31. Governing Law & Policy Interpretation

This Acceptable Use Policy is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, subject to any mandatory legal rights or jurisdictional requirements that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If any provision of this Policy is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.

Failure by Alpha & Omega Limited to enforce any provision of this Policy does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.
