A BigRedSky Affiliate may act as a billing and collection agent for the BigRedSky entity listed on the applicable Ordering Document. For online purchases, you authorize us to charge you for charges stated in the applicable Ordering Document via credit card, debit card, or Automated Clearing House ("ACH") or any other method you have agreed to in advance. If you are a non-government subscriber and you fail to pay your invoiced charges, you are responsible for collection costs including reasonable legal fees. The charges listed on the Ordering Document are exclusive of applicable taxes. You must pay applicable taxes and duties, including withholding taxes, value added tax (VAT), sales tax or other taxes (excluding income taxes imposed on BigRedSky). You will provide BigRedSky written evidence of any withholding tax paid by you or any tax exemption on which you wish to rely. If you are obliged to withhold or deduct any portion of the charges, then BigRedSky shall be entitled to receive from you such amounts as will ensure that the net receipt, after tax and duties, to BigRedSky in respect of the charges is the same as it would have been were the payment not subject to the tax or duties. Invoice disputes must be notified within 15 days of the date of the invoice.
b. Changes. We reserve the right to increase, or adjust the basis for calculating, the charges for our Services at any time.
c. Excess Use. You must pay additional charges if you exceed the scope of use specified in the applicable Ordering Document, based on the rates specified on the applicable Ordering Document or our current standard pricing, whichever is greater. We may change the charges if you merge with, acquire or are acquired by another entity which results in additional access to our Services or data.
5. PRIVACY
a. Compliance with Privacy Laws. Each of us will comply with all applicable Privacy Laws when we collect or process Personal Information in connection with this Agreement.
b. In this Section 5:
- i. "Personal Information" means "personal information" as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and any other information relating to individuals that is subject to the operation of Privacy Laws, that either party collects, receives, accesses, stores or otherwise processes in connection with this Agreement; and
- ii. "Privacy Laws" means the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and any other applicable laws (to the extent they apply to each of us) in force from time to time in any Australian or non-Australian jurisdiction affecting privacy or Personal Information, including (as applicable) the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
When applicable to your location, additional General Terms will apply to the Agreement, including the applicable terms of our Privacy Policy located here Privacy_Policy-BRS-January_2026.pdf.
c. Our obligations. You acknowledge that we may use and disclose the Personal Information you provide to us under this Agreement for a variety of purposes, including: (i) to supply products and services; (ii) to monitor use of our products and services for the purposes of future development and to ensure they meet your needs and interests; and (iii) to administer your account and enforce your contract, which may include disclosure of Personal Information to other members of the global BigRedSky group of companies. We will always collect, use and disclose Personal Information you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time. We will take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information you provide to us from unauthorised access, use, disclosure and loss, using commercially appropriate security practices and technologies. On termination of this Agreement, we will: (i) provide to you, where reasonably requested, all Personal Information you have provided to us that is in our possession; (ii) cease using your Personal Information; and (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, permanently remove all copies of your Personal Information from our systems, except to the extent necessary to comply with laws or where such information is retained for legitimate business purposes as contemplated in the Privacy Act.
d. Your obligations. You warrant that you will not provide BigRedSky with any Personal Information except where you have all rights required by Privacy Laws to do so, including having obtained all necessary consents and provided all necessary collection notices.
e. International transfers. You expressly acknowledge and consent to: (i) us transferring and disclosing Personal Information you provide to our third-party service providers, including those located outside of Australia, to the extent required to provide the products and services; and (ii) such overseas recipients storing and processing such Personal Information provided by you on servers outside Australia. Overseas recipients may be located in countries including, but not limited to India and the United Kingdom.
f. Response to Data Breach. If either party becomes aware of, or suspects there has been, any loss of, unauthorized access to or use or disclosure of, or breaches of security in relation to, any Personal Information in connection with this Agreement ("Data Breach"), that party must, as soon as possible, notify the other party of the actual or potential Data Breach. Each of us agrees to cooperate in good faith in relation to the investigation and assessment of the relevant Data Breach, and in relation to any notifications required to be made under Privacy Law to affected individuals and to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or an equivalent local or foreign regulator (each a Regulatory Authority). Generally, if a Data Breach occurs on our systems and impacts Personal Information you provide to us as well as other Personal Information provided by our other customers, then we will take primary responsibility for notification (unless otherwise reasonably agreed). Any correspondence with a Regulatory Authority or affected individuals must be in a form that is mutually agreed by both parties (such agreement or approval not to be unreasonably withheld). However, nothing in this Section 5.f will prevent either of us from complying with our respective obligations under Privacy Laws, including in respect of notifying a Regulatory Authority or affected individuals about a Data Breach.
g. Audits. Upon your written request and no more than once per year during the term of the Agreement, BigRedSky will allow for and contribute to audits conducted by you or an external auditor selected by you in the form of providing answers to a reasonable questionnaire with respect to BigRedSky's processing of Personal Information. At your expense and to the extent a more extensive audit is granted by BigRedSky, then the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a statement of work that outlines the scope and time frames of the audit.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each party agrees to (i) protect any Confidential Information received from the other party using the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information (which shall be no less than a reasonable degree of care) and (ii) not disclose any part of it to any third party except to its Affiliates, contractors, financial advisors, accountants and attorneys who are subject to legal privilege or confidentiality duties or obligations to the recipient that are no less restrictive than the General Terms and conditions of the Agreement. If a court or government agency orders either party to disclose the Confidential Information of the other, the other will be promptly notified so that an appropriate protective order or other remedy can be obtained unless the court or government agency prohibits prior notification. These obligations of confidentiality do not apply to information which: (1) is or becomes generally available to the public (through no act or omission of the receiving party); (2) becomes known to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis through a third party who is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to that information; (3) was lawfully in the possession of the receiving party prior to such disclosure as established by documentary evidence; or (4) is independently developed by the receiving party, as established by documentary evidence, without reference to or use of, in whole or in part, any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information. This Section 6 shall survive three (3) years after the termination of the Agreement or until the Confidential Information is no longer deemed confidential under applicable law, whichever occurs first.

