YES AI - Terms of Service

1. Structure, Incorporation & Precedence

1.1 Incorporation by reference. Every YES AI proposal, quote, statement of work ("SOW"), order form, invoice, email confirmation of scope or pricing, or renewal (each an "Order") incorporates these Terms by reference via the URL included in that document. These Terms also apply to Services you ask for or accept from us after we have given you, or pointed you to, these Terms, including extra work you request by email during an engagement. The Order and these Terms form a single agreement (the "Agreement").

1.2 Precedence. The project-specific details in an Order (scope, deliverables, fees, milestones and payment schedule) prevail over these Terms where the two are inconsistent, and are read together with these Terms (including §§4.6 and 8.4) where they are not. A payment linked to an event in an Order is consistent with §8.4, and §8.4 applies to it unless the Order expressly excludes §8.4. If a fully executed written agreement between the parties (e.g., MSA or SOW) expressly states that it overrides conflicting terms, it will prevail to the extent of conflict; otherwise these Terms govern. Client purchase order terms are rejected and have no effect even if we reference a PO number.

1.3 Updates. The version accepted when an Order is made applies to that Order. We may update these Terms for future Orders and renewals by posting a new version at the referenced URL. For a month-to-month or renewing Service, we may apply a change after giving at least 30 days' written notice to your billing/admin contact; if a change materially disadvantages you, you may terminate the affected Service before it takes effect without an early termination charge, and we will refund prepaid fees for the period after termination. During a fixed term, a change applies only if it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, to address a material security or abuse risk, or to maintain the operation of a Third-Party Service - and it must be limited to that purpose and must not materially reduce the core Service or increase fixed fees. An urgent change may take effect sooner, but we will explain it promptly, and if it materially disadvantages you for more than a temporary period the same no-charge exit applies. No update operates retrospectively or changes accrued rights, an existing dispute, or fees already earned.

1.4 Electronic transactions. You consent to contracting electronically, including acceptance via email, click-through, or payment, which is enforceable under Australian law.

1.5 Business acquisition & Australian Consumer Law. The Services and Deliverables are supplied primarily for business, professional, charitable or government use, and not for personal, domestic or household use or consumption. A business can still be a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, including where the price is below the statutory threshold. Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. Where the Australian Consumer Law permits us to limit our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee in relation to services not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, our liability is limited, at our option, to supplying the affected services again or paying the reasonable cost of having them supplied again. That limitation applies only to the extent it is fair and reasonable for us to rely on it under s64A of the Australian Consumer Law.

Service availability, scope, pricing, and standards are as set out in the applicable Order, and not by reference to marketing pages, blog posts, comparison pages, screenshots, demos or social media content (which are illustrative only).

3.2 SOWs and changes. An Order/SOW will set scope, assumptions, dependencies, milestones, acceptance criteria, fees, and billing. Time & Materials estimates are non-binding. Any change request, delay, or dependency issue may adjust scope, timeline, and fees via written change control (email sufficient). If you ask for work outside the agreed scope and we confirm in writing that we will do it, it is charged at the rates in the Order or, if none are stated, at our standard rates at that time, unless we quote a fixed price for it first.

3.3 Availability. We may modify, rate-limit, or discontinue any feature (including Beta Features). We'll try to avoid disruptions and will communicate material changes that impact you. If, during a paid term, we remove or materially reduce a paid feature that is a core part of your Order (other than for a reason permitted by §1.3 or §19.3), you may end the affected Service without an early termination charge, and we will refund any prepaid fees for the period after it ends.

3.4 Non-exclusivity. We may provide similar services to others, including your competitors, provided we fulfill our confidentiality obligations.

3.5 Free services, audits, assessments, quizzes & calculators. We may make available, at no charge, materials including (without limitation) free AI audits, website audits, security audits, readiness assessments, ROI calculators, quizzes, lead magnets, demos, samples, white papers, guides and previews ("Free Services"). Free Services are provided strictly on an "as-is", "as-available", "for general information only" basis. They do not constitute legal, medical, financial, tax, security, IT, accounting, immigration, employment, regulatory, fiduciary or other professional advice, do not establish an advisor, professional, fiduciary or client relationship, and must not be relied upon for any decision of material consequence. We may modify, suspend, withdraw, refuse access to, or discontinue any Free Service at any time without notice and without liability. Where you submit information to access or interact with a Free Service, you grant us all rights set out in §§7.8 and 15 with respect to that information and its outputs. Our total aggregate liability for any Free Service is limited to AUD $0, to the maximum extent permitted by law (your non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law are preserved).

3.6 One-off paid sessions and short-form engagements. Where the Order describes a fixed-fee, one-off, hourly, capped-hours, "blitz", "sprint", workshop, masterclass, mentoring or consultation engagement (a "Short-Form Engagement"), the Services and Deliverables are limited to what is actually performed during the booked session(s) and within the time and scope stated in the Order. Where a session ends, time is exhausted, or scope is reached, no further work, follow-up, advice, support, revisions, fix-ups or warranties are owed unless a separate Order is agreed. Recordings, transcripts, summaries and notes are provided at our discretion and may be reused per §§7.8 and 15. Fees are payable up-front unless we agree otherwise in writing.

3.7 Promotional, charity, introductory and time-limited offers. From time to time we may offer promotional pricing, charity discounts (including without limitation the "VIC charity offer"), introductory rates, bundles, vouchers, credits or beta-pricing ("Offers"). Offers: (a) are subject to eligibility, scope and conditions stated when published; (b) apply only for the period stated and may be modified, suspended or withdrawn by us at any time prior to acceptance; (c) are single-use unless stated otherwise; (d) are not transferable, not redeemable for cash and not stackable with other offers; (e) may require advance payment, identity or eligibility verification; and (f) may be subject to a minimum commitment, term, or fair-use cap. Eligibility decisions are at our reasonable discretion. We may revoke an Offer at any time on reasonable grounds, including suspected misuse, ineligibility or chargeback.

