The Company makes no representations or warranties that the App, website, services, or content will satisfy your needs, function without errors or disruptions, or be free from harmful elements like viruses or malware.

15. ASSIGNMENT

You may not transfer to any third party any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent.

16. NO WAIVER

No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under these Terms or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

17. FORCE MAJEURE

If the Company is prevented from carrying out its services and/or obligations due to an act of God or force majeure (which shall include war, riot, civil commotion, explosion, fire, radiation, accident, government action, interruption in the supply of power, labor dispute, epidemic or other circumstances which are both beyond the Company’s control and which the application of due diligence and foresight could not have prevented) the Services shall be suspended until the circumstances have ceased.

This clause also applies to unforeseen technical issues, including but not limited to server outages, third-party service provider disruptions, or failures in internet connectivity that are beyond the Company's control.

Where your account is terminated or suspended by us, we may provide you with a copy of your Content and Outputs held on the Platform to the extent that we are able to do so and provided that you make a request to us within 24 hours of such termination or suspension.

19. GENERAL TERMS AND GOVERNING LAW

If any part of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable part is to be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remainder will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Behaviour Help relating to the Platform and Website and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Platform and/or Website or any other subject matter covered by these Terms.

In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Company shall take into account in particular the risks that are presented by Processing, in particular from a Personal Data Breach.

5. Company Sub-Processing

  1. 5.1 The Customer hereby provides the Company with general written authorisation to engage Sub-Processors to access and process Personal Data.
  2. 5.2 The Company will impose contractual obligations on its Sub-Processors, and contractually obligate its Sub-Processors to impose contractual obligations on any further subcontractors that they engage to process Personal Data, which provide the same level of data protection for Personal Data in all material respects as the contractual obligations imposed in this DPA.
  3. 5.3 The Company will notify the Customer at least seven (7) days in advance (by email and by notice in the Service) of any changes to the list of Sub-Processors in place.
  4. 5.4 Customer may reasonably object to the Company’s use of a new Sub-Processor (e.g., if making Personal Data available to the Sub-Processor may violate applicable Data Protection Law or weaken the protections for such Personal Data) by notifying the Company promptly in writing within seven (7) business days after receipt of the Company’s notice.
  5. 5.5 Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. In the event Customer objects to a new Sub-Processor, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Customer’s configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub-Processor without unreasonably burdening Customer. If Company is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, either party may terminate without penalty the applicable Order Form(s) with respect only to those Services that cannot be provided by Company without the use of the objected-to new Sub-Processor by providing written notice to Company. The Company will not refund the Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s) following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services.

6. Company Data Subject Rights

  1. 6.1 Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Company shall assist the Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures, for the fulfilment of the Customer's obligations, as reasonably understood by the Company, to respond to requests to exercise Data Subject rights under the Data Protection Laws.
  2. 6.2 Company shall:
    • Promptly notify Customer if it receives a request from a Data Subject under any Data Protection Law in respect of Customer Personal Data;
    • Ensure that it does not respond to that request except on the documented instructions of Customer or as required by Applicable Laws to which the Company is subject, in which case Company shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, inform Customer of that legal requirement before Company responds to the request.

7. Company Personal Data Breach

In the event of a Personal Data Breach arising during the provision of the Services by the Company, the Company shall:

  • Notify the Customer about the Breach without undue delay, but in no event less than seventy-two (72) hours, after becoming aware of the Personal Data Breach; as part of the notification under Section of this DPA, to the extent reasonably available at the time of notice;
  • Provide a description of the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects affected, the categories and approximate number of data records affected, the likely consequences of the Breach, and the risks to affected Data Subjects; promptly update the Customer as additional relevant information becomes available;
  • Take all actions as may be required by Applicable Data Protection Law;
  • Maintain records of all information relating to the Breach, including the results of its own investigations and authorities’ investigations, as well as remedial actions taken.

8. Company Data Protection Impact Assessment and Prior Consultation

Company shall provide reasonable assistance to the Customer with any data protection impact assessments, and prior consultations with Supervising Authorities or other competent data privacy authorities, which Customer reasonably considers to be required by article 35 or 36 of the GDPR or equivalent provisions of any other Data Protection Law, in each case solely in relation to Processing of Customer Personal Data by, and taking into account the nature of the Processing and information available to, the Contracted Processors.

Company Deletion or Return of Customer Personal Data

Subject to this section, the Company shall promptly and in any event within one-hundred-and-twenty (120) business days of the date of cessation of any Services involving the Processing of Customer Personal Data (the “Cessation Date”), delete and/or procure the deletion of all copies of Customer Personal Data except as required by Company to satisfy its business and legal obligations.

This section does not affect the Company’s rights to use non-personal customer data for its own purposes as specified in the Main Service Agreement.

9. Company Audit Rights

  1. Subject to this section, the Company shall make available to the Customer on request all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement, and shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, by the Customer or an auditor mandated by the Customer in relation to the Processing of the Personal Data by the Sub-Processors. Information and audit rights of the Customer only arise under this section to the extent that the Agreement does not otherwise give them information and audit rights meeting the relevant requirements of Data Protection Law.
  2. The Customer shall give the Company reasonable prior written notice, not fewer than twenty-eight (28) business days in advance, of any audit or inspection to be conducted under this Section and shall use (and ensure that each of its mandated auditors uses) its best efforts to avoid causing any damage, injury, or disruption to the Company.
  3. The Customer and the Company shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit or inspection and any reimbursement of expenses for which the Customer shall be responsible.
  4. The scope of audit rights does not extend to physical premises where the Personal Data is processed.

10. Company Data Transfers

The Customer provides the Company with general written authorisation to transfer Personal Data outside of the UK or to a jurisdiction that does not have adequacy status, provided that the Company complies with the UK GDPR’s international transfer rules and relies on an appropriate mechanism under article 46 of the UK GDPR.
