The liability of Easy To Use under this agreement or with respect to the Product, which cannot be lawfully excluded, is limited, at the option of Easy To Use, to the re-supply of the Product or the payment of the cost of having the Product re-supplied reduced to the extent that such liability is caused by your negligent acts and/or omissions and/or a breach by you of the terms of this agreement.

Term

The term of this agreement will commence on the date you accept these terms and conditions and end 1 month after that date (Initial Term). Unless you advise Easy To Use in writing at least 14 days before the end of the Initial Term that you do not want to continue to use the Product, the term of this agreement will continue to apply on a month to month basis until you advise Easy To Use in writing that you no longer wish to use the Product.

Fees and charges - Basis of fees

Before Easy To Use allowed you to use the Product, you acknowledge that Easy To Use provided you with details of the fees you need to pay to continue with that use and that those fees need to be paid by you in order to allow you to continue to use the Product. As at the date of this agreement, the monthly subscription fee for the use of the Product starts at $125.00 per month for the base system (exclusive of GST) (Subscription Fee) however this fee is subject to change as outlined below.

Payment options

Easy To Use prefers that the Subscription Fees and all other fees be paid by credit card or a debit card. It is your responsibility to ensure that there are current details for a valid, working credit card or debit card with sufficient funds to pay for all fees charged to that card. If the Subscription Fee is paid by credit card or debit card, then the Subscription Fee must be paid on the 15th day of each month in arrears and which will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis on the first and last month of the term of this agreement.
If you wish to pay the Subscription Fee by cash or any other means other than by way of credit card or debit card, then you will be required to pay the Subscription Fee annually in advance.

Commencement

An initial payment is required for the setup/other costs to commence your subscription. The first monthly payment will be debited in the month that the Product is available for your use.

Change in Subscription Fees

Unfortunately, it is necessary to review the Subscription Fees and to increase them from time to time (Typically CPI). If Easy To Use needs to increase their fees for any reason, Easy To Use will provide you with notice of the change in the Subscription Fees. Easy To Use understands that an increase in the Subscription Fees impacts on your operation and because of this it will not ask you to pay any increased amount until 14 days after Easy To Use advise you of the proposed increase. After that period the new fees will apply to your use of the Product.

If You do not pay any amount due under this agreement by the due date, then if demanded by Easy To Use, you must pay a late payment fee and any other any fees, costs, expenses or charges incurred by Easy To Use as a result of that non-payment (including legal costs).

Termination

Easy To Use can terminate this agreement immediately if you:

  • do not pay any money owed by the due date;
  • if you breach any other term of this agreement and do not remedy that breach to the satisfaction of Easy To Use within 7 days of being requested to do so; or
  • become subject to bankruptcy, administration, liquidation, receivership or any other form of insolvency event.
