An invoice for the Access Fee will be issued at the start of each month, payment will be received by means of direct debit from your nominated account until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with clause 9 herein.

      You must ensure that payment is made by direct debit (unless explicitly agreed otherwise) through the facility made available by Cirrus8. Failure to register for the direct debit system will result in an administration fee of $100 plus GST for each monthly invoice. Any overdue invoices will have interest of 15% p.a. charged. You are responsible for payment of all bank charges, taxes and duties in addition to the Access Fee including any dishonour fees.

    2. Suspension or termination of access for non-payment:
      Without prejudice to any other rights that Cirrus8 may have under these terms or at law, Cirrus8 reserves the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Service in the event that any invoices for those Access Fees or any other setup, implementation, training or other related fees are not paid in full by the payment due date. Access will be restored when payment is received, and no credit is offered or available for any period of suspension.
    3. General obligations:
      You must only use the Service for your own lawful internal business purposes, in accordance with these terms and any notice sent by Cirrus8 or condition posted on the Service. You may use the Service on behalf of others or in order to provide services to others, but if You do so, You warrant that You are authorised to do so and that all persons for whom or to whom services are provided, comply with and accept all terms of this Agreement that apply to You.
    4. Unauthorised data downloads
      As an invited user You are only permitted to use the Service and download data as approved by the Subscriber. Downloading data for example tenancy schedules, and sharing with uninvited users without the permission of the Subscriber is unlawful.
    5. Automated bank transaction data delivered into your Cirrus8 account:
      Where available, automated bank account transaction data feeds are generally provided to You free of charge. However, Cirrus8 reserves the right to pass on any charges related to the provision of bank feed data on a case-by-case basis at Cirrus8's sole discretion. Cirrus8 will first inform You via email to indicate what those charges are likely to be (such charges may vary depending on your bank and your volume of bank feeds). You have the option to decide to discontinue use of automated bank feeds at any time. To exercise this option, You must give Cirrus8 five (5) business days' notice of which automated bank account transaction data feeds You want to discontinue. Upon receiving such notice, Cirrus8 will arrange for such feeds to be terminated in accordance with each bank's usual practices. There may be separate terms applicable to the bank feeds that certain banks may require You to agree with to utilise the service.
    6. Access conditions:
      1. You must ensure that all usernames and passwords required to access the Service are kept secure and confidential. You must immediately notify Cirrus8 of any unauthorised use of your passwords or any other breach of security and Cirrus8 will reset your password.

      2. Each user license is assigned to an individual and may only be used by one (1) predetermined individual. New additional user licenses can be purchased at a cost with a minimum of one (1) calendar month charge applying unless that additional license falls within the agreed number of usable licenses. New licenses purchased during a month attract the full monthly fee for the month in question. Access licenses can be revoked by providing seven (7) days written notice to Cirrus8 ([email protected]) subject to maintaining the minimum number of licenses. Further licenses may be issued in respect of an individual's revoked licenses no earlier than two (2) months after a revocation i.e. revoking and reassigning licenses for individuals going on leave is not appropriate. All requests for user licenses must be given by the Subscriber or another employee given the requisite authority in writing to act on behalf of the Subscriber.
      3. All use of Cirrus8 needs to be by the registered Invited User (individual person) via the Cirrus8 provided front end user interface only. The usage of alternative interfaces or automation scripts such as screen scrapers or robotic process automation is not permitted.

