ANDThe entity or person agreeing to these terms and conditions ("Customer")

Recitals

A.ITPL is the operator of the technology platform described in item 1 of Schedule 1 (the "IT Platform").

B.Customer has requested that ITPL, and ITPL has agreed, to provide Customer with access to and use of the IT Platform on a subscription basis, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement.

Terms and conditions

1. Agreement

1.1 These Business Subscription Terms and Conditions ("Ts&Cs") together with any exhibits, schedules, attachments and materials that expressly reference these Ts&Cs (the “Agreement”) govern:

  • all Subscriptions purchased by Customer; and
  • Customer's use of the IT Platform and the Services.

1.2 By purchasing a Subscription (or otherwise registering to use, or using, the IT Platform), Customer agrees to this Agreement. If Customer does not agree to this Agreement, then Customer must not access or use the IT Platform.

1.3 If any provision of the Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent with any other provision of the Agreement, then the following order of precedence shall apply:

  • these Ts&Cs;
  • any document expressly incorporated by reference in these Ts&Cs; and
  • any other exhibit, attachment or document that expressly references the Agreement and is executed by a duly-authorised representative of each of ITPL and Customer, in each case where a provision in a later dated exhibit, attachment or document shall prevail over any conflicting provision in an earlier-dated exhibit, attachment or document.

1.4 Capitalised terms used in this Agreement have the meaning given to them in clause 23. Rules of interpretation for this Agreement are contained in clause 22.13.

1.5 ITPL may amend this Agreement by giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Customer (each such notice a "change notice"). If any change in a change notice:

  • has a material adverse impact on the Customer's rights under this Agreement;
  • results in a material degradation in the functionality or performance of the IT Platform or the Services (taken as a whole); or
  • increases ITPL's prices such that the Fees payable by the Customer in the upcoming 12-month period increase by more than 20% when compared to the Fees for the previous 12-month period for the equivalent volume and level of usage,

then the Customer may object to the proposed change in writing to ITPL within 30 days of the date of the change notice (the "Objection Period"). The parties agree that:

  • if the Customer does not object to a change notice within the Objection Period, then the terms of the change notice shall be effective on the date set out in the change notice (such date, the “change effective date”), provided that the change effective date must be no less than 30 days after the date of the change notice; and
  • unless ITPL agrees in writing to the Customer's objection, then the Customer may, before the end of the Objection Period, elect to terminate the Agreement on 30 days' prior written notice to ITPL. If the Customer elects to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this clause 1.5( e ), then ITPL will provide the Customer with a pro-rata refund of pre-paid fees that relate to the period following the effective date of termination.

2. Subscriptions

2.1 Customer must have a current Subscription for each Business Location that the Customer wishes to manage using the IT Platform. Customer must not use the IT Platform for more Business Locations than the number of current Subscriptions that Customer holds. ITPL may monitor compliance with this requirement in accordance with clause 13.2.

2.2 Customer can purchase Subscriptions via ITPL's website, the IT App or any other authorised ordering process that has been approved by ITPL from time to time.

2.3 Customer must select the initial period for the Subscription (the Initial Term) at the time of purchasing a Subscription. At the end of the Initial Term the Subscription will automatically renew (and, if the Initial Term was for more than one month, convert to an on-going month-by-month subscription at ITPL's then-current standard pricing) unless:

  • Customer has cancelled the Subscription in accordance with clause 2.5, in which case the Subscription will not renew and will expire in accordance with clause 2.5; or
  • Customer and ITPL have agreed otherwise in writing.

2.4 If the Customer has provided ITPL with a Nominated Payment Method, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that ITPL may charge the Fees for the renewal period using the Nominated Payment Method once the Subscription renews under clause 2.3.

2.5 Customer may cancel a Subscription at any time by giving written notice to ITPL in accordance with clause 22.12( b ) (a Cancellation Notice) at least two (2) business days before the Subscription is due to renew. If the Customer has more than one Subscription, the Cancellation Notice must specify which Subscription(s) the Customer wishes to cancel.

2.6 When Customer issues a Cancellation Notice the cancellation will take effect at the end of the current Subscription Period, unless the Cancellation Notice was given less than two (2) business days before the Subscription was due to renew (in which case the Subscription will renew for a further month (at ITPL's then-current standard pricing) and the cancellation will then take effect at the end of that further month).

2.7 ITPL does not provide refunds or credits for any partial Subscription Periods, except as expressly stated in this Agreement or as required under any Non-Excludable Terms.

3. ITPL's obligations

3.1 For each Subscription, ITPL will:

  • provide the Customer with access to, and a limited licence to use, the IT Platform for a single Business Location in accordance with clause 5; and
  • provide the Customer with the Services,

during the Subscription Period and subject to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the IT Platform Documentation.

