The QR2id Service is the subject of ongoing improvement and may be expanded, reduced, or change in function from time to time without prior notice to you. Whilst Amtac attempts to maintain resilience and the availability of the QR2id Service, Amtac may for operational reasons need to suspend providing the QR2id Service without prior notice to you.

QR2id® Client responsibilities

The term "QR2id Client" includes any natural person or legal entity that enters into an explicit or implied contract with Amtac for the provision of the QR2id Service for themselves or another party.

The term "Material" may include, without limitation, computer files of any form, such as documents in various formats, images, illustrations, photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings.

As a QR2id Client you are responsible for and accept any consequences associated with your use of the QR2id Services, including (without limitation) as may arise from your obligation to maintain the currency and accuracy of the information or Material you wish to have displayed to the public where one of your QR2id Codes is scanned and/or accessed via the QR2id.com website and/or made available to authorised emergency services personnel via email in accordance with these Terms.

The intellectual property rights in any any information or Material you upload or display on or through the QR2id Service are retained by you or the authority under which you have transfered the material to the QR2id Website. By information or material on or through the QR2id Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such information and Material in any and all media or distribution methods and as otherwise governed by these Terms. In submitting information and uploading Material to the QR2id website, you agree to accept all liability for so doing and undertake to ensure that any information and/or files that you upload do not infringe the rights of any third party, and understand that any such infringement may subject you to personal liability. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any information and material that you add through the QR2id Service.

Offensive, Misleading or Harmful Content

As QR2id Clients are solely responsible for the content they chose to have displayed and/or available in relation to their QR2id Codes. Amtac does not monitor or control the information, Material or other content added by QR2id Clients and does not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any content or communications initiated via the QR2id Service.

By accessing or using the QR2id Service, you acknowledge and agree that you may be exposed to information and Material dispalyed by a QR2id Client that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, deceptive, or otherwise inappropriate. The information displayed or otherwise accessible through the use of a QR2id Code is nominated and maintained by the QR2id Client. Amtac accepts no liability whatsoever with respect to any person or entity using the QR2id Service and any use or reliance on any information or Materials obtained by you through the QR2id Services is at your own risk.

If you become aware of any offensive, harmful, inaccurate, deceptive, or otherwise inappropriate information or Material accessible directly via the QR2id Service or through links from the QR2id Service to external websites, please report it immediately to YWJ1c2VAUVIyaWQuY29t with all the details, including the QR2id Serial Number, as applicable.

Amtac reserves the right to temporarily or permanently cancel a QR2id Client's account and/or terminate or suspend the function of any QR2id Code where the use of a QR2id Code is deemed by Amtac to be associated in any way with information or Material that is suspected to be in contravention of a law, or considered to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, deceptive, or otherwise inappropriate.

Privacy

Any information that you provide to Amtac in respect of the QR2id Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of the QR2id Service you consent to the collection and use of this information, including the transfer of this information to Amtac's servers in Australia for storage, processing and use in the delivery of the QR2id Service.

By using the QR2id Service you grant to Amtac a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and/or release information or material submitted by you on your behalf to other individuals, companies or organisations who seek access to that information or material by scanning a QR2id Code or entering the Serial Number via the QR2id.com website. The licence that you grant includes the right to sublicense, use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such information and Material in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). Unless required by law, such display or release shall be in accordance with the settings you apply in your account as applicable to the aforementioned QR2id Code/Serial Number, or as may reasonably be required to ensure the safe and correct operation of the QR2id Service.
(i.e. the settings you apply will determine if and how any of the information or material you add to a QR2id Code will be displayed and/or accessible when that QR2id Code is scanned or decoded using the QR2id.com website, and the licence you grant to Amtac legally enables us to make available the information you nominate in the way you nominate.)

In agreeing to these Terms you understand that Amtac may modify or adapt your information or material in order to transmit, display or distribute it over computer networks and/or make changes to your submitted material as are necessary to conform and adapt that material to any requirements or limitations of any networks, devices, services or media.

Where you provide to Amtac any images, recordings, testimonials or feedback relating to your use of the QR2id Service, through any means such as email, web-form submissions, blog posts, Tweets, Facebook Posts or other means, you you grant to Amtac a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such Material for Amtac to promote the QR2id Service to other companies, organisations or individuals.

Where you use a coupon/voucher to purchase your QR2id Account, you agree that Amtac may display your name and email address to the applicable Fundraising Organisation and/or QR2id Partner in commission statements and routine reporting arrangements. In using the coupon/voucher, you agree that the related QR2id Partner and/or Fundraising Organisation may contact you to determine your stausfaction with the QR2id Service and/or in relation to their own products/services. If at any time you wish to be disassociated with your initial QR2id Partner, you may request this action be taken and at that time your name and email address will no longer be accessible to that Fundraising Organisation/QR2id Partner.

By using the QR2id Service you agree that you have sole responsibility for the actions taken under your name when a person is logged into your account using your username and password.

Disclaimer

Use of the QR2id Service is undertaken at your own risk. Amtac provides the QR2id Service on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis.

Users of the QR2id website should be aware that some web browsers may incorporate plug-ins or other malicious or "helper" software that inserts links and/or advertising into the pages of websites being visited. The actions of such software occur on the affected computer and not on the server, so are outside the control of Amtac. It is your responsibility to use current malware/virus detection and removal software to minimise your risk of being unknowingly impacted by such programs, and we strongly recommend that you avoid knowingly installing such applications. These programs intend that such links appear to be intentionally placed by the authors of the website, so users of QR2id.com should be alert to misleading hyperlinks or advertisements inserted by their browsers and check their computers regularly for malware.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Amtac shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, or any loss of data, function, goodwill or other intangible losses resulting from or in any way related to the use of the QR2id Service. In no event shall Amtac's aggregate liability exceed the greater amount of one hundred Australian dollars (AU$100.00) or the amount you paid Amtac in the preceding three (3) months in direct relationship to the QR2id Service and giving rise to the claim.

Applicable Juridiction

The application of Terms and any related legal action will be governed by the laws of the State of Queensland, Australia. Any claims, legal proceedings or litigation arising in connection with the QR2id Service will be brought solely in applicable courts within Queensland, and in using the QR2id Service you consent to these conditions and waive any objection related to jurisdiction.

Entire Agreement

Notwithstanding additional provisions within any separate agreement, such as may apply to QR2id Production Partners, Promotion Partners and Retail Partners, these Terms are the entire and exclusive agreement between Amtac and you regarding the QR2id Service, and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Amtac and you regarding the QR2id Service.
