Last updated: November 7, 2023
To avoid any confusion or doubt: These terms & conditions solely apply to SkyKick Partners based in Australia.

If Partner Australia wishes to use the Services for its own account, it must place an Order naming itself as the Customer and its use of the Services in that capacity will be subject to the Customer Terms & Conditions Australia and other terms and conditions applicable to Customers.
2.8 Distributor Relationship. If Partner Australia accesses and uses the Partner Portal pursuant to its relationship with a SkyKick-approved third-party distributor (“Approved Distributor”), Partner Australia acknowledges that the terms and conditions of SkyKick’s applicable agreement with such Approved Distributor (“Distributor Agreement”) may establish a different order process or different payment terms than those set out in the Agreement. To the extent of any conflict between Section 3 (Order Process; Partner Portal) and Section 4 (Fees; Payment) of the Agreement and any Distributor Agreement, the terms of such Distributor Agreement will govern. Partner Australia is responsible for contacting its Approved Distributor to obtain any information about any conflicting Order Process, Partner Portal, Fees or Payment before placing any Orders and with any questions regarding the Order Process and payment terms, including pricing applicable to its use of the Partner Portal. PARTNER AUSTRALIA (RATHER THAN SKYKICK) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE INVOICING, BILLING, COLLECTION, PAYMENT OR NON-PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNTS PAID OR OWED AS BETWEEN ANY APPROVED DISTRIBUTOR AND PARTNER AUSTRALIA UNDER THE DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTNER AUSTRALIA AND ANY APPROVED DISTRIBUTOR.
3. Order Process; Partner Portal.
3.1 Registration; Partner Portal. SkyKick will provide Partner Australia with an account granting Partner Australia access to and use of the Partner Portal. Partner Australia is responsible for establishing credentials for each of its Users, maintaining the confidentiality of all account credentials and passwords, and for all activities that occur under Partner Australia’s account. During the registration process for the Partner Portal, Partner Australia will provide certain information, including contact information, business qualifications (if applicable) and any other information required by SkyKick (“Portal Data”). Partner Australia represents and warrants that (i) all information provided by it during the registration process is accurate and complete; and (ii) if registering on behalf of an entity or organization, Partner Australia is an authorized representative of such entity or organization with the authority to legally bind such entity or organization to the Agreement. IF SKYKICK REASONABLY DETERMINES THAT PARTNER AUSTRALIA HAS KNOWINGLY PROVIDED FALSE, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE INACCURATE INFORMATION TO SKYKICK WHICH SKYKICK HAS ASSESSED HAS AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON SKYKICK OR WHICH, IF KNOWN BY SKYKICK, SKYKICK WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT OR CONTINUED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PARTNER AUSTRALIA, SKYKICK MAY TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT IMMEDIATELY UPON REASONABLE NOTICE TO PARTNER AUSTRALIA AND PARTNER AUSTRALIA SHALL CEASE HOLDING ITSELF OUT AS A PARTNER AUSTRALIA OF THE SERVICES.
3.2 Orders. From time to time during the Term, Partner Australia may order Services from SkyKick for its use for the benefit of its customers, or on behalf of the Customers by submitting an Order via the Partner Portal or SkyKick API. Any Orders received from Partner Australia by SkyKick shall be deemed to have been authorized by both Partner Australia and the Customer. Such Order will include all required information to enable SkyKick to perform the Services for the Customer as set forth in the Partner Portal.
3.3 Information. Partner Australia is responsible for providing complete and accurate information to SkyKick with respect to all Customers in order for SkyKick to make the Services available such Customers. Partner Australia acknowledges that SkyKick will have access to all of the data and information provided by Partner Australia and the Customers. Failure to provide accurate and complete information about the Customer or Services required by the Customer, may result in a delay in SkyKick’s performance or cancellation of an Order if SkyKick later reasonably determines that it is unable to provide the Services requested for such reason.
