Legal

Terms and Conditions

These Terms govern the agreement between the user of the Services and Application (Client) and SuccessFlow. By subscribing to the Services and using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that you have had a sufficient chance to read and understand these Terms and agree to be bound by them.

1. Introduction

These terms and conditions of use (Terms) govern the agreement between the user of the Services and Application (Client) and SuccessFlow.

By subscribing to the Services and using the Application, the Client acknowledges and agrees that it has had a sufficient chance to read and understand these Terms and agrees to be bound by them.

2. Subscription Services

SuccessFlow will provide the Services and use of the Application to the Client subject to these Terms and any policies and guidelines of SuccessFlow published from time to time.

The provision of Services and use of the Application by SuccessFlow will depend on the Subscription Level chosen by the Client:

  • the Subscription Levels are as set by SuccessFlow from time to time and advised to the Client;
  • each Subscription Level may contain a variety of different features or uses;
  • SuccessFlow reserves the right to vary the features of a Subscription Level in accordance with these Terms;
  • a Client may change its Subscription Level with the consent of SuccessFlow provided the Client pays the appropriate fee for that Subscription Level and any variation fee that may be applicable. The Subscription Level may also be changed as set out in this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Client acknowledges and agrees that SuccessFlow may change, modify or remove any Subscription Level at any time at its sole discretion.

The Client agrees to promptly provide SuccessFlow with the following (as may be reasonably requested by SuccessFlow) to enable SuccessFlow to perform the Services and/or use of the Application:

  • access to and authorisation to use all and any data, information, material and content as reasonably required by SuccessFlow;
  • such other information, authorisation and items as may be reasonably requested by SuccessFlow.

Where the Client provides SuccessFlow with information, the Client agrees and warrants that any and all information supplied by the Client is true, accurate, current and complete and the Client either owns or has right to supply the information supplied.

The Client acknowledges that failure to promptly provide the above may restrict SuccessFlow's ability to provide the Services and use of the Application in accordance with these Terms. SuccessFlow will not be liable in any respect where any failure to provide the Services is due to a delay of the Client (or a third party) to provide the required information or the Client (or a third party) providing incorrect or inaccurate information.

The Client further agrees to cooperate with, act reasonably and follow the reasonable directions of SuccessFlow in connection with the use of the Application and this Agreement.

3. Fees

During the Term, the Client will pay the following (as may be applicable):

  • the Subscription Fee (for the agreed Subscription Level) in accordance with SuccessFlow's current payment requirements for the Subscription Fee;
  • any other fees for Additional Services (see clause 7 below).

SuccessFlow may increase the Fee in the following circumstances:

  • where there has been a change in the Subscription Level or type or increase in Services at the request of the Client;
  • periodically by a maximum amount of ten percent (10%) to reflect any increases in costs of offering the Services and use of the Application. The Client will be notified in writing of any increase to the Fee.

If SuccessFlow has not received any payment required in accordance with these Terms, in addition to any other rights and remedies of SuccessFlow, SuccessFlow may without liability to the Client:

  • suspend the provision of the Services and use of the Application to the Client while any payment due and owing to SuccessFlow remains outstanding;
  • disable the Client's access to all or part of the Application and SuccessFlow will be under no obligation to provide any or all of the Services while any payment due and owing to SuccessFlow remains outstanding.

Where there has been a failure to pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, SuccessFlow is under no obligation to commence, recommence or reinstate the Services or use of the Application even if requested by the Client. Any commencement, recommencement or reinstatement will be at SuccessFlow's sole discretion (acting reasonably).

The Client agrees that in the event of any action being taken by SuccessFlow to recover any overdue amount due and owing by the Client pursuant to these Terms, any costs incurred by SuccessFlow in recovering the debt (including without limitation any legal expenses on a solicitor/client basis, collection agency charges (if permissible by law) or any other reasonable associated costs) are payable by the Client to SuccessFlow and shall be recoverable by SuccessFlow as a separate debt.

On termination of this Agreement, all outstanding fees will become payable by the Client to SuccessFlow.

All amounts and fees stated or referred to in this Agreement or communicated to you by SuccessFlow:

  • are exclusive of GST unless otherwise stated;
  • will be in Australian dollars; and
  • are (subject to the terms of this Agreement) non-refundable.

If there is a debt or other moneys due from the Client to SuccessFlow or SuccessFlow has a claim to money against the Client whether for damages or otherwise, arising out of or in any way in connection with this Agreement or on any other legal or equitable basis, then SuccessFlow may withhold, deduct or set-off the debt or other moneys due or claim against any sum which the Client is or may be entitled to arising out of or in any way in connection with this Agreement. Nothing in this clause affects or restricts the right of SuccessFlow to recover from the Client the whole of the debt or claim or any balance that may remain owing.

