6. ACCESS TO YOUR CUSTOMER DATA OR USE OF THE SERVICES

6.1 BMyIT is not responsible to you or any third party for unauthorized access to your data or the unauthorized use of the Services unless the unauthorized access or use results from BMyIT’s failure to meet its security obligations stated in Section 3 (Our Obligations) of these General Terms and Conditions or the Services Description.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or included in the invoice for the Services, all amounts due to BMyIT under the Agreement are exclusive of the goods and services tax (GST). If BMyIT is required by law to collect GST or any other taxes and levies on the provision of the Service, BMyIT will invoice you for such taxes and levies and you must pay BMyIT the amount of the tax that is due or provide BMyIT with satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the respective tax. The obligation to pay any taxes that Customer may be required to pay in connection with Customer’s use of Services or Customer’s payment of amounts due to BMyIT under the Agreement shall be borne exclusively by Customer.

7.2 Withholding Taxes. All payments to BMyIT shall be made without any withholding or deduction for any Taxes, except for any withholding (or similar) taxes imposed on income that may be attributed to BMyIT in connection with its provision of the Services that you are legally required to withhold from such payment and remit to the applicable governmental or taxing authority (such taxes, “Local Withholding Taxes”). You agree to timely provide BMyIT with adequate and accurate factual information and documentation (as determined by BMyIT), including tax receipts, of your payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes. BMyIT shall remit such cost to you in the form of a credit on your outstanding account balance following receipt of sufficient evidence of payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes as set forth above.

If your Managed System is compromised, then you must address the vulnerability prior to BMyIT placing the Managed System back in service or, at your request, we may be able to perform this work for you at our standard hourly rates as a Supplementary Service.

13. LIMITATION ON DAMAGES

13.1 We are not liable to you for failing to provide the Services unless such failure results from a breach of a Service Level Guarantee, or results from our gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or intentional breach of the Agreement. The credits stated in the Service Level Guarantee are your sole and exclusive remedy for our failure to meet those guarantees for which credits are provided unless such failure is due to BMyIT’s wilful misconduct.

13.2 Neither of us (nor any of our employees, agents, Affiliates or suppliers) is liable to the other for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary or consequential loss or damages of any kind. In addition, neither of us is liable for any loss that could have been avoided by the damaged party’s use of reasonable diligence, even if the party responsible for the damages has been advised or should be aware of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall either of us be liable to the other for any punitive damages or for any loss of profits, revenue, customers, contracts or goodwill.

13.3 We are not liable to you for lost data unless and to the extent you purchase data backup services from BMyIT and we fail to provide the backup services as agreed. If you purchase backup services, you release BMyIT from liability for loss of data to the extent that the data has changed since the time that we were last required by the Agreement to perform a backup.

13.4 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, except for liability based on wilful misconduct or fraudulent misrepresentation, and liability for death or personal injury resulting from BMyIT’s negligence, the maximum aggregate monetary liability of BMyIT and any of its employees, agents, suppliers, or affiliates in connection with the Services, the Agreement, and any act or omission related to the Services or Agreement, under any theory of law (including breach of contract, tort, strict liability, violation of law, and infringement) shall not exceed: (i) for Managed Services an amount that is twelve (12) times one month’s recurring fee under the Agreement for the Services that are the subject of the claim as of the time of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claim, and (ii) for Supplementary Services, fees paid for the Supplementary Services that are the subject of the claim.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 If we, our Affiliates, or any of our or their respective employees, agents, or suppliers (the “Indemnitees”) is faced with a legal claim by a third party arising out of your actual or alleged gross negligence, wilful misconduct, violation of law, failure to meet the security obligations required by the Agreement, violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, violation of your agreement with your customers or end users, or violation of Section 8 (Export Matters) or Section 16 (Software) of this General Terms and Conditions, then you will pay the cost of defending the claim (including reasonable attorney fees) and any damages award, fine or other amount that is imposed on the Indemnitees as a result of the claim. Your obligations under this subsection include claims arising out of the acts or omissions of your employees or agents, any other person to whom you have given access to the Services, and any person who gains access to the Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if the acts or omissions of such persons were not authorized by you. You must also pay reasonable attorney fees and other expenses we incur in connection with any dispute between persons having a conflicting claim to control your account with us, or any claim by your customer or end user arising from an actual or alleged breach of your obligations to them.

14.2 We will choose legal counsel to defend the claim, provided that these decisions must be reasonable and must be promptly communicated to you. You must comply with our reasonable requests for assistance and cooperation in the defence of the claim. We may not settle the claim without your consent, although such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. You must pay expenses due under this Section as we incur them.

