Invalid or Non-Enforceable Provisions

The invalidity or non-enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, as so determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, will not affect the other provisions hereof, and in any such occasion this Agreement will be construed in all respects as if such invalid or non-enforceable provision were omitted. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto.

Choice of Law / Venue

This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the business governing the country and the venue for any action, dispute or proceeding with respect to this Agreement will be the according venue and the institution of law in the business governing country.

Domain Agreement

CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technology may provide new top level domain names for new clients as requested by them, on packages which specifically state this. These domain names might carry no charge for renewals thereafter to the client while the client remains hosted at 2u2 Web Technology and within a predefined agreement for hosting a free-domain name inclusive service.

In general terms the client is responsible for renewing their domain names by contacting the sales department, if the renewal is not automated. Should the client decide to switch domain name hosting providers, the client agrees to pay a yearly (or bi-yearly fee) as listed on the CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technology website, for domain name registrations, transfers or service provisioning agreements.

Domain name is the only thing that the client can fully own and is managed by ICANN or AUDA with 2u2 Web Technologies as their member, a fully registered registration provider.

Clients are always free to move, transfer, or re-point their domain name wherever they like at any time. However, if the Client chooses to move their domain name, they take full responsibility for any resulting consequences. If the website, email delivery, or any associated digital services break, malfunction, or become inaccessible as a result of moving the domain, it is entirely the Client's responsibility and CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies assumes no liability for the outage or required repairs.

Except for the client's respective domain name, any services rendered solely by us, or by CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, including any subsidiaries or representatives, are at the sole ownership of CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, including all services rendered, including the code, implementation of code, or any programmable code assembly that has been commissioned. If not defined by an explicit NDA, or an intermediate contract between the Client and CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, then CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies is the sole author and owner of any programmable solution.

Email / Mailing List Policy

Servers which are for mailing only are disallowed on 2u2 Web Technology's network. A mailing only server is defined as any shared/semi-dedicated/dedicated/colocated server whose primary purpose is sending email over SMTP. 2u2 Web Technology's network is monitored through multiple feedback loops and may terminate, without prior warning, a server which has a high complaint ratio including servers that may be CAN-SPAM compliant. Running a single opt-in, opt-out only, or any other non-double opt-in mailing list will result in server termination.

Mailing list requirements:

  • Mailing lists must be double opt-in lists.
  • Messages must have clear removal instructions and valid headers.
  • Removal requests must be completed within 24 hours.
  • Messages must include details on how the user subscribed.
  • These details must be provided to 2u2 Web Technology on request.

Excessive complaints may result in account termination. 2u2 Web Technology reserves the right to charge a $15,000 fee for IPs which are blacklisted due to failing to adhere to 2u2 Web Technology policies. Operating an account on behalf of, or in connection with, or reselling any service to, persons or firms listed in the Spamhaus Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database will result in immediate account termination.

Reserved Rights

At CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, and all related entities, including domain names: whoops.online, 2u2.com.au (and all subsidiaries and domains), doubleyoutoo.com, doubleyoutoo.com.au, indeed.is, thelematics.com — we reserve the rights to change the claims, terms, conditions and pricing of any service, product or solution as rendered by us, or any of us, at any time and without an imminent announcement.

The reserved rights are related to all levels of engagement, services and products, including:

  • Domain names
  • Hosting services and infrastructure
  • Dynamic services
  • Graphic design and branding
  • Online advertising
  • IT procurement and IT solutions
  • Code and web development (including all compute languages, libraries and third parties)
  • Additionally agreed services, relationships and employments at any level

The imminent reserved rights price changes are rationally determined on the scopes of economical environments, infrastructure changes, bandwidth data changes, service provisioning price changes and third party data infrastructure pricing changes.

The price changes, terms and conditions of services are not necessarily announced on every occasion, as these are dependent upon and relative to a wider network changes, contracting relationship changes and changes as imposed from third parties, not excluding the changes imposed by our clients. Please respect the relationship as a trust-based cooperation between two professional parties. We reserve our rights to change the terms, conditions and pricing at any point, without warning and without prejudice.

Authorship & Ownership

We reserve the rights to hold the authorship and ownership on any digital assets, code, services provided to the Client, if these fall under the Laws and Copyright of the IT and Creative arts, if the work or services rendered have been provided without contract and until the project disengagement agreement is rendered between us and the client. For further information please look into the regulations of IT, Creative services and IP of your local regulative body.

For clients operating without an explicit NDA or external contract, attempting to suddenly move, migrate, or extract proprietary applications, code, or databases away from our servers is strictly not allowed. Before any such attempt is made, the Client must formally request a Disengagement Agreement and must book a consultation session with our team to formally discuss the handover procedure. Any unauthorized attempts to move assets prior to executing a Disengagement Agreement will be treated as a breach of our Intellectual Property rights.

