10.4       Payments

There are Products available on the Data Shop to purchase on a Subscription basis and there are other Products available to purchase on payment of a Fee.  The payment type will be shown where you select the Product you wish to purchase.

a)              Subscription payment

To purchase a Subscription and keep your Subscription active, you must pay the Subscription Fee to CSIRO in advance. Your Subscription will renew automatically, and you will be responsible for recurring charges until you cancel your Subscription.

After the end of the first Subscription Period and each subsequent Subscription Period, CSIRO will automatically renew your Subscription and seek to invoice or charge your credit card/debit card the Subscription Fee (if a fee applies), unless you terminate or cancel your Subscription prior to the end of the Subscription Period. The renewal will occur on the same day of the calendar month in which you originally purchased your Subscription (or the last day of the calendar month if that month has less days than the original purchase month in the case of monthly subscriptions).

Payments are to be made through an invoice or by credit card/debit card and processed by an Australian bank. Any credit card details for recurring payments are done through the systems of that Australian bank and CSIRO will not store your credit card information on CSIRO’s computer systems.

You should ensure that the details of your credit/debit card remain accurate and up-to-date. You may change the details of your credit card/debit card by emailing acds@csiro.au to cancel your Subscription and then purchase a new Subscription with your new credit card/debit card and using your original account used to purchase the Product. CSIRO may block/suspend or terminate your access to the Product if any Subscription Fees are unpaid (whether in whole or in part).

A separate Subscription is required for each of your uses or products within which the Product is used.

b)             Subscription Cancellation

Subscriptions may be cancelled by emailing acds@csiro.au. Cancelling a Subscription means that no further payments will be taken after the current Subscription Period ends. Pro-rata refunds will not be given for the remaining amount of the Subscription Period. If a Subscription Period ends within 2 business days of a cancellation request then payment may be taken for the next Subscription Period. This will not be refundable.

 

c)         Fee Payments

To purchase a Product on payment of a Fee, you must pay the Fee to CSIRO in advance. Payments are to be made through an invoice or by credit card/debit card and processed by an Australian bank.  CSIRO will not store your credit card information on CSIRO’s computer systems.

Access to any updated version of the Product will usually require payment of a new Fee.

10.5       Taxes

You are responsible for any Taxes and must pay the Fee and/or Subscription Fee without any deduction/reduction, set-off or counterclaim for Taxes. If CSIRO is obligated to collect or pay Taxes, the Taxes will be charged to you, and are payable by you at the same time the Fee or Subscription Fee is due. You must comply with any and all applicable tax laws, including the reporting and payment of any Taxes arising in connection with your use of Data Shop or the purchase of a Subscription, Licensed Data or Products on or through Data Shop. The reporting and payment of any such applicable Taxes are your responsibility.

 

All prices include GST unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes will be presented at checkout before you place your order. Unless otherwise defined in this agreement, words or expressions used in this agreement which are defined in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) have the same meaning in this agreement. Where a supply made under or in connection with this agreement is a progressive or periodic supply, this clause applies to each component of the progressive or periodic supply as if it were a separate supply.

 

10.6       Audit and access

To enable CSIRO to verify compliance with the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms), you agree that CSIRO or its representative may, acting reasonably, conduct audits of your compliance with your obligations under the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms) including audits of its operational practices and procedures as they relate to the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms), audits of information or any material (recorded in any form) in the possession or control of you which are relevant to the Product, Data Service or Licensed Data or the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms) and any other matters determined by CSIRO to be relevant to the Products, Data Service or Licensed Data or the performance of the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms).

You will cooperate with an audit, including through providing access to your premises upon reasonable notice during usual business hours and permitting inspection and copying of any material relating to the Products, Data Service or Licensed Data or the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms).

CSIRO will use the information and material gathered in an audit to assess your compliance with the Terms (including these Additional Product Terms).

Without limiting CSIRO’s remedies at law, where an audit identifies any non-compliance, CSIRO may direct you to take any action to rectify the non-compliance and you will reimburse CSIRO for its costs associated with such audit.
