Logger Transit Data Portal

When you use our Logger Transit Data portal in combination with the free upload feature for loggers not registered to your account, you acknowledge and agree that such a logger’s data becomes publicly available in the open domain, and may be downloaded, stored and forwarded without requiring further agreement by you.

If you do not wish a logger’s data to be viewed publicly in the Logger Transit Data portal, you must register the logger to your LogTag Online account before the logger is first downloaded to a computer. When you register a logger to your LogTag Online account, the logger’s data is then only viewable when signed in to an account that is authorized to access this data.

Geo-Location Features

When using loggers that utilize geo-location features (mapping), you acknowledge and agree that such features have a margin of error that is determined by available cell-towers, their signal-strength and the placement of the logger with the cargo. Geo-location features cannot be used to accurately pinpoint the location for applicable loggers, and may not be available during part or all of any shipment of goods accompanied by a logger.

Using the geo-location feature in connection with a logger is designed to track the shipment of goods accompanied by a logger and, subject to the limitation set forth in the preceding paragraph, to make the position of the shipment available to users which have been granted access to your account.

Fees

A limited subset of the functions of the Service are offered to you for free (“For-free Functionality”), the remainder requires you to purchase one or more Activation Codes for the Service from one of our Resellers, or to purchase the Service via a Payment Provider (“For-pay Functionality”).

For-Free Functionality

If you are using the free Service, your right to access and use the free Service is not guaranteed for any period of time and we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to limit or terminate your use of any free versions of the Services by you, your Personnel or by any individual or entity related to you.

We also reserve the right to reduce the number of For-Free Functions available to you.

For-Pay Functionality

For-pay Functionality is accessed by (a) entering an Activation Code into the Service, or (b) purchasing Subscriptions and Notification/Shipment Units directly from us, via a third-party provided Payment Gateway. An Activation Code purchased from one of our Resellers must be pre-paid.

Each Activation Code or Subscription is valid for a set period of time, for a specific functionality. You will be able to view the details about the expiry and the functionality for each already activated Activation Code and Subscription in the Service. Notification Units may only be used if they are part of a valid Subscription, but can be reactivated if a Subscription expires and a new Subscription is paid. Shipment Units can be used with an expired Subscription, as long as the Shipment Unit Balance is greater than zero, however, the remaining For-pay Functionality will cease.

To guarantee uninterrupted access to the Data, you must purchase and enter a new Activation Code for this function, or purchase a Subscription, before the expiry date.

If you have not entered a new Activation Code, or purchased a Subscription, before the expiry date shown for the Activation Code, access to the For-pay Functionality will cease. You may continue to use the restricted For-Free Functionality of the Service after this time, however, access to the For-Pay Functionality will be removed. You can restore For-Pay Functionality by purchasing further Activation Codes. You acknowledge that:

  • in the event the For-pay Functionality lapses at any time, we do not guarantee that any Data collected previously will be retained;
  • if you continue to use the restricted For-Free Functionality of the Service for one year after the last activation code has expired, and do not enter a new Activation Code, all remaining purchased notification units will expire without the option to re-activate;
  • you have no right to, and you will receive no refunds should you remove a specific functionality from the Service;
  • no refunds will be given for unused Notification/Shipment Units; and
  • no refunds will be given should you stop using the Service prior to the expiry date.

Free Features As Part Of The For-Pay Functionality

Some features only available in the For-pay Functionality are offered as free add-on services, including, but not limited to, bonus Notification/Shipment units (which may be given to a user when signing up for a new Subscription), free carrier email-to-SMS gateways and the LogTag Mobile App. The use of these add-on services is not guaranteed for any period of time and we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to (i) limit or terminate your use of any free add-ons by you, your Personnel or by any individual or entity related to you, or (ii) to charge for such free add-on services.

Bonus Notification units tied to an Activation Code always expire when the corresponding Activation code expires, and cannot be reactivated.

