Subject to the terms and conditions of any specific agreement that you have signed with us (if applicable) and clauses 6 and 7, we grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable licence to access and use the Software for the sole purpose of implementing and supporting your digital marketing activities including email, SMS and other related services and functionality available via the system . You may only grant sublicences to your clients to use the Software if it is expressly set out that you may do so in a schedule to a specific agreement you have signed with us. If such a schedule does so provide, then the conditions upon which you may grant sublicences shall be governed by the provisions of that specific agreement.
We warrant to you that we have the authority to grant this licence pursuant to this agreement.
If you signed a specific agreement with us that states that a Trial Period is applicable then subject to clause 7 you shall only be entitled to access and use of the Software for 30 days which period of time shall commence on the day we send you an email confirming that you have access to the Software. At the end of the Trial Period if you have not agreed to enter into a contract with us to use the Software then your access to and use of the Software will automatically end and the provisions of clause 7.6and 7.7 shall thereafter apply.
If you have signed a specific agreement with us then you shall pay us the fees and charges (if any) as stipulated in your agreement with us. This clause does not apply to you if you are subject to the terms of a sublicence made between you and an authorised third party.
We are not required to provide Updates or New Releases or Customisation pursuant to this agreement. However, Updates, New Releases and/or Customisation may be provided by us from time to time in our absolute discretion. If we do provide you with any Updates or New Releases or Customisation then they will form part of the Software and be subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement as varied.
Except as expressly permitted by sections 47B(3), 47C, 47D, 47E or 47F of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), and any specific agreement you have signed with us, you must not and you must ensure that your officers, employees, agents and contractors do not:
decompile, delete, reverse engineer, modify, copy, reproduce, disassemble, adapt, translate, or create any derivative works of the Software, or any Intellectual Property Rights, products, or services obtained from us in respect of the Software; or
disseminate, distribute, transmit, display, perform, publish, directly or indirectly sell, transfer, offer for sale, licence, assign, rent, timeshare or sublicense any part of the Software or any copies of the Software.
You are responsible for acquiring and installing any telephone, internet, electronic, email facilities and any other hardware and software systems that we consider necessary for you to access and use the Software.
You must keep all Confidential Information confidential.
You must use your best endeavours to ensure that the Software is protected at all times from unauthorised access or use and from physical misuse, damage or destruction by any person.
Each officer or employee that you nominate for the purposes of this agreement shall be given administrator level access to and use of the Software by us (such access will be initiated via an email which contains a link to enable the person to create their own password and then gain access to the Software), and we may at any time revoke an individual’s access (whether at administrator level or otherwise) if we believe that:
the user has ceased to be your officer or employee;
the security of that user’s password has, or may have been, compromised; or
that you (or the officer or employee in question) have failed to adopt responsible security practices in respect of the Software or otherwise failed to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Administrator level access shall enable the user to grant other officers and employees of yours access to the Software. The granting of such access by a user with administrator level access may at the discretion of the relevant user involve the grating of administrator level access or some lesser form of access to the Software. Our ability to revoke the access of individuals under clause 3.10 applies equally to the other officers and employees of yours who may be granted access to the Software pursuant to this clause 3.11.
You must immediately inform us if you suspect that the security of a user’s password has, or may have been, compromised, or if you suspect that there has been unauthorised access to and/or use of the Software, including any misuse, interference or loss of, or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure of Personal Information held on the Software.
You must not, and must ensure that your officers and employees do not, disclose their passwords to any person other than you (including by training and regularly reminding permitted users within your organisation not to make such disclosures) who does not have a need to know such information.
You remain exclusively responsible for all acts and omissions of all officers and employees of yours who use the Software whether through the lawful or unlawful use of any user’s password or any other means of access.
If you access or use the Software from a country other than Australia:
we make no representation that the Software and such access or use will comply with the laws (including intellectual property laws) of any such country; and
you do so at your own risk and it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the laws of any such country.
You agree that you will provide notice to individuals in accordance with Australian Privacy Principle 5 to inform them that their personal information may be disclosed to us.
You warrant that you will only use the Software to send electronic direct marketing communications to recipients that have agreed to receive such communications.
We have the right at any time to require you to submit your email distribution lists to us for approval prior to broadcast (or further broadcast, where previous broadcasts have already been made to the recipients listed in any such list) of emails to the recipients listed in any such list, for the purpose of allowing us to satisfy ourselves that the recipients have opted-in to the receipt of such emails.
Where we notify you of a requirement under clause 3.18 to submit such a list to us for approval, you may not broadcast emails to that list until you have submitted the list and we have approved it.
For the avoidance of doubt, clauses 3.18 and 3.19 operate for our benefit and protection only, create no enforceable rights in your favour and impose no obligation on us to check or approve such lists (which we may choose to do or not to do in our absolute and unfettered discretion). It remains at all times your sole responsibility to ensure that the Software is not used for any unlawful purpose, including without limitation, any use which may breach the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), the Privacy Laws, the CAN-SPAM Act (USA) or any laws in any jurisdiction having similar effect.
ill promptly advise you of any requests for access to or correction of Personal Information, or any complaints in relation to the handling of Personal Information, which we receive in relation to Personal Information that forms part of your data. You agree to give us all reasonable assistance we require to respond to any access to or correction requests that are made to us.
Where we receive a complaint from a recipient of an email broadcast by you to the effect that that recipient had not opted-in to the receipt of such emails, we may require you to submit proof to our satisfaction that such recipient had opted-in to such receipt and you agree to give us all reasonable assistance we require to enable us to deal with the complaint.
We shall have the right when notifying you of such a requirement to suspend your access to and use of the Software with immediate effect until such time as such proof is submitted and we have determined that we are satisfied with it.
You shall not be entitled to any refund of the Annual License Fee or other fixed charges (however described) in respect of the period of any suspension of access pursuant to clause 3.20 (even where proof is submitted and we are satisfied with it).