15. PUBLICITY

You agree that we may publicly disclose that we are providing Services to you and may use your name and logo to identify you as our customer in promotional materials, including press releases. We will not use your name or logo in a manner that suggests an endorsement or affiliation.

16. SOFTWARE

16.1 General.

You may not copy any software we provide for your use unless expressly permitted by the Agreement or use such software after the expiration or termination of the Agreement. You may not remove, modify or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices that appear on any software we provide for your use. Unless permitted by the terms of an open source software license, you may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any software we provide for your use except and to the extent that you are expressly permitted by applicable law to do this, and then following at least ten (10) days advance written notice to us.

16.2 Customer Provided Licenses.

If you use any non-BMyIT provided software on your Managed System you represent and warrant to BMyIT that you have the legal right to use the software in that manner. If BMyIT has agreed to install, patch or otherwise manage software in reliance on your license with a software vendor (rather than BMyIT’s license with the software vendor), then you represent and warrant that you have a written license agreement with the vendor that permits BMyIT to perform these activities. On BMyIT’s request you will certify in writing that you are in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph and any other software license restrictions that are part of the Agreement, and will provide evidence of your compliance as we may reasonably request. If you fail to provide the required evidence of licensing BMyIT may, at its option, either (i) charge you its standard fee for the use of the software in reliance on BMyIT’s licensing agreement with the vendor until such time as the required evidence is provided or (ii) suspend or terminate the Agreement. Please Note: Your licensed software may not be compatible with BMyIT’s standard process for deploying and repairing Managed Systems. In addition, in order to install the software BMyIT may require you to send the physical or electronic media provided to you by the vendor, both for deployment and again in the event of a failure of your Managed System. You agree that BMyIT will not be in breach of any Service Level Guarantee or other obligation under this Agreement that would not have occurred but for a delay resulting from our agreement to use your licensed software.

17. RECOMMENDATIONS

BMyIT personnel may from time to time recommend third party software or other products and services for your consideration. BMYIT MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER REGARDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED FROM BMYIT. Your use of any such products and services is governed by the terms of your agreement with the provider of those products and services.

18. WHO MAY USE THE SERVICE

You may permit your subsidiaries and affiliated companies to use the Services if you wish, however you are responsible for the acts or omissions of your permitted users. BMyIT will provide support only to you, not to your customers, subsidiaries or affiliates. There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement, meaning that your customers, subsidiaries, affiliates and other third parties do not have any rights against either of us under this Agreement.

19. TEST SERVICES

If you use any Services that have been designated as a “Beta” service, limited release, pilot test, or with similar designation, then your use of that Service is subject to the terms at https://bmyit.com.au/legal/testterms.php.

20. SERVICES MANAGEMENT AGENT

You agree that you will not interfere with any services management software agent(s) that BMyIT installs on your Managed System. BMyIT agrees that its agents will use only a minimal amount of computing resources, and will not interfere with your use of your Managed System. BMyIT will use the agents to track system information so that it can more efficiently manage various service issues, such as patching exceptions and product life cycles. BMyIT may also use the agents to identify security vulnerabilities. BMyIT will not use the agents to view or capture your content or data. Your Services will become “unsupported” as described in the Product Terms if you disable or interfere with our services management software agent(s). You agree that BMyIT may access your Managed System to reinstall services management software agents if you disable them or interfere with their performance.

21. NOTICES

Your routine communications to BMyIT regarding the Services, including any notice of non-renewal, should be sent to BMyIT account team at accounts@bmyit.com.au. If you want to give a notice regarding termination of the Agreement for breach, indemnification, or other non-routine legal matter, you should send it by electronic mail and AusPost to:

legalnotice@bmyit.com.au and

BMyIT Pty Ltd P.O. Box 42 Applecross, WA 6953

BMyIT’s routine communications regarding the Services and legal notices will be sent to the electronic mail indicated on your account with BMyIT or sent to the individual(s) you designate as your contact(s) on your account either by electronic mail (including an electronic mail referring you to a ticket posted on your BMyIT Support Portal), AusPost, or overnight courier. Notices are deemed received as of the time posted or delivered, or if that time does not fall within a Business Day, as of the beginning of the first Business Day following the time posted or delivered. For purposes of counting days for notice periods, the Business Day on which the notice is deemed received counts as the first day. Notices must be given in the English language.

22. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Each of us retains all right, title and interest in and to our respective trade secrets, inventions, copyrights and other intellectual property. Any intellectual property developed by BMyIT during the performance of the Services shall belong to BMyIT unless we have agreed with you in advance in writing that you shall have an interest in the intellectual property.

