3. Storbie Service

   As long as you comply with the terms of this Agreement and pay all relevant fees Storbie will allow you to be a User. This right is not exclusive to you and cannot be transferred by you to anyone else. This right is limited by these terms (including our rights to end this Agreement) and any other limitations that we may inform you of from time to time. You acknowledge that these terms (as applicable) will apply to you at all times that you receive any Service from Storbie including in the event that you become a User in a different form or forms during the term of your Agreement with Storbie. You will only be bound by those terms that apply to the type of User you are at any particular time. For example, where you are an Authenticated Browser you will not be bound by the provisions relating only to Website Owners. However, should you become a Website Owner while being an Authenticated Browser then you will become bound by such provisions. Storbie will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services are properly provided to you. However, because it’s a low-cost service, run over the internet, we do not guarantee or represent that these Services will be error-free, uninterrupted, continuously available, secure, private, or free from viruses or malicious programs or compatible with any hardware or software you might use. Storbie is not responsible for any delay or failure caused by anything beyond its reasonable control. From time to time, Storbie may need to carry out maintenance that will interrupt access to the Services provided by Storbie. Storbie reserves the right to make changes over time to the provision of Services to you, including to the format, layout, look-and-feel, and functionality of Websites. Storbie reserves the right to view any aspect of the Service provided to you including any part of a Website owned by you and details of any orders. You acknowledge that, if applicable, you are acquiring a Website for the purposes of a business and accordingly the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (“CGA”) do not apply. Where the provision of Services to you, other than the acquisition of a Website, is for the purposes of a business you also acknowledge that the provisions of the CGA do not apply. As an Authenticated Browser you acknowledge that you have no rights as against Storbie for any claim under the CGA for any purchase made from a Website.

4. Fees and Payment

   You must pay all applicable fees for the provision of Services to you (plus all applicable taxes) in accordance with the then current fees and payment terms that are posted on Storbie’s website or that we otherwise notify you of from time to time. We may require you to set up an automatic payment to Storbie or provide us with your credit card details so that we can debit your account for the applicable fees.

If there is any problem with such service you agree to pursue any remedy solely against the third party provider and not us.

    Where you are a Website Owner, you agree that we may include a by-line and logo on your Website(s) and may feature your Website(s) on the Storbie website or in our advertising.

11. Intellectual Property

    Storbie (and/or our providers as applicable) owns and shall retain all rights, title and interest in the Storbie IP.

12. Indemnity

    You agree to fully indemnify and keep indemnified Storbie, and our suppliers, directors, employees, and agents against all claims, proceedings, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs (both direct and indirect) and expenses (including full legal costs) arising out of or in any way connected to your use, or anyone else’s use, of the Services provided to you or arising out of any breach by you of this Agreement, law, regulation or license, or anything else you do or do not do in relation to the provision of the Services to you (in each case a “Claim”). This includes any Claim that arises because the Services or any third party services weren’t working properly.

13. Limitation of Liability

    The Services provided by Storbie are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You agree to bear the risks of conducting your business on this basis. That means, for example (but without limitation), we are not liable to you or anyone else if your any Website cannot be accessed for any reason, if your order or the order of a customer is not fulfilled or is recorded incorrectly in a Website or if the Services cannot be provided to you for any reason. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Storbie and our suppliers, directors, employees, and agents (“Related Parties”) will not be liable to you, or any third party, for any: loss or damage to information or data from any cause; breach of security or privacy; loss of profit, opportunity, or saving; or incidental, indirect, special or consequential loss or damage. If Storbie or our Related Parties are liable to you for any reason, and for any reason we have not been able to exclude that liability under this Agreement, then the maximum aggregate liability of Storbie and our Related Parties (together) to you for anything we or Related Parties have done or not done (including any breach of this Agreement) will under no circumstances exceed NZ$35. The maximum aggregate liability above, and any exclusions or disclaimers of liability in this Agreement, shall apply however liability arises, whether in contract, in tort (including negligence), for breach of statutory duty, or otherwise. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, all representations and warranties, express or implied, are excluded to the maximum extent allowed by law.

14. Changes to These Terms

    From time to time, Storbie may change the terms of this Agreement (including the fees and payment terms) or issue additional terms. We will take all reasonable steps to give you at least 5 days’ notice in writing before any changes take effect. Your continued acceptance of the provision of Services to you after such notice confirms you accept the amended terms.

15. Suspending or Limiting Service

    Storbie may suspend the provision of Services to you at any time, for any reason. Where you are a Website Owner, we may require you to amend any aspect of a Website, for example (but without limitation) we may require you to change a product description or remove an image. During the period of any suspension of Services you must still pay all applicable Storbie’s fees. However, we may at our sole discretion choose to credit you with a portion of the fees that were subject to the suspension or limitation.

16. Terminating this Agreement

    Storbie may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if you are in breach of this Agreement or if you have entered into receivership, liquidation, bankruptcy, or have entered into a compromise or composition with your creditors. Storbie may also terminate this Agreement for any reason on one month’s written notice to you. Users, other than Partners, may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing Storbie with one month’s written notice. Partners may terminate this Agreement by providing Storbie with 60 days’ written notice.

    In the event of termination for any reason:

    If we terminate or suspend access to any Website that you own or manage we will use our reasonable endeavours to supply you with information relating to any unfilled orders.

    Termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall not: relieve either Storbie or you from any right, liability, or claim that has accrued before the date of termination or cancellation; or affect the provisions of this Agreement which expressly, or by their nature, survive termination or cancellation, including as are set out in the sections headed Intellectual property, Indemnity, Limitation of liability, Terminating this Agreement, General.

17. General

Any variation to this Agreement will only be effective if it is issued in writing by Storbie, in accordance with the notice provision below. Other than as expressly agreed between the parties, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, arrangements, understandings or representations relating to that subject matter.