4. Fees; Payment.
4.1 Fees. Partner Australia will pay SkyKick the fees for the Services in the amounts set out in the Order (“Fees”). Partner Australia acknowledges that SkyKick’s provision of the Services, and rates set out in the Order for the Services, are subject to changes in the industry (such as industry best practices or new technology and processes), changes in applicable law (including applicable industry codes, rules, standards and regulations), SkyKick’s ordinary operations and processes and the costs of third party suppliers and service providers incurred by SkyKick in providing the Services and acknowledges that SkyKick may not have control or foreseeability of these matters. PARTNER AUSTRALIA AGREES THAT SKYKICK MAY MODIFY THE FEES ON REASONABLE ADVANCE NOTICE FOR ANY SERVICES FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE IT IS REASONABLE FOR SKYKICK TO DO SO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUSTOMER TERMS & CONDITIONS AUSTRALIA. The then-current Fees for the Services will be made available on the Partner Portal. Partner shall have full discretion to set its own prices for the sale of its own services to Customers.
4.2 Invoice Terms. Each Service is subject to a different invoicing schedule, as described in the applicable Order. Except as otherwise set out in an applicable Order, all Fees for Partner Australia’s or Customer’s purchase of Services shall be due and payable at the time Partner Australia receives an invoice in accordance with the relevant schedule from SkyKick and the applicable payment term has expired. Notwithstanding the invoicing schedule, Partner Australia is obliged to pay all Fees upon submission of the Order. Partner Australia acknowledges that, upon placement of an Order by Partner Australia, SkyKick will commence processing the Order internally and expend efforts, allocate resources and/or incur costs and expenses to fulfil such Order. ACCORDINGLY, WHERE AN ORDER IS CANCELLED BY PARTNER AUSTRALIA PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION AND/OR END OF THE ORDER, AND EXCEPT WHERE PARTNER AUSTRALIA HAS CANCELLED THE ORDER DUE TO THE BREACH, MISTAKE, FRAUD, NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF SKYKICK OR ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS OR EXCEPT WHERE SKYKICK IS OBLIGED TO REFUND THE FEES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR UNDER THE CUSTOMER TERMS AND CONDITIONS AUSTRALIA, PARTNER AUSTRALIA WILL STILL BE OBLIGED TO PAY THE FEES FOR THAT ORDER TO SKYKICK AND ANY FEES ALREADY PAID BY PARTNER AUSTRALIA TO SKYKICK FOR THAT ORDER ARE NOT REFUNDABLE. In the event of any early termination of an Order or the Agreement, Partner Australia will pay all outstanding amounts due and payable in respect of that Order immediately upon the effective date of termination.
4.3 Payment Card Terms. Except as otherwise set out in an applicable Order, Partner Australia will pay SkyKick any subscription-based Fees via Partner Australia’s credit or debit card (“Payment Card”) and will be charged on the date each invoice is issued by SkyKick in accordance with the relevant schedule. By providing SkyKick with Payment Card information (including account number, expiration date, card verification code, and billing address), Partner Australia authorizes SkyKick to charge such Payment Card for all subscription-based Fees that are due and payable. SkyKick will initiate periodic charges to such Payment Card for all subscription-based Fees incurred during the Term. Partner Australia’s authorization of such recurring charges will remain effective for the duration of the Term, unless Partner Australia notifies SkyKick in writing that Partner Australia revokes such consent via the Partner Portal. PARTNER AUSTRALIA IS NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE ITS PAYMENT PREFERENCES WITHOUT SKYKICK’S PRIOR ACCEPTANCE (SUCH CONSENT NOT TO BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD). Partner Australia can submit a request to change its payment preferences via the Partner Portal. Partner Australia further authorizes SkyKick to receive updated Payment Card account information from the issuer of the Payment Card. For all other forms of payment, payment is due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date or under payment terms set by Approved Distributor.
4.4 Disputed Invoices. If Partner Australia in good faith disputes any portion of an invoice, Partner Australia shall pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and submit written notice to SkyKick regarding the disputed amount, which shall include documentation supporting the alleged billing error or other reason for the dispute (each such notice, a “Fee Dispute Notice”). Fee Dispute Notices must be submitted to SkyKick within thirty (30) days from the date the invoice at issue is received by Partner Australia or the date that Partner Australia first becomes aware of the billing error or other reason for the dispute. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PARTNER AUSTRALIA WAIVES THE RIGHT TO DISPUTE ANY FEES NOT DISPUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCESS SET OUT IN THIS SECTION 4.4. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such disputes within sixty (60) days after Partner Australia’s delivery of the applicable Fee Dispute Notice.
