Terms & Conditions.

AFTRNOX provides website design, development, hosting, maintenance, software systems and digital technology services to businesses.

These Terms & Conditions govern the provision and use of AFTRNOX services, subject to any separate written agreement between AFTRNOX and the client.

Business name: AFTRNOX. ABN: 56 737 676 813.

AFTRNOX may provide:

• Website design and development.
• Website hosting and maintenance.
• AFTRNOX PULSE software and related services.
• Staff profiles and roster systems.
• Live staff availability features.
• Website management tools.
• Custom software development.
• Integrations and automation.
• Other agreed digital services.

The specific services, deliverables, pricing and ongoing fees will be described in the client's accepted proposal, order or service agreement.

Features and services not expressly included in the agreed package are not automatically included.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, AFTRNOX retains ownership of all intellectual property rights it owns in its proprietary technology, software, source code, frameworks, reusable designs, templates, components, systems, development tools and digital infrastructure.

This includes, where applicable:

• AFTRNOX PULSE.
• AFTRNOX FORGE.
• AFTRNOX CONTROL.
• Website frameworks and reusable templates.
• Staff and roster management systems.
• Staff profile systems.
• Live availability systems.
• Software integrations.
• Automation technology.
• Reusable source code and components.
• Administrative dashboards.
• Proprietary development methods and supporting materials.

Payment for website design, setup, development, customisation, hosting, maintenance or subscriptions does not automatically transfer ownership of AFTRNOX intellectual property to the client.

AFTRNOX may reuse its independently owned technology, frameworks and components across multiple projects, subject to confidentiality obligations and any expressly agreed exclusive rights.

Third-party intellectual property remains the property of its respective owners.

Clients retain ownership of intellectual property they own and supply to AFTRNOX, including:

• Business names and trademarks.
• Business logos and branding.
• Domain names registered in their name.
• Photographs and videos.
• Written content.
• Business information.
• Staff information and records.
• Customer information and business data.

Clients grant AFTRNOX permission to use these materials as reasonably necessary to provide the agreed services.

AFTRNOX does not acquire ownership of client-provided materials or business data merely because they are stored, processed or displayed through AFTRNOX technology.

Clients are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights and permissions for materials they supply.

Subject to the applicable service agreement, AFTRNOX grants clients a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the agreed AFTRNOX technology for their own business.

The licence remains subject to the agreed payment terms and service conditions.

Unless separately authorised in writing, clients may not:

• Sell or redistribute AFTRNOX proprietary software.
• Sublicense proprietary AFTRNOX technology.
• Commercially exploit AFTRNOX source code independently.
• Represent AFTRNOX proprietary technology as their own.
• Transfer proprietary software to another business or developer outside the agreed licence.

This clause does not restrict rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or rights granted under applicable third-party software licences.

Where hosting and maintenance are included in a package, AFTRNOX will provide the agreed services for the duration of the active arrangement.

Ongoing fees may cover hosting, security maintenance, software updates, technical support and access to agreed platform features.

The precise inclusions, payment frequency, cancellation terms and any limitations will be set out in the relevant package or service agreement.

An ongoing subscription does not automatically grant ownership of AFTRNOX's proprietary software or infrastructure.

AFTRNOX recognises that a client may eventually wish to operate their website independently.

Clients may request a standalone website release or handover.

Where technically and legally possible, AFTRNOX may offer a standalone version of the client's website for a separately agreed fee.

The standalone website will be designed to operate independently of the AFTRNOX platform.

The agreed release may include:

• The existing website design and visual identity.
• Existing pages and layout.
• Client-owned branding and content.
• Existing photographs and media.
• Business information.
• Basic website editing functionality.
• Manual staff profile management.
• Manual photo management.
• Manual daily or weekly roster editing.
• Website files and deployment materials necessary for the agreed standalone operation.

The exact functionality and deliverables will be confirmed in a written release agreement.

The standalone website will not automatically include:

• AFTRNOX PULSE.
• AFTRNOX FORGE.
• AFTRNOX CONTROL.
• Central AFTRNOX dashboards.
• Platform-dependent automation.
• Shared infrastructure.
• Proprietary platform source code.
• Platform-dependent integrations or synchronisation.

These exclusions apply unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

The client will be able to arrange independent hosting of the released website, subject to the agreed technical requirements.

Upon completion of the release and payment of the agreed fee, AFTRNOX will grant the client a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to operate, maintain and modify the delivered standalone website for their own business, subject to applicable third-party licences and the written release agreement.

AFTRNOX retains ownership of its underlying proprietary technology, reusable components, frameworks and intellectual property.

The standalone release does not transfer ownership of the wider AFTRNOX platform.

A standalone website release, technical conversion, migration or handover may involve an additional fee.

Fees will be quoted individually according to the agreed scope of work, technical complexity, required conversion, migration assistance, documentation and any additional licence rights.

No fixed release fee is established by these Terms & Conditions.

Any fee, scope and deliverables must be disclosed and agreed in writing before paid release work begins.

A client is not required to purchase an optional technology release merely to retrieve their own content or data, subject to applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Custom website design and custom software development do not automatically transfer ownership of AFTRNOX proprietary technology.

Where a client commissions custom work, the applicable proposal or agreement will specify:

• The deliverables.
• Ownership of newly created materials.
• Any exclusive rights.
• Source-code delivery requirements.
• Licence terms.
• Ongoing hosting or maintenance requirements.
• Any agreed transfer or release arrangements.

Any assignment of intellectual property rights must be expressly documented in writing.

AFTRNOX retains ownership of its pre-existing and independently developed reusable technology unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Clients agree to pay the fees specified in their accepted proposal, package or service agreement.

Setup fees, development fees, subscriptions and other charges will be identified before the client accepts the relevant service.

Any late-payment procedures, service suspension rights or additional charges must be consistent with the agreed terms and applicable Australian law.

Clients may cancel ongoing services in accordance with the cancellation terms agreed for their package.

Following cancellation, access to subscription-dependent AFTRNOX software, hosting and platform services may end, subject to the agreement and applicable law.

Clients retain their rights to their own content and business data.

AFTRNOX will provide reasonable arrangements for the retrieval or export of client-owned content and data, consistent with the applicable agreement and legal obligations.

An optional standalone website conversion or release may be separately quoted and agreed.

AFTRNOX and the client agree to protect confidential information received in connection with the services.

AFTRNOX will handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy obligations and its published Privacy Policy.

Client business data will not be treated as AFTRNOX proprietary intellectual property solely because it is processed through AFTRNOX systems.

Some websites and software may use third-party hosting, software libraries, APIs, payment providers or other external services.

These services may be subject to separate licences, terms, charges and availability requirements.

AFTRNOX cannot transfer rights to third-party technology that it does not own.

AFTRNOX will provide services with due care and skill as required by applicable Australian law.

Service availability may be affected by maintenance, internet outages, hosting providers, third-party services or other circumstances outside AFTRNOX's reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights, remedies or consumer guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Any additional liability limitations must be set out in the applicable agreement and comply with Australian law.

AFTRNOX may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time.

Updated terms will display their effective date.

Changes will not retrospectively alter agreed ownership rights, fees or material contractual obligations unless permitted by the existing agreement and applicable law.

Where required, AFTRNOX will obtain the client's agreement to material changes.

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, subject to applicable Australian law.

Where AFTRNOX and a client enter into a separately signed service agreement, that agreement will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these website terms.

Any transfer of intellectual property ownership or grant of exclusive rights must be expressly agreed in writing.
