Terms and Conditions
Also available in PDF format.
Terms and Conditions for Services Provided
1. DI Management Services Pty Limited ("we, us, our and ourselves") agrees to
carry out work for you ("you, your and yourself") on an hourly basis. You agree
to pay the service charge at the specified rate, net of all taxes, duties,
withholdings, and other charges of a like nature.
2. By paying a service charge or by using the software we provide to you, you
agree to accept these terms and conditions.
Source code
3. If we create software for you under this agreement, you are entitled to
receive a copy of the source code once all service charges owing to us for the
work have been paid in full.
Background technology
4. We may use our own existing background technology in providing you with the
software. "Background Technology" is defined as software we provide from our
existing set of software utilities that is not customised original work created
specifically to your specifications but is provided as background to the
original functionality you specify. The rights in all Background Technology we
provide to you remain exclusively with us at all times. On full payment of all
service charges owing to us, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive licence to
use such Background Technology in your own applications at no extra charge, but
you cannot distribute such Background Technology separately to any third party
under any circumstances except as part of the software we have provided to you,
nor can you grant to any third party any rights other than those granted to you
in relation to our Background Technology. We reserve the right to provide
Background Technology in compiled executable form only.
Liability and Warranty
5. All software is provided "as is" without warranties as to performance or
merchantability or any other warranties whether expressed or implied. Because of
the various hardware and software environments into which software may be put,
no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is offered. Good data processing
procedure dictates that any software be thoroughly tested with non-critical data
before relying on it. You must assume the entire risk of using the software. Our
liability will be limited exclusively to replacement or refund of the service
charge related to the software in question.
6. In no event shall we be liable for any damages in connection with or arising
out of the use of the Software by any person whatsoever, including incidental,
indirect, special or consequential damages, or any damages related to loss of
use, revenue or profits, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. You expressly agree to such a waiver.
Estimates and payments in advance
7. If we quote you a number of hours to carry out your work, it is an estimate
of the time we expect the work to take unless explicitly noted otherwise in
writing. The final number of hours and the corresponding service fee you owe us
will depend on the actual number of hours we work for you. Any service charge
paid before the work commences is a payment in advance for work to be carried
out and is not an implicit acceptance of a fixed price. Payments made in advance
are not refundable unless we fail to deliver in a reasonable time the work we
originally agreed at the time of the quote.
Fixed price offers
8. If we explicitly offer to carry out work on a fixed price basis (a "Fixed
Price Offer"), we will do whatever work we agreed at the time we made the offer
- no more, no less.
9. When we provide you with software that works according to the specification
provided at the time of making the Fixed Price Offer and that software runs with
the test data provided by you at the time we made the offer, you owe us the
agreed fee.
10. You agree that any changes you request to the software after we have made a
Fixed Price Offer are outside the scope of the original offer and are subject to
an additional fee based on the extra hours worked to provide these changes at
the specified hourly rate. This includes changes required to adapt the software
to cope with extra test data provided by you after the time of the original
offer.
Software functionality
11. If our software does not work according to the specification and test data
you provided to us at the time before we made the offer, we will fix the problem
and provide you with a new, corrected version at no charge, or, at our option,
refund the fee charged for providing the feature that does not work. Not working
means actually failing to carry out the task which the program is specified to
do under conditions that are reasonable to expect for normal use by a typical
user.
Interpretation of specification
12. If the specification of the software provided by you prior to us making an
offer is silent, unclear or ambiguous on how to handle a specific requirement,
we will make a judgement on what is required and will include this in the final
product delivered to you. Unless it can be shown that we have not provided a
reasonable interpretation of what is required, you agree to accept our judgement
of what is required. Likewise, in the absence of test data being provided to us
prior to making a quote or fixed price offer, we shall make a judgement on what
is required and you agree to accept our judgement.
Free features
13. Features in software we provide for no charge ("Free Features") have no
support whatsoever and you agree that we have no obligations to you in relation
to such Free Features.
Governing law
14. These terms and conditions shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of
the State of Western Australia, Australia, without regard to your choice of
legal jurisdiction and you expressly agree that the venue for resolution of
disputes, if any, arising out of this licence or the performance of the
Software, shall be in Western Australia.
