Cotality Licence Agreement

What makes up this Licence Agreement: The Cotality Licence Agreement is comprised of the following parts, which together constitute a single legally binding document (Licence):

  • the Product Schedule (or Product Schedules as the case may be);
  • Part A – The General Terms and Conditions;
  • Parts B onwards – The Product Special Terms as applicable to the Cotality Services; and
  • the Cotality Disclaimers (as applicable).

By clicking ‘I Agree’ in the Product, you have accepted the terms of this Licence current as at the time you click ‘I Agree’.  Those terms supersede any other agreement, whether verbal or written, by any person, sales agent or sales distributor of any member of the Cotality Group.

Any expressions not defined in Parts B onwards in these terms will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meaning given in the General Terms and Conditions.  If there is any inconsistency between the General Terms and Conditions and Parts B onwards, Parts B onwards will prevail.

Your use of the Cotality Services is conditional on you accepting the terms of this Licence.  If you are the Customer, by downloading, installing, copying or otherwise using the Product and the Cotality Services, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Licence.  Acceptance binds you and the organisations, entities or persons you represent (for the purposes of receiving the Cotality Services), and all of your users to the terms and conditions of the Licence in their use of the Product.

If you are a Permitted User, by accepting these terms or accessing or using the Product or Cotality Services, you agree to comply with the terms of this Licence as they relate to access and use of the Product and Cotality Services, including in clauses A2, A3, A4, and any access rights and restrictions in Parts B to Q of this Licence. You agree that your right to access and use the Product and Cotality Services arises from the Customer’s right to access and use the Products and Cotality Services and if that Licence expires or is terminated, your right to access and use the Product or the Cotality Services will also end.

If you do not accept those terms and conditions then do not download, install, copy or use the Product or the Cotality Services.

A4. ACCESS TO COTALITY SERVICES AND PRODUCT DATA

A4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Product Schedule, the Customer will access the Cotality Services via a Cotality website or in the case of Property Information Monitor (PIM) through the software provided by Cotality and installed locally by the Customer on the Customer’s network (PIM Software).

A4.2 The Customer is responsible for obtaining access to Cotality Services, and for any and all costs and expenses in connection with accessing and using the Cotality Services, including internet service provider fees, telecommunications fees, and the cost of any and all equipment (including hardware and software) used by the Customer in connection with its access and use of the Cotality Services.

(a) bears sole responsibility for protecting all Login Details;

(b) must not share or provide such Login Details to any third party; and

(c) is, and will remain, fully responsible and liable for any authorised or unauthorised use of any Login Details, including in relation to all orders or requests for Cotality Services made using any Login Details allocated to a Permitted User.

(c) that there has been any unauthorised use of the Login Details or the Customer’s account.

A4.7 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, for security reasons:

(a) Cotality may reset or require the Customer to update Login Details whenever Cotality considers it appropriate under its internal security protocols; and

(b) browser sessions will be closed if there is an extended period of inactivity. The Customer should ensure its session remains active to avoid the browser session closing.

A4.8 Cotality has the right to restrict or suspend access to Cotality Services at any time where it reasonably suspects a potential breach in security or unauthorised use of the Cotality Services. Cotality must communicate any restriction or suspension of access to the Customer as soon as reasonably practical.

A4.9 The Customer is fully responsible and liable for the acts or omissions of a Customer Representative as if such acts or omissions were the acts or omissions of the Customer itself under this Licence.

A4.10 The Customer must not allow any third party contractor, consultant or supplier to access or use the Cotality Services without first obtaining Cotality’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld (Approved Contractor). Where Cotality has genuine security or reputational concerns around an Approved Contractor, Cotality will consult with the Customer and if those concerns cannot be allayed, Cotality may (acting reasonably) withdraw approval for that Approved Contractor.

A4.11 Where Cotality grants consent under clause A4.10, such consent is limited to the Customer enabling Approved Contractors to access Cotality Services solely for the limited purpose of supplying services to the Customer to enable the Customer to use and obtain the benefit of the Cotality Services.

A4.12 Despite any consent under clause A4.10 above, the Customer:

A5. RIGHTS IN COTALITY SERVICES AND PRODUCT DATA

A5.1 Cotality is (or its third party service providers are) the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interests in and to the Cotality Materials, including any and all creations, inventions, Modifications and Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in the Cotality Materials.

