22.2 Severability: Any provision of these Terms which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability. That does not invalidate the remaining provisions of these Terms nor affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.3 Governing law and jurisdiction: These Terms and, to the extent permitted by law, all related matters including non-contractual matters, are governed by the laws of New South Wales and of the Commonwealth of Australia applying there.  Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. Any rights or remedies to which you are entitled under the Australian Consumer Law arise independently of these terms and conditions and this clause does not apply to any claim you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

22.4 Assignment: You must not transfer, assign, charge, subcontract or otherwise deal with these Terms, or any of your rights or obligations arising under these Terms, without Ampol’s prior written consent. Ampol may transfer, assign, novate, charge, subcontract or otherwise deal with these Terms, or any of its rights or obligations arising under these Terms, at any time during the Term.

22.5 Waiver:  If we waive a breach of these Terms by you, that waiver will not be considered to be or include a waiver of any previous or subsequent breach by you of the same or any other provision of these Terms.