4. Client Responsibilities

Great outcomes are a team sport. The items below are the practical inputs we need from you so we can move quickly and safely.

4.1 Co-operation. Provide timely access to systems, SMEs, approvals, test data, and decision-makers, and nominate a project contact who can make decisions for you and will reply to us. Please keep that contact and your billing contact up to date, so our messages reach the right person. Missing inputs may pause work and incur additional fees, as set out in §§3.2, 4.6 and 8.4.

4.2 Lawful data & consents. You are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy and completeness of Client Data and for obtaining all rights and consents including but not limited to call recording notices, voice analytics, biometric processing, telemarketing consents, and cross-border transfers.

4.3 Use restrictions. You must not: (a) use the Services to violate law or third-party rights; (b) probe or breach security; (c) circumvent limits, metering, or billing; (d) reverse engineer or attempt to extract weights, prompts, or model parameters; (e) use outputs without appropriate human review where outcomes could materially affect individuals; (f) use in high-risk contexts (clinical diagnosis, emergency response, critical infrastructure, autonomous vehicles) without a written risk assessment and human-in-the-loop.

4.4 Compliance. You are responsible for compliance with privacy, spam/telemarketing, health records, employment and sectoral rules, including maintaining auditable records of consent. On request you will promptly provide evidence of consent for specified contacts.

4.5 Security. You will implement reasonable technical and organisational measures for your environments, credentials, and endpoints, including MFA, role-based access, and least-privilege.

4.7 Users & accounts. You will give access only to Users you have authorised, keep their logins private, remove access promptly when someone leaves or no longer needs it, and tell us promptly if you suspect a login has been misused. Activity under your Users' logins is treated as yours, except to the extent it results from our breach or a security failure on our side.

4.8 Approvals. To keep your project moving, if we ask you in writing to approve a design, content or configuration choice and you have not replied within 10 business days after a reminder, we may go ahead on the basis set out in our request. If you later want something different, we will treat it as a change under §3.2.

5. Fees, Billing, Indexation & Taxes

5.1 Fees. Fees are as set out in the Order and exclude GST. Subject to §5.1A, Fees also exclude pass-through costs (e.g., model tokens, cloud usage, storage, bandwidth, voice minutes, SMS, transcription, domain/number fees, third-party licences). We may require upfront retainers or minimum monthly commitments.

5.2 Usage & pass-through. Third-party usage that is not covered by an included allowance is billed at cost plus 10% administrative uplift unless otherwise stated. Where an item has an included allowance, usage above that allowance is charged at the overage rate stated in the Order or on our pricing page for that plan or, if no rate is stated, at cost plus the 10% uplift. Pricing/quotas from Third-Party Services may change at any time and will flow through. We will give reasonable written notice (email is sufficient) before any material change to a published overage rate takes effect for an existing subscription.

5.3 Annual price review. A fixed fee stated for work within an accepted fixed-term Order will not be indexed during that term unless the Order clearly says otherwise. For renewals, month-to-month Services and work ordered after 1 July, we may increase recurring fees and labour rates once in any 12-month period by the greater of 3.5% and the annual percentage movement in the Australian Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index, All Groups, weighted average of eight capital cities (most recent published December quarter against the previous December quarter). We will give at least 30 days' written notice, and if the increase materially disadvantages you, you may terminate the affected recurring Service before it takes effect without an early termination charge. No increase applies retrospectively.

5.5 Suspension for non-payment. We may suspend affected Services if an undisputed amount is still unpaid 7 days after written notice specifying the amount and the proposed suspension. We will not suspend over a genuinely disputed amount while you are complying with §5.4. Metered third-party charges that cannot reasonably be stopped may continue during suspension if we identified them in that notice. We will restore the Service within a reasonable time after payment; reasonable reactivation costs disclosed before restoration are payable. On the same notice we may also pause project work, and hold back the release of further Deliverables, under the Order the unpaid amount relates to. This covers Deliverables not yet delivered; handover items for Deliverables already delivered are dealt with under §6.3. Agreed timelines then extend by the length of the pause plus a reasonable restart period. Where a suspension could put anyone's health or safety at risk (for example an aged care, clinical or after-hours safety line), we will talk to you first and may limit the suspension to non-essential features.

5.5A Payment arrangements for future work. We keep our prices sharp by keeping our cash flow predictable. If an undisputed invoice has been more than 14 days overdue on two or more occasions in any 12-month period, we may require new work, or the next stage of current work, to be paid in advance or secured by a reasonable deposit before we start it. This does not change the price.

5.6 Early termination of a fixed-term Order. If you end a fixed-term Order for convenience before its agreed end date, you must pay: (a) fees for Services performed and Deliverables completed; (b) non-cancellable third-party costs and commitments entered into specifically for that Order; (c) reasonable demobilisation costs; and (d) our reasonable net loss from capacity reserved for the remaining term, including lost margin, but only to the extent that loss cannot reasonably be avoided or recovered by redeploying the capacity. We will take reasonable steps to mitigate and will credit costs avoided and net revenue earned from redeploying that capacity. The total early termination amount will not exceed the fixed fees and committed minimums that would otherwise have fallen due for the remaining term. No early termination amount is payable if you terminate for our material breach that we do not remedy within the applicable cure period, under an express no-penalty exit in these Terms, or because the Australian Consumer Law gives you that right.

