1. The agreement
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between Popurise Pty Ltd ACN pending (“Popurise”, “we”, “us”, “our”) and you, or the entity you represent (“you”, “your”, “Customer”). They govern your access to and use of popurise.com, the Popurise application, APIs, models, templates, content and any related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account, clicking to accept, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorised to bind that entity, and references to “you” include both you and that entity. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.
These Terms apply in addition to any order form, statement of work or written agreement entered between you and Popurise. In the event of inconsistency, the order form prevails for the specific subject matter it addresses, then these Terms, then any other policies referenced here.

16. Changes to the Service
Popurise may modify, add, remove or replace any feature, output, model, template, default, calculation, integration or content of the Service at any time. Popurise has no obligation to maintain backwards compatibility, preserve any specific output, or provide notice of changes.
17. Warranties and disclaimers
Except as expressly set out in these Terms, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. Popurise makes no representations or warranties, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, non-infringement, availability, error-free or uninterrupted operation, or that the Service will meet your requirements or produce any specific result.
Popurise does not warrant the accuracy, currency, completeness or suitability of any data, default, benchmark, template, output, calculation, model, report or content available through the Service, or that the Service is appropriate for any particular project, site, transaction, jurisdiction, decision or outcome.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by agreement. Where liability for breach of a non-excludable guarantee can be limited, Popurise’s liability is limited, at Popurise’s option, to the supply of the services again or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
18. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:

20. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by the other party that is identified as confidential or that a reasonable person would consider confidential, and to use it only for the purposes of these Terms. This clause does not restrict Popurise from exercising any right granted under these Terms in respect of Customer Data, Usage Data, Aggregated Data, De-identified Data or Derived Data.
21. Privacy
Popurise handles personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

24. Changes to these Terms
Popurise may update these Terms at any time. The current version is published at popurise.com/terms.

25. General
- Governing law and jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts of appeal from them.

- Subcontracting. Popurise may subcontract any obligation under these Terms.
- No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or fiduciary relationship.

- Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue in full force.
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any applicable order form and the policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings.
