Terms of Use

Last Updated: 5 May 2021

Introduction

Welcome to MinuteMe! And thank you for choosing our platform to make your meetings better! Before you start, we do need you to look through and accept these terms of service (Terms). FYI when you see a term in bold, it will have the same corresponding meaning every time it is used within these Terms. For the purposes of these Terms, 'we', 'our', 'us ' means Electrivity Technology Pty Ltd (Electrivity) and when we say 'you' and 'your', we mean both you and any entity or firm you're authorised to represent.

Services & using MinuteMe

1. Our Services - Our Services shall mean any software or service provided by us (now or in the future) including our online and mobile products (if any) (Services).

2. Access to Services - Your access to and use of the Services is conditional upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use the Services. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, then you do not have permission to access the Services.

3. Creating a Workspace - When you create a Workspace to use our Services and accept these Terms, you become a Workspace Owner. If you're the Workspace Owner, you're the one responsible for paying for the Plus Plan (more details at minuteme.com/pricing) and providing a payment method.

4. People invited to use MinuteMe - An Invited User is a person other than the Workspace Owner who has been invited to use our Services. If you are an Invited User, you must also accept these Terms to use our Services.

5. User roles and access - As a Workspace Owner inviting others to use MinuteMe, you should understand the permissions you are granting to Invited Users. If you'd like to read more about user roles and levels of access, more details are available at the MinuteMe Help Center (Permissions).

6. The right to use our Services - Whether you're a Workspace Owner or an Invited User, we grant you the right to use our Services (based on your Plan, your user role and the level of access you have been granted) for as long as the Workspace Owner continues to pay the monthly usage fee (Fee) (if appliable), until the Basic or Plus Plan is terminated, or, if you are an Invited User, until your access is revoked.

7. Workspace Owner Role - As a Workspace Owner, you take responsibility for controlling how your Workspace is managed and who can access it. For example:

   • You control access to a Workspace. You decide who is able to create meetings in your Workspace. You can change or stop that access at any time.
   • If an Invited User leaves your organisation, you are responsible for removing the Invited User from the Workspace.
   • You are responsible for resolving any disputes with any Invited Users over access to your Workspace.
   • You are responsible for all your Invited Users' activity.
   • You are responsible for regularly checking and reviewing notifications posted in the 'Notification center'.

8. User registration - You promise that you will keep your information (including current email address) up to date. You also agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password.

9. User representations - By using our Services, you represent and warrant that:

   • All registration information you submit will be true, accurate, current and complete.
   • You will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update such registration information as necessary.
   • You have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Terms.
   • You will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorised purpose.
   • Your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

10. What we own - We own everything we have put into our Services unless otherwise stated and excluding content owned by others. This includes rights in the design, compilation and look and feel of our Services. It also includes rights in all copyrighted works, trademarks, designs, inventions, and other intellectual property. You agree not to copy, distribute, modify or make derivative works of any of our content or use any of our intellectual property rights in any way not expressly permitted by us.

Pricing

11. Pricing Plans - If you are on the Basic Plan, you will not be charged to use the Services. If you upgrade to the Plus Plan, you (as the Workspace Owner) will be charged a monthly usage fee (Fee), in arrears, according to the MinuteMe Fair billing policy. The Fee is exclusive of any local transactional taxes where relevant (like GST).

12. Changes to Pricing Plan - The terms of the Pricing Plans form part of these Terms. We may update or amend the Pricing Plans from time to time. Changes to the Pricing Plans will not be made retrospectively and if we make changes, we will make every effort to let you know. Your continued use of the Services after a pricing change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Fee.

13. Payment Information - As part of upgrading to the Plus Plan, you agree to provide us with a valid credit card for payment of the Fees. You shall provide us with valid credit card billing information, including name, credit card number, expiry date and CVV.

14. Importance of Timely Payments - In order to continue accessing our Services, you need to make timely payments based on your Pricing Plan. To avoid delays or missed payments, please make sure we have accurate payment information. By providing us with your payment information, you expressly authorise us to charge you all Fees incurred with your Pricing Plan. If we don't receive timely payments, we may suspend access to your Workspace until the payment is made.

Data use and privacy

15. Use of data - You retain ownership of all data you upload, import or generate when using the Services. This includes (but is not limited to) documents, contacts and other entries. You acknowledge and agree that we may need to access and view your data to assist with your questions, technical support requests, training or other issues. We will only access data which is reasonably necessary to address or complete your requests or issues. To the extent that we access your data, we shall treat it as confidential and we will not disclose any data or information to the extent permitted by law.

16. Use of personal data - We respect your privacy and take data protection seriously. In addition to these terms, our Privacy Policy sets out in detail how we process your own personal data that you enter when using the Services, such as your name and email address. The Privacy Policy forms part of and is incorporated into these Terms.

17. Usage data - Usage Data means data related to the use or operation of the Services, such as usage related data and technical data collected in connection with the use of the Services. It does not include any of your content. We reserve the right to collect, aggregate, monitor and use Usage Data to communicate with you and improve the functionality, performance, and aid in further development of the Services.

18. Response to Legal Process - We reserve the right to provide your data to third parties if required or compelled by law (court order or subpoena) and to comply with law enforcement authorities in an investigation of a criminal or civil matter. We shall provide you with notice of the legal process, to the extent permitted by law.

Security

19. Security Safeguards - We've invested in technical, physical and administrative safeguards to do our part to help keep your data safe and secure. While we've taken steps to help protect your data, no method of electronic storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify you if there appears to be unauthorised access to your account and we may also restrict access to certain parts of our Services until you verify that access was by an authorised user.

20. Account security features -We may introduce security features to make your account more secure, such as two-step authentication. Depending on where you are in the world, we may require you to adopt some of these features. Where we make the use of security features optional, you're responsible (meaning we're not liable) for any consequences of not using those features. We strongly encourage you to use all optional security features.

21. Securing your data - You have an important part to play by keeping your login details secure, not letting any other person use them, and by making sure you have strong security on your own systems. If you realise there's been any unauthorised use of your password or any breach of security to your account or email address linked to your account, you need to let us know immediately.

Third party software

22. The Services may incorporate certain Third Party Software which is licensed subject to the terms and conditions of the third party licensing. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable license for such Third Party Software.

23. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such third party web sites or services.

Maintenance, downtime and data loss

24. Availability - Occasionally we may need to perform maintenance on our Services and this may require a period of downtime. We try to minimise any such downtime. Where planned maintenance is being undertaken, we'll attempt to notify you in advance but we can't guarantee it.

25. No compensation - In the event of any downtime, access issues or data loss, your only recourse is to discontinue the Services.

26. Modifications - We frequently release new updates, modifications and enhancements to our Services, and in some cases, discontinue features. Where this occurs, we will endeavour to notify you where practical (for example by email or within our Services when you log in).
