1.3. This Licence permits the Licensee to use BarBooks on as many devices as he, she or it wishes. However, the use of BarBooks must in each case be by the Licensee or for his, her or its own benefit. The Licensee must not allow, permit or encourage any third party to use BarBooks for that third party’s benefit, unless the third party has entered into a separate EULA with the Licensor.
1.4. The Licence commences on the date of acceptance of this EULA (which acceptance is communicated by the Licensee downloading, installing and using BarBooks) and ends upon termination.
1.5. The Licence granted by this clause (and this EULA) is non-exclusive, non-transferrable (either by sublicense, transfer, assignment or otherwise) and may be terminated by the Licensor in the circumstances set forth hereinbelow.
2. PAYMENT
2.1. From the expiry of any free trial, the Licensee must pay to the Licensor in advance a monthly or annual fee (as applicable) for the use of BarBooks (the Licence Fee).
2.2. The Licence Fee is subject to, but exclusive of, any Goods and Services Tax (or other value-added tax), which must also be paid by the Licensee to the Licensor in accordance with the applicable taxation legislation.
2.3. The Licence Fee (and any Goods and Services Tax or other value-added tax) is payable by the Licensee to the Licensor in such amount, in such manner and by such method as the Licensor may from time to time direct. In particular, the Licensee hereby authorises the Licensor to debit from his, her or its nominated debit or credit account the amount of the Licence Fee on the due date for payment.
2.4. The Licensor may increase the Licence Fee for any future monthly or annual period (as applicable) at any time in its absolute discretion upon the giving of 30 days’ notice. The Licensor may also charge the Licensee an additional Licence Fee (in an amount determined by the Licensor in its absolute discretion) for any additional service or software module developed by it (as designated and identified by the Licensor in its absolute discretion), upon the giving of 30 days’ notice. Such additional Licence Fee may be charged on an annual or monthly basis by the Licensor according to the form of subscription selected by the Licensee, or as the Licensor may in its absolute discretion determine.
2.5. The Licence Fee is payable by the Licensee whether or not a tax invoice/ receipt has first been issued by the Licensor in respect of the Licence Fee. However, the Licensor will issue to the Licensee a tax invoice/ receipt for each payment of the License Fee within a reasonable time of the due date for such payment.
2.6. In the event that the Licensee fails to pay any part of the Licence Fee and such failure continues for more than 7 days from the due date for payment, the Licensor may charge interest on the unpaid amount at the rate of 4% above the Reserve Bank cash target rate from time to time. However, before such interest can be charged, the Licensor must notify the Licensee in writing of its intention to charge interest, and provide the Licensee with 7 days from the date of that notification within which to pay the outstanding amount in satisfaction of which no interest will become payable. This restriction applies only to the first charge made for interest. Any subsequent charges for interest may be made by the Licensor without prior notification in its absolute discretion.
