​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(d) We may, at any time and without prior notice, cease to maintain an interface with a Third Party Product or otherwise cease to exchange data with a Third Party Product.

​​​​​​​9.3 Fees following Upgrade/Downgrade:  If you:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(a) upgrade or downgrade your Subscription Package in accordance with clause 9.1 or 9.2, the subscription fees you are required to pay for access to the FarmIQ Service will be adjusted, with effect from the date that the upgrade or downgrade first applies, based on the fee or rate applicable to the Subscription Package that you have upgraded or downgraded to (as the case may be); and/or

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(b) upgrade your Subscription Package to include access to help desk support services in accordance with clause 9.1, additional fees for help desk support services, as set out on our Website, will apply.

10.1 FarmIQ Service Fees:  You must pay to us the subscription fees applicable to your Subscription Package for access to the FarmIQ Service.  Subject to clause 10.5, if your Subscription Package provides for the subscription fees to be determined by applying the applicable fee or rate for your Subscription Package to the number of stock units at your Registered Farms (a Stock Unit Count), then the following provisions apply:

(a) On an ongoing basis through the Subscription Period, you must ensure the Stock Unit Count on the FarmIQ System is current and accurate.  The Stock Unit Count to be used for determining the subscription fees at the start of your Subscription Period will be that which you provided as part of the Registration Application process.  For the purposes of determining the subscription fees going forward, while you may update your Stock Unit Count at any time, you must provide an updated Stock Unit Count (based on then-current figures) at least one month after 30 June each year.  Your subscription fees will be adjusted (based on the Stock Unit Count you provide) from the date that the Stock Unit Count is updated on the FarmIQ System.

​​​​​​​(b) If you fail to provide an updated Stock Unit Count as required under clause 10.1(a), we may (at our discretion):

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(i) keep your subscription fees at the current level; or

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(ii) estimate the applicable Stock Unit Count based on the information we have and use that estimate to determine the subscription fees that apply from the date on which you should have provided an updated Stock Unit Count or such later date determined by us (in our discretion).

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(c)  We may use your Farm Data entered into the FarmIQ System, and you must promptly provide us with access to any other documents, records and information we may reasonably request, in order to estimate, check or verify your Stock Unit Counts.  You warrant that any document, record and information provided under this clause is true, current and accurate.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(d)  If, at any time, we believe (acting reasonably) that you have underreported a Stock Unit Count, we may immediately increase your subscription fee to the applicable amount based on our reasonable estimation of your actual Stock Unit Count, and charge you for the difference between the total subscription fees previously invoiced and what those fees would have been had they been at the increased amount.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(e) If you have multiple Subscription Packages, the above provisions will apply separately to each Subscription Package, and references in those provisions to the actual number of stock units at your Registered Farms and your Stock Unit Count will be read as references to the actual number of stock units at, and your Stock Unit Count for, the Registered Farm(s) applicable to the relevant Subscription Package.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.2 Fees for Additional Services and Help Desk Support Services:  Our fees for the provision of:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(a) Any additional services relating to the FarmIQ Service, such as training workshops, farm map set-ups and FarmIQ System planning and advice, will be set out on our Website or advised to you prior to us providing those services.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(b) Access to help desk support services will be as set out on our Website.  For some Subscription Packages access to help desk support services may be included as part of the subscription fees, while for other Subscription Packages access to help desk support services may be an optional addition for which additional fees apply.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.3 FarmIQ App Fees:  We reserve the right to charge a fee for each instance of the FarmIQ App used by you and your Registered Users to submit Farm Data.  We will advise you of any such fee in advance on the basis that it would commence from the start of the next month, and you will have the option to refrain from using the FarmIQ App to submit Farm Data (in which case the fee will not apply).