A5.2 The Customer:

(a) acquires no rights in or to the Cotality Materials or any Intellectual Property Rights in the Cotality Materials, except for the limited licence in clause A2;

(b) must not, and must not permit any other person or entity to, infringe upon, harm or contest the validity or Cotality’s and its service providers’ ownership of the Cotality Materials, or the creations, inventions and Intellectual Property Rights contained or embodied within the Cotality Materials; and

(c) if permitted in a Product Schedule to reproduce, publish, communicate, distribute or supply the Products or any Product Data to End Users, must comply with Part N (Special Terms for Republication of Cotality Data).

A5.3 The Customer acknowledges that Cotality has entered into licensing agreements for the use of data with various Third Party Data Providers (Third Party Agreements). Cotality’s rights to provide the Cotality Services and Product Data are subject to the terms of those Third Party Agreements on which those Third Party Data Providers supply that data. The Customer agrees to comply with the requirements of the Third Party Data Provider. As at the Effective Date, these are:

(a) as set out at https://www.corelogic.co.nz/legals/third-party-data-provisions[BC1] ;

(b) as set out at https://www.corelogic.com.au/legals/third-party-restrictions[BC2] ;

(c) as set out in a Product Schedule.

A5.4 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that a relevant Third Party Agreement may be amended, or may expire or terminate during the period of this Licence, or that Third Party Data Providers may cease to provide the relevant services, products or data for any reason or direct Cotality to alter the way in which the Cotality Services are provided. This may result in Product Data no longer being available or available in the same way.  Cotality will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of any changes to the flow through terms arising from a change to a Third Party Agreement which materially impacts the Cotality Services or Product Data in a manner which amounts to a Decommission, and clause A6.2 will apply.

A6. CHANGES TO COTALITY SERVICES

A6.1 Subject to clause A6.2, Cotality reserves the right to:

(a) modify the method of supply and delivery of, or access to, the Cotality Services at any time during the Initial Period and any Renewal Period;

(c) require the Customer to obtain and use the most recent version of any Cotality Services and Cotality will make those versions available to the Customer in a manner to be notified by Cotality to the Customer;

but will notify the Customer in advance of any such actions except where not reasonably possible (including in the case of emergencies or urgent fixes).

A6.2 Cotality will give the Customer at least 90 days’ written notice (or a shorter period if necessary to comply with Law or where not reasonably possible including due to changes in the terms of an agreement with, or the supply of data by, a Third Party Data Provider) if Cotality proposes to cease providing or supporting some or all material features of a Product, or to cease offering or providing a Product at all (each, a Decommission). Without prejudice to any other rights the Customer may have under clause A17, the Customer may terminate this Licence in respect of the affected Product by giving Cotality at least 30 days’ written notice commencing at any time during the 90 day period (or, if the notice period is less than 30 days, the Customer can provide notice any time within the notice period with the termination being effective as of the expiry of the notice period). If Cotality is able to make a change to the relevant Product to avoid the need for a Decommission, it will notify the Customer and any notice of termination issued by the Customer will not be effective.

A7. CUSTOMER MATERIALS

A7.1 If the Customer (either itself or through its Customer Representatives) provides any Customer Materials to Cotality, the Customer hereby grants to Cotality and its service providers a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, non-exclusive right and licence to use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, perform, display (publicly or otherwise), adapt, make derivative works of, and otherwise commercialise and exploit, the Customer Materials.

A7.2 The Customer is and remains the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest (including all Intellectual Property Rights) subsisting in and to the Customer Materials (current or future).

A7.3 The Customer represents and warrants to Cotality and its service providers that:

A7.4 To the extent the Customer Materials include any Personal Information, the Customer warrants that it has obtained consent and authority from the relevant individuals to use and disclose any such Personal Information as contemplated in this Licence, and that use of the Customer Materials will not put Cotality in breach of the Privacy Laws.

A7.5 Cotality reserves the right to:

(a) notwithstanding anything else contained in this Licence, store all data (including Customer Materials) using cloud storage technology;

(b) measure, tag and track the Product Data and any other data or materials from Cotality (and any use of them), and to disclose Customer Materials to Cotality’s suppliers (under terms of confidentiality) for the purposes of doing so, including for billing purposes and/or to determine interest in certain areas and identify usage patterns; and

(c) anonymise or deidentify information and use it for product development and research purposes.

A8. FEES

A8.1 The Customer will pay the fees set out in the Product Schedule (Fees). Subject to clause A8.2:

(a) all Fees, when paid, are non-refundable, even if the Customer stops using the Cotality Services or the Product Data;

(b) if the Customer terminates this Licence before the expiry of the Initial Period, the Customer remains liable for any remaining Fees due up to the expiry of the Initial Period.

