Thank you for using Viability.io.

​

Please read these Terms carefully. By using Viability.io or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms. This is a legal agreement.

​

We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand this agreement.

​

Viability.io (“Viability” or the “Service”) is a web based App service offered through the URL http://viability.io (we’ll refer to it as the “Website”). The Service enables you to identify your hospitality business’s key performance metrics, and make more informed decisions on how to manage your business operations based on the feedback given by the Service. In short, the Service is an “operational benchmarking” tool for the hospitality industry. Viability is owned and operated by Viability Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 626 128 98 – ACN 612 898 343), an Australian Private Company (“Viability,” “we,” or “us”). Viability has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that’s a customer of the Service, you’re a “Member” according to this agreement (or “you”). These Terms of Service (“Terms,” including our Privacy Policy), define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use Viability and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Member. If you have any questions about our terms, feel free to contact us.

 

ACCOUNT

1. Eligibility

In order to use Viability, you must:

1. be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to enter into contracts; 2. complete the registration process;
3. agree to the Terms; and
4. provide true, complete, and up to date contact information.

​

By using Viability, you represent and warrant that you meet all the requirements listed above, and that you won’t use Viability in a way that violates any laws or regulations. Viability may refuse service, close accounts of any users, and change eligibility requirements at any time.

​

Represent and Warrant

“Representing and warranting” is like making a legally enforceable promise.

​

2. Term

The Term begins when you sign up for Viability and continues as long as you use the Service. Clicking the button and entering your username means that you’ve officially “signed” the Terms. If you sign up for Viability on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.

​

3. Closing Your Account

You or Viability may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by giving Notice to the other party. We may suspend our Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your monthly prepayment. We won’t refund or reimburse you if there’s cause, like a violation of these Terms. Once terminated, we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, from our Website. If you don’t log in to your account for 12 or more months, we may treat your account as “inactive” and permanently delete the account and all the data associated with it.

​

4. Acceptable Use

Please don’t use Viability to send or communicate anything offensive, to promote anything illegal, or to harass anyone. This may be dictated by law, common sense (do unto others), or our experience using Viability.

​

5. Changes

We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Use on our Website and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. Unless you terminate your account within ten (10) days, the new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of Viability. We may change the Website, the Service, or any features of the Service at any time.

​

6. Account and Password

You’re responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to, whether or not you authorized the use. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords. We don’t have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only reset your password.

​

7. Account Disputes

We don’t know the inner workings of your organisation or the nature of your personal relationships, and we don’t arbitrate disputes over who owns an account. You won’t request access to or information about an account that’s not yours, and you’ll resolve any account-related disputes directly with the other party. We decide who owns an account based on the content in that account, and if multiple people or entities are identified in the content, then we’ll rely on the contact information listed for that account.

​

 

 PAYMENT 

 

8. Monthly and Yearly Plans

Our charges for monthly and yearly plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time to time. If any part of a month or year is included in the Term, then payment is due for the full month or year. Payments are due for any month on the same date, or the closest date in that month, to the day you signed up with us and made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”).

​

9. Credit Cards

As long as you’re a Member or have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid credit card information and authorise us to deduct the monthly or yearly charges against that credit card. You’ll replace the information for any credit card that expires with information for a different valid credit card. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that they are authorised to use that credit card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that credit card and won’t be rejected. If, for some reason, we’re unable to process your credit card order, we’ll try to contact you by email and suspend your account until your payment can be processed.

​

10. Refunds

We’ll give you a refund for a prepaid month or year, pro rata if we stop providing our Service to you for a reason that’s not laid out in these Terms. You won’t be entitled to a refund from us under any other circumstances. We may offer a refund if a Member applies for one based on the requirements posted on the Website.

​

11. Changes

We may change our fees at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our Website and/or sending you a notification by email.

​

​

​

​

LIABILITY

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume full responsibility for any loss that results from your use of the Website and the Service, including any downloads from the Website. We and our Team won’t be liable for any indirect, punitive, special, or consequential damages under any circumstances, even if they’re based on negligence or we’ve been advised of the possibility of those damages. Our total liability for all claims made about the Service in any month will be no more than what you paid us for the Service the month before.

​

19. No Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide the material on the Website and the Service as is. That means we don’t provide warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

​

Warranties of Merchantability

Since people use Viability for a variety of reasons, and may find varying degree of utility from the Service, we can’t guarantee that it will meet specific needs.