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.4 Fees for Collection of Data from Third Parties:  In some cases fees will apply for us to collect your Farm Data from a third party and enter that Farm Data into the FarmIQ System.  Any such fees will be set out on our Website or advised to you at the time you request us to collect your Farm Data from the relevant third party.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.5 Fee Increases:  We may increase any of our fees or alter the basis on which they are calculated with effect from the start of any month, by providing notice at least 30 Business Days prior to the start of that month.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.6 GST Exclusive:  Unless stated otherwise, all fees and charges stated on our Website or advised to you will be exclusive of GST.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.7 Invoicing:  Unless your Subscription Package provides or you and we agree otherwise, we will invoice you for all fees in advance.  Each invoice will be issued electronically and will be a valid tax invoice for GST purposes.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.8 Payment:  You must pay each invoice for fees or charges under these Terms in full by the payment due date specified on the invoice (which will be at least 10 Business Days after the date of the invoice).

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​10.9 Default Interest:  If you fail to pay an invoice in full by the due date, the overdue amount will bear default interest until the date on which payment of the overdue amount is made in full.  Default interest will accrue and be calculated on a daily basis at 10% per annum and will be compounded monthly.

​​​​​​(a) the claim has arisen, in part or full, from misconduct, negligence or breach of these Terms by you or any of your Registered Users;

(b) the claim relates to infringement of copyright in your Farm Data and/or Generated Farm Data;

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(c) you fail to notify us in writing within 10 Business Days of the claim arising;

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(d) you fail to give us sole control of the defence of the claim and all related settlement negotiations; or

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(e) you fail to give us the assistance, information and authority necessary to defend and/or settle the claim.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​12.2 Your Indemnity:  You will indemnify us against all Losses suffered or incurred by us as a direct or indirect result of a breach of these Terms by you or in connection with any third party claim against us that our use or storage, in accordance with these Terms, of any Farm Data or other content which you entered into the FarmIQ System infringes that third party's Intellectual Property or is otherwise offensive, obscene, defamatory, discriminatory, inappropriate or contrary to any applicable laws. 

13.1 Liability Exclusions:  We will have no liability to you under or in connection with these Terms (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) in respect of any:

(a) indirect, consequential or special Losses suffered or incurred by you;

​​​​​​​(b) loss of data, profits, revenue, business or goodwill; or

 13.3  Disclaimer:  The FarmIQ Service and any related services we provide under clause 4.2 are intended to aid your planning for the management and operation of your Registered Farm(s), but:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(a) we do not guarantee that the FarmIQ Service (including any of your Subscribed Packs) or any related services will be fit for your particular purposes or will comply with any applicable regulatory requirements; and

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(b) in no case should such services or the information they deliver be relied on as any form of professional farming advice. 

Any decisions you make in relation to your Registered Farm(s) are your sole responsibility, and we will not be liable for any Losses suffered or incurred by you as a result of such decisions.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 13.4 Warranties Excluded:  To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim and exclude all representations, warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, relating to the FarmIQ System, the FarmIQ Service, the FarmIQ App and any other services we supply to you under these Terms, other than those representations, warranties and conditions identified expressly in these Terms. 

​​​​​​14.1 Suspension of Access to FarmIQ Service:  We may suspend your, or any or all of your Register Users', access to the FarmIQ Service if:

(a) any fees or charges payable by you under these Terms are at least 10 Business Days overdue for payment; or

​​​​​(b) you have committed a material breach of these Terms,

and you have failed to pay those fees or charges in full (together with any applicable default interest) or remedy that material breach to our satisfaction within 5 Business Days of receiving a notice from us specifying the relevant non-payment or breach and advising our intention to suspend access to the FarmIQ Service.

14.2 Lifting of Suspension:  If we suspend your, or your Registered Users', access to the FarmIQ Service under clause 14.1, we will lift that suspension and allow access again once the relevant non-payment has been made in full (together with any applicable default interest) or the breach has been remedied to our satisfaction.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(c) We may, at our discretion, retain and subsequently at any time delete, your Farm Data and Generated Farm Data stored in the FarmIQ System.  For the avoidance of doubt, termination will not affect any of our rights under these Terms to deal with Aggregated Data containing your Farm Data.
