Term of Use

These Terms are divided into two parts. Part A applies to access to and use of the public website at www.smirp.io and related public webpages.

15. Fees, recurring billing and payment authorization

16. Price changes and future charges

 

16.1 We may vary our Fees and pricing model from time to time by giving you at least 30 days' prior notice. Any price variation will apply prospectively only and will ordinarily take effect from the commencement of your next billing cycle occurring after expiry of that notice period.

 

17. Customisation Services

Customisation, enhancement, integration, configuration, styling or development work outside those standard inclusions (Customisation Services) is provided only if separately agreed by us.

17.3 A Customisation Order may describe scope, assumptions, dependencies, exclusions, Fees, payment estimated delivery timing, testing, review, acceptance and change-request arrangements. If there is any inconsistency between Part B and a Customisation Order, the Customisation Order prevails only to the extent it expressly and specifically varies Part B.

Unless otherwise agreed, this may include agreed branding positions such as login-page logos, top-left interface branding or favicons, but only to the extent technically enabled by us.

18.3 You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use your trade marks, logos, business names and related brand assets solely for the purpose of implementing and supporting approved white-labelling for your account.

18.4 You must ensure that any white-labelling, branding or presentation of the Platform by you does not: (a) mislead any person as to ownership of the underlying Platform; (b) imply that the Platform has been developed by you; (c) infringe any third-party rights; (d) contravene any applicable law; or (e) remove or obscure any SMIRP attribution, notice or identifier except to the extent expressly approved by us.

You grant us, our Personnel and our service providers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence and right to host, store, copy, transmit, adapt, display, process, back up and otherwise use Customer Data and Customer Materials to the extent reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, support, secure and improve the Platform and Services, exercise our rights, and perform our obligations under these Terms.

23.1 SMIRP owns, or has the benefit of valid rights to use, all SMIRP Background IP. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any SMIRP Background IP to you.

23.2 You retain ownership of your Customer IP, including your branding, logos, trade marks, customer-supplied templates, documents, files, data, specifications, business rules and other materials supplied by or on behalf of you.

23.4 You acknowledge that payment of Subscription Fees, Customisation Fees or any other Fees does not transfer ownership of any code, software, configuration, module, layout, logic, methodology, template, Developed IP or other SMIRP intellectual property.

23.5 We may use and incorporate into the Platform any feedback, ideas, enhancement requests, suggestions or recommendations provided by you or your Authorised Users without restriction or obligation, provided that doing so does not give us any ownership of your Customer Data or other Customer IP.

24.2 A party may use the other party's Confidential Information only to perform, receive or enforce its rights and obligations under these Terms.

(a) is public other than through a breach of confidence;

25.4 We may modify, improve, replace, withdraw, suspend or discontinue Platform features, modules or functionality from time to time. Where reasonably practicable, we will seek to avoid materially reducing the overall functionality of your active paid plan without prior notice, but nothing in these Terms prevents us from making changes required for security, legal, regulatory, technical, operational or product-development reasons.

25.5 We may designate particular features or functionality as beta, pilot, preview, early access or similar (Beta Features). Beta Features may be incomplete, unstable or modified or withdrawn at any time, and are provided on an as-is basis without any service level commitment or warranty unless otherwise expressly agreed.

 

26. Third-party services, hosting and integrations

27.1 We will implement reasonable technical and organisational measures, having regard to the nature of the Platform and the information processed through it, to protect Customer Data and personal information against misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

27.2 You acknowledge that no internet-based platform or electronic storage environment is completely secure, and we do not warrant that the Platform will be immune from unauthorised access, cyber incidents or other security events.

27.3 We may maintain backups, disaster recovery environments and security logs as part of our ordinary operations. The Platform is not a substitute for your own data retention, record management or backup obligations, and you should maintain any copies of data or records that are important to your business.

27.4 If we become aware of a suspected or actual data breach affecting personal information, we will assess, contain, investigate and respond to that incident in accordance with our internal processes and applicable law.