23. OWNERSHIP OF OTHER PROPERTY

You do not acquire any ownership interest in or right to possess the Managed System, and you have no right of physical access to the Managed System. We do not acquire any ownership interest in or right to the information you transmit to or from or store on your BMyIT servers or other devices or media.

24. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT

If BMyIT or any of its customers is faced with a credible claim that the Services infringe on the intellectual property rights of a third party, and BMyIT is not reasonably able to obtain the right to use the infringing element or modify the Services such that they do not infringe, then BMyIT may terminate the Services on reasonable notice of at least ninety (90) days, and will not have any liability on account of such termination except to refund amounts paid for Services not used as of the time of termination.

25. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTORS

Neither party may assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party except that BMyIT may assign the Agreement to an Affiliate with sufficient financial standing in order to meet its obligations under this Agreement or as part of a bona fide corporate reorganization or a sale of its business. BMyIT may use third party service providers to perform all or any part of the Services, but BMyIT remains responsible to you under this Agreement for Services performed by its third party service providers to the same extent as if BMyIT performed the Services itself.

26. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither of us will be in violation of the Agreement if the failure to perform the obligation is due to an event beyond our control, such as significant failure of a part of the power grid, significant failure of the Internet, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labour action, terrorism, or other events of a magnitude or type for which precautions are not generally taken in the industry.

27. GOVERNING LAW, LAWSUITS

The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Western Australia, exclusive of any choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, as applicable. Each of us agrees that any dispute or claim, including without limitation, statutory, contract or tort claims, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the alleged breach of this Agreement, shall, upon timely written request of either of us, be submitted to the courts of Western Australia in accordance with the respective procedural rules.

28. SOME AGREEMENT MECHANICS

These General Terms and Conditions, the applicable Product Terms, and any applicable Country Specific Terms are incorporated in your Agreement by reference to pages on the BMyIT website. Although we may from time to time revise the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms, and Country Specific Terms posted on those pages, those revisions will not be effective as to an Agreement that you signed prior to the date we posted the revisions, and your Agreement will continue to be governed by the General Terms and Conditions and Product Terms posted on the effective date of the Agreement until the first day of any renewal or extended term that follows the date we published the revision. However, if over time you accept multiple Agreements for a single Managed System – for example, to add service elements to an existing Managed System, then the version of the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms and Conditions, and Country Specific Terms (if any) referenced in the last Agreement will govern the entire Managed System, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, the General Terms and Conditions, Product Terms and Conditions, Acceptable Use Policy, Country Specific Terms and Conditions, and any addenda referenced in any of them, may be amended only by a formal written agreement signed by both parties. A Services Description may be amended to modify, add, or remove Services, by a formal written agreement signed by both parties, or by an exchange of correspondence, including via electronic mail or the BMyIT support system, that includes the express consent of an authorized individual for each of us. The pre-printed terms on your purchase order or other business forms will not become part of this Agreement.

If there is a conflict between the terms of any of the documents that comprise the Agreement, the documents will govern in the following order: signature page for Managed Service Agreement, Country Specific Terms (if any), Services Description, Product Terms and Conditions, any addendum to the General Terms and Conditions, the General Terms and Conditions, and the Acceptable Use Policy. If any part of the Agreement is found unenforceable by a court, the rest of the Agreement will nonetheless continue in effect, and the unenforceable part shall be reformed to the extent possible to make it enforceable but still consistent with the business and financial objectives of the parties underlying the Agreement. Each of us may enforce each of our respective rights under the Agreement even if we have waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. The relationship between us is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither of us is the agent for the other, and neither of us has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party. The captions in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement. The use of the word “including” in the Agreement shall be read to mean “including without limitation.” The words “our” and “us” refers to BMyIT, unless the context clearly indicates another meaning. The Agreement is effective when you sign it, even though the “initial term” may be defined in the Agreement with reference to the Service Commencement Date or other date. The following provisions shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: (i) Sections 5.1, 5.2, 7, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 28 of this General Terms and Conditions, (ii) all provisions in the Agreement requiring you to pay fees for Services provided prior to the time of expiration or termination or requiring you to pay an early termination fee, and (iii) all other provisions of the Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

If you have made any change to the Agreement that you did not bring to our attention in a way that is reasonably calculated to put us on notice of the change, the change shall not become part of the Agreement.

The Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, which taken together will be considered one original. Facsimile signatures, signatures on an electronic image (such as .pdf or .jpg format), and electronic signatures shall be deemed to be original signatures.

BMYIT reserves the right to update and change this Agreement from time to time and without notice. You can review the most current version of the Agreement at any time at https://bmyit.com.au/legal.