5.7 Refunds & cancellations. We do not refund simply because you change your mind. This does not limit any refund, cancellation or other remedy required by the Australian Consumer Law, which we always honour. If Services have commenced, you remain liable for the Services supplied, the consumed part of a subscription period, and reasonable non-recoverable third-party costs, except to the extent the law requires otherwise. If you cancel before Services commence and no fixed-term early termination amount applies, we will refund what you paid less reasonable administration work actually performed and non-recoverable third-party costs, and we will explain those deductions on request. Setup fees are retained only to the extent setup work was performed or costs were committed. A pass-through cost is non-refundable only to the extent it has been incurred and cannot reasonably be recovered. Approved refunds are made to the original payment method within 30 days. Where practicable, please raise a payment dispute with us before starting a chargeback so we can investigate promptly - a knowingly false or abusive chargeback is a material breach, but using a card-scheme or statutory right in good faith is not.

5.8 Recovery costs. You will reimburse reasonable external costs actually and properly incurred in recovering an undisputed overdue amount after the notice under §5.5, including debt-collection charges, court filing fees, dishonour fees, bank/payment-processor reversal charges, and legal costs to the extent ordered by a court or reasonably incurred. We will mitigate those costs and will not recover the same amount twice. This clause does not apply to the extent our own conduct caused the cost. Amounts payable under this clause are payable on demand.

5.9 Foreign-exchange adjustment for recurring fees. A material portion of our underlying inputs (including cloud, AI/LLM, telephony, SMS, transcription, software, hosting and other third-party services) are denominated in foreign currencies, predominantly US dollars. If at any time during a subscription, retainer or other recurring engagement the Australian dollar falls by more than 5% against the relevant foreign currency below the rate that applied when the Order was accepted, we may, on at least 30 days' written notice (email is sufficient), adjust the recurring fees, retainers and pass-through rates payable under that Order from the next billing cycle after the notice period, to reflect the movement above the 5% threshold and only to the extent our costs for that Order are actually priced in that currency. The reference rate is the Reserve Bank of Australia daily AUD reference rate (or, if it is no longer published, a comparable public rate). If the AUD later recovers, we will reduce or reverse the adjustment to match from the next billing cycle. If adjustments under this clause would increase your recurring fees by more than 10% in any 12-month period, you may end the affected recurring Service before the increase takes effect without an early termination charge. This clause is in addition to (and not instead of) the indexation provisions in §5.3 and the pass-through provisions in §5.2.

5.10 Taxes & withholding. Where GST applies we will issue a valid tax invoice. If a law requires you to withhold or deduct an amount from a payment to us, please tell us before you pay and give us the evidence we need to claim any credit; you will increase the payment so that we receive the invoiced amount, except to the extent we can recover the withheld amount as a tax credit or refund. Bank and payment fees on your side of a transfer are yours.

6. Title, Licence & Intellectual Property

6.1 Pre-existing IP. Each party retains its pre-existing IP and general know-how. Our frameworks, templates, prompts, call flows, datasets, connectors, libraries, orchestration layers, runbooks, and tools (including modifications and improvements) remain our exclusive property.

6.2 Deliverables licence. So you can start getting value straight away, you may use Deliverables as we deliver them, for your business purposes, until the Order ends or that right is suspended under §6.3. Once the fees for the Deliverables under an Order are paid in full, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide, perpetual licence to use them for your business purposes (including public use of websites, content and marketing materials made for you). Unless an Order expressly states assignment of IP, all IP in and to Deliverables (other than your data) is licensed, not sold, and our underlying components remain ours. Where an Order does provide for an assignment, it takes effect once the fees for the relevant Deliverables are paid in full.

6.4 Feedback. You assign to us the feedback, suggestions and ideas you give us about our Services (but not your Confidential Information or Client Data), and we may use them without restriction to improve our Services.

6.5 Open-source & third-party components. Deliverables may include OSS and Third-Party components, each under its own licence; you agree to comply with those terms.

6.6 Your materials. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, copy, host, adapt and process Client Data, content, brand assets and other materials you or your Users provide, for as long as we need to perform the Services and meet our obligations, and you confirm you have the rights and consents needed for us to do so. You consent to our reasonable editing and adaptation of those materials for the Services, including for the purposes of moral rights law, and you will obtain the same consent from any individual author where needed.

6.7 Phone numbers & accounts. The Order says whether a phone number, carrier account or platform account is held in your name or ours. Numbers and accounts held in your name stay yours. For a number we provide, when the Service ends and all undisputed amounts are paid, we will help you port it to a carrier of your choice where the carrier and number type allow it, at our reasonable porting cost. Until then, we may stop the number routing to the Service on termination, but we will not release it to anyone else for 30 days, so you have time to arrange the port.

7. Confidentiality, Privacy & Data

7.1 Confidentiality. Each party will safeguard the other's Confidential Information using at least reasonable measures and use it solely for the Agreement. Exceptions: information that is public, independently developed, or received lawfully from a third party. Compelled disclosure permitted with prior notice where lawful. For clarity, Reference Materials and our use of them in accordance with §15 are not Confidential Information and do not breach this clause.

7.2 Privacy & DPA. When we process Personal Information on your behalf, we do so as your processor/service provider. The short-form DPA at Attachment B applies unless the parties sign a bespoke DPA. You are responsible for lawful collection and notices to individuals.

7.3 Data residency & transfer. Unless an Order states otherwise, data may be stored and processed in Australia or overseas. We may use reputable sub-processors (listed on request) and remain responsible for their performance.

7.4 Security. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the Services. You acknowledge no method is 100% secure.

