7. Overseas Disclosure
netizenix is based in Australia; however, the third-party software platform, hosting, payment, analytics and support providers we use to deliver the Services may store or process personal information outside Australia, including in the United States and Europe. Where we disclose personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps, consistent with APP 8, to ensure those recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with the APPs, including through contractual arrangements. By accessing or using the Services or otherwise providing information to us, you acknowledge that your information may be subject to processing, transfer and storage in jurisdictions where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under Australian law.
8. Information Collected on Behalf of Customers in Providing Our Platform
In the case of personal information we handle or receive on behalf of a customer in connection with their access to, and use of, our Platform (“Customer PI”) - for example, information about a customer’s own loyalty program members - we have no direct relationship with the individuals to whom that information relates. If you are such an individual and are seeking access to, or would like to correct, amend or delete, Customer PI, you should direct your query to the applicable customer. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe to a customer’s request to remove Customer PI. The foregoing does not limit EU or UK individuals from making certain requests relating to their personal data as provided in the Your Rights section below.
We will not use Customer PI except for the purpose of providing and supporting the Services for the applicable customer. Customer PI will be retained for as long as needed for that purpose and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
9. Marketing
Where permitted in our legitimate interests, or with your prior consent where required by law (including the Spam Act 2003 (Cth)), we will use your personal information for marketing and to provide you with promotional communications by email about our products and services. You can opt out of further marketing at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the end of all our marketing and promotional electronic communications to you, or by contacting us using the contact details set out in this Privacy Policy.
10. Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others
We may allow third-party advertising and analytics providers (for example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn) to collect information and serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet and in applications. These entities use technologies including cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other tools to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by netizenix and its service providers to, among other things, analyse and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites, and better understand your online activity. For more information about cookies, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioural advertising purposes, please see our Cookie Policy at this Legal page.
11. Security
We take reasonable steps, including physical, technical and organisational measures, to protect your personal information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Unfortunately, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information submitted to us.
If we become aware of a data breach involving personal information we hold that is likely to result in serious harm, we will assess the breach and, where required, notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Where we handle personal information on behalf of a customer, we will notify the relevant customer without undue delay after becoming aware of a data breach affecting that information so that the customer can meet its own notification obligations.
12. Retention
Your personal information will be retained by netizenix for the duration of your account and may be retained for a period after this time as necessary and relevant to our legitimate interests, our terms of agreement with you and in accordance with applicable legal obligations. This may include retention necessary to meet our tax reporting requirements as well as time required to enforce the relevant terms of agreement or to identify, issue or resolve legal proceedings. Where personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
We may retain a record of your stated objection to the processing of your data, including in respect of an objection to receiving marketing communications, for the sole legitimate purpose of ensuring that we can continue to respect your wishes and not contact you further, during the term of your objection.
13. Access, Correction and Complaints (Australia)
You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you at any time by emailing us at legal@netizenix.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period. If we refuse a request, we will provide you with written reasons and the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal.
If you have a complaint about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first at legal@netizenix.com and we will endeavour to resolve your complaint promptly. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au or by phone on 1300 363 992.
14. Your Rights (EU and UK Users)

If the requested data is Customer PI, please include the name of the applicable customer in your request; we will refer the request to that customer to respond directly to you and will support them as needed to respond to your request.
You can contact us about any data protection matter, including to exercise the rights above, at legal@netizenix.com. We have not appointed a separate data protection officer; privacy matters are handled by netizenix at that address. Where we are required to designate a representative in the European Union or the United Kingdom under Article 27 of the GDPR, we will publish that representative’s contact details in this Privacy Policy.

