    4.            If a third party makes a taxable supply and this Contract requires a party to this Contract (the payer) to pay for, reimburse or contribute to (pay) any expense or liability incurred by the other party to that third party for that taxable supply, the amount the payer must pay will be the amount of the expense or liability plus the amount of any GST payable in respect thereof but reduced by the amount of any input tax credit to which the other party is entitled in respect of the expense or liability.
    5.            If an adjustment event arises in relation to a taxable supply made by a party under this Contract (Supplier), the amount paid or payable by the party to whom the taxable supply is made (Recipient) pursuant to clause 10.2 will be amended to reflect this and a payment will be made by the Recipient to the Supplier or by the Supplier to the Recipient as the case may be.

          2.                the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again; and
      4.                 subject to clause 11.2(c), each party's liability for any Lloss arising under this Contract is limited to the total value of the Goods supplied under this Contract.
    3.            Each party (Indemnifying Party) must indemnify the other party (Indemnified Party) for any Loss suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party arising out of the Indemnifying Party's breach of this Contract or negligent act or omission, except to the extent such Loss is caused by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party acknowledges that it is not necessary for the Indemnified Party to incur an expense or make a payment before enforcing a right of indemnity conferred by this Contract or to mitigate its Loss.