In the proposed terms and conditions, the authorship of a web application built without a formal contract, including its design, functionality, and performance, remains with the author. If CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies, or any of its subsidiaries, is the author, they retain ownership until the project is deemed complete by the client. Prior to completion, the client effectively rents the application, with CONNECT having the discretion to adjust the rental fee.

To take ownership and secure the Intellectual Property rights to the application, the client must confirm completion and undergo a handover procedure, incurring an Intellectual Property Buyout Fee calculated as 50% of all accrued payments plus an additional 50%. The 50/50 cost structure for handover means the client pays an additional amount equal to 100% of the payments they have already made — essentially doubling the total amount paid to this point. If a client has paid a certain amount for the services until the handover, they will need to match that amount again to complete the purchase, making the total cost for full IP ownership the original amount plus its equal. This pricing strategy ensures that CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies covers its costs and efforts in the development while providing a clear path for clients to gain full ownership of the developed web application or website.

CONNECT, 2u2 Web Technologies reserves the right to maintain authorship and ownership of all digital assets, code, and services until a formal disengagement agreement is made, in line with IT and creative arts copyright laws. This policy applies to work provided without a formal contract. For specifics on IT, creative services, and IP rights, clients are advised to consult their local regulatory bodies.

Client Data Ownership

As between the Parties, the Client retains sole ownership of all data stored or processed through the services provided by CONNECT, 2u2 Technologies ("Service Provider"). This includes all rights, title, and interest in and to the Client's data, irrespective of whether the data is stored on the Service Provider's platform.

Responsibilities of the Client: The Client is solely responsible for the content, accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and ownership or right to use all Client Data. The Service Provider is not liable for any actions taken by the Client that result in the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss, or failure to store any Client Data.

Client Responsibilities and Compliance

  • Failing to pay invoices
  • Operating outside the terms of the service agreement
  • Exceeding the scope of the retainer
  • Taking any other actions that prevent normal access to the data hosted or processed by the Service Provider

In the event that the Client fails to comply with these responsibilities, the Service Provider reserves the right to take appropriate action, including the automated suspension of services and imposition of penalties, as outlined in this document.

Data Retrieval and Associated Fees

If the Client requires the retrieval of data outside the scope of the active service retainer, or after actions have been taken by the Client that prevent normal access to the data, the Service Provider may charge additional fees. These fees cover the time, resources, and administrative efforts required to retrieve and prepare the data.

Before any data retrieval requests will be fulfilled, all outstanding invoices must be paid in full. The Service Provider reserves the right to withhold services, including data retrieval, until the Client's account is current. In the event of service cancellation, the cancellation must comply with the Term and Service Cancellation Requests as described in these Terms and Conditions.

Fee Structure for Data Retrieval:

  • Data Retrieval and Preparation Fees: Charges for the time and technical resources required to extract and deliver Client Data.
  • Administrative and Legal Fees: Costs associated with preparing any necessary documentation to facilitate the transfer of data, including legal documents if required.
  • Penalties for Non-Compliance: Additional penalties may be imposed if the data retrieval request is due to the Client's non-compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

Upon request for data retrieval, the Service Provider will provide the Client with a detailed estimate of the fees involved. The data retrieval process will only commence once the Client has approved the estimate and any outstanding payments have been made.

If the Client requires data that is not readily exportable through the provided web application, the Client must submit a formal request by submitting a ticket on the Service Provider's support system. The request should specify the nature and scope of the data required. Data retrieval will proceed only after the Client approves the estimate and all outstanding invoices are paid.

Data Retention Policy

Clients are required to make their scheduled payments to keep their service active. If a payment is overdue, clients receive an initial reminder after 2 days. Subsequent reminders are sent every 2 days, totalling 3 reminders. If payment is not received after 7 days, the service is suspended and becomes unavailable.

Data Retention Post-Suspension:

  • Suspension Status: Once the service is suspended, clients cannot access their service or the web application.
  • Data Access: Clients can only access their service if they pay the outstanding invoices.
  • Grace Period: Clients are provided with a grace period of 14 days to settle any outstanding invoices and regain access to their service.
  • Data Deletion: If the outstanding invoices remain unpaid after the 14-day grace period, the data will be permanently deleted.

If access to the service is lost due to client actions or faults, it is solely the client's responsibility. The provider will not be liable for any data loss or service issues resulting from client negligence or errors. Once data is permanently deleted, recovery is not possible, and the provider is not obligated to restore it.

The Service Provider may terminate the service agreement if the Client fails to remedy breaches of these Terms and Conditions within the specified period following notice from the Service Provider.