At the end of each billing period, these terms will automatically continue for another period of the same duration as that period, provided You continue to pay the prescribed Access Fee when due, unless either party terminates these terms by giving notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days before the end of the relevant billing period. If You terminate, You shall be liable to pay all relevant Access Fees for the current month during which the notice was given and for the following month in which the thirty (30) day notice expiry falls.
    3. Termination due to breach of terms:
      If You:
      1. breach any of these terms (including, without limitation, by non-payment of any Access Fees or any other setup, implementation, training or support fees) and do not remedy the breach within fourteen (14) days after receiving notice of the breach if the breach is capable of being remedied;
      2. breach any of these terms and the breach is not capable of being remedied (which includes without limitation any breach of clause 4.4 or any non-payment of Access Fees or any other setup, implementation, training or support fees that are more than thirty (30) days overdue); or
      3. You or your business become insolvent or your business goes into liquidation or has a receiver or manager appointed of any of its assets or if You become insolvent, or make any arrangement with your creditors, or become subject to any similar insolvency event in any jurisdiction, Cirrus8 may take any or all of the following actions, at its sole discretion:
        1. We may Terminate this Agreement and your use of the Service;
        2. Suspend for any definite or indefinite period of time, your use of the Service;
        3. Suspend or terminate access to all or any Data; or
        4. Take any of the actions in sub-clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this clause 9.3 in respect of any or all other persons whom You have authorised to have access to your information or Data. For the avoidance of doubt, if payment of any invoice for Access Fees or any other setup, implementation, training or other related fees due in relation to any of your billing contacts, billing plans or any of your organisations (as defined at clause 4) is not made in full by the relevant payment due date, Cirrus8 may suspend or terminate your use of the Service, the authority for all or any of your organizations to use the Service, or your rights of access to all or any Data.
    4. Accrued Rights:
      Termination of this Agreement and use of the Service is without prejudice to any rights and obligations of the parties accrued up to and including the date of termination. On termination of this Agreement You will:
      1. remain liable for any accrued charges and amounts which become due for payment before or after termination; and
      2. immediately cease to use the Service.
    5. Expiry or termination:
      Clauses 4.1, 4.7, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 survive the expiry or termination of these terms.
    6. Data hosting:
      As long as You have an existing paid up subscription with Cirrus8, we will continue to house, backup and maintain your data. When the subscription period ends through termination then You permanently lose the ability to access the data. On termination Cirrus8 will take steps to delete the data. It is thus imperative that before termination You extract all of the data You require, by running reports, downloading files or copying various other information stored within Cirrus8.

  11. GENERAL
    1. Entire agreement:
      These terms, together with any signed proposal, the Cirrus8 Privacy Policy and the terms of any other notices or instructions given to You under these Terms of Use, supersede and extinguish all prior agreements, representations (whether oral or written), and understandings and constitute the entire agreement between You and Cirrus8 relating to the Services and the other matters dealt with in these terms.
    2. Waiver:
      If either party waives any breach of these terms, this will not constitute a waiver of any other breach. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by each party. Any failure of Cirrus8 to enforce any clause of this Agreement, or any forbearance, delay or indulgence granted by Cirrus8 to You, will not be construed as a waiver of Cirrus8's rights under this Agreement.
    3. Force Majeure:
      Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement (other than an obligation to pay money) if such delay or non-performance is due to Force Majeure. If the delay or failure of a party to perform its obligations is caused or anticipated due to Force Majeure, the performance of that party's obligations will be suspended. If a delay or failure by a party to perform its obligations due to Force Majeure exceeds sixty (60) days, either party may immediately terminate the Agreement on providing notice in writing to the other party.
    4. No Assignment:
      You may not assign, novate or transfer any rights to any other person without Cirrus8's prior written consent.
    5. No Partnership:

    6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction:

      This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws in force in Western Australia.

      Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Western Australia and any Courts which have jurisdiction to hear appeals from any of those Courts and waives any right to object to any proceeding being brought in any of those Courts.

    7. Disputes:

      A party claiming that a dispute has arisen must notify the other party to the dispute, giving details of the dispute.

      2. if the parties are unable to agree on a mediator within seven (7) days after the referral for mediation, a mediator nominated by the then current President of the Law Society of Western Australia, Inc. or the President's nominee. Any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement which cannot be settled by mediation shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the Rules for the Conduct of Commercial Arbitrations for the time being of the Resolution Institute Australia. During such arbitration, both parties may be legally represented. Nothing in this clause shall prevent a party from seeking urgent equitable relief before an appropriate court.
    8. Severability:
      If any part or provision of these terms is invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with the law, that part or provision is replaced with a provision which, as far as possible, accomplishes the original purpose of that part or provision. The remainder of this Agreement will be binding on the parties.
    9. Notices:
      Any notice given under these terms by either party to the other must be in writing by email and will be deemed to have been given on transmission.

  12. GST
    1. Definitions:

      For the purpose of this clause 12:

      “GST” means GST within the meaning of the GST Act.

      1. Unless expressly included the consideration for any supply made under this Agreement does not include GST.
      2. To the extent that a party makes a taxable supply in connection with this Agreement for consideration, the consideration for that supply is increased by the amount determined by that party, not exceeding the amount of that consideration multiplied by the rate at which GST is imposed in respect of the supply.
      3. If there is an adjustment to the consideration payable in respect of any supply made by a party under or in connection with this Agreement, the amount determined under sub-clause 12.2(b) above shall be adjusted accordingly.

      The party supplying the taxable supply shall provide a Tax Invoice no later than seven (7) days following payment of the GST inclusive consideration determined under sub-clause 12.2 above.