7.5 Data incidents. We will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of an actual or reasonably suspected unauthorised access, disclosure, loss or material security compromise affecting Personal Information in Client Data - not only once it is assessed as notifiable - so you can make your own assessment in time. We will provide the information reasonably available to us, take reasonable containment and remediation steps, preserve relevant evidence, and co-operate with any assessment or notification required by law. Neither party will notify affected individuals or a regulator on the other's behalf unless required by law or agreed in writing.

7.6 Data export & deletion. If you ask before termination or within 30 days afterwards, we will provide a commercially reasonable export of Client Data in our standard format, subject to any reasonable extraction fee disclosed in advance (which we may ask you to pay before the export if an undisputed amount is overdue). We then delete production copies within 60 days, unless law or a documented legal hold requires retention. Encrypted backup copies may remain until overwritten in the ordinary cycle; while they do, they stay protected and are not restored except for disaster recovery or legal compliance.

7.7 Client backups. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own current, complete and recoverable backups of Client Data, configurations, content and credentials, and for verifying that those backups can be restored. Any backups we make are for our operational purposes only and are not a substitute for, or warranty of, your own backups. We are not liable for any loss, corruption, alteration, deletion, encryption (including by ransomware), or unavailability of Client Data, except to the extent it is caused by our breach of the Agreement, negligence or wilful misconduct, and then subject to §10 and reduced to the extent a current backup on your side would have avoided the loss.

7.8 Service Data & continuous improvement. We may collect, generate and process Service Data and de-identified or aggregated information derived from Client Data, and we own all such Service Data and derived information. We may use it on a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free basis to operate, secure, support, troubleshoot, develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate and improve our products, models, prompts, datasets, libraries and Services, to compile benchmarks, analytics and industry insights, and to produce anonymised reports and research, including after termination. We will not publish Client Data in a form that identifies Client or any individual. "De-identified" means de-identified within the meaning of the Privacy Act, we will not attempt to re-identify it, and we will not use Personal Information in Client Data to train or fine-tune models for anyone other than you without your written consent.

8. Acceptance, Testing & Service Levels

8.1 Acceptance. Deliverables are deemed accepted on the earlier of: (a) your written acceptance; (b) first production use; or (c) 7 days after delivery (or any longer testing period stated in the Order) if you do not provide a written list of material defects. Acceptance does not affect your rights for a defect that could not reasonably have been found during that period.

8.2 Remediation. For material, reproducible non-conformities reported during the acceptance period, we will use reasonable efforts to correct. Out-of-scope requests are chargeable.

8.3 Support & SLAs. Unless a Support/SLA addendum is executed, Services are provided on a best-efforts, business-hours basis without uptime commitments.

9. Warranties, Disclaimers & Specific Risks

9.1 Professional services. We warrant that we will perform professional services with reasonable care and skill consistent with industry standards.

9.2 Generative AI & non-determinism. You acknowledge AI outputs may be probabilistic, incomplete, or incorrect and may evolve over time. You are responsible for human review and for decisions and actions based on outputs.

9.3 No regulated advice. Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not provide legal, medical, financial, tax or other regulated advice. Outputs are general information only.

9.4 Third-Party Services. We do not control Third-Party Services and are not responsible for their acts, omissions, pricing, availability, or changes. This does not affect our responsibility for sub-processors we engage under §7.3, or for the care we take in our own selection, configuration and integration work.

9.5 Australian Consumer Law. Our express warranties, exclusions and liability limits operate subject to §1.5. They do not limit a remedy for a major failure, or any other right or remedy that the Australian Consumer Law says cannot be limited.

9.6 As-is. Except as expressly stated in §9.1 and as required by the ACL, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", and we disclaim all other warranties (express, implied, statutory or by course of dealing), including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, security, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, and non-infringement.

9.7 Marketing services. Marketing services (including SEO, GEO, paid search, paid social, display, content marketing, email marketing, social media management, video, design, copywriting, PR support, reputation/review management, analytics and reporting) depend heavily on third-party platforms, algorithms, ad-policy decisions, account-quality histories, market conditions, competitor behaviour and your own products, pricing and operations - most of which are outside our control. Accordingly, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no representation, warranty or guarantee as to: search-engine rankings, AI-citation rates, traffic, impressions, clicks, click-through rate, conversion rate, leads, sales, revenue, return on ad spend, return on investment, follower growth, engagement, deliverability, open or reply rate, brand sentiment, share of voice, or the outcome of any campaign, listing, audit, or report. Examples, case studies and benchmarks are illustrative only and are not promises of results. Media spend, platform fees, ad credits, listing fees, software, stock assets, talent, voiceovers, music and other third-party costs are pass-through per §5.2 and are payable in advance unless we agree otherwise. You retain ownership and control of your ad accounts, business profiles, social pages, domains, hosting, mailing lists, CRM data and brand assets, and you grant us a limited licence to access, configure and use them solely to perform the Services. You are responsible for ad-policy compliance (including therapeutic goods, financial products, gambling, alcohol, weapons, political, complementary medicine, employment and similar regulated categories), the lawfulness and accuracy of all advertising content, having all rights and consents needed for any creative, footage, talent, music, models, locations and brand assets you supply, and complying with the Spam Act 2003, the Do Not Call Register Act 2006, the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Consumer Law and any sectoral marketing rules. Suspension, restriction, account loss, ranking loss, deindexing, demonetisation, deplatforming, shadow-banning, content removal, or policy enforcement by any third-party platform is not a default by us, and remedies (if any) lie with that platform. Editorial discretion remains with us as to creative method; you may direct outcomes by Order or change request.

