  1. Customer Responsibilities

3.1       You are responsible and liable for all uses of the Services and Documentation resulting from access provided by you, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of these Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you are responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorised Users, and any act or omission by an Authorised User that would constitute a breach of these Terms if taken by you will be deemed a breach of these Terms by you. You must use reasonable efforts to make all Authorised Users aware of these Terms as applicable to such Authorised User’s use of the Services and must cause Authorised Users to comply with these Terms.

3.2       The Services may permit access to Third-Party Products. Access to Third-Party Products is subject to their own terms and conditions presented to you for acceptance within the Services by website link or otherwise. If you do not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then you should not install, access, or use such Third-Party Products. Zeligate does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such Third-Party Products. If you access a Third-Party Product from the Services or share your Customer Content on or through any third-party website or service, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that these Terms and the Privacy Policy do not apply to your use of such sites. You release Zeligate from any and all liability arising from your use of any Third-Party Products including, without limitation, Customer Content submitted by other Users. Additionally, your dealings with or participation in promotions of advertisers found on the Services, including payment and delivery of goods, and any other terms (such as warranties) are solely between you and such advertisers. You agree that Zeligate is not responsible for any loss or damage of any sort relating to your dealings with such advertisers.

3.3       You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Zeligate shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction.

  1. Payment of Fees and Taxes

4.1       In consideration of Zeligate providing you with access and a license in accordance with clauses 2.1 and 2.2 to use the Services, you agree to pay the Fees to Zeligate. The Fees you have agreed to pay, the billing period and the Payment Method are as agreed by you and set out in your Account Details from time to time.

4.2       The Fees will initially be at the level accepted by you in the application or registration process and, thereafter, at the level that may be notified to you from time to time in accordance with clause 10.3 or as adjusted by you, where permitted, in your Account Details. Zeligate may change the basis upon which it charges Fees from time to time in accordance with clause 10.3.

4.3       Fees that are periodic subscription fees will be invoiced, and are payable, in advance. All other Fees, including Fees for additional credits or services purchased will be invoiced, and are payable, at the time of purchase.

4.4       Payments will be made automatically by using your Payment Method. If your Payment Method lapses, or if Zeligate is otherwise unable to collect and remit Fees from you that are due and owing to Zeligate, Zeligate reserves the right to: (a) invoice you for the Fees which will be payable in accordance with Zeligate’s standard trading terms; and (b) suspend and revoke your access to the Services.

4.5       We or our third-party service providers may offer free trials to a particular Service. We or our third-party service provider will automatically bill your Payment Method on the later of the day your free trial ends or the day you start your paid subscription, and on each recurring billing date thereafter, subject to clause 4.7. We will notify you prior to the end of your free trial period and notify you that payment for your subscription is due. If you wish to avoid charges to your Payment Method, you must cancel your subscription prior to midnight AET on the last day of your free trial period. If you cancel your subscription during a free trial, cancellation may be effective immediately.

4.6       All Fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services (including GST under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act, 1999 (Cth)) or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future (Taxes). You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or as a result of your use, subscription to or purchase of Zeligate’s products and services. To the extent that Zeligate charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. Such amounts are in addition to the Fees for such products and services and will be billed to you through your Account.

4.7       Fees for your subscription to the Services are at the rate set out in your Account as may be adjusted in accordance with clause 4.2 and will automatically renew periodically in accordance with your selection in the Account Terms on a continuous basis unless and until you notify us that you want to terminate your subscription. Any notice of termination must be submitted through your Account Details in your Account and will be effective at the end of the then current period to which the subscription relates provided that you give us at least 3 days’ notice of termination prior to the end of your then current subscription period. If you do not give us at least 3 days’ notice of termination prior to the end of your then current subscription period, your subscription will renew for an additional period and terminate at the end of the next subscription period. You acknowledge and agree that unless and until you notify us of your termination, your subscription and all corresponding Fees will automatically renew and you authorise us or our authorised payment provider (without notice to you, unless required by law) to charge you the applicable Fees and Taxes using any eligible Payment Method we have on record for you.

4.8       For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to Zeligate under these Terms will be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever.