4.5 Purchase Orders. In the event that Partner Australia requires a purchase order in order to pay invoices, it is Partner Australia’s responsibility to input the purchase order number together with each Order and update the purchase order information as necessary. Partner Australia will submit any updated purchase order number at least five (5) business days in advance of the scheduled invoice date. Partner Australia will be responsible to pay all Fees based on the Services ordered or consumed, regardless of any omission, error or conflicting information in purchase order
4.6 Collection of Delinquent Accounts and Interest Payable or Overdues. Any amount not paid when due shall incur interest at the rate of 3% per month. In the event SkyKick incurs any costs (including reasonable collections agency fees, attorneys’ fees, and court costs) from efforts collecting overdue amounts from Partner Australia, Partner Australia agrees to reimburse such costs promptly upon demand in addition to payment of interest. IF ANY AMOUNT REMAINS UNPAID FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER SKYKICK INFORMS PARTNER AUSTRALIA IN WRITING OF THE DELINQUENCY, SKYKICK MAY SUSPEND ALL SERVICES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO THE PARTNER PORTAL, UNTIL ALL AMOUNTS DUE ARE PAID IN FULL. Partner Australia acknowledges that SkyKick has the additional right to take direct action against Customers for delinquent payment by Partner Australia of Fees that are due and payable from Partner Australia to SkyKick arising out of the Services provided to such customer.
4.7 Taxes. All amounts payable are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including GST and applicable goods and services, value added or sales tax. Partner Australia will provide SkyKick with any information requested by SkyKick to determine whether SkyKick is obligated to collect such taxes from Partner Australia, including Partner Australia’s tax identification number. If Partner Australia is legally entitled to an exemption from any sales, use, goods and services or value added or similar transaction tax, Partner Australia is responsible for providing SkyKick with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction. SkyKick will apply the tax exemption certificates to charges under Partner Australia’s account occurring after the date SkyKick receives the tax exemption certificates. If any deduction or withholding is required by applicable law to be made by Partner Australia from amounts payable to SkyKick, Partner Australia will notify SkyKick and will pay SkyKick any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that SkyKick receives, after any deduction and withholding has been made by Partner Australia, equals the amount SkyKick would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, Partner Australia will provide SkyKick with documentation showing that the withheld and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority. Unless expressed to the contrary in the Agreement, all prices and amounts (including any monetary or non-monetary consideration required to be provided under this agreement) are exclusive of GST. If GST is payable in respect of a supply made under or in relation to this agreement, the recipient must pay to the supplier an amount (“GST Amount”) equal to the GST payable on the supply. The GST Amount is payable by the recipient in addition to and at the same time as any consideration for the supply, provided the supplier has given the recipient a tax invoice. Without limiting the prior sentence, if a party (“payer”) is required to reimburse another party (“payee”) for a cost (e.g., if the payer is obliged to pay the payee’s legal costs), or a payer is obliged to make a payment to a payee under an indemnity, the reimbursement or indemnity is for the payee’s cost inclusive of GST but excludes any GST component of the cost for which the payee is entitled to claim an input tax credit. If an adjustment event arises in respect of a taxable supply, the GST Amount payable by a recipient will be recalculated to reflect the adjustment event and a payment will be made by the recipient to the supplier, or by the supplier to the recipient, as the case requires. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, (a) terms used in this Section 4.7 have the meanings given to those terms by the GST Act; (b) a reference to a liability of a Party to pay GST or an entitlement of a Party to input tax credits includes a reference to GST payable by, or an input tax credit entitlement of, the representative member of a GST group to which that party is a member; (c) where required to give practical effect to this Section 4.7, a recipient includes any Party to the Agreement that is required to provide consideration and a supplier includes any party to whom consideration must be provided (even if there is never any supply); (d) any part of a supply that is treated as a separate supply for GST purposes (including attributing GST payable to tax periods) is treated as if it were a separate supply; and (e) this Section 4.7 is subject to any other specific agreement regarding the payment of GST on supplies. “GST” has the meaning given by section 195-1 of the GST Act or any replacement or other relevant legislation and regulations. “GST Act” means A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (as amended).
4.8 Audit. During the Term, SkyKick will have the right to audit the records of Partner Australia relating to Partner Australia’s sale of the Services to Customers to ensure that Partner Australia is compliant with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the calculation of Fees in accordance with this Section 4.