With regard to Customer Data, Customer shall not use the Services to Process any Sensitive Information and shall use reasonable efforts to restrict the inclusion of other Personal Information in Customer Data. The Documentation provides further information on both filtering Personal Information from, and masking Personal Information in, data before they are submitted to the Services.
5.4. netizenix may Process information about Customer’s configuration and use of the Services (“Usage Data”), Customer Data and Account Data: (a) to manage Customer’s account; (b) to provide and improve the Services and Support, including to address Support Requests and troubleshoot other issues; and (c) to provide Customer and Authorized Users insights, service and feature announcements and other reporting. netizenix may also Process Usage Data that has been aggregated and/or anonymised (including, for clarity, that does not allow a third party to identify Customer as the source of the information): (i) to develop new services and features and (ii) to promote netizenix’s services, including, for example, through analyses of patterns and trends. Customer acknowledges that netizenix uses third-party software platform, hosting and infrastructure providers to deliver the Services, and that Usage Data, Customer Data and Account Data may be Processed by those providers (including outside Australia) solely in connection with the provision of the Services. netizenix’s Processing of Usage Data, Customer Data and Account Data shall at all times be subject to netizenix’s obligations under this Agreement, including those of security under Section 5.1 and confidentiality under Section 11; the DPA (as defined in Section 7.1), if applicable; and, with respect to Account Data, the Privacy Policy.
6. Customer Responsibilities and Restrictions
6.1. Customer will be solely responsible for: (a) Customer’s Environment, including as necessary to enable Authorized Users’ access and use of the Services; (b) Account Data, Customer Data and Customer Credentials (including activities conducted with Customer Credentials), subject to netizenix’s Processing obligations under this Agreement; (c) providing any required notices to, and receiving any required consents and authorisations from, Customer Component providers, Authorized Users and persons whose Personal Information may be included in Account Data, Customer Data or Customer Credentials; and (d) ensuring use of the Services is only for Customer’s Environment and in accordance with the AUP, Documentation and applicable Third-Party Terms.