Trials

If you are using the For-pay Functionality of the Service on a trial or promotional basis (“Trial Period”), your Trial Period and access to the Services will terminate at the end of the Trial Period agreed upon when you signed up; if no date is specified, the trial period ends, and the Services will end, 30 days after your initial access to the Service. You may continue to use the restricted For-Free Functionality of the Service after this time; however, access to the For-Pay Functionality and the Data generated during the Trial period will be removed. During the Trial Period, to the extent permitted by Law, we provide the Services “AS IS” and without any warranties, indemnities or representations whatsoever. We may modify or discontinue any trials or promotions at any time without notice.

Text Messages

To send text messages, including messages forwarded to WhatsApp recipients, you must purchase Notification Units. Each time a message is sent, a set number of Notification Units will be deducted from your available Notification Unit Balance, such number to be determined in accordance with our then-current policies and procedures. Once your balance reaches zero, you can no longer send text messages. The number of Notification Units used to send a text message varies by country. A list of how many Notification Units are deducted per message is available from us or any Reseller upon request.

Notification Units are purchased by way of a special Activation Code, or via the Payment Gateway.

In the US, you have the option to select, as part of the account setup, a free, carrier provided email-to-SMS gateway to deliver notifications as text messages. You acknowledge and agree that the free email-to-SMS gateway is only used where the carrier permits such use under their fair-use policy, and that you may still be charged Notification Units for all messages sent as text messages via the email-to-SMS gateway at the sole discretion of LogTag North America. Please refer to each carrier’s policy for the use of the email-to-SMS gateway functionality. You acknowledge and agree that using the free email-to-SMS gateway may result in messages being blocked or not being delivered in a timely manner due to restrictions placed on this functionality by the carriers in accordance with their policies and procedures. If you do not wish to utilize your carrier’s email-to-SMS gateway, select “Other” as your cellular provider in your account, which will disable the use of the email-to-SMS gateway for text messages from LogTag® Online.

The text messaging system, including the messaging system provided by WhatsApp, is not available in the For-free Functionality of the Service.

Shipments

To create shipments, you must purchase Shipment Units. Each time you make a shipment, one or more Shipment Units will be deducted from your available balance as set forth herein. Once your balance reaches zero, you can no longer send shipments. For each Logger downloaded from a shipment, one Shipment Unit will be deducted.

Shipment Units are purchased by way of a special Activation Code, or via the Payment Gateway.

Shipments are not available in the For-free Functionality of the Service.

Payables

Unless otherwise stated, all quoted prices and transactions are denoted in US dollars (USD) and do not include any Sales Tax (please see “Sales Tax” below). Regardless of your place of residence, the payment provider may offer you to purchase Authorization Codes in a currency other than USD. You acknowledge and accept that the payment provider ‘s charges are representative of the exchange rate, and that no adjustment will be made for exchange rate variations.

We or any Reseller may increase the cost of Subscriptions (including Activation Codes received to activate the Subscriptions) and/or Units at any time and at our sole discretion. Any changes in fees will become effective when you next purchase one of the Subscriptions or Units . If you do not wish to pay the increased Fees, you may terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service after the expiry date of any valid Activation Codes. If you do not terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service in accordance with this clause, you are deemed to have accepted the increased Fees.

You are responsible for all fees and charges imposed by your data transmission providers related to your access and use of the Service. You are responsible for providing accurate and current billing, contact and payment information to us or any Reseller.

Activation Codes purchased from distributors

You must pay any fees for Activation Codes in accordance with the payment terms agreed with us or one of our Resellers, electronically, in cleared funds, and without any deduction.

If you do not pay the fees as agreed, we reserve the right to terminate the functionality for the unpaid Activation Code. In the event we terminate a functionality for an unpaid Activation Code, such Activation Code will be deemed expired.

Subscriptions and Units purchased via the website

You represent and warrant that you have the right to use the payment method, including, but not limited to, the credit card, for which you provide information in connection with a payment transaction. Submitting such information constitutes your consent for LogTag North America to transfer information to our third party payment services provider for purposes of facilitating payment transactions in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that you may be asked to verify certain information prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any payment transaction.

You agree to paying all charges incurred by you or on your behalf relating to the transaction.

If you do not comply with these requirements, LogTag North America reserves the right, including without prior notice, to discontinue providing the Service to you and to bar any user from making any payment transaction.

You agree and acknowledge that Subscriptions, Notification Units and Shipment Units are allocated to the Team that is active when you enter the Payment Gateway. You also agree and acknowledge that other Team Members, depending on the Permission Level you have allocated to them, will be able to activate and use For-Pay functionality on your behalf.

Sales Tax

The fees LogTag North America charges for the Service exclude any Sales Tax.

In some jurisdictions, LogTag North America will collect Sales Tax on your behalf. To the extent that any such Sales Tax is collectable by us, you must pay to us the amount of such Sales Tax in addition to any fees owed under these Terms. The type and amount of Sales Tax collected will be identified in the Payment Gateway before you finalize your purchase.

Upon completion of your purchase transaction, you will be issued with a receipt for the money you have paid for the Service. Such a receipt will list any Sales Tax collected.

In several jurisdictions, Sales Tax is not automatically collected in addition to the purchase price of the Service.

It is your responsibility to ensure the correct Sales Tax is paid in relation to a transaction, in the jurisdiction where the payment is made, including, but not limited to, where we have already collected such Sales Tax on your behalf.

If you are exempt from Sales Tax payments you must make contact with us first, and provide verification of your exemption status. No refunds will be issued for taxes paid by you, that would otherwise have been exempt.

Chargebacks

If you have any concerns about your credit card transaction and its validity, contact us for a resolution before initiating a chargeback process. We make every reasonable effort to avoid transactions that lead to incorrect charges on your credit card account. However, should such a transaction occur, we will endeavor to resolve this as soon as possible.

Should you decide to initiate chargeback procedures, we reserve the right to cancel any service we provide to you as soon as we have been informed by either the card-issuing bank or the payment portal provider, and to bar you from using the Service.

Expiry

An Activation Code purchased from one of our Resellers will become active once entered into the system. Activation Codes expire 12 months after they have been issued. The For-Pay Functionality of the Activation Code will expire 12 months after the code has been entered into the system.

A Subscription purchased via the Payment Gateway is valid immediately from the time and date of purchase and expires 12 months after the purchase date, even if it is not immediately allocated to a particular For-pay functionality (for example, a location). Any Subscription not allocated in the 12 months after purchase will be deemed expired.

Notification Units purchased via the Payment Gateway are added to your Notification Unit balance immediately and expire 12 months after the purchase date. Notification Units that are expired will be re-activated if additional Notification Units are added for the Service less than one year after the original expiry date.

Shipment Units purchased via the Payment Gateway are added to your Shipment Unit balance immediately and expire 12 months after the purchase date. Shipment Units that are expired will be re-activated if additional Shipment Units are purchased for the Service.

Each party must take reasonable steps to mitigate any loss or damage, cost or expense it may suffer or incur arising out of any acts or omissions by the other party under or in connection with these Terms or the Service.

Terms, Termination and Suspension

Unless terminated under this clause, these Terms and your right to access and use the Service

  • starts on the Start Date; and
  • continues until a party gives at least 30 days’ prior notice that these Terms and your access to and use of the Service will terminate on the expiry of that notice.

Either party may, by notice to the other party, immediately terminate these Terms and your right to access and use the Service if the other party

  • breaches any material provision of these Terms and the breach is not (a) remedied within 10 days of the receipt of a notice from the first party requiring it to remedy the breach or (b) capable of being remedied; or
  • becomes insolvent, has an administrator, receiver, liquidator, statutory manager, mortgagee’s or chargee’s agent appointed, becomes subject to any form of insolvency action or external administration, or ceases to continue business for any reason.

Termination of these Terms does not affect either party’s rights and obligations that accrued before that termination.

Prior to the termination of these Terms, you must pay all outstanding Fees associated with your use of the Service.

