If another user of the Market breaches any obligation to you, you alone - not Hyvio - are solely responsible for enforcing any rights that you may have against that user including circumstances where a Channel Owner does not provide the content it has offered to provide as part of a subscription service.

Pricing and GST

Sellers will set the prices of their goods and services, including content services. Hyvio does not determine the pricing of Channel Owners' goods and services. Hyvio will issue invoices on behalf of Sellers.

A Seller's listed prices must be inclusive of GST, VAT and other taxes. Sellers who are required to charge GST for their products and services must not add an additional amount on top of the selling price on account of GST. The price is considered inclusive of GST.

Payment

Payment for goods and services sold must be made through your account and may be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and PayPal. Hyvio does not store any Buyer credit card details.

We may request - and you hereby authorise such request - that PayPal restrict access to funds in a Seller's PayPal account regarding particular issues such as selling history, Seller performance, returns, risk associated with product category or the commencement of legal proceedings. You acknowledge and agree that this may result in PayPal determining to restrict funds in a Seller's PayPal account.

Billing

When you register to use the Market, you authorize us on behalf of Channel Owners to bill your payment method on file at our then-current fee plus any applicable taxes or fees for as long as you remain a subscriber.

You will be charged in Australian dollars (AUD) and we do not take any responsibility for any additional currency conversion, credit card or transaction fees you may incur from your financial institution.

We reserve the right to change our fee/s at any time, but no price change will go into effect until we have given you notice of the change.

Where you purchase a subscription content service from a Channel Owner which gives you access to a service for a period of time, your billing date will depend on when you sign up for subscription service, and you will be billed based on that date (or the closest business day). Your billing date may change due to changes in your subscription.

If we are unable to charge your billing method for any reason, such as an expired credit card or insufficient funds, we may continue trying to bill your payment method. Your billing date may change if your payment method settles after your originally scheduled billing date. If we are unable to charge your payment method, we may, in our discretion, choose to deactivate, suspend or cancel your account. If this happens, we will contact you to advise. To ensure that a subscription service continues uninterrupted, please make sure your payment method on file is valid and up to date.

We may charge you a reasonable fee if your billing details are incorrect or if there are insufficient funds in your account.

Cancellations and Refunds

To protect Sellers, if you purchase an annual subscription on one of our channels, you will have twenty fours (24) hours after your purchase to cancel and receive a refund. All refunds will be net of any costs incurred in the refunding of monies including, without limitation, credit card costs, commissions and exchange rate variations.

Users who purchase monthly subscriptions will have twenty four (24) hours after purchase to cancel and receive a full refund. After the cancelation period ends, all purchases are final and all fees paid are non-refundable, even if your account is later terminated by Hyvio. If your account is terminated due to your breach of the Market Terms during the relevant cancelation period, you will not be refunded. If you have questions, please contact us.

Renewals of Subscriptions

Subject to the Market Terms, you may choose to renew your subscription at the end of a subscription period. By default, all subscriptions are set to automatically renew for the same period of time as the original subscription. You may decline to renew at any time prior to the commencement of a renewal subscription. Channel Owners reserve the right to deny subscriptions, renewals, and other purchases for any reason.

End of Subscription

When a channel subscription ends, your Hyvio account will remain active and you will no longer have access to the subscribed service from the Channel Owner.

Tax

You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with your transactions on the Market. It is a Seller's obligation to ensure that they are meeting all obligations with respect to GST

This Privacy Policy sets out the approach that the Sodalite Media Pty Ltd ACN 606 874 051 Trading As Hyvio and its Related Bodies Corporate (together Hyvio) will take in relation to the treatment of personal information. It includes information on how Hyvio collects, uses, discloses and keeps secure individuals' personal information. It also covers how Hyvio makes the personal information it holds available for access to and correction by the individual. This policy has been drafted having regard to Hyvio's obligations under the Telecommunications Act 1997 and the Privacy Act 1988 as amended from time to time (including the National Privacy Principles or Australian Privacy Principles as applicable) (the Privacy Act). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personal information" has the same meaning as given in the Privacy Act.

1. COLLECTION

1.1 Hyvio will only collect personal information where Hyvio considers that the information is necessary for Hyvio to perform one or more of its functions or activities. In this context, "collect" means to gather, acquire or obtain by any means information for the purpose of recording it.

(ii) supply customers with the products and services ordered from it and related companies;

(iii) provide a market platform on which channel owners may sell products and services (including content services) to users of Hyvio's service (respectively called Sellers and Buyers in the Market Terms );

Hyvio also collects and uses personal information for secondary purposes, including:

(iv) billing and account management;

(vi) to provide individuals with information about promotions, as well as additional products and services, and the products and services of other Hyvio companies and other organisations; and

(vii) research and reporting in connection with users use of Hyvio's services and transactions relating to Hyvio's services.

The type of information collected will depend on the goods or services Hyvio is asked to provide, and may include, without limitation, names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, gender, date of birth, age-group, personal interests and records of your correspondence with us. Hyvio will collect such information if you elect to create a Hyvio Account.

Other examples of when Hyvio may collect personal information are:

• when an individual completes the 'mandatory fields', which will enable your specific request to be processed; and
• When a purchase is made via Hyvio

Hyvio may collect data relating to internet traffic activity undertaken via its products and services using tracking technologies such as cookies. Hyvio generally uses this information to report statistics, analyse trends, administer its services, diagnose problems and target and improve the quality of our products and services. To the extent this information does not constitute personal information, the Privacy Act does not apply and Hyvio may use this information for any purpose and by any means whatsoever. To the extent that such information does constitute personal information, Hyvio will store and disclose that information in accordance with this privacy policy.