6.3. netizenix reserves the right to investigate potential violations of the above provisions of this Section 6. In the event netizenix reasonably believes a violation has occurred, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity (including termination pursuant to Section 13.6), netizenix will have the right to suspend Authorized Users suspected of the violation from accessing the Services for so long as is reasonably necessary to address the potential violation. Except where netizenix reasonably believes the violations are wilful, or in urgent or emergency situations, netizenix will notify Customer of any such suspension in advance (each, a “Suspension Notice”) and work with Customer in good faith to resolve the potential violation. For clarity, netizenix reserves the right, but does not assume any obligation to Customer (except with respect to the Suspension Notice), to take any of the actions described in this Section 6.3.
7. Compliance with Applicable Laws
Each Party agrees to comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to its performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:
7.1. Each Party shall comply with Applicable Laws concerning the privacy and protection of Personal Information, including (as applicable) the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Without limiting Section 6.1, Customer will be solely responsible for providing any notices required by Applicable Law to, and receiving any consents and authorisations required by Applicable Law from, persons whose Personal Information may be included in Account Data, Customer Data or Customer Credentials. Without limiting Section 5.3, if Customer believes Customer Data may include the Personal Information of natural persons located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and wishes to execute a Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) pursuant to the GDPR, Customer may do so by submitting a request by email to legal@netizenix.com. Promptly following netizenix’s receipt of Customer’s request, netizenix will send Customer a DPA ready for execution.
7.2. Each Party shall comply with Applicable Laws concerning anti-bribery and anti-corruption, which may include the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth), the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and the UK Bribery Act 2010. As of the date of this Agreement and the date of each Order, Customer represents that it has neither received nor been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift or thing of value from any employee, agent or representative of netizenix in connection with this Agreement. Customer agrees to promptly notify netizenix if it learns of any violation of the foregoing. This representation is not intended to include customary and reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business, to the extent such gifts and entertainment are permitted by Applicable Law.
7.3. Each Party shall (a) comply with Applicable Laws imposing export controls and trade sanctions, including Australian sanctions laws such as the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 (Cth) and the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (Cth), and other applicable export control and trade sanction laws (“Export Laws”), including those designating sanctioned countries, entities and persons (“Sanctions Targets”), and (b) not directly or indirectly export, re-export or otherwise deliver Services to a Sanctions Target, or broker, finance or otherwise facilitate any transaction in violation of any Export Laws. Customer represents that it is not a Sanctions Target or prohibited from receiving Services pursuant to this Agreement under Applicable Laws, including Export Laws.
8. Pricing and Fees
8.1. Customer agrees to pay all fees charged by netizenix for Customer’s use of Services in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Order(s) and Service Plan(s) (collectively, “Fees”). Except as otherwise provided in an Order: (a) Fees for Services are set forth on the Pricing Page; (b) Fees must be paid in Australian dollars and, subject to Section 8.2, at the time the applicable Order is made; and (c) Fees for Services include Support at no additional charge.
8.2. If Customer is paying Fees using a credit card or any digital payment method supported by netizenix, Customer authorises netizenix to charge Customer’s account for the Services using that payment method. Customer must keep all information in its billing account current to ensure that all Fees are charged to the appropriate account and are timely paid. If Customer notifies netizenix to stop using a previously designated payment method and fails to designate an alternative, netizenix may immediately suspend use and access to the Services. Any notice from Customer changing its billing account will not affect charges netizenix submits to Customer’s billing account before netizenix reasonably can act on Customer’s request. netizenix uses third-party payment processors (such as Stripe and PayPal) to manage payment processing, and these processors are not permitted to use Customer’s payment information except in connection with Customer’s authorised purchases. Notice (including email) from netizenix’s third-party payment processor declining Customer’s payment method or otherwise relating to Customer’s account will be deemed valid notice from netizenix.
9. Taxes and GST
9.1. All Fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties or charges imposed by government authorities (collectively, “Taxes”), including GST.
9.2. If GST is payable on any supply made by netizenix under or in connection with this Agreement, Customer must pay to netizenix, in addition to the Fees, an amount equal to the GST payable on that supply, at the same time as the Fees are payable, subject to netizenix providing Customer with a tax invoice. In this Agreement, “GST” has the meaning given in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).
9.3. Customer shall be solely responsible for all sales, service, value-added, use, excise, consumption and any other Taxes on amounts payable by Customer under the Orders and this Agreement (other than any Taxes on netizenix’s income, revenues or assets). Without limiting the foregoing, if Customer is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes under Applicable Laws outside Australia, Customer shall remit such Taxes in accordance with those Applicable Laws and all Fees payable shall be increased so that netizenix receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no withholding or deduction been made.
10. Ownership
As between the Parties: (a) Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to Customer’s Environment and Customer Data, including in each case all associated Intellectual Property Rights, and (b) netizenix owns or licenses all right, title and interest in and to the Services, Documentation and Feedback, including in each case all associated Intellectual Property Rights. Except for the rights expressly granted by one Party to the other in this Agreement, all rights are reserved by the granting Party.
11. Confidentiality
11.1. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one Party, its business partners or their respective employees, agents or contractors (collectively, the “Discloser”) that is designated as confidential, either orally or in writing, or that, given the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Confidential Information includes without limitation: (a) Customer Data; (b) information relating to the Discloser’s technology, customers, business plans, promotional and marketing activities, finances and other business affairs; (c) third-party information that the Discloser is obligated to keep confidential; and (d) the terms of this Agreement and all Orders.

11.2. The Recipient shall not (a) use the Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement without the Discloser’s prior written consent or (b) disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Recipient’s employees, agents, contractors and service providers who (i) are bound by non-use and non-disclosure obligations at least as protective as those contained in this Agreement and (ii) have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Recipient to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the limited extent any use or disclosure is required by Applicable Law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a subpoena or court order), provided that, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Recipient uses reasonable efforts to give the Discloser reasonable advance notice thereof to afford the Discloser an opportunity to intervene and seek an order or other appropriate relief for the protection of its Confidential Information. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of its obligations under this Section, the Discloser will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such obligations.
12. Disclaimers and No Advice
12.1. SUBJECT TO SECTION 20, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED, EXPRESS, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

12.3. No Advice. The Services comprise a software product and hosted service only. netizenix does not provide, and nothing in the Services, the Documentation or any related material constitutes, professional, legal, financial, tax, marketing, business or other advice, or any consulting services. Any reports, analytics, insights, templates or similar materials generated by or made available through the Services are provided for general information purposes only. Customer is solely responsible for evaluating the suitability of the Services for its business, for all decisions made in reliance on the Services and for obtaining its own independent professional advice where required.

