Terms and Conditions

ALEIGN WEBSITE AND ACCOUNT

These terms and conditions of use (Terms) apply to any person (you or your) accessing the website operated by Aleign Pty Limited (ACN 622 385 335)(Aleign, we, us or our) at https://aleign.com/ (Website) or an account established through the Website accessed via https://makebetter.aleign.com/ (Account).

By accessing and using this Website and/or your Account, you accept these Terms which constitute an agreement between you and Aleign, and if you are an authorised representative of another person (i.e. a company), you confirm that you have authority to, and do in fact, bind that person to these Terms. You must immediately stop using this Website and your Account if you do not accept these Terms.

From time to time, these Terms will be reviewed and may be revised. Aleign reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Any such amendments will be posted on the Website. Your continued use of the Website and/or your Account will constitute your acceptance of the variation of these Terms.

1. How the Website operates

   The Website provides access to a platform for individuals, businesses and organisations to capture, plan, communicate and execute strategies. This is achieved by creating an Account (see below).

2. Your Account

   Access to certain parts of this Website requires you to register an Account with us. A person may register an Account through the registration link on the Website and by providing the required information. A person who has a registered Account (Account Holder), and the authorised users of that Account (Participants), will have access to all the functionality of the Website. The Account Holder may have access to several additional features required to manage the Account. The Account Holder is responsible for any and all fees associated with the Account.

   Upon setting up an Account, the Account Holder will be prompted to set a limit on the number of Participants that can access the Account (Set Limit). The Account Holder can add Participants to the Account by using the “Invite Participants” function. The Account Holder can nominate any one or more of these Participants as managers of the Account (Managers). Only the Account Holder and the Managers will have authority to invite additional Participants to the Account. If the number of Participants in an Account exceeds the Set Limit, the Account Holder and Managers will be notified and the Account Holder and Managers will have the opportunity to change the limit, which may result in additional fees being charged for each additional Participant added to an Account (see below for further details).

   Where the Account consists of five or less Participants (No Fee Limit), including the Account Holder, a Limited Participant Account will be established for no fee (see below for details). Where the Account consists of more than five Participants, including the Account Holder, an Unlimited Participant Account will be established where a fee will be charged per each additional Participant over the No Fee Limit (see below for details). In order to establish an Unlimited Participant Account, valid credit card details must first be provided by the Account Holder. The Account Holder must immediately inform Aleign of any change to the credit card details that are linked to the Account.

   Upon an Account being set-up, and upon a Participant being invited to the Account, the Account Holder and each Participant will need to confirm that they accept these Terms in order for the Account Holder or Participant to access the Account. Failure to accept these Terms will prohibit access to the Account. Upon an initial acceptance of the Terms, the Account Holder and each Participant will not be prompted to confirm acceptance of the Terms each time that the Account is accessed, however continued use of the Account will constitute your acceptance of these Terms and any variation to these Terms.

   Upon set-up of the Account, the Account Holder and each Participant will also be prompted to set up an individual username and password to login to the Account.

   Information held in one Account is private to that Account and only the Account Holder and Participants of an Account will be able to access and review all information posted in an Account. Aleign takes no responsibility for this information and you indemnify Aleign for any claim or loss in respect of information shared by the Account Holder and Participants of an Account.

   Each Account Holder and each Participant is responsible for keeping their username and password secure. The Account Holder and each Participant agree to take responsibility for all activities that take place under their Account and to notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorised use of the Account or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate on receiving notification from you of unauthorised use of your Account or a breach of security.

   There are two options in terms of creating an Account:

   1. Limited Participant Account (No-Fee)

      This is a no-fee Account which provides access for up to five Participants (including the Account Holder) free of charge. This option enables Participants to access full functionality of an Account, through different domain addresses, but the total number of Participants in one Account is limited to five.

   2. Unlimited Participant Account (Fee per Participant)

      The Unlimited Participant Account allows the Account Holder to add as many Participants as required, using different domain addresses, for a fee of A$50 (excluding GST in Australia) per each additional Participant above the No Fee Limit (Additional Participant Fee). Payment of the Additional Participant Fee will be monthly in advance commencing on the day that each Participant becomes a member of the Account. This Additional Participant Fee will be charged automatically to the provided credit card on the same day of each month. Aleign reserves the right to alter the cost of the Additional Participant Fee at any time including the right to increase the Additional Participant Fee for any goods and services charges or tariffs relevant to your country.

3. Coupons (Discounts)

   Aleign may, at its absolute discretion, provide discounts to the fees charged on an Account on a case by case basis. These discounts may include a percentage discount off the cost of an Unlimited Participant Account, an increase in the number of free Participants accessing an Account for a period of time, or any other discount Aleign considers reasonable at its own discretion. Any discounts provided will be in the form of a coupon which will be shown in the ‘coupon’ tab on the Account portal.

Aleign reserves the right to increase any fees payable under these Terms to ensure that the net amount retained by Aleign after payment of such tax is the same as if Aleign was not liable to pay such tax.

16. GST

    If any payment made by one party to any other party under or relating to these Terms constitutes consideration for a taxable supply for the purposes of Australian goods and services tax (GST),then unless the Terms specify that the payment is inclusive of GST the amount to be paid for the supply will be increased so that the net amount retained by the supplier after payment of that GST is the same as if the supplier was not liable to pay GST in respect of that supply. This provision is subject to any other agreement regarding the payment of GST on specific supplies and includes payments for supplies relating to breaches, termination and indemnities arising from these Terms. The party receiving the payment must provide a tax invoice to the party making it. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that all amounts specified in these Terms are exclusive of GST and that GST, must be applied on top of such amounts.