5. Usage Data; Confidentiality; Security; Support and Data Protection.
5.1 Usage Data. SkyKick may collect, generate, use and store anonymous or aggregate information regarding use of the Services (“Usage Data”) solely for SkyKick’s business purposes (including, but not limited to, billing, enhancing the Services and creating new features, functionality and services). As between SkyKick and Partner Australia, SkyKick is the sole owner of the Usage Data.
5.2 Data Protection. SkyKick will meet its obligations under the Data Protection Laws that apply to the Services and their provision by SkyKick. The Parties agree to the comply with the SkyKick Data Processing Addendum and applicable Data Protection Law. As between SkyKick and the Customer, SkyKick is a “processor” (being the Person who Processes Personal Information for a data controller) and Customer is the “controller” (being the Person who determines the purpose and means of Processing Personal Information). As between SkyKick and the Partner Australia, SkyKick is a controller. In case SkyKick receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination to where SkyKick has disclosed Customer Personal Information, SkyKick agrees to review the legality of the request for disclosure, in particular whether it remains within the powers granted to the requesting public authority, and to challenge the request if, after a careful assessment, SkyKick concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful under the laws of the country of destination, applicable obligations under international law, or conventional international principles.
5.3 Confidentiality. Without limiting anything in Section 5.2, each Party will, during the Term and after it maintain in confidence the Confidential Information of the other Party and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in the Agreement. Each Party will use the same degree of care in protecting such Confidential Information as such Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than reasonable care. Each Party will use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of carrying out its respective obligations under the Agreement, or in connection with the Services. In addition, each Party: (a) will not reproduce such Confidential Information, in any form, except as required to accomplish its obligations or exercise its rights under the Agreement; and (b) will only disclose such Confidential Information to its employees, consultants and third-party service providers who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform their duties relating to the Agreement and who have been informed of the obligation to preserve the confidentiality of such information prior to receiving such information. Confidential Information will be the property of the disclosing Party during the Term and afterwards in perpetuity, subject only to the exceptions expressly stated in the Agreement.
5.4 Security. SkyKick is responsible for the security of SkyKick’s IT systems. During the Term, SkyKick shall implement and maintain security safeguards as it deems reasonably necessary to account for (i) material changes to relevant technology or systems; or (ii) the discovery of a material privacy or security vulnerability or weakness.

Save to the extent required to enforce Partner Australia’s own legal rights under applicable law, Partner Australia will not take or encourage any action during or after the Term that will infringe any rights of SkyKick or its licensors in and to the SkyKick Platform, any proprietary software or technology of SkyKick, or any Intellectual Property Rights in and to any of the foregoing.

Partner Australia will not (and will not attempt to) exceed 10,000 (ten thousand) end-point requests per day through the SkyKick API under the Agreement, or circumvent (or attempt to circumvent) such limitations on use of the SkyKick API (“Rate Limits”), or otherwise use, in SkyKick’s reasonable opinion, the SkyKick API in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume or which reasonably constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with any part of the Agreement.

13. General Provisions.
13.1 Entire Agreement. Except where expressly agreed otherwise in writing between the Parties, the Agreement and any other terms and conditions referenced in the Agreement and provided to Partner Australia or Customer in accordance with the Agreement (collectively, “Additional Policies”) are the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, superseding all other agreements between them, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter hereof.
13.2 Governing Law; Venue; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. As SkyKick is an international company doing business in multiple jurisdictions, it has a legitimate business interest in not dealing with claims in multiple countries with different substantive and procedural laws. Accordingly, except where this would not be reasonably necessary to protect such interests, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE FILED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyKick has the right, at its sole discretion, to bring any claim against the Partner Australia in the court of the Partner Australia’s or Customer’s place of establishment. Despite the foregoing, Partner Australia agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for SkyKick in the event of a breach or threatened breach of a provision of this Agreement protecting SkyKick’s Intellectual Property Rights or SkyKick’s Confidential Information, and that in the event of such a breach or threat, SkyKick, in addition to any other remedies to which it is entitled, is entitled to such preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting Partner Australia from taking actions in breach of such provisions), without the need for posting bond, and specific performance as may be appropriate. The Parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, nor the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) shall apply to this Agreement, regardless of the states in which the parties do business or are incorporated. SkyKick has an additional right to bring any claim against the Partner Australia in the court of the Partner Australia’s or Customer’s place of establishment where it is not reasonably practicable for SkyKick to bring such claim in the State of Washington or where SkyKick requires urgent or injunctive relief against the Partner Australia. Partner Australia agrees that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for SkyKick for breach or threatened breach of SkyKick’s Intellectual Property Rights or SkyKick’s Confidential Information and SkyKick is entitled to seek preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting Partner Australia from taking actions in breach of such) and specific performance. The Parties agree that there are no uniform contracting rules (as set out in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the United States of America’s Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA)) applying to the Agreement.
