- GRANT OF LICENSE AND PURPOSE.
The Licensor grants you a nonexclusive, non-transferable personal license to use the Software subject to the terms and conditions of his agreement and the payment of the fees.
When you register to use the Software, whether on a single user basis or as multiple users, you will receive a login and a password or you will be asked to nominate a login and a password for the first user. These are personal login details and under no circumstances should you give or share these with anyone else.
When you register to use the Software for multiple users, except for the initial login and password details that we set up for your nominated user, we will allow and enable you to create login and password details for each of the users without the need to advise us of those details. Once the login and password details are designated and allocated to the various users, these are personal login details and therefore they must not be shared with other people. We will also enable you to amend and vary the details of your authorised users in the event it becomes necessary.
If you wish to add a user or users at any time throughout the year after the licence agreement had commenced, you will need to advise us of the number of additional users you wish to add. Following your advice, we will enable you to register these additional users on the Software by allocating login and password details to them. We will then charge you a pro rata annual charge for each additional user until the next anniversary of your licence when the annual fee (based on the number of users) will apply.
The purpose for which you receive access to the Software is as follows;
- to access the professional services and job descriptions set out in the Software;
- to access the data provided in the Software for the purpose of generating design for prospective plumbing jobs, quote for these jobs and subsequently issuing invoices with respect to that job.
- We currently also provide users ‘freemium’ access to the Software. This allows users to use the Software for the purposes above, up to the value of AU$10,000 worth of quotes, before the subscription fee applies. We reserve the right to amend or terminate the level of ‘freemium’ access at any time. Your access to the Software will be suspended if you do not pay the subscription fee charged to you at the conclusion of the ‘freemium’ trial period.
