(g) If the CCA or any other applicable legislation provides the Customer or any Location with any non-excludable statutory rights (including any implied representations, warranties, terms or conditions or any statutory guarantees) in respect of any goods or services supplied under this Agreement or any Location Agreement, then the exclusions of and limitations on Hapana or its licensors and suppliers’ liability in this Agreement or any Location Agreement do not apply in respect of such non-excludable statutory rights; however, where Hapana’s liability with respect to such non-excludable statutory rights may be restricted or modified, then, without prejudice to any non-excludable statutory rights that Hapana may have which may not be restricted or modified by agreement, the liability is limited to:

(b) During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of 6 months after the Term, Hapana, the Customer or any Location (“First Party“) must not solicit or persuade any person or corporation who is a customer of any other First Party (such other First Party, the “Second Party“), or an end user of a customer of the Second Party, to cease doing business with the Second Party or the customer of the Second Party (as the case may be) or to reduce the amount of business which the customer or end user would normally do, in connection with the services being provided through the First Party.

14. Force Majeure
(a) Neither Party is responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Location Agreement if it is prevented or delayed in performing those obligations by an event of Force Majeure.