1.3 From time to time, Hyvio may also receive information relating to you that we have not requested (Unsolicited Information). In the event that Hyvio does receive Unsolicited Information, we will check whether it is reasonably necessary for us to keep it. If it is, we will treat the Unsolicited Information in the same way as other personal information that we requested you provide to us. If Hyvio determines that it is not reasonably necessary for us to keep it, we will, as soon as practicable, destroy or de-identify the relevant Unsolicited Information.

1.4 Unless it is obvious in the circumstances, Hyvio will notify individuals (including, but not limited to, our users) of the matters listed below, amongst other things, before collecting any personal information:

(i) the main reason that we are collecting Personal information (this reason will be the Primary Purpose);

(ii) other related uses or disclosures that we may make of the Personal information (Secondary Purposes);

(iii) our identity and how individuals can contact us;

(iv) that individuals can access the personal information that Hyvio holds about them;

(v) that individuals should contact us (even if they are not a customer) if they wish to access or correct personal information collected by us, or have any concerns in relation to personal information;

(vi) where applicable, any law that requires the personal information to be collected (for example, information that is required to be collected for the Integrated Public Number Database, which is used by directory publishers);

(vii) the consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the personal information is not provided to Hyvio ;

(viii) if Hyvio is likely to disclose the personal information to overseas recipients,

the information listed above is collectively the Collection Information.

1.5 Hyvio will use reasonable endeavours to provide you with the Collection Information when it receives Unsolicited Information.

1.6 Where it is not practicable for Hyvio to notify individuals of all of the Collection Information before the collection of personal information, Hyvio will ensure that individuals are notified of the Collection Information as soon as possible after the collection. Hyvio will provide "post collection notification" in those circumstances where it is not practicable to notify individuals about the collection of their personal information before it is collected.

1.7 Hyvio will not collect Sensitive Information from individuals except with consent and only where it is necessary for Hyvio to collect such information for an activity or function.

1.8 Hyvio will only collect personal information via lawful and fair means.

1.9 While Hyvio endeavours to collect personal information from the individual involved, in some instances it may also receive personal information from third parties.

In the unlikely event where Hyvio receives, (and retains) or uses personal information from third parties, it will attempt to contact the individual and advise that it holds this information.

2. STORAGE AND USE

2.1 Hyvio may hold your personal information in electronic or hard copy form or both. Unless we are required by law or court or tribunal order to retain your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it once we no longer need it.

2.2 From time to time, Hyvio may also need to transfer your information overseas. For example, we may store your personal information in a cloud, or other type of networking electronic storage which is based in a jurisdiction outside Australia. If we do this, Hyvio will ensure reasonable steps are taken so that the overseas recipient does not breach the Privacy Act or the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information, or adheres to laws substantially similar to Australian privacy laws. Hyvio will also take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised access and reduce the risk of disclosure to unknown entities.

2.3 Hyvio will obtain an individual's consent for use of non-sensitive personal information for Secondary Purposes at the time of collection, unless the use is a related Secondary Purpose that would be within the relevant individual's reasonable expectations.

2.5 Where personal information (other than sensitive information) is used for Direct Marketing, you can opt out of receiving this information at any time by notifying us.

2.7 Hyvio may otherwise use your personal information as permitted by law. For example, if we are legally required to do so (such as pursuant to a court or tribunal order or under taxation laws), if there is a serious threat to an individual's health or safety, there is reasonable suspicion of unlawful activity, for the conduct of surveillance and intelligence gathering by an enforcement body, or to assist in locating a missing person.

2.8 Hyvio will not use personal information without taking reasonable steps to ensure that the information is accurate, complete and up to date.

3. DISCLOSURE

3.1 Hyvio may disclose personal information to related or unrelated third parties if consent has been obtained from the individual or it is otherwise permitted to do so by law. For example, Hyvio may disclose personal information to law enforcement agencies, government agencies, courts or external advisers or to avoid an imminent threat to a person's life or to public safety.

3.2 Hyvio may disclose personal information between Related Bodies Corporate. Where information is disclosed to such a Related Body Corporate, that Related Body Corporate is bound by the original Primary Purpose for which the information was collected.

3.3 Hyvio may disclose personal information to unrelated third parties to enable outsourcing of functions (such as billing), where that is disclosure or use for a related secondary purpose and individuals have been notified, or where such disclosure is within the individual's reasonable expectations. Individuals will be notified of Hyvio 's usual disclosures via the Collection Information.

3.4 Hyvio will take all reasonable steps to ensure that its contracts with third parties include requirements for third parties to comply with the use and disclosure requirements of the Privacy Act.

3.5 If a disclosure is not for a Primary Purpose; is not for a related Secondary Purpose; or upfront consent has not been obtained, Hyvio will not disclose personal information otherwise than in accordance with the exceptions set out in paragraph 3.1 above.

3.6 Hyvio does not generally sell or share its customer lists on a commercial basis with third parties but if it did, it would only do so if it had the appropriate consent of the individual involved. If the consent provided is conditional, Hyvio will take steps to ensure (by contract) that the use of its customer list by third parties does not exceed the scope of the consent.