9.8 Cybersecurity, audit, assessment and testing services. Cybersecurity, IT-risk and information-security services (including without limitation security assessments, audits, penetration tests, vulnerability scans, configuration reviews, email-security checks, network scans, "health" audits, awareness training and security monitoring - together "Security Services") are provided strictly on a point-in-time, scope-limited, best-efforts basis and within the in-scope assets, methods, time-window and depth specified in the Order. Findings reflect the configuration and behaviour observed at the time of testing and within the scope tested only; the absence of a finding is not a representation that no vulnerability, defect, exposure, breach, malware, misconfiguration or risk exists. Tools and methodologies may produce false positives and false negatives. We do not guarantee detection or prevention of any vulnerability, breach, intrusion, data loss, malware, ransomware, business email compromise, social engineering, supply-chain attack or any other security incident. We are not, and you must not represent us as, a managed security service provider, a chief information security officer, an incident-response retainer, a 24/7 SOC, or a regulatory examiner unless an explicit, signed addendum says so. Reports are confidential to you, must not be used as a marketing document or distributed to third parties without our prior written consent, and may not be relied upon by any third party. You warrant that you own, or are fully authorised by all relevant owners and operators to permit, the testing of every in-scope asset (including any third-party hosting, SaaS, cloud and shared infrastructure), and you assume all risk of testing-induced disruption, downtime, alerts, blocks, suspensions or charges. You will maintain at all times appropriate cyber-liability insurance, business-continuity, disaster-recovery, data-backup and incident-response capabilities; our Services are not a substitute for any of them. You acknowledge cybersecurity is a layered, ongoing discipline and that ours is one component of your broader risk-management program. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with all Security Services is sub-capped at the lesser of (a) AUD $1,000, or (b) the fees you paid for the specific Security Services engagement giving rise to the claim, and this sub-cap operates within (and does not increase) the overall cap in §10.2.

9.9 Training, coaching, workshops & educational materials. Training, coaching, mentoring, masterclasses, workshops, courses, upskilling programs and educational materials (together "Training") are provided for general educational purposes only. They do not constitute regulated, professional or fiduciary advice (including legal, medical, clinical, allied-health, psychological, financial, tax, accounting, immigration, employment, OHS, engineering, architectural or veterinary advice). We make no representation or guarantee as to skill acquisition, certification eligibility, examination results, employment, promotion, productivity gain, or business outcome. Materials, slides, recordings, prompts, templates, workbooks and exercises are licensed for the named individual learner's internal use only and may not be copied, distributed, posted, resold, used to train any AI/ML model, or used to provide competing services. We may record sessions for quality, internal training, product improvement and reference/marketing per §15. Attendance, refunds and rescheduling are governed by the Order and §5.7. You are responsible for ensuring attendees have the equipment, connectivity, supervision, working-with-children clearances, accessibility accommodations and other requirements appropriate to their participation.

9.10 Web design, development & hosting set-up. Where we provide website design, build, migration, hosting set-up, plug-in selection, theme customisation or content-management configuration, we use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a site consistent with the Order. We do not warrant uninterrupted operation, freedom from defects, accessibility conformance beyond a level expressly scoped, browser compatibility beyond current commercially-reasonable versions of major browsers as at delivery, search rankings, traffic, conversions, or compatibility with future platform, browser, plug-in, theme or third-party API changes. Hosting, DNS, domain registration, SSL, email, payment, e-commerce, plug-ins, themes, fonts, stock assets and analytics are third-party services per §9.4. You are responsible for the accuracy, lawfulness, ownership and licensing of all content (text, images, video, audio, code) provided to us, and for ongoing content updates, security patching, plug-in updates, backups and monitoring after launch unless an explicit maintenance Order applies. Source code, components and configurations are licensed under §6.2 (not assigned) unless the Order expressly assigns them. Custom code may include OSS components subject to their own licences. Any "guarantee", "promise", "fix", "uptime" or "results" representation that is not expressly written in an Order is rejected.

9.11 Free, complimentary, demo, trial and no-charge Services. Where any portion of the Services or Deliverables is provided at no charge - including Free Services per §3.5, demos, samples, trials, evaluations, audits, assessments, quizzes, calculators, lead-magnet content, complimentary sessions and free Beta Features - those portions are provided without warranty of any kind, are excluded from all service levels, support obligations and indemnities, and our total aggregate liability for them is limited to AUD $0 to the maximum extent permitted by law (your non-excludable rights under the ACL are preserved).

9.12 Internet, telecommunications & third-party infrastructure. The Services depend on the public internet, mobile and fixed-line telecommunications, telephony carriers, SMS gateways, electricity, cloud platforms, AI model providers, transcription providers, identity providers, payment processors, email gateways, DNS, domain registries, certificate authorities and similar third-party infrastructure. We are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability for, performance, latency, availability, accuracy, security, change, deprecation, restriction, throttling, blocking, suspension, censorship, outage or pricing change of any such infrastructure, and we may suspend, modify or substitute components of the Services in response.

9.13 Beta Features. Beta Features are provided on an "as-is", "as-available", "no-warranty" basis and may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time. They are excluded from any service levels, support commitments and indemnities, and our total aggregate liability in connection with Beta Features is limited to AUD $100.

10. Liability Allocation

The limits below are standard for engagements of this kind and let us deliver the Services at sustainable pricing. They apply equally regardless of the legal theory of any claim (contract, tort, negligence, statute or otherwise).

10.1 Exclusions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings, reputation, or data, or for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential loss, in each case however arising and whether or not foreseeable. This does not limit: your obligation to pay fees and the other amounts the Agreement says are payable (including under §§4.6, 5.6, 8.4, 14.4 and 15.2); your indemnity in §11.1; or either party's liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, breach of confidentiality, or infringement or misuse of the other party's intellectual property.

