Spotto Terms of Service
By accessing or using the applications and services owned or operated by Spotto Pty Ltd (ABN 59 622 664 046) (referred to as “Spotto”, “us”, “our” or “we” in these Terms), whether through our software app(s) or website (our "Services"), including by creating an account, you are taken to accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below (these "Terms").
We may modify the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If you continue to use the Services after we've notified you that the Terms have been modified, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms then you may no longer use the Services. Because our Services continue to evolve, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
Licence
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Spotto grants you a limited non-exclusive, non- transferable agreement to use our Services and access these Services on internet connected devices that you own or control, and this continues for as long as you maintain a valid subscription (unless otherwise agreed). We reserve all rights in the Services not expressly granted to you under these Terms. You must not: (a) copy, modify or create derivative works based on the Services; (b) distribute, transfer, sublicense, lend or rent the Services to any third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Services.
Creating an Account
In order to use certain features of our Services, you must have an account with us. By creating an account, you represent that (a) all required information you provide is truthful and accurate and not misleading or deceptive; (b) you are authorised by your company/organisation/government agency to enter into agreement; (c) you are of legal age and have all necessary capacity to agree to these Terms; and (d) your use of our Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation or these Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for any and all use of your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account or access to your password. If you violate these Terms, we reserve the right at our discretion to issue you a warning, suspend or terminate these Terms (which means your account, along with your ability to access and use the Services will come to an end).
Spotto Subscription Fees
The Services are charged per configured reader in your account on a monthly basis. There are no per-user or per-asset subscription charges associated with the Services. The subscription fee per reader is charged in accordance with the price list published by Spotto from time to time, subject to any variation or discount agreed to by Spotto or your authorised Spotto reseller. You will be invoiced at the beginning of each month for each reader that is present in your account at any time during the previous month. This is calculated by adding the reader count at the beginning of each month to the records of readers added to the account during the month, minus any readers removed from your account during the month. These records are available for you to review in your account.
You may opt to pay in advance for your Spotto subscription charges. In this case you may configure readers into Spotto up to the number paid for in your invoice. If you configure more readers than the reader numbers paid for then you will be charged on a monthly basis for any additional readers at the same monthly charge as agreed for your in-advance payment, or as agreed to by Spotto or your Authorised Spotto reseller.
Invoicing and Payment
We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly. You must pay us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Service Offerings as described in Spotto Subscription Fees in these Terms using one of the payment methods we support. You must pay within 14 days of the due date for your Spotto Subscription Fees. If you do not pay within this time, Spotto reserves the right to suspend your Spotto account. All amounts payable by you under these Terms will be paid to us without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and charges for any new Service or new feature of a Service will be effective when we post updated fees and charges on the Spotto Site, unless we state a later date in a notice given to you. We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least 60 days’ prior notice. We may charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.
Taxes
All fees payable by you are exclusive of GST (or any other applicable value added tax or Indirect Taxes). We will charge and you will pay applicable GST (or other applicable Indirect Taxes) where we are obligated or authorised to collect such taxes from you. All payments made by you to us under these Terms must be made free of any deduction or withholding, and if any such withholding (including but not limited to cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, you must pay such additional amounts so that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and payable under these Terms.
Content You Provide
You are responsible for the content you provide through our Services, such as reader names, location names or asset names (your "Content"), and its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. You should only upload Content that you create or have the right to use and publish.
Enforcement
We have the right (but not the obligation) to review any or all portions of your Content and delete (or modify) any of your Content from our Services for any reason, including if we believe, in our sole judgement, your Content violates these Terms, or that we believe threatens the safety of, or harms any other person, or creates liability for us or any other person. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to investigate and take appropriate action, including removing your Content from our Services (or modifying it), suspending or terminating your account and/or suspending or terminating the provision of our Services to you, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities, if you violate any provision of these Terms. In order to cooperate with governmental requests, subpoenas or court orders, to protect our systems, service providers, partners, and other users, or to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, we may access and disclose any information or content we consider necessary or appropriate, including your account information (i.e. name, e-mail address, etc.), IP address and traffic information, usage history, your Content, and your conduct.
