Other changes in law. (a) Any present or future legislation which operates to vary the obligations of ARTC or the Access Holder in connection with this agreement resulting in ARTC or the Access Holder’s rights, powers or remedies being adversely affected (including by way of delay or postponement), is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.
(b) If there is a change in law which cannot be excluded and the change prevents a party from performing any of its obligations under this agreement or has a material adverse effect on either party, then the parties must negotiate in good faith to agree on amendments to this agreement.

If the parties cannot agree, then the dispute will be resolved in accordance with clause 14.