3.2 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • these Ts&Cs and the IT Platform Documentation may specify minimum technical requirements and third party service components that are required in order for the Customer to access and use the IT Platform. ITPL takes no responsibility for any third party products or services that the Customer uses in connection with the IT Platform; and
  • the IT Platform will evolve over time and ITPL reserves the right to change how the IT Platform operates and its functionality and update the IT Platform Documentation from time to time. Any material changes that will result in a material degradation in the functionality or performance of the IT Platform or the Services (taken as a whole) will be notified to the Customer in accordance with clause 1.5, and any such material change will be implemented at the end of the Objection Period unless it is necessary to comply with an applicable Law or to protect the security or stability of the IT Platform (in which case it may be implemented immediately).

ITPL may accept or reject any request for quote in ITPL's sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, ITPL is under no obligation to provide a quote, or to offer a quote on any particular terms or prices.

15.2 Unless otherwise expressly stated, all Fees or other sums payable or consideration to be provided under this Agreement are exclusive of GST.

15.3 If GST is payable by a supplier or by the representative member for a GST group of which the supplier is a member, on any supply made under this Agreement, the recipient will pay to the supplier an amount equal to the GST payable on the supply.

15.4 The recipient will pay the amount referred to in clause 15.3 in addition to and at the same time that the consideration for the supply is to be provided under this Agreement.

15.5 The supplier must deliver a tax invoice or an adjustment note to the recipient before the supplier is entitled to payment of an amount under clause 15.3. The recipient can withhold payment of the amount until the supplier provides a tax invoice or an adjustment note, as appropriate.

15.6 If an adjustment event arises in respect of a taxable supply made by a supplier under this Agreement, the amount payable by the recipient under clause 15.3 will be recalculated to reflect the adjustment event and a payment will be made by the recipient to the supplier or by the supplier to the recipient as the case requires.

15.7 Where a party is required under this Agreement to pay or reimburse an expense or outgoing of another party, the amount to be paid or reimbursed by the first party will be the sum of:

  • ( c ) the amount of the expense or outgoing less any input tax credits in respect of the expense or outgoing to which the other party, or to which the representative member for a GST group of which the other party is a member, is entitled; and
  • ( d ) if the payment or reimbursement is subject to GST, an amount equal to that GST.

provided that the Customer's obligation to indemnify under this clause 16.4 will be proportionately reduced to the extent that the claims, actions, demands, losses, fines or payments were caused or contributed to by ITPL or could reasonably have been avoided or mitigated by ITPL once ITPL became aware of the relevant circumstances.

16.5 Customer warrants that it has obtained all authorisations and consents required by Law (including all Privacy Laws) and from any third parties in relation to the Customer Data and any other materials provided to ITPL by or on behalf of Customer that are required for ITPL to exercise its rights, and perform its obligations, under this Agreement.

17. Australian Consumer Law

17.1 In this Agreement, "Australian Consumer Law" means Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the corresponding provisions of state and territory fair trading legislation and the terms "Consumer" and "Consumer Guarantees" have the meaning given to them in the Australian Consumer Law.

17.2 The Australian Consumer Law provides Consumers with Consumer Guarantees that cannot be excluded or limited. The limitations of liability set out in this Agreement are therefore subject to (and will not apply to the extent that they limit or exclude) any Consumer Guarantees that may apply to the Customer if it is a Consumer. However, where the Australian Consumer Law permits ITPL to limit the remedies for a breach of such Consumer Guarantees, ITPL's liability to Customer in connection with a breach of or failure to comply with a Consumer Guarantee is limited as set out in clause 18.2( b ).

18.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law (but subject to clause 17):

  • ( a ) ITPL does not warrant that the IT Platform will be error free, or that Customer's use of the IT Platform will be uninterrupted, or that the IT Platform will meet the Customer's requirements or be fit for any particular purpose;
  • ( b ) if ITPL is liable for a breach of a Non-Excludable Term, where it is permissible to limit liability for breach of such Non-Excludable Term, ITPL's liability is limited (at its option, acting reasonably) to:
    • (i) in relation to goods, replacing or repairing the goods, or paying the costs of replacing or repairing the goods; or
    • (ii) in relation to services, the re-supply of services or the payment of the cost of having the services resupplied; and
  • ( c ) ITPL excludes all liability arising under or in connection with this Agreement (whether arising out of breach of contract, negligence or any other tort, under statute or otherwise) for any loss of profit, revenue, data, contracts, goodwill or business, or any interruption to the business of the Customer or any of its Related Bodies Corporate, or any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental damages.

18.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law (but subject to clause 17), with the exception of:

  • ( a ) any liability that ITPL may have under a Non-Excludable Term; and
  • ( b ) any liability that ITPL may have under an indemnity or for fraud,

ITPL's maximum aggregate liability to the Customer under or in connection with this Agreement (whether arising out of breach of contract, negligence or any other tort, under statute or otherwise) is limited to the Fees paid by the Customer during the 12 month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

  • ( e ) an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of the Customer.

19.2 ITPL may terminate this Agreement for convenience on 60 days written notice to Customer. If ITPL terminates this Agreement pursuant to this clause, it will refund any amounts paid by the Customer in advance (if any) that relates to the period beyond the effective date of termination.

