If you continue to use the App after 30 days of us making a change then you are taken to have accepted that change.

Agreed terms

Our contract with you

These terms and conditions apply to the supply of services by us to you. To the extent permitted by law, no other terms are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
These terms contain the entire agreement between you and us in relation to their subject matter. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation or assurance or warranty that is not set out in these terms.

Registration

We provide the App to enable Authorised Users, via a Plan Account, to add Plans and upload Plan Files, apply details to the Plans and Plan Files, search for Plans and Plan Files using details, and invite third parties to view your Plans.
Registration of a Plan Account requires you to enter your name and contact details.
Addition of an Authorised User requires you to enter the name and contact details of that Authorised User. You must ensure that you have the appropriate consents and authorisation to disclose an Authorised User’s personal information.

App licence

Subject to payment of the Fees, and from the date the Plan Account is registered (Registration Date), we grant you and your Authorised Users a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, licence for the Term to:
1. use the App in accordance with these terms;
2. access the App in the manner contemplated by these terms;
3. set up the Plan Account Profile;
4. add Plans and apply appropriate details to the Plans (subject to available Plan Capacity);
5. upload Plan Files;
6. add Authorised Users (subject to available User Capacity) and set usage permissions;
7. send invites to Plan Invitees to view your Plans; and
8. access and use any other function of the App which we make available to you from time to time.
For clarity, the licence granted under clause 2.4 does not allow you to sublicense the App to third parties.
We reserve the right to revoke this licence and delete your Plan Account at any time for any reason.
You must not transfer your Plan Account to any other person without our written permission.
If you register on behalf of a company, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to bind the company to these terms.

Fees

The Annual Fee for the Access Period is payable yearly in advance. We will supply you with an invoice for the Annual Fee.
We will notify you that the current Access Period is about to expire at least [#insert, e.g. 30 days] prior to its expiry. If you wish to renew access, you must review your Plan Account and make a payment for the further Access Period. If you do not make a payment on or prior to the expiry date, the licence under clause 2.4 will be revoked.
You may pre-purchase Plan Capacity and User Capacity, granting you available credits towards the addition of Plans and Authorised Users to your Plan Account. Plan Capacity and User Capacity is purchased in accordance with our pricing schedule, available at [#insert URL#].
Each Plan added will reduce your available Plan Capacity by one. You will not be able to add Plans if you do not have any Plan Capacity available. Additional Plan Capacity can be purchased as required.
Each Authorised User added will reduce your available User Capacity by one. You will not be able to add Authorised Users if you do not have any User Capacity available. Additional User Capacity can be purchased as required.
We use third party payment processors to process Annual Fees and purchases of Plan Capacity and User Capacity. You acknowledge that additional terms and conditions may apply to the use of these third party payment processors, which are available from the third party payment processors.
The Fees are exclusive of goods and services tax (GST). Where GST is payable in respect of some or all of the Services, you must pay us such additional amounts in respect of GST, at the applicable rate, at the same time as you pay the Fees.
You are responsible for and must reimburse us for any transaction, processing, dishonour, or charge back fees issued to us by a financial institution or third party payment processor as a result of your payment of (or failure to pay) the Fees.
If your payment is dishonoured or reversed for any reason after the licence under clause 2.4 has been granted, then without prejudice to our other rights or remedies, until payment is made in full, we will immediately suspend the licence granted under clause 2.4 and suspend your access to and use of the App.
We may set-off any Fees owed by you against any amounts held by us on your behalf.
Purchases of Plan Capacity, User Capacity, and Access Periods are final and non-refundable, subject to clause 4.1(j) and your rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). Please contact us if you are seeking a refund and we will let you know if you are eligible.

Plans

On adding a Plan, you must enter in some basic search terms applicable to the Plan. You may choose to apply additional details to the Plan which will assist in further classifying the Plan and which will be used to search for and filter Plans. You may also choose to apply a ‘Guide plan’ image of the Plan and upload Plan Files.
Plan Files uploaded to the App must be of compatible size and file type. You will receive an error message if your Plan File is not compatible with the App.
On successful addition of a Plan, required search terms, and a ‘Guide plan’ image of the Plan, you will be able to request a certificate of lodgement which will indicate the date and time you generated the certificate of lodgement.
Plans added and Plan Files uploaded to the App are only viewable by you unless you invite Plan Invitees to view your Plans or indicate that the Plan is to be publicly searchable.
Added Plans and Plan Files cannot be deleted from the App, however you can archive a Plan which will disable certain functionality, such as the ability to search for that Plan. Archived Plans do not contribute to Plan Capacity. Archived Plans can be restored at any time, subject to available Plan Capacity.
While we undertake reasonable back ups of the App in accordance with our reasonable business processes, we do not provide back up services. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have appropriate procedures in place to back up all Plan Files uploaded to the App.

Trustee’s limitation of liability

The Trustee enters into these terms and performs all conduct and obligations of the Trustee in connection with these terms only as trustee of the Trust, except where expressly stated otherwise.
A liability of the Trustee arising under or in connection with these terms is limited to and can only be enforced against the Trustee only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of any assets of the Trust by the Trustee exercising its right of indemnity set out in the Trust Deed. This limitation of the Trustee's liability applies despite any other provision of these terms other than clause 6.5.
No person may sue the Trustee in any capacity other than as Trustee of the Trust, including seeking the appointment of a receiver (except in relation to property of the Trust), a liquidator, an administrator or any other similar person to the Trustee or prove in any liquidation of or affecting the Trustee (except in relation to the property of the Trust).
Each person (other than the Trustee) waives their rights and releases the Trustee from any personal liability in respect of any loss or damage that it may suffer as a consequence of a failure of the Trustee to perform its obligations under these terms, which cannot be paid or satisfied out of any assets of the Trust.
Despite any other provision of this clause 6, the provisions of this clause will not apply to any obligation or liability of the Trustee to the extent arising as a result of the Trustee's fraud, negligence or breach of trust or because of a reduction of the Trustee's right of indemnity under the Trust Deed or by operation of law.
No attorney, agent or delegate appointed in accordance with these terms has authority to act on behalf of the Trustee in any way that exposes the Trustee to any personal liability.
In this clause:
1. Trustee means Plan Registry Pty Ltd; and
2. Trust means the Plan Registry Discretionary Trust.

Limitation of liability

Limitation

Subject to clauses 10.2 and 10.4 any liability of Plan Registry for loss or damage however caused (including by our negligence), suffered by you in connection with these terms is limited to an amount equal to the Fees paid by you to us under these terms in the 12 months before you first suffered loss or damage in connection with these terms.
Consequential Loss
Subject to clause 10.5, we are not liable for any Consequential Loss however caused (including by our negligence), suffered or incurred by you in connection with these terms.
Seriousness or nature
For clarity and without limiting clauses 10.1 and 10.2 the parties agree that clauses 10.1 and 10.2 are to apply in connection with a breach of these terms, anticipated breach of these terms and other conduct regardless of the seriousness or nature of that breach, anticipated breach or other conduct.
Australian consumer law
Except as contemplated by clause 10.5, nothing in these terms is intended to limit any of your rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
If the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any other legislation states that there is a guarantee in relation to any goods or services we supply in connection with these terms and our liability for failing to comply with that guarantee cannot be excluded but may be limited, then clauses 10.1 and 10.2 do not apply to that liability. Instead our liability for that failure is (at our election):
1. in the case of a supply of goods, us replacing the goods or supplying equivalent goods, repairing the goods, paying the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or paying the cost of having the goods repaired; or
2. in the case of a supply of services, us supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