9. TERM, TERMINATION
a. Term. The term and any renewal General Terms for the Services are described in the applicable Ordering Document. If not otherwise stated in the applicable Ordering Document, the Agreement will automatically renew annually unless either of us gives the other at least 60 days written notice before the end of the then current term.

We may suspend or limit your use of the Services, or modify the terms on which it is provided, if (i) we are required to do so by a third-party provider, court or regulator; (ii) there has been or it is reasonably likely that there will be: (1) a breach of security; (2) a breach of the Agreement or another agreement between us; or (3) a violation of applicable law or third-party rights. We will notify you prior to such suspension or limitation unless we determine, in good faith, that (i) we are prohibited from doing so under applicable law or legal process; or (ii) it is necessary to delay notice to prevent imminent harm to us or a third party. Charges remain payable in full during periods of suspension or limitation arising from your fault or breach of the Agreement or another agreement between us.

c. Termination. Either party may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party commits a material breach of the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days of written notice by the non-breaching party. Any misrepresentation by you or failure to fully pay any amount when due under the Agreement is a material breach for this purpose. Either party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice if the other party becomes insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. We may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part, upon reasonable notice in relation to a Service which is being discontinued.
d. Pro Rata Refunds.

To the extent permitted under applicable law or regulation, you will also be entitled to a pro rata refund of the relevant portion of any indirect taxes paid in advance for Services that have not been rendered.
e. Effect of Termination. Except to the extent we have agreed otherwise, upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, all licenses and rights granted herein shall end immediately and you must uninstall or destroy all of the Property. Additionally, upon expiration or termination, at your request, we will, at our discretion, either return or destroy your Confidential Information, except as may be required for archival or compliance purposes. Termination of the Agreement will not (i) relieve you of your obligation to pay BigRedSky or its agent any amounts you owe up to and including the date of termination; (ii) affect other accrued rights and obligations; or (iii) terminate those parts of the Agreement that by their nature should continue or those that expressly state shall survive termination.

Modified General Terms become effective 30 days after such notice. By using the Services after the effective date, you agree to be bound by the most recent version of the General Terms. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications.
g. Force Majeure. We are not liable for any damages or failure to perform our obligations under the Agreement because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If those circumstances cause material deficiencies in the Services and continue for more than 30 days, either party may terminate any affected Service on written notice to the other.