13.3 Assignment. Neither the Agreement nor any right or duty under the Agreement may be transferred, assigned or delegated by Partner Australia by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of SkyKick (not to be unreasonably withheld), and any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect. SkyKick may assign or novate the Agreement and any right or duty under the Agreement to an affiliate or other Person including by operation of law, change of control, merger, reorganization, or sale of stock or all or substantially all of SkyKick’s assets on prior notice of Partner Australia provided that the Person to whom it is assigned agrees to perform all obligations under the Agreement and has sufficient financial capacity to perform its obligations under the Agreement (in which case Partner Australia must undertake all actions SkyKick reasonably requests to effect that assignment or novation, including signing any required documentation. The Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
13.4 Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will, for any purpose, be or be deemed to be an employee, representative, owner, franchisee or partner of the other Party and, the relationship between the Parties will only be that of independent contractors and Partner Australia acting as an agent for SkyKick who is the principal. Neither Party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other Party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
13.5 References. Neither Party may disclose the specific terms of the Agreement or issue a public statement or press release regarding the Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party. SkyKick may during the Term identify Partner Australia as a partner or user of the Services and display Partner Australia’s logo and/or other branding materials on SkyKick’s website and other marketing materials.
13.6 Nonwaiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of the Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under the Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such Party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance rather, the same will remain in full force and effect.
13.7 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of the Agreement will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon any determination that a provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated under the Agreement are fulfilled.
13.8 Notice. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, any notice, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of the Agreement will be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes if: (a) delivered personally; (b) deposited with a pre-paid messenger, express or air courier or similar courier; or (c) transmitted by email or other communication equipment that transmits the notice to like equipment that receives and reproduces such notice. Notices will be addressed to a Party (or, in the case of Customer, to the Partner Australia) at the address or email address as set forth in an applicable Order provided by Partner Australia in the Partner Portal or to SkyKick at 200 W Thomas St #400, Seattle, WA 98119, United States or contracts@skykick.com.

A Party may change its contact information by notice in accordance with this Section 13.8 or using tools available via the Partner Portal.
13.9 Force Majeure. Except for any payment obligations under the Agreement, in the event that a Party is delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations under the Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, its performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform to the extent only due to such occurrence. The delayed Party will endeavor to: (a) provide the other Party with prompt notice of the nature and expected duration of the event, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to address and mitigate the cause and effect of such event, (c) provide periodic notice of relevant developments, and (d) provide notice of the end of such event.
13.10 Modifications to the SkyKick Partner Terms & Conditions Australia and other changes. Except for the types of changes set out in this Section 13.10 or Sections 4.1 (Fees), 8.4 (Updates), or 9.7 (Changes to Services), the Agreement may only be varied by written agreement. Partner Australia acknowledges that SkyKick’s provision of the Services, the rates for Fees for the Services and the terms of the Agreement are subject to changes in the industry (such as industry best practices or new technology and processes), changes in applicable law (including applicable industry codes, rules, standards and regulations), SkyKick’s ordinary operations and processes (such as new services, products, functions and features) and the actions of third party suppliers and service providers engaged by SkyKick in connection with the Services and SkyKick may not have control or foreseeability of these matters. In addition to the changes that may be made by SkyKick in accordance with Sections 4.1 (Fees), 8.4 (Updates), or 9.7 (Changes to Services), SKYKICK MAY CHANGE THESE SKYKICK PARTNER TERMS & CONDITIONS AUSTRALIA, THE SERVICES, THE SKYKICK PLATFORM, THE SKYKICK POLICIES, THE RATES FOR FEES AND SKYKICK’S OPERATIONS AND PROCESSES, OTHER SERVICES, PRODUCTS, FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES OR THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ENGAGED BY SKYKICK IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. When making such changes, SkyKick will act reasonably, including giving Partner Australia reasonable advance notice of the changes to the extent it is reasonably practicable to do so. SkyKick may give Partner Australia shorter advance notice (or no notice) of a change if it is reasonable in order for SkyKick to manage a material and immediate risk or issue. SkyKick may modify, limit, suspend or cancel the relevant Services to the extent necessary to protect its legitimate business interests and will give Partner Australia as much notice as reasonably practicable in the circumstances. For changes where SkyKick decide, or are required, to exit a Service from the market (or part of the market), SkyKick will give Partner Australia prior reasonable notice and inform Partner Australia of the potential impacts and cancel the Service.
