If Company discovers an overpayment in the amounts paid by Company to Contractor for any period under audit (an “Audit Overpayment”), Contractor shall promptly pay such Audit Overpayment to Company. In the event that any such Audit Overpayment shall be in excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate payments made by Company in respect of the applicable period under audit, Contractor shall also reimburse Company for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Company in connection with such audit and the collection of the Audit Overpayment.

Contractor’s failure to give Company such notice shall constitute a waiver of any and all rights which Contractor may have to any adjustment, charge or reimbursement by reason thereof.
Independent Auditor If:
(a) the Provider is the Distributor and, acting reasonably, gives notice that the Records contain information about other industry participants that cannot reasonably be severed from the information relating to the Trader or that the information is commercially sensitive; or
(b) the provider is the Trader and, acting reasonably, gives notice that the Records contain information about other industry participants that cannot reasonably be severed from information relating to the Distributor or that the information is commercially sensitive, then the Distributor or the Trader, as appropriate, will permit an independent auditor (the “Auditor”) appointed by the other party to review the Records and the other party will not itself directly review any of the Records. The Distributor or the Trader, as appropriate, will not unreasonably object to the Auditor appointed by the other party. In the event that the Distributor or the Trader, as appropriate, reasonably objects to the identity of the Auditor, the parties will request the President of the New Zealand Law Society (or a nominee) to appoint a person to act as the Auditor. The party that is permitted by this clause 31.5 to appoint an Auditor will pay the Auditor’s costs, unless the Auditor discovers a material inaccuracy in the Records in which case the other party will pay the Auditor’s costs. The terms of appointment of the Auditor will require the Auditor to keep the Records confidential.
