Your use of all of the text, information (including without limitation storage or warehouse information), photographs, images, illustrations, graphics, audio, video and audio-video clips, and other materials provided through Sites and Apps (collectively, “Content”) is governed by these Terms of Use (as amended from time to time) as well as any specific terms on the Sites or any Apps which form part of the Terms of Use and govern your use of (and access to any Content on your handheld or other devices), and access to, certain sections of our Sites or Apps. Since you are also bound by these additional terms, you should review them wherever they are accessible to you on our Sites or via or on any Apps.
Our Sites and Apps include areas that are open to all visitors and password-protected areas, such as the secured financial and transactional information areas (the “Service”), that may be accessed only by Cargill Australia “account owners” and other authorized users (collectively, “Authorised Users”). These Terms of Use apply to both the public areas of this Site and Apps and the password-protected areas of this Site and Apps.

These changes will be effective as of the date we post the revised version on www.awb.com.au. Your use of our Sites following any such change constitutes Your consent to the terms of the revised Terms of Use. For this reason, it is important to review these Terms of Use regularly.

Waiver
Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms of Use or to exercise any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by any of us of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use or of any right provided for herein shall be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms of Use.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.