A8.2 Cotality will refund a prorated portion of any prepaid Fees, or the Customer will not be liable to pay the relevant portion of the Fees, which relate to:

(a) the period after the effective date of termination if the Customer terminates the Licence:
(i) in the event of a Decommission, in accordance with clause A6.2;
(ii) on receiving notice of a Fee increase, in accordance with clause A8.8;
(iii) as a result of a material breach by Cotality, in accordance with clause A17.3;

(b) the period after the effective date of termination if Cotality terminates the Licence in the event of a third party infringement claim in relation to the Cotality Service or Product Data, in accordance with clause A13.3; or

(c) the suspension period where access to the Cotality Services is suspended by Cotality under clause A4.8 for more than 30 days, in circumstances where there has been no breach of the Licence by the Customer, any Customer Representatives or an Approved Contractor.

A8.3 Unless expressly provided otherwise in any Product Schedule, all Fees are payable monthly on or before the relevant Payment Date.

A8.4 Except as expressly provided for in the Product Schedule, all Cotality Services are GST exclusive. If provision of the Cotality Services under this Licence is subject to GST, the Customer must pay to Cotality an additional amount equal to the relevant fee multiplied by the applicable GST rate. Such additional amount is payable at the same time as the related fee. Cotality will provide the Customer with a Tax Invoice on a periodic basis and in any event in accordance with the GST Law.

A8.5 Where the number of the Customer’s users exceeds the number of Permitted Users specified in the Product Schedule (if any), Cotality may charge an additional pro rata amount per additional user accessing or using the Cotality Services.

A8.6 If any use is made of the Cotality Services or the Product Data:

(a) by any person or entity other than the Customer or a Permitted User; or

(b) in a manner which is restricted or not permitted under this Licence,

and such use is attributed to the act or default of the Customer, a Customer Representative or an Approved Contractor, then without prejudice to Cotality’s other rights and remedies, the Customer will immediately be liable to pay to Cotality an amount equal to the charges which such person or entity would have been obliged to pay had Cotality granted a licence to the unauthorised user or for the unauthorised use at the beginning of the period of the unauthorised use.

A8.7 Cotality may at its reasonable discretion increase the Fees for or during any Renewal Period by providing the Customer written notice at least 30 days prior to the application of the increase.  The Customer acknowledges and agrees that a Third Party Data Provider may increase the fees for products or services it supplies, and as such Cotality may increase the Fees relating to those products or services at any time, including during the Initial Period, by Cotality giving notice to the Customer no less than 30 days prior to the increases taking effect.

A8.8 On receiving a notice of a Fee increase from Cotality under clause A8.7, the Customer may terminate this Licence by giving Cotality written notice within 30 days of its receipt of the notice of Fee increase. If the Customer does not exercise its termination right the continued use of the Cotality Services will constitute binding acceptance of the variation.

A8.9 Any amounts not paid to Cotality when due will be subject to interest equal to a rate that is 5% per annum above the cash rate last published by the Reserve Bank of the Territory, and will be calculated on a daily basis, compounded monthly.

A8.10 If the Customer fails to pay the Fees when due and has not paid the Fees within 7 days of a notice from Cotality requiring the Customer to do so, and the Customer has another payment method for a different Cotality Service, the Customer hereby consents to Cotality charging the outstanding Fees using that other payment method for any undisputed invoice.

A9. CREDIT CHECKS

A9.1 Where the Customer is a sole trader Cotality reserves the right to instruct a credit reporting service to carry out a credit check on the Customer to establish creditworthiness and the Customer agrees to co-operate with any reasonable request made in relation to a credit check under this clause.

(a) the Customer’s main business is as described in the applicable Product Schedule (if applicable); and

(b) the Customer is not subject to any Sanctions, is not based, organised or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive (i.e., country-wide or territory-wide) Sanctions, and is not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a person, entity or government which is subject to any Sanctions.

A11. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXCLUDED

A11.2 Cotality relies on third party suppliers, including Third Party Data Providers, to enable it to provide the Cotality Services and the Product Data to the Customer. In addition, the Cotality Services and the Product Data is of a general nature and is not tailored to suit the Customer’s needs. As such, and without limiting the rest of this clause A11, the Customer acknowledges:

To the full extent permitted by Law, Cotality disclaims all responsibility for any error, omission or inaccuracy of such information or its failure to comply with the relevant Laws or regulations. Cotality has no responsibility regarding any information the Customer obtains from any other website, even if the Customer accesses it via a link from a Cotality website.

A13.2 Cotality’s obligations in this clause are subject to the following conditions:
