or imposes terms into the Terms and Conditions which cannot be lawfully excluded, such terms will apply, save that SkyNet’s liability for breach of any such term will be limited in accordance with section 11(D).
(H) Indemnity – Customer indemnifies SkyNet and its officers, employees, suppliers, agents, successors and assigns (together the “Indemnified Persons”) against any and all claims (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) made against the Indemnified Persons and loss or damage suffered by Indemnified Persons arising from or in connection with:

(v) violation of any applicable laws.
In this section (H), “Operational Incident” means the occurrence of an incident which presents (or is likely to present) a risk to the safe landing of an aircraft at an aerodrome or helipad owned or operated by the Customer or a related entity.
(I) Termination of LASAW Services –
[(a) The Customer acknowledges that SkyNet will provide the LASAW Service for the agreed minimum service term, and that the contracted service period will automatically renew for an additional twelve month term and after each expiring twelve month anniversary except where the Customer has notified SkyNet advising of intent to cancel the services 90 days prior to the next anniversary date.
(b) Within 30 days following termination or expiration of the LASAW Services or the Terms of Service (whichever is the earlier), the Customer must deliver the LASAW equipment to SkyNet in good working order (fair wear and tear excepted) at its own expense. If the Customer fails to do so, then Customer agrees to reimburse SkyNet for the replacement cost of the equipment.