Partner Australia acknowledges and agrees that SkyKick may provide its notices of changes under this section by notifying in writing or posting the details on the SkyKick site or Partner Portal. Partner Australia may accept such change through the SkyKick provided mechanism for the acceptance such as a click-through confirmation or acceptance button.

13.12 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of the Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Agreement or at law.

Schedule 1 – Support
1. Technical Support
SkyKick provides 3rd line product support to Partner Australia, and to Partner Australia only. Support will be provided via the SkyKick support global telephone system or via email: support@skykick.com, during the business hours and via the telephone numbers as outlined on its website.
Partner Australia agrees that any first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) line support for its Customers shall be handled by the Partner Australia support organization. Only if Partner Australia is unable to resolve support issues from its Customers, and Partner Australia has reasonable grounds to believe that a particular support incident is in relation to the SkyKick Services, Partner Australia may contact SkyKick support (see contact details above).
Once a support request has been received SkyKick will acknowledge receipt. Once Partner Australia has informed SkyKick of all information SkyKick has requested in relation to the support request SkyKick will endeavor to respond within the applicable targeted response time listed in the table below.
“Targeted response time” means the maximum allowed time to acknowledge the receipt of a support request and initiate the resolution process. The targeted response time (t.r.t.) does not define the time that is required to reach a final resolution of a support incident reported by Partner Australia, as this is strongly dependent on the complexity of the issue.
Partner Australia will cooperate with SkyKick as reasonably necessary to assist SkyKick in trying to resolve the support issue. SkyKick will collaborate with Partner Australia to set priorities that take into consideration Partner Australia needs and SkyKick’s business judgment as to the severity of any reported support incidents.
SkyKick will work to address support incidents with the Partner Australia support organization per the following severity levels:
Level | Type | T.r.t. | Description |
1 | Support incident causes an immediate major impact on Partner Australia’s business, and Partner Australia’s business cannot reasonably continue. | 1 hour | Solution, documented workaround or written information within 1 hour and regular updates. |
2 | The support incident causes a significant impact on Partner Australia’s business. A workaround is not available; however, processing can still continue in a restricted manner. | 3 hours | Solution, documented workaround or written information same business day and regular updates |
3 | The support incident has a minimal impact on Partner Australia’s business. It does not prevent operation of the system. | 24 hours | Solution, documented workaround or written information. |
4 | The support incident has no immediate or mid-term impact on Partner Australia’s business | 5 business days | Solution, documented workaround or written information. |
All support cases must be related to the SkyKick Services. SkyKick support will only spend time investigating and/or resolving support incidents submitted by Partner Australia that pertain a Customer and the live production environment.
Partner Australia shall pay SkyKick according to SkyKick standard hourly rates provided in advance to Partner Australia for all partner support that is provided for problems or issues that do not relate to the SkyKick Services, or when customer requests support from SkyKick directly. Prior to submitting a support incident to SkyKick, Partner Australia will make a general determination whether the incident is caused by the SkyKick Services.
2. Uptime
The SkyKick Services as they pertain to availability, uptime and maintenance is defined as SkyKick’s products and services, including the servers, software and network that are under the control of SkyKick. This definition explicitly excludes any servers, software or network that is not under the control of SkyKick, including but not limited to Partner Australia or Customer’s computing and network resources, the internet, and point-to-point connections.
Scheduled maintenance, unforeseen downtime and unscheduled remedial maintenance of equipment, software and Internet access may interrupt Partner Australia access to the SkyKick Service. SkyKick provides a status page to inform Partner Australia of the SkyKick platform status and of any scheduled or unscheduled downtime and maintenance.