  • it owns or has the right to use the Application and provide the Services; and

To the extent permitted by Law, the Client indemnifies and holds harmless SuccessFlow, its affiliates, successors and assigns, and its and their personnel, directors, officers, and other licensees (each an Indemnified Party), against any Claim, cause of action, debt, expense or Liability (including legal fees and costs on a solicitor-client basis) incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection with:

  • any breach of this Agreement by the Client or its personnel;
  • any breach of law by the Client or its personnel;
  • a representation made by the Client or its personnel being incorrect or misleading in any way;
  • an act or omission by the Client or its personnel which is not required under this Agreement;
  • personal injury, death or property damage caused or contributed to by the Client or its personnel;
  • any infringement of, or claim in regard to, any third-party Intellectual Property Right arising as a result of the Client or its personnel carrying out its obligations under this Agreement; and
  • the Client's or its personnel's use of the Application or any SuccessFlow application which is negligent or infringes the rights of any third party.

The Client's Liability to indemnify an Indemnified Party under clause 12.1, other than in respect of the indemnity under clause 12.1.6 and clause 12.1.7, will be reduced proportionally to the extent that a negligent act or omission of the Indemnified Party has contributed to the loss, damage, Claim, action, expense, cost or Liability.

It is not necessary for SuccessFlow to incur expense or make any payment before enforcing a right of indemnity conferred by this Agreement.

13. Liability

The Client understands and agrees that SuccessFlow will not have any Liability to the Client or others and is not liable or responsible for:

  • subject to the Australian Consumer Law, the Client's use of the Software in any way;
  • the payment or reimbursement to the Client for any Claims for any expenses incurred by the Client in the performance of its functions and duties under these Terms;
  • any acts or defaults of the Client or the Client's personnel;
  • any unauthorised transactions made using the Client's password or account;
  • the use or non-use of the Client's services by third parties; or
  • the unauthorised use of the Client's password or account that could cause the Client to incur Liability to both SuccessFlow and other Clients.

Any act or omission which, if it were an act or omission of the Client or its personnel, would be a breach of these Terms on its part, is taken to be such an act or omission for which the Client is responsible if the act is done or omitted:

  • by any corporation or association which is controlled directly or indirectly in any manner by the Client;
  • by any firm or unincorporated body of which the Client is a partner or member; or
  • by any third party contracted by the Client.

To the full extent permitted by law SuccessFlow excludes:

  • all liability in respect of loss of data, interruption of business or any Consequential Loss;
  • all liability for service interruptions, delays, downtime, data loss, or damages arising out of or in connection with failures or outages of third-party infrastructure providers (including Lovable Cloud) on which the Application and Services depend; and
  • all representations, warranties or terms (whether express or implied) other than those expressly set out in these Terms.

Where warranties are implied by law, the Client acknowledges and agrees that the total aggregate liability to SuccessFlow is limited at SuccessFlow's discretion to the provision of the Services again, or to a refund equal to the total amount paid by the Client for one (1) month's access to the Application.

These Terms are to be read subject to any legislation which prohibits or restricts the exclusion, restriction or modification of any implied warranties, conditions or obligations.

SuccessFlow's Services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the Service, the Client is entitled:

  • to cancel this Agreement; and
  • to a refund for the unused portion of the Fees.

The Client is also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, the Client is entitled to have problems with the Service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to terminate the Agreement and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the Fees.

14. GST

For the purpose of this clause the following definitions apply:

  • GST means any form of goods and services tax payable under the GST Law;
  • GST Law means the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

Words used in this clause that are defined in the GST Law have the meaning given in that legislation.

Unless otherwise specified, all amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of GST and must be calculated without regard to GST.

If a supply made under this Agreement is a taxable supply, the recipient of that taxable supply (Recipient) must, in addition to any other consideration, pay to the party making the taxable supply (Supplier) the amount of GST in respect of the supply.

The Recipient will only be required to pay an amount of GST to the Supplier if and when the Supplier provides a valid tax invoice to the Recipient in respect of the taxable supply.

If there is an adjustment to a taxable supply made under this Agreement then the Supplier must provide an adjustment note to the Recipient.

The amount of a party's entitlement under this Agreement to recovery or compensation for any of its costs, expenses or Liabilities is reduced by the input tax credits to which that party is entitled in respect of those costs, expenses or Liabilities.

15. Suspension

SuccessFlow may suspend the Services and access to the Application in the following circumstances:

  • at its sole discretion;
  • pursuant to clause 3.3 (non-payment of the Fee);
  • where SuccessFlow believes that the Client's account has been accessed by unauthorised persons or is being used in a manner which breaches these Terms or the law;
  • where the Client has breached this Agreement and failed to rectify such breach within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written notice from SuccessFlow to do so; and/or
  • upon written request of the Client.

SuccessFlow will not be liable to the Client for any Liability or Claim arising as a result of any suspension of the Services or access to the Application.

After the Services and access to the Application have been suspended SuccessFlow may reinstate the Services and access to the Application, but is under no obligation to do so, save for when the Services and access to the Application have been suspended as a result of a request from the Client.