​

20. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our Team harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from any claims you make that aren’t allowed under these Terms due to a “Limitation of Liability” or other provision.

​

21. Attorney Fees

If we file an action against you claiming you breached these Terms and we prevail, we’re entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and any damages or other relief we may be awarded.

​

22. Liquidated Damages

In some cases, a breach of these Terms could cause damages, but proving the actual damages would be impossible. These cases will result in liquidated damages, which are a reasonable pre-estimate of the damages including; If you don’t pay an amount due within thirty (30) days after we send you a late payment notice, then the liquidated damages will be three times the total amount you paid us over the past 12 months, but not less than $350 plus the amount owed.

​

23. Equitable Relief

If you violate these Terms then we may seek injunctive relief (meaning we may request a court order to stop you) or other equitable relief.

​

24. Subpoena Fees

If we have to provide information in response to a subpoena related to your account, then we may charge you for our costs. These fees may include attorney and employee time spent retrieving the records, preparing documents, and participating in a deposition.

​

25. Disclaimers

We and our Team aren’t responsible for the behaviour of any advertisers, linked websites, or other Members.

​

​

FINE PRINT

26. Notice to U.S. Government End Users

The Software and Website, including all documentation, are “Commercial Items,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, and consist of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation.” The Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation

are licensed to U.S. Government end users:

1. only as Commercial Items,
2. with the same rights as all other end users, and 3. according to the Terms.

Published and Unpublished rights are reserved under the copyright laws of Australia. The manufacturer is Viability Solutions, 100 Pirie Street, Adelaide, SA 5000, Australia.

Notice to U.S. Government End Users

This part will matter to you if you’re affiliated with the U.S. government.

​

27. Assignments

You may not assign any of your rights under this agreement to anyone else. We may assign our rights to any other individual or entity at our discretion.

​

28. Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Australia and any claim made by either party against the other which in any way arises out of these terms and conditions will be heard in South Australia and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of those Courts.

​

29. Force Majeure

We won’t be held liable for any delays or failure in performance of any part of the Service, from any cause beyond our control. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, changes to law or regulations, embargoes, war, terrorist acts, riots, fires, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, floods, strikes, power blackouts, volcanic action, unusually severe weather conditions, and acts of hackers or third-party internet service providers.

​

30. Survivability

Even if this Agreement is terminated, the following sections will continue to apply: Proprietary Rights Owned by Us, Proprietary Rights Owned by You, Compliance with Laws, Limitation of Liability, No Warranties, Indemnity, Jurisdiction, Severability, and Entire Agreement.

​

31. Severability

If it turns out that a section of this Agreement isn’t enforceable, then that section will be removed or edited as little as necessary, and the rest of the Terms will still be valid.

​

32. Interpretation

The headers and sidebar text are provided only to make this agreement easier to read and understand. The fact that we wrote these Terms won’t affect the way this Agreement is interpreted.

​

33. Amendments and Waiver

Amendments or changes to these Terms won’t be effective until we post revised Terms on the Website. That aside, additional terms may apply to certain features of the Service (the “Additional Terms”). The Additional Terms will be considered incorporated into these Terms when you activate the feature. Where there’s a conflict between these Terms and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control. If we don’t immediately take action on a violation of these Terms, we’re not giving up any rights under the Terms, and we may still take action at some point.

​

34. No Changes in Terms at Request of Member

Because we have so many Members, we can’t change these Terms for any one Member or group. If we did that, keeping up with the changes would be a logistical nightmare. So no changes, no exceptions.

​

35. Further Actions

You’ll provide all documents and take any actions necessary to meet your obligations under these Terms.

​

36. Notification of Security Breach

In the event of a security breach that may affect you or anyone on your database lists (each a “List”), we’ll notify you of the breach and provide a description of what happened. If we determine, and notify you, that you need to forward all or part of that information to anyone on your Lists, you’ll promptly do it.

​

37. Notices

Any notice to you will be effective when we send it to the last email or physical address you gave us or posted on our Website. Any notice to us will be effective when delivered to us: Attn. Viability Solutions Pty Ltd, (Viability) 44 Waymouth St, Adelaide, SA 5000, Australia, or any addresses as we may later post on the Website.

​

38. Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy (which are incorporated into these Terms by reference), and any Additional Terms you’ve agreed to make up the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