No compensation is payable by us to you as a result of termination of these Terms for whatever reason, and you will not be entitled to a refund of any Fees that you have already paid.

Except to the extent that a party has ongoing rights to use Confidential Information, at the other party’s request following termination of these Terms (subject to the next clause), a party must promptly return to the other party or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party that is in such party’s possession or control.

At any time prior to one month after the date of termination, you may request:

  • a copy of any Data stored using the Service, provided that you pay our reasonable costs of providing that copy. On receipt of that request, we must provide a copy of the Data in a common electronic form. We do not warrant that the format of the Data will be compatible with any software; and/or
  • deletion of the Data stored using the Service, in which case we must use reasonable efforts to promptly delete that Data.

We are not required to provide you with a copy of the Data if you have previously requested deletion of that Data.

Breach of Terms

We reserve the right to terminate accounts of users committing infringements of these Terms.

Without limiting any other right or remedy available to us, we may restrict or suspend your access to and use of the Service and/or delete, edit or remove the relevant Data if we consider that you or any of your Personnel have:

  • undermined, or attempted to undermine, the security or integrity of the Service or any Underlying Systems;
  • used, or attempted to use, the Service:
    • for improper purposes; or
    • in a manner, other than for normal operational purposes, that materially reduces the operational performance of the Service;
    • </ul style=”padding-left: 2rem;”>
  • transmitted, inputted or stored any Data that breaches or may breach these Terms or any third-party right (including Intellectual Property Rights and privacy rights), or that is or may be Objectionable, incorrect or misleading; or
  • otherwise materially breached these Terms.

General

Neither party is liable to the other for any failure to perform its obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by Force Majeure.

No person other than you and us has any right to a benefit under, or to enforce, these Terms.

For us to waive a right under these Terms, that waiver must be in writing and signed by us.

We are your independent contractor, and no other relationship (e.g. joint venture, agency, trust or partnership) exists under these Terms, unless specifically stipulated elsewhere in these Terms.

If we need to contact you, we may do so by email or by posting a notice on the Website. You agree that this satisfies all legal requirements in relation to written communications. You may give notice to us under or in connection with these Terms by emailing [email protected].

These Terms (including the Privacy Policy incorporated by reference hereto), and any dispute relating to these Terms or the Service, are governed by and must be interpreted in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand in relation to any dispute connected with these Terms or the Service.

Clauses which, by their nature, are intended to survive termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect after the termination of these Terms. The provisions of the following sections shall survive the cancellation, termination or expiration of these Terms: “Term, Termination and Suspension,” “Intellectual Property,” “Confidentiality,” “Indemnification,” “Warranties,” “Liability,” and “General”.

If any part or provision of these Terms is or becomes illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, that part or provision is deemed to be modified to the extent required to remedy the illegality, non-enforceability or invalidity. If modification is not possible, the part or provision must be treated for all purposes as severed from these Terms. The remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect and shall be binding on you.

Subject to the next clause (Changes to these Terms) any variation to these Terms must be in writing and signed by both parties.

These Terms set out everything agreed by the parties relating to the Service, and supersede and cancel anything discussed, exchanged or agreed prior to the Start Date. The parties have not relied on any representation, warranty or agreement relating to the Service that is not expressly set out in these Terms, and no such representation, warranty or agreement has any effect from the Start Date. Without limiting the previous sentence, the parties agree to contract out of sections 9, 12A and 13 of the Fair Trading Act 1986, and that it is fair and reasonable that the parties are bound by this clause.

You may not assign, novate, subcontract or transfer any right or obligation under these Terms without our prior written consent, that consent not to be unreasonably withheld. You remain liable for the obligations under these Terms despite any approved assignment, subcontracting or transfer of the Service to any third party.

Unless we say otherwise, the changes become effective from the date published at the top of this Terms document. We will also make a list of changes available, so you can easily assess the impact these changes have on you.

You are responsible for ensuring you are familiar with the latest Terms. By continuing to access and use the Service after the new “effective date” you agree to be bound by the changed Terms.