10.2 Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Agreement is capped at the lesser of (a) AUD $10,000, or (b) the fees you paid to us for the Services giving rise to the claim in the 12 months preceding the event. This is a single cap across all claims, not per-claim.

10.3 Carve-outs. The cap/exclusions do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct, or liability that cannot be excluded under the ACL.

10.4 Mitigation & notice of claims. Each party must take reasonable steps to mitigate loss. A party that becomes aware of a matter likely to result in a claim should give the other reasonably prompt written notice and a fair opportunity to investigate and, where appropriate, remedy it. A delay in giving that notice reduces a claim only to the extent the delay caused material prejudice. The dispute process in §18 applies before non-urgent proceedings, but does not prevent urgent relief, recovery of an undisputed debt, a regulator complaint, or the exercise of a statutory right. The limitation period for a claim is the period provided by applicable law.

10.5 Single aggregate cap. The cap in §10.2 (and any sub-cap in §9 or elsewhere) applies in the aggregate across all claims, all causes of action, all theories of liability, all Services, all Orders, all Deliverables, all engagements (whether current, past or related) and all time periods. It is not per-claim, per-Order, per-Service, per-engagement or per-year, and is not increased by any sub-cap. Where multiple sub-caps apply, the lowest applicable sub-cap governs the relevant claim, within the overall cap.

10.6 No reliance & entire risk. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, statement, demonstration, marketing material, projection, case study, comparison page, social-media post, blog post, screenshot, video, podcast, conference talk, conversation, email, slide, illustrative output, prior client outcome, or AI-generated example, in entering into the Agreement, except as expressly set out in the Order. You are responsible for selecting the Services and for how you use them and their results. The pricing of the Services reflects this allocation of risk. Nothing in this clause excludes liability for misleading or deceptive conduct where the law does not allow it to be excluded.

11. Indemnities

11.1 Client indemnity. You indemnify YES AI, its Affiliates and their personnel against third-party claims, and the reasonable external costs of responding to them, to the extent caused by: (a) Client Data, content, configurations or instructions that infringe another person's rights or were collected, supplied or instructed for use unlawfully; (b) your material breach of the Agreement or applicable law; (c) claims by your customers, end users, employees, contractors or regulators relating to your products, services, content or compliance; (d) your unauthorised or unsafe use of the Services, including use in high-risk or regulated settings without appropriate human oversight or contrary to the Order; and (e) an act or omission of a User acting under your authority. The indemnity is reduced to the extent the claim was caused or increased by our breach, negligence, wilful misconduct or failure to mitigate, and it does not require payment of a fine or penalty to the extent indemnification would be unlawful. We will give you reasonably prompt notice, allow you to control the defence with competent advisers, and co-operate at your reasonable cost. You may not settle in a way that admits fault by us, imposes a non-monetary obligation on us, or fails to release us, without our prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).

11.2 Our IP indemnity. We will defend you from any third-party claim brought in an Australian court that a Deliverable (excluding Client Data, configurations made to your specification, Third-Party components, OSS, AI-generated outputs, anything modified after delivery, and anything used in combination with non-approved items) as delivered by us infringes a registered Australian patent, an Australian copyright, or a registered Australian trade mark, and pay final damages/settlements approved by us, provided you promptly notify us, give us sole control of the defence, and co-operate. If infringement is found or likely, we may (at our option) procure rights, modify to be non-infringing, or refund fees for the affected Deliverable less reasonable use. This is your sole and exclusive remedy for any infringement claim. Our liability under this clause is in any event subject to and within the cap in §10.2.

11.3 Client insurance & risk management. You will obtain and maintain, at your own cost and at all relevant times, all insurances appropriate to your business, your industry, the engagement and the risks you ask us to address, including (where applicable) public/general liability, employer's liability and workers' compensation, cyber-liability and data-breach response, professional indemnity, management liability, product liability, contents and business-interruption, and motor insurance, with reputable insurers, on standard terms, with prudent limits, and will provide certificates of currency for the policies relevant to the engagement on request. Where reasonable in light of the engagement (including any engagement involving access to your premises, systems, networks, customer data, marketing channels or financial systems), you will, on request, ask your insurer to note YES AI as an interested party and to waive subrogation in our favour, where your policy allows it at no material extra cost. You acknowledge that each party is responsible for arranging and maintaining its own insurances as it sees fit, that you must not rely on YES AI's insurances (if any), and that the cap in §10.2 applies regardless of insurance held by either party. You will operate appropriate risk-management practices for your own business (including, where relevant, business continuity, disaster recovery, data backups, change control, access management, fraud prevention, and human review of AI outputs).

12. Telecommunications, Marketing & Recording

12.1 Do Not Call and spam. You are solely responsible for ensuring agents/campaigns comply with the Do Not Call Register Act 2006, Spam Act 2003, and similar laws, including consent records and opt-out mechanisms.

12.2 Recording & monitoring. If call recording or analytics are enabled, you are responsible for providing notices and obtaining consents from all participants as required by law and policy. We will include a recording notice in the agent's greeting where you ask us to.

12.3 Not an emergency service. AI voice agents, phone answering and messaging Services are not an emergency service and must not be relied on to receive or relay emergency calls. Your callers should always be able to reach 000 directly. Where you want urgent calls handed to a person, you will give us a current transfer number or escalation contact and keep it staffed during the hours you set; we are not responsible for an urgent matter that could not be passed on because that number or contact was unavailable or out of date.

13. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

You must not use the Services to: (a) harass, deceive, exploit or harm individuals; (b) process children's data without verifiable parental consent; (c) process sensitive health information without lawful basis; (d) generate or disseminate illegal, infringing or misleading content; (e) infer, profile, or make decisions with legal/similar significant effects without appropriate transparency and human review; (f) publish a benchmark that knowingly uses a materially misleading method or result, falsely represents our performance, or discloses our Confidential Information - this does not restrict an honest review, a good-faith complaint, a protected disclosure, a regulator communication, legal evidence, or fair comparative testing that accurately explains its method and limitations; (g) attempt to gain unauthorised access or disrupt operations.

14. Term, Suspension & Termination

14.1 Term. The Agreement begins on acceptance and continues until terminated. Subscriptions auto-renew for successive periods equal to the initial term unless either party gives 30 days' notice before renewal. For a fixed term of 3 months or more, we will email your billing contact a reminder at least 45 days before the renewal date.

14.2 Convenience termination (subscriptions). Either party may end a month-to-month subscription by giving 30 days' notice, with no penalty; fees are payable up to the end of the notice period. Fixed-term Orders are non-cancellable unless stated otherwise.

14.3 For cause. Either party may terminate an Order by written notice if the other commits a material breach that can be fixed and does not fix it within 14 days after written notice describing it, or commits a material breach that cannot be fixed. An undisputed amount still unpaid 14 days after a notice under §5.5 is a material breach. We may also suspend the affected Services immediately, telling you as soon as practicable, where there is unlawful use or a serious risk to security, our operations or other people.

14.4 Effect. On termination, these become due: fees for Services performed and Deliverables completed up to termination; third-party costs already committed for the Order; and any amounts under §§4.6, 5.6 or 8.4. Fees for future periods do not become due, except as §5.6 provides. If we terminate for your material breach, you also pay the amounts described in §5.6 as if you had ended the Order for convenience (for an Order with a fixed project price, "remaining term" in §5.6 means the project fees not yet paid), with the same duty to mitigate, credits and cap, and without double recovery. On request, we will provide a standard export of Client Data per §7.6. Rights to use hosted Services end on termination, except as required by law. A paid-up licence to Deliverables under §6.2 continues after termination, unless it ends because you breached that licence.

14.5 Survival. Any provision that by its nature should survive termination will do so, including (without limitation) §§1.2-1.4, 2, 3.5-3.7, 4.2-4.4, 4.6, 5 (for amounts accrued, refunds, cost recovery), 6, 7, 8.3-8.4, 9-13, 14.4-14.5, 15-21, and Attachments A-B.

15. Publicity, Reference Use & Non-Solicitation

15.1 Reference use. We love celebrating customer success. Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may name you as a client, show your name and logo in client lists, proposals, pitch decks and on our website, and describe the work we did for you in general terms, including anonymised or aggregated results. Before we publish anything more detailed that identifies you (such as an attributed case study, a testimonial or quote from your team, or screenshots or recordings that show your business), we will send it to you first and use it only with your approval, which you will not unreasonably withhold or delay. Anything we publish will leave out your Confidential Information and personal information about your customers. The materials you approve, together with your name, logo and the general descriptions above, are "Reference Materials", and you give us a royalty-free licence to use them for our marketing, sales and reference activities in any medium. If you later ask us to stop, we will stop using your name, logo and Reference Materials in anything new within 30 days, and will update our website within that time; we do not need to recall materials already published, printed or distributed.

15.2 Non-solicitation of personnel. During an engagement and for 6 months after it ends, you will not knowingly and directly solicit for employment or engagement a YES AI employee or contractor with whom you had material direct contact through that engagement in the preceding 6 months, where the purpose is to cause that person to leave or materially reduce their work with us. This does not apply to a general advertisement not directed at our personnel, an unsolicited approach initiated by the person, a relationship or recruitment discussion that pre-dated the engagement, or a person whose engagement with us ended independently more than 3 months earlier. You may ask for our written consent, which we will not unreasonably withhold. If you engage someone in breach, you will reimburse our reasonable, documented external recruitment and transition costs and net disruption loss actually caused by the breach, subject to our duty to mitigate and capped at 15% of that person's annual base remuneration. This clause does not create an automatic liquidated sum or permit double recovery.

16. Compliance, Export & Sanctions

You represent that you and your end users are not subject to sanctions and will not use the Services contrary to export, sanctions, or trade laws. You must not allow access from embargoed countries or to prohibited parties.

17. Insurance

17.1 Each party self-insures its own risk. Each party is solely responsible for arranging, maintaining and paying for any and all insurance it considers appropriate for its business, the Services and the engagement. We make no representation or warranty that we hold, will hold, or will at any time procure any specific insurance, or any minimum cover, or any cover at all, in connection with the Services or any liability we may have to you, and you must not rely on the existence, scope, adequacy or continuity of any insurance we may hold.

17.2 Subrogation. Where §11.3 applies and your policies allow it, you will ask your insurers to waive rights of subrogation, contribution and recovery against YES AI, its Affiliates and personnel. The limits of liability and indemnities in this Agreement apply regardless of any insurance recoveries.

17.3 Bespoke cover at Client cost. If you require us to obtain, evidence or maintain particular insurance, endorsements or limits for your engagement, this must be specified in the Order; subject to availability and reasonableness, we may agree to do so on terms (including premiums, broker fees and admin uplifts) charged to you, or we may decline.

17.4 No expansion of liability. Nothing in this clause expands the limits of liability, indemnities, exclusions or sub-caps elsewhere in this Agreement.

18. Dispute Resolution

18.1 Good-faith escalation. Before litigation, senior executives will meet (virtually is fine) to seek resolution within 14 days of a dispute notice.

