PD Systems: extended terms and conditions

4. Payments
We accept the following forms of payment:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Pay on Account - This payment type is available to organisations with more than 30 connected staff. Payment is made annually (or in some cases by a negotiated schedule approved by us) by electronic bank transfer.
PD able uses Stripe to handle online payments, we do not store credit card numbers on our site. By using Stripe to handle payments you also agree to Stripe Restricted Businesses Policy.
The Service is billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or PD able cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting PD able customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide PD able with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authosize PD able to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, PD able will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
We reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same payment method, and/or orders that use the same billing or shipping address. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgement, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.
You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your purchases and any applicable fees, and you authorise us to charge your chosen payment provider for any such amounts upon placing your order. If your order is subject to recurring charges, then you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel the applicable order. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.
Free Trial
We offer a 30-day free trial to new users who register with the Service. The account will be downgraded to PD FREE at end of the 30 day period (incurring no sign up fee).
At any time and without notice, PD able reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Fee Changes
PD able, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
PD able will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
5. Intellectual Property
- In these Terms, “Content” includes material in text, audio, graphic, pictorial and video form, or any combination of material, in any form.
- Nothing in these Terms constitutes a transfer of any intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that, as between you and us, we own all intellectual property rights in the Service (that is, we own the rights to the applications we make available to you – we do not own intellectual property rights to your Content – see below in 5(3)).
- We acknowledge that as between you and us, you own or have a licence to all intellectual property rights in the Content that you provide to the Service or otherwise provide to us for the purpose of providing the Service.
- You grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide and transferable right and licence to use, in any way (including by posting to an Account on any Platform as directed by you), (a) Content that you add to the Service; and (b) profile content on social media Platforms associated with your Account (including, without limitation, by reproducing, changing or adapting, and communicating that Content to the public) for the purposes of providing you with the Service.
- We may sub-licence the licence in paragraph 5(4) to third party service providers who assist us in providing the Service.
- In some countries in which the Service operates, local law recognises that authors of Content may have “moral rights” in respect of the Content. Examples of moral rights can include the right to be attributed as the author of Content, the right to object to false attribution of the authorship of content and the right to object to derogatory treatment of Content in some circumstances. We will be unable to provide the Service if authors of Content assert moral rights that may they have in Content that is published on the Service. When you post or add Content to the Service, you agree that you will not enforce any moral rights that you may have in respect of that Content, and if you add any Content in which any third party has moral rights, you will use your best efforts to ensure that the third party also gives the same commitment.
- The licence in paragraph 5(4) will survive any termination of these Terms.
- You represent and warrant to us that you have all necessary rights to grant the licences and other commitments set out in this clause 5.
- You acknowledge and agree that, in providing the Service, we collect historical Content from, and other data about, your Accounts for the purposes of providing analytics reports and other features.
6. Warranties
You represent and warrant to us that:
- all Accounts, on any Platform, added to the Service are owned or controlled by you;
- you will use the Service in accordance with these Terms; and
- you have the legal capacity and the authority to enter into these Terms.
7. Liability
- You are liable for any loss or damage caused if you breach your obligations under these Terms or you fail to use reasonable care in your use of the Service. Your liability will be reduced to the extent that we cause or contribute to that loss or damage by our own breach of these Terms or our own failure to use reasonable care in providing the Service.
- You indemnify us for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of these Terms (including the warranties you give us under these Terms), or any wilful misconduct, unlawful acts or negligence in your use or misuse of the Service.
- To the full extent permitted by law, and subject where applicable to clauses 7(5) and 7(6) of these Terms, we exclude all liability for all claims, expenses, loss, damage and costs made against or incurred by you directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or your inability to use the Service, including in respect of economic loss, loss of data, interruption of business or any consequential or incidental damages.
- To the full extent permitted by law, and subject where applicable to clauses 7(5) and 7(6) of these Terms, our total liability to you for breach of contract under these Terms, for tort (including negligence), or for any other cause is limited to an amount equal to the total aggregate fee paid or payable by you for the Service for the one month period immediately preceding the day upon which our liability arose.
- To the full extent permitted by law, and subject where applicable to clause 7(6) and 7(7) of these Terms, we exclude all terms, representations, warranties, conditions, guarantees or obligations (whether express or implied) other than those expressly set out in these Terms.
- In some jurisdictions, legislation may require that certain warranties, conditions, guarantees or obligations relating to the Service are implied into these Terms or imposed on our supply of the Service (“statutory obligations”). Further, the legislation may prohibit, or render void, other terms that have the effect of excluding, limiting or modifying imposed terms, or the exercise of rights and remedies, or the recovery of compensation, otherwise available to you where we breach an imposed term (“statutory prohibition”).
- If legislation referred to in clause 7(6) applies to these Terms as accepted by you, or to the Service as provided to you, nothing in these Terms is intended to be, or operates as, a statutory prohibition. In particular, no part of these Terms is intended to limit our liability where that part would be a statutory prohibition.
8. Termination
- These Terms terminate automatically if, for any reason, we cease to operate the Service.
- We may otherwise terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, on notice to you, if in our reasonable opinion, you have breached these Terms in any way.
- You may cancel the Service at any time by notifying us. All purchases are non-refundable. You may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term.
- All rights granted to you in these Terms cease upon termination.
9. General
- You must not assign, sub-licence or otherwise deal in any other way with any of your rights under these Terms.
- If a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, it is to be read down or severed to the extent necessary without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
- Each party must at its own expense do everything reasonably necessary to give full effect to this Agreement and the events contemplated by it.
- These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and each party submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.
