    ZELLIS Connect Terms & Conditions

    ZELLIS is an Authorised Reseller of the Neto multichannel commerce platform by Maropost. ZELLIS Connect is a registered trademark of Emotiogence Pty Ltd trading as ZELLIS (hereafter ZELLIS) which is licenced to Unified Commerce Solutions Pty Ltd (hereafter ‘UCS’) for use in relation to the ZELLIS Connect unified commerce platform and related services. UCS is the billing entity for ZELLIS Connect. Maropost is the owner, provider and maintainer of the Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) solution (‘the Service’), and ZELLIS provides related administration, training, support and account management in addition to other Professional Services. As such, the Terms & Conditions published below are contingent on the Terms & Conditions published by Maropost on their website here and should be read in conjunction with them. UCS is the billing entity for ZELLIS Connect.

The Merchant accepts that occasionally Downtime arises and agrees it shall not be entitled to any other compensation or payment by ZELLIS or Maropost for or in respect of Downtime (howsoever caused).

    1. Support
      1. Maropost shall provide the Merchant with:
        • Scheduled Maintenance;
        • Remedial Maintenance.
      2. ZELLIS shall provide the Merchant with Help Desk Support pertaining to the SaaS and Hosting Service, including user training.

Where a technical or troubleshooting issue requires escalation by ZELLIS to Maropost, the Merchant accepts that the response times, solutions and workarounds are subject to Maropost’s own Terms & Conditions and capacity to attend to the issue.
    1. Service Fees
      1. UCS is the billing entity for ZELLIS Connect and related services. The Merchant shall pay to UCS the Fees set out in the Plan and as otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. The Plan fees include subscription to the Neto platform (SaaS) with all available features, plus related support and account management services as set out in the Plan.
      2. The merchant agrees to a minimum Term of 12 months following the free trial period specified in the selected Plan, with automatic continuance of the Services in monthly intervals in perpetuity until terminated in accordance with section 18.
      3. Maropost invests heavily in continuing to build out their Neto platform, cyber security prevention, site performance, developing Merchant user documentation and providing support to ZELLIS so we can in turn assist Merchants to become successful retailers and wholesalers, using the Neto platform. As a result, from time to time, it is necessary to increase fees and change plan offerings. ZELLIS may do this by serving not less than one (1) month’s prior written notice of the same upon the Merchant and giving the Merchant an opportunity to terminate hereunder prior to the expiry of that notice period if the Merchant does not accept the varied Service Fees. The Merchant shall not be entitled to any compensation or other remedy in the event of termination hereunder. Upon the expiry of the notice period, if the Merchant has not terminated, the Merchant shall be deemed to have accepted the varied Service Fees as notified by ZELLIS.
      4. At the commencement of the ZELLIS Connect service, the Merchant will be required to activate a direct debit authority with UCS via Pinch Payments who upon completion of the Plan free trial period, will then direct debit the Plan fee in advance each month from the nominated payment source. Where the merchant commences service partway through a calendar month, the first invoice will be pro-rata for the remainder of that month, and full monthly charges in advance will commence from the 1st of the following calendar month.
      5. Access to all Services (including Support) and the Neto cPanel are contingent on the Merchant’s account being up to date. Where a direct debit fails and payment is not made within 7 days, the Merchant’s cPanel access may be blocked without notice until the account is brought up to date. Accounts remaining overdue for more than 60 days will be deactivated where no alternative agreement has been made with ZELLIS. When an account is deactivated, it cannot be retrieved and all data and coding will be forever lost. The Merchant agrees to indemnify ZELLIS and UCS against any liability arising from the deactivation of a delinquent account.
      6. ZELLIS or UCS may pass on and charge the Merchant any fees, levies or charges it incurs as a result of any credit card, direct debit or similar payment transaction failing or being declined.
      7. ZELLIS may at its sole discretion recommence or restore the provision of or access to the Services if any overdue invoice for Service Fees is paid.
      8. The Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it may take up to 2 business days for any Service to be recommenced or restored.
      9. Additional charges apply for website setup (less a once-off webstore setup rebate), shipping configuration, marketplace and third-party system integrations, data migration, data feeds, API development, data structuring and optimisation, custom design, web development and other services delivered by ZELLIS. The Merchant is eligible for a discount on ZELLIS services as specified in the Plan.
      10. Unless otherwise stated, Service Fees are exclusive of Australian GST. Where required by law, ZELLIS will add GST to the Plan Fee and the Merchant will be direct debited by Pinch Payments for the full amount including GST each month. The Merchant shall receive a tax invoice for all fees paid.
      11. Service Fees set out in the Plan are billed in advance of their respective terms and automatically renew at the end of their respective terms for an equivalent term.
      12. Service Fees are non-refundable including but not limited to when the Plan is cancelled mid-term.
    1. Errors and omissions
      1. ZELLIS shall use its best endeavours to rectify at its cost any material errors or omissions in the Services provided hereunder promptly whenever such an error or omission is found in the course of execution of the Services. An error or omission is material if ZELLIS determines in its absolute discretion (acting reasonably) that it is not minor and prevents the Services from satisfying the Merchant’s specifications, any Legislative Requirements and/or the standards of Good Industry Practice.
      2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ZELLIS shall not be liable to rectify any errors or omissions caused or partly caused directly or indirectly by or arising from:
        • any misinformation provided by the Merchant;
        • any direction given by the Merchant;
        • any conduct of the Merchant or any third party;
        • any undue duress, pressure or influence exerted by the Merchant upon ZELLIS or its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors; or
        • any accident, act of God, fire, flood, war, act of violence, terrorism or similar occurrence beyond ZELLIS’s reasonable control.

      1. To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the foregoing subject always to the Competition and Consumer Act, the Australian Consumer Law, and the Fair Trading Acts of each State and Territory in Australia, ZELLIS does not warrant either the quality or standard of the Services provided hereunder, or the design, performance, use, utility, fitness for purposes or merchantable or acceptable quality of any software, service, product or thing for any particular purpose or at all, other than to the extent expressly represented in these General Terms & Conditions or in any documentation prepared and supplied by ZELLIS to the Merchant hereunder and to the extent implied or required by law.
      2. ZELLIS may, at its option, choose to satisfy any claim for rectification of any defect or omission in the Services by either:

      3. In no case shall the value of a claim by the Merchant for rectification of any defect or omission (as assessed and determined by Maropost, acting reasonably) exceed the total value of the Services Fees paid by the Merchant under these General Terms & Conditions up to the date the claim is made, and all damage or expense over and above such amount shall be the responsibility of the Merchant.
      4. ZELLIS shall not be liable to the Merchant for any delay or delays in the provision of the Services.

ZELLIS may invoice the Merchant any such costs incurred by it and the Merchant shall promptly pay the invoice within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice.
    1. Default & consequences of default

      5. If the Merchant defaults in payment of any Service Fees, the Merchant shall indemnify ZELLIS from and against all costs and disbursements incurred by ZELLIS in pursuing the debt including legal costs on a solicitor and own Merchant basis and ZELLIS’s collection agency costs.
      6. Interest on overdue Service Fees shall accrue daily from the date when payment becomes due, until the date of payment, at the rate or rates prescribed from time to time under Section 2 (as applicable) of the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983 (Vic) and such interest shall be calculated and invoiced monthly and shall be payable to ZELLIS immediately upon invoicing.

If any account remains overdue after thirty (30) days, then an amount of the greater of twenty dollars ($20.00) or ten percent (10%) of the amount overdue (up to a maximum of two hundred dollars ($200) shall be levied for administration fees which sum shall become immediately due and payable.