18.2 Mediation. If unresolved, either party may require mediation in Melbourne administered by the Resolution Institute; costs shared equally.

18.3 Court proceedings. Nothing prevents a party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief, or from commencing proceedings to recover undisputed amounts due.

19. General

19.1 Independent contractor. We are an independent contractor. No partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or agency relationship is created.

19.2 Assignment & subcontracting. We may subcontract parts of the Services (including to providers outside Australia, subject to §7.3) and we remain responsible for our subcontractors' performance. We may assign the Agreement in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of our business, and we may assign or transfer the right to receive amounts owed to us (for example to a financier or a collection agent) by notice to you. You may not assign without our written consent (not unreasonably withheld).

19.3 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform (other than an obligation to pay) due to events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, severe weather, pandemics or epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour action, governmental orders, embargoes or sanctions, cyber attacks, malware, denial-of-service events, internet, hosting, telecommunications or utility outages, and the failure, suspension, deprecation, rate-limiting, restriction or material change of any upstream cloud, model, telephony, payment, identity, transcription, AI or other third-party provider, API or service. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate, and may suspend affected portions of the Services for the duration of the event.

19.4 Notices. Legal notices must be sent by email to the addresses in the Order (or [email protected] for us) and are deemed received when sent unless a bounce-back is received. Notices to you may be sent to the project or billing contact named in the Order, or to the most recent replacement contact you have given us in writing, so please let us know promptly if a contact changes. Day-to-day project emails, including requests and reminders under §§4.6 and 8.4, may go to your nominated project contact.

19.5 Entire agreement & severability. The Agreement is the entire agreement and supersedes prior discussions. If any term is unenforceable, it is read down to the extent needed to make it enforceable and, if that is not possible, the affected words are severed; the remainder continues in effect.

19.6 Waiver. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed. No delay or failure to enforce operates as a waiver.

19.7 Governing law & venue. The Agreement is governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.

19.8 Interpretation. "Including" means including without limitation; headings are for convenience only.

19.9 Rights work together. The rights in §§4.6, 5.4 to 5.8 (including 5.5A), 6.3, 8.4 and 14 are in addition to each other and to rights available at law, but no amount will be recovered twice.

20. Purchase Orders, Supplier Portals & Online Access

(a) Purchase orders and supplier portals. We are happy to quote your PO number and to register in your supplier or invoicing portal so we can be paid. Doing so, including clicking "accept" on terms in that portal, does not add to or change the Agreement.

(b) Other terms. If you issue or link to other terms, these Terms prevail unless a signed agreement between us says otherwise.

(c) Online access. Access to any portal, model, API, or agent is provided under these Terms, as linked from Orders and invoices; using it means you and your Users accept them.

21. Sector-Specific Annexes (If Applicable)

The annexes below apply to engagements in the relevant sector and are in addition to (not instead of) the rest of these Terms. They reflect common sector-specific risks; we may agree additional or different terms in an Order.

Aged Care, Healthcare, Hospitals & Pharma. You will ensure compliance with the Aged Care Act, My Health Records Act, the Privacy Act and APPs (and any State health-records legislation), TGA and AHPRA requirements, professional codes of conduct, and applicable accreditation standards. You will implement human review for any clinical-adjacent use, ensure outputs are not relied upon for diagnosis, triage or treatment, and provide appropriate disclaimers to patients and residents.

Legal, Migration & Conveyancing. You will operate within your practising certificate and any MARA registration, supervise non-lawyer staff appropriately, and ensure all client-facing outputs are reviewed by a qualified practitioner.

AI outputs may be incorrect or misaligned with current case law and must be verified.

Financial Services, Mortgage Broking, Insurance & Accounting. You will hold all required licences and authorisations (AFSL/ACL, ASIC registration, FBAA/MFAA membership, TPB registration, professional body memberships) and comply with Best Interests Duty, NCCP, ASIC RG175/271, AFCA, AML/CTF (AUSTRAC), Privacy Act, Tax Practitioners Code of Professional Conduct, and the Code of Banking Practice as applicable.

Charity, Not-for-Profit & Social Enterprise. You will comply with ACNC governance and reporting standards, fundraising legislation in each State, deductible-gift-recipient rules, and any donor or grant conditions. Promotional or charity offers (including the VIC charity offer) are subject to §3.7 and to eligibility verification.

Government & Public Sector. Engagements with Australian, State, Territory and local government bodies are subject to the agency's procurement, security, privacy, and probity rules, which the agency must communicate to us in writing in advance. We do not accept "deemed" or implied compliance with agency policies that are not provided to us. The Services are not provided under any GovERP, ICT panel, or whole-of-government agreement unless explicitly stated.

Construction, Trades, Manufacturing, Mining, Agriculture & Industrial. You retain full and exclusive responsibility for work health and safety, fatigue management, plant operation, supply-chain integrity, environmental compliance, lawful subcontracting, security of payment compliance and any sector-specific licensing. The Services are not a control measure for any safety-critical hazard and must not be used as the sole basis for any decision affecting human, animal or environmental safety.

Hospitality, Food, Beverage & Retail. You will ensure marketing consent, menu/price accuracy, allergen, dietary and labelling disclosures, food-safety compliance, RSA where alcohol is served, and accuracy of any AI-generated or automated customer communications.

In addition: where Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, Critical Infrastructure obligations, APRA CPS 234, ISO/IEC 27001, Essential Eight, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ACSC, or sectoral cyber rules apply to your business, you remain solely responsible for compliance, breach notification, and regulator engagement; nothing we do or report on your behalf transfers, satisfies or evidences such compliance unless an explicit, signed addendum says so.
