For this purpose, the Customer irrevocably licenses the Supplier to enter such premises, undertakes that it will procure any necessary authority to enter from any relevant person, and also indemnifies the Supplier from and against all loss suffered or incurred by the Customer as a result of exercising its rights under this clause. If there is any inconsistency between the Supplier’s rights under this clause and its rights under Chapter 4 of the PPSA, this clause prevails.

18.15 All costs and expenses arising as a result of actions taken by either party pursuant to this clause will be for the account of the Customer. Within 7 days of a written request, the Customer must pay to the Supplier any costs or expenses incurred or to be incurred.