  • ( a ) ITPL ceases business, or threatens to do so;
  • ( b ) ITPL materially breaches a term of this Agreement but does not remedy the breach within 30 days of notice in writing issued by the Customer, identifying the breach and requesting remedy; or
  • ( c ) an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of ITPL.

20. Consequences of termination

21.2 If a Force Majeure Event persists for a period of more than 10 days, either party may terminate this Agreement (without liability) by giving written notice to the other party.

21.3 For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 21 does not apply to the Customer's obligations under this Agreement to pay amounts that are due and payable to ITPL.

SCHEDULE 3
PURCHASING APPROVED DEVICES FROM ITPL

In this Schedule 3 references to “you” or “your” are references to Customer, and references to “we”, “us” or “our” are references to ITPL.

By purchasing any products via the Online Store, you agree to the following terms and conditions (the “Purchase Terms”).

1. Ordering

The purchase price for the Approved Devices will be notified to you as part of the Online Store check-out process. If you elect to proceed, you agree that ITPL may process payment using your chosen payment method selected during the check-out process.

Any applicable delivery fees will be specified during the check-out process and are payable at the time of placing your order.

Payments will be subject to the terms and conditions of payment specified by the payment provider that you select from the options offered by ITPL. This may include an additional fee, which is usually calculated as a percentage of the total transaction cost. You will be advised of any such fees that ITPL charges, in relation to the use of the payment platform, at the time you authorise the payment.

All prices in the Online Store are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST.

Payment for the Authorised Devices and any applicable delivery fees is required in full at the time of making the order, unless you have selected an alternative payment model (such as an instalment payment plan or deferred payment arrangement) from the approved options that we offer during the Online Store check-out process.

Acceptance of an order takes place at the time we communicate our acceptance of the order to you, even if your payment has been processed beforehand. We reserve the right to reasonably refuse to accept or process your order, including where:

  • (i) the products ordered are not available or not able to be substituted with other similar products;
  • (ii) we cannot obtain confirmation that your payment has been authorised or received;
  • (iii) there has been a pricing or product description error; or
  • (iv) you, or the particular order, do not meet any of the requirements of this Schedule 3 or the Agreement.

Once your order is accepted, we will notify you by email or SMS (or such other method of communication determined by us).

The information, including pricing and product details, contained in the Online Store may include inadvertent and occasional errors due to typographical mistakes, miscommunications and/or technical glitches. We reserve the right to cancel orders, and refund your payment, due to such errors or if the items ordered are no longer available. We will notify you as soon as possible if we cancel your order.

2. Delivery, title and risk

Our products are sold and shipped within Australia. Contact us for international shipping queries.

You must provide us with a valid delivery address. You will be responsible for any additional re-delivery fees if you specify an incorrect delivery address.

We use third party delivery partners to deliver orders. Accordingly, the delivery times for products will be impacted by shipping and other factors outside of our control.

The Approved Devices will be considered to have been delivered in good condition and accepted by you unless you notify us within a reasonable time after delivery of any issues with the Approved Devices.

Title and risk in the Authorised Devices transfers to you once we dispatch the goods to our third party delivery partner. Once our products have been dispatched, you are responsible for liaising with the delivery partner in relation to date and time of delivery (you can track your order if you choose registered or express post). We are not responsible for damage to products in transit, and recommend you seek insurance if you are concerned by the risk of damage during transit.

Nothing in these Purchase Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or under any other law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement of the parties (Non-Excludable Rights).

Subject to the previous paragraph and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude any term, condition, warranty, representation, guarantee or undertaking into these Purchase Terms that may otherwise be implied by legislation, common law, equity, trade, custom or usage.

We exclude any liability to you for consequential loss you may suffer or incur if we breach these Purchase Terms or which may arise from our negligence (where consequential loss includes indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, losses arising from claims by third parties, loss of reputation and loss of opportunity). This limitation does not apply to limit our liability to you in respect of the Non-Excludable Rights.

Our maximum aggregate liability to you if we breach these Purchase Terms or for our negligence is limited to the total amount you have paid to us in the three (3) months prior to the date of the relevant order. This limitation does not apply to limit our liability to you in respect of the Non-Excludable Rights. To the extent permitted by law, we limit our liability to you in respect of the Non-Excludable Rights in accordance with clause 18.2( b ) of the Ts&Cs.

4. Returns and refunds

If you receive the wrong Authorised Devices, or believe you are entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law, please contact us with details of the issue and proof of purchase and we will provide you with details of how the Authorised Devices can be returned.

For valid claims under the Australian Consumer Law, and exchanges if you receive the wrong Authorised Devices, we will pay the postage costs to return the products to us.

Except where your claim is covered by a guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law, returned products should be returned in the original unopened packaging and not be tampered with.

5. Installation, configuration, maintenance and use

You are responsible for the installation, configuration, maintenance and use of the Authorised Devices.

Some of the Authorised Devices may also come with warranties, maintenance and support services provided by the third party manufacturer of the Authorised Device (Manufacturer Services). These Manufacturer Services are in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (see clause 3). We encourage you to familiarize yourself with any Manufacturer Services that come with the Authorised Device.
