Some security services are delivered using third-party platforms or vendors under our management. No security service can guarantee complete protection from all threats, but these services are designed to reduce risk and improve detection and response.

Confidentiality and Data Privacy

We treat your data, systems, access credentials, and business information as confidential. Information collected through monitoring, security tools, remote support tools, backup systems, and service systems is used to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Services.

We will take reasonable steps to protect information we access or process while providing the Services. We may need to access personal information, business data, system logs, device information, security alerts, and usage information to deliver support and managed services.

We aim to comply with applicable New Zealand privacy requirements, including the Privacy Act 2020. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to provide us with access to systems, data, and personal information required to deliver the Services.

11

Third-Party Services

Some Services rely on third-party products, platforms, licences, vendors, or cloud providers. These may include Microsoft 365, security platforms, backup tools, remote access tools, monitoring systems, telecommunications providers, internet providers, hardware vendors, and software vendors.

You agree that third-party services may be subject to their own terms, licensing rules, privacy terms, support limits, service availability, and pricing changes. We are not responsible for failures, outages, changes, or limitations caused by third-party providers outside our reasonable control.

12

Term, Changes, and Cancellation

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Managed IT Services are provided on a month-to-month basis.

  • Either party may cancel Managed IT Services by giving 30 days written notice.
  • We may adjust pricing by giving 30 days notice, unless the change relates to added users, devices, licences, third-party price changes, or added services.
  • Pricing changes caused by user, device, licence, or service increases may be reflected in the next invoice cycle.
  • Any unpaid invoices, out-of-scope work, licences, hardware, or third-party charges remain payable after cancellation.

On cancellation, we may remove support agents, monitoring tools, backup tools, and security tools. You are responsible for arranging replacement services before cancellation takes effect.

13

Liability and Disclaimers

We take reasonable care when providing the Services, but we cannot guarantee that systems will always be secure, available, error-free, backed up, recoverable, or uninterrupted.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, data loss, business interruption, third-party service failure, or damage outside our reasonable control.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability relating to the Managed IT Services is limited to the amount you paid for one month of the relevant Managed IT Services, unless a different limit is agreed in writing.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded, restricted, or modified under New Zealand law.

14

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute relating to these terms or the Services will be subject to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts, unless the parties agree another dispute resolution process in writing.
