03. Services Offered by The Provider

The Provider will provide to the User one or more of the following online services (as determined by the Provider in its absolute discretion from time to time) in accordance with and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement ("Services"):
access to the Site (although the Provider may restrict access to certain parts of the Site from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion); access to and licensing for the "Entropy Keycrypt" app; and the provision of any other goods and services from the Provider as set out in this Agreement. The User agrees that the Provider may make Rules which apply from time to time in relation to the use of the Services and the Site. The User agrees that it is bound by these Rules. To the extent of any conflict between the Rules and this Agreement then this Agreement will prevail.

04. Payments

04.01 The amount payable by a User
The Provider may from time to time specify that certain amounts are payable ("Fee") in order to access the Site or use the Services or any part of the Services. The User agrees to pay the Fee where it is charged by the Provider.

04.02 How is the Fee paid?
The Fee may be paid using a method of payment which is specified by the Provider from time to time which may include credit card, direct debit, or telegraphic transfer.

04.03 GST and other Taxes
Expressions used in this clause 04.03 have the same meaning as when used in the GST Act. The Provider warrants that it is registered or required to be registered under the GST Act. If a Party makes a taxable supply under this Agreement, except where this Agreement otherwise, the payment made by a party for the taxable supply is expressed as a GST exclusive amount. The party liable to pay for a taxable supply to which this clause applies, must also pay the amount of any GST payable in respect of the taxable supply on the date on which payment for the taxable supply is due. However, if the Provider is required to include GST in respect of the supply it makes under this Agreement in a GST return for a tax period which ends on a date which is earlier than the date for payment, then the User must pay the GST payable in respect of the supply on that earlier date. A party is not obliged to pay the GST on a taxable supply to it, until given a valid tax invoice for the supply. If the Provider is required to pay any Taxes (other than GST) in addition to the Fee then the User will pay the Provider an additional amount such that after the deduction of such Taxes, the Provider receives no less than the Fee.

05. Refunds

Any refund of the Fee for defective Services will only be provided where required by law and/or in accordance with any refund policy the Provider has in place from time to time.

06. Suspension of Services

06.01 Without limiting the Provider’s other rights arising under this Agreement, the Provider may suspend the User Account and the User's use of the Services at any time, with or without notice to the User, and for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, including if: the Provider considers that the User has breached any of its obligations under this Agreement; the Provider considers that the User Account is being used in bad faith; in the Provider’s sole and absolute opinion, the provision of the Services to the User is resulting in an unreasonable load on the Provider’s servers or the Provider’s other services; or for any other reason determined by the Provider.

06.02 The User agrees: the Provider may suspend the provision of the Services to the User where permitted under clause REF 06.01 at any time; the Provider’s suspension of the Services may, in the Provider’s sole discretion, apply to only some of the Services and/or for a fixed or indefinite period of time; and the Provider may in its sole discretion reactivate the Services and the User Account for the User at any time following their suspension.

07. Privacy

The Provider may collect the User's personal information including name, contact details and payment details (including, without limitation, credit card details) ("Personal Information"). All Personal Information will be handled, used, maintained and disclosed by the Provider in accordance with all applicable privacy laws and data protection laws as well as its privacy policy which applies from time to time. The User agrees that it will only use the Personal Information of other Users only for the purposes of interacting with them in relation to the Services.

08. Term and Termination

This Agreement will commence on the date that the User first accesses the Site or Services and will apply at all times during which the User uses the Services, accesses, views or visits the Site. This Agreement and the User Account may be terminated by the Provider at any time for any reason whatsoever with or without notice to the User. Upon the termination of this Agreement the Provider will, within a time period determined by the Provider, withdraw the use of the Services from the User. The User's obligations and the Provider rights arising under clauses REF 6, REF 7, REF 9, REF 10, REF 11, REF 12, REF 13 and REF 14 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

09. Relationship of the Parties

The Provider is an independent service provider to the User and is not its partner, employee or agent. The User does not have the power to bind the Provider in relation to any obligation owing to a third party. The User agrees that by using the Services that the Provider, in providing the Services and access to the Site, is providing in part a platform or venue for the User to interact with other Users. The Provider is not a party to that separate interaction and is not responsible for any act or omission of any party to that separate interaction.

10. Licensing

10.01 Entropy requires additional licensing when used in the course of activities related to your professional role in certain defined categories ("Professional Categories").

12. Limitation of Liability and Implied Terms

The User acknowledges that the Provider and its third party providers have made no warranties that the Services will be error free. The User agrees that the Provider and its third party providers will not be liable or responsible for any failure in, or delay to, the provision of the Services or in the Provider complying with its obligations under this Agreement where such failure or delay has a arisen as a direct or indirect result of: fire, earthquake, storm, flood, hurricane, inclement weather or other act of God, war, terrorism, explosion, sabotage, industrial accident or an industrial strike; denial of service attacks, telecommunications failure, hardware failure or the failure of software provided by a third party to function in accordance with its specifications; a significant demand is placed on the Provider's services which is above the usual level of demand and which results in a failure of the Provider's software and hardware to function correctly; the failure of any third party (including without limitation, any bank or other financial organisation) to fulfil any obligations to the Provider; or any other circumstances or event similar to the above which are beyond the reasonable control of the Provider. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Provider and its third party providers have not made and will not make any express or implied warranties in relation to the Services or any other goods or services provided by the Provider under this Agreement, other than those warranties expressly contained in this Agreement. Subject to clause REF 12, any term that would be implied into this Agreement, including without limitation any condition or warranty, is hereby excluded. Subject to clause REF 12, the User agrees that the Provider and its third party providers will not be liable in respect of any claim by the User (whether contractual, tortious, statutory or otherwise) for any direct, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages or injury including, but not limited to, any loss of profits, contracts, revenue or data arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services on the Site or the provision of any other goods or services under this Agreement and whether as a result of any breach or default by, or any negligence of, the Provider or its third party providers. The maximum liability of the Provider under this Agreement for any and all breaches of this Agreement and for any negligence in relation to this Agreement, will not exceed the amount of the Fee paid for the Services by the User. If no Fee is paid, then the maximum liability of the Provider for the forgoing will be AUD $2.00. If the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) (or analogous legislation) applies to this Agreement and permits the limitation of liability for breach of warranty implied by legislation, the liability of the Provider is limited, at the option of the Provider, to: in the case of goods, any one or more of the following: the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; the repair of the goods; the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and in the case of services: the supplying of the services again; or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement which limit or exclude any term, condition or warranty, express or implied, or the liability of the Provider will apply to the extent permitted by law and will not be construed as excluding, qualifying or limiting your statutory rights or remedies arising by virtue of the breach of any implied term of this Agreement where such exclusion, qualification or limitation would be prohibited by legislation.


13. Indemnity

The User indemnifies the Provider, its agents, officers, employees, and third party providers ("Indemnified") against any loss, cost, expense or damage (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis) which any of the Indemnified suffer or incur as a direct or indirect result of: any breach by the User of any representation, warranty or term of this Agreement; any acts or omissions by the User which are described in clause REF 7.1; any breach by the User of its obligations to a third party, including another User; any infringement by the User of the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party; and any legal proceedings threatened or initiated against the Provider by a third party as a result of the events described in clause REF 12 above.

While the Provider uses best-efforts and Services are implemented on a best effort basis with due attention to detail, they are provided to the User AS-IS. The Provider only guarantees that the entropy of an isolated system can generally increase. The Provider makes no other warranties, express or implied, and hereby disclaims all implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability and warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