 

28. Suspension

 

28.1 We may suspend or restrict access to all or part of the Platform or Services immediately if reasonably necessary to:

(a) protect the security, integrity, availability or lawful operation of the Platform or related systems;

(b) investigate suspected fraud, unlawful conduct, security incidents or breaches of these Terms;

(c) address non-payment of Fees;

(d) respond to legal or regulatory requirements; or

(e) prevent harm to us, our users, third parties or the Platform environment.

28.2 Where reasonably practicable, we will give you notice of any suspension and the reason for it and will restore access once the relevant issue has been resolved to our reasonable satisfaction.

28.3 Suspension under this clause does not relieve you from liability to pay Fees that accrued before, or continue to accrue during, the period of suspension to the extent applicable under your Subscription.

29. Term, renewal and termination

 

29.1 Part B commences on acceptance in accordance with clause 12.2 and continues for the period stated in the applicable Order, or if no fixed period is stated, on a month-to-month basis until terminated in accordance with these Terms.

29.2 A month-to-month Subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly billing cycle unless cancelled by you before the commencement of the next billing cycle.

29.3 If an Order states that a Subscription is for a fixed term, that Subscription continues for the fixed term and then renews, or expires, in accordance with the Order.

29.4 Either party may terminate Part B or the affected Subscription immediately by written notice if the other party:

(a) materially breaches these Terms and fails to remedy that breach within 14 days after receiving notice requiring it to do so;

(b) becomes insolvent, enters external administration or ceases to carry on business; or

(c) repeatedly breaches these Terms in a way that indicates a serious disregard of its obligations.

29.5 We may also terminate Part B or the affected Subscription immediately if we are required to do so by law or if continuing to provide the affected Services would expose us or our service providers to a material legal, regulatory or security risk.

29.6 We may terminate Part B or the affected Subscription for convenience on at least 30 days' prior written notice. If we terminate for convenience, we will refund any pre-paid Fees covering the unused portion of the terminated Subscription period.

29.7 Termination or expiry does not affect any accrued rights, remedies, liabilities or obligations arising before the date of termination or expiry.

 

30. Offboarding, data export, retention and deletion

 

30.1 On termination or expiry of a Subscription, access to the affected customer environment is disabled immediately unless we agree otherwise in writing.

30.2 Subject to payment of all outstanding amounts and your compliance with these Terms, you may request export of Customer Data during the 30-day period following termination or expiry of the relevant Subscription (Offboarding Window).

30.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, standard data export during the Offboarding Window will be limited to those categories of Customer Data and export formats that we make available as part of our standard export or otherwise reasonably determine form part of our standard offboarding process from time to time. Standard data export does not include migration services, reconfiguration assistance, reformatting into alternative structures, extraction of archived or non-standard data, or bespoke transition services.

30.4 We may charge our then-current rates for non-standard, repeated, urgent or labour-intensive export assistance, special formatting, exceptional support or other offboarding work outside our standard process.

30.5 After the Offboarding Window expires, we may delete or de-identify Customer Data from our active systems, subject to:

(a) any legal requirement to retain information;

(b) retention of backup copies until they are overwritten in the ordinary backup cycle;

(c) retention of limited records reasonably required for billing, dispute resolution, audit, compliance, security or enforcement purposes; and

(d) retention and continued use of de-identified or aggregated Service Analytics in accordance with these Terms.

 

31. Warranties, disclaimers and Australian Consumer Law

 

31.1 Each party warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform these Terms.

31.2 We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the Platform and Services. However, you acknowledge that the Platform is a configurable SaaS environment and that software, integrations, automations, AI-enabled features, customisations and online services can contain defects, limitations, interruptions and dependencies beyond our reasonable control.

31.3 Except as expressly stated in these Terms and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform, Services, Outputs and all related functionality are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranty that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, fit for a particular purpose or suitable for your regulatory or commercial requirements.

34.2 We may amend Part B from time to time. If an amendment is material and adverse in effect to active paying customers, we will use reasonable endeavours to give at least 30 days' prior notice before the amendment takes effect, unless the amendment is required urgently for legal, security or regulatory reasons.