In all other cases, and regardless of whether Customer uses the Services at the levels reflected in the Orders or otherwise, Customer will not be entitled to a refund of Fees paid (subject to Section 20 and any non-excludable rights under Applicable Law) and any unpaid Fees outstanding will become immediately due and payable.
13.4. Provided Customer has paid all amounts due under this Agreement, and subject to any applicable shorter Service Plan retention periods, for up to 30 days from the effective date of termination of this Agreement an Authorized User designated by Customer will be permitted to continue to access and download Customer Data that was accessible to Authorized Users through the Services immediately prior to termination. The designated Authorized User’s access and use will continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement, provided the Authorized User shall not access or use the Services other than to download Customer Data.
13.5. The provisions set forth in the following Sections, and any other right or obligation of the Parties in this Agreement that, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 5.4, 6.2, 7 through 15, and 17 through 27.
13.6. Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and each affected Order, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement or an Order and, where the breach is capable of cure, fails to cure it within 30 days after receiving written notice describing the breach. In addition, netizenix may, effective immediately upon written notice, suspend or terminate this Agreement and each affected Order if: (a) Customer fails to pay any Fees when due and does not cure that failure within 10 days after receiving written notice; (b) Customer or an Authorized User materially breaches Section 6.2 or the AUP; or (c) netizenix is required to do so to comply with Applicable Law or a binding order of a governmental body. Termination under this Section 13.6 is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the terminating Party and does not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay Fees accrued before the effective date of termination.
14. Indemnification
14.1. Subject to Sections 14.2 and 14.4, netizenix agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer, its Participating Affiliates (as defined in Section 18) and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors (collectively, “Customer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including without limitation legal fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or related to any legal claim, suit, action or proceeding (each, an “Action”) by a third party alleging that use of the Services as permitted under this Agreement infringes such third party’s patent, copyright or trade mark, or misappropriates such third party’s trade secrets (each, a “Customer Infringement Claim”).
14.2.

An Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own expense with counsel of its own choice.

The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the Indemnitee’s written consent if such settlement shall require action or payment by the Indemnitee.

Neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by acts of God; flood, fire or explosion; war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; or national or regional emergency (each of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”), in each case, provided the event is outside the reasonable control of the affected Party, the affected Party provides prompt notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue, and the affected Party uses diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and minimise the effects of such Force Majeure Event.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 27, this Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by authorised representatives of the Parties. The failure of a Party to exercise or enforce any condition, term or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such condition, term or provision.

“Services” means the hosted services to which Customer subscribes through, or otherwise uses following, an Order that are made available by netizenix online via the applicable login page and other web pages designated by netizenix. netizenix may make such changes to the Services as netizenix deems appropriate from time to time, provided such changes do not materially decrease the features or functionality of the Services as they existed at the effective date of this Agreement.
“Support” means netizenix’s standard customer technical support for the Services, currently provided exclusively via email.
“Third-Party Terms” means the terms, conditions and policies that apply to any Customer Component or other third-party product or service, as between Customer and the relevant third party.
26. Counterparts
Any written Order may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to an Order by email of a scanned copy, or execution and delivery through an electronic signature service (such as DocuSign), shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of the relevant Order.
27. Changes to this Agreement
netizenix may modify this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version at this Legal page, which modifications will become effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the month in which they were first posted; provided, however, that if an Order specifies a fixed term of 12 months or longer, the modifications will instead be effective immediately upon the start of the next renewal Order Term. In either case, if Customer objects to the updated Agreement, as its sole and exclusive remedy, Customer may choose not to renew, including cancelling any terms set to auto-renew. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of the Agreement in effect at the time of the Order.
