Terms of Service
This terms of service agreement governs your access to, and use of, the websites, services and applications which are owned, operated or provided by or on behalf of CustomerHub.
Last updated: November 14, 2021
By using the CustomerHub Services (as defined below) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”).
This Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and any applicable DPA collectively forms your agreement (the “Agreement”) and governs your access to, and use of, the websites, services, applications and integrations (collectively, the “Services”) which are owned, operated or provided by or on behalf of CustomerHub (“CustomerHub”).
As used in this Agreement, “you” and “your” refers to you, the person accessing the Services; “we” means (and “us”, “our”, “ours” and “ourselves” refer to) CustomerHub; and “party” or “parties” refers to both you and us. The effective date of this Agreement is when you accept it through use of our services, in accordance with the terms and conditions that are set out below.
IMPORTANT! YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IS SUBJECT TO LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU PROCEED. ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR SIGNATURE AND INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THAT YOU INTEND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
You can view, print, download or save this Agreement at any time.
We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without notice, by updating this Agreement, and such changes will be effective as of the date these updates (or an updated version of this Agreement) is posted to our website. We may provide notice to you of material revisions by means of a general notice on our website. Your continued use of the Services after such revisions are posted will signify your agreement to these revised terms. Therefore, you should visit this page periodically to review this Agreement.
Our Services
We develop and make available to you apps which are designed to enhance your e-commerce platform. Our eCommerce apps are built to provide additional value-add features to your existing storefront. We can also custom develop apps for your store, provide webmaster services, and many other e-commerce services.
CustomerHub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide technical support for Services. We are not responsible for providing technical support for any apps, products, or services provided to you by third parties.
Payments & Terms
All Services are provided on a per store basis, meaning you will have to purchase Services on an individual store basis. For example, if you have two stores, and you wish to use our app for both stores, you must purchase two subscriptions to that app.
Billing for the CustomerHub App is performed based on your selected billing period, either Monthly (every 30 days) or Annually (every 365 days). Your charges are based on the count of customers in your Shop. Monthly Billing plans will automatically scale up, and can not scale down. For Annual plans - when you approach and go over your allocated customers for your plan (detailed in your agreed billing with Shopify) we will notify you that you need to upgrade your annual plan on the next billing cycle. You will have 30 days to approve this new billing before we will disable access to the app until the updated billing charge is agreed or you change to monthly billing.
Unless otherwise indicated, the sale is finalized when you conclude the purchase of the Service, and your method of payment will be charged following your predefined & selected billing cycle in Shopify. When you make a payment, you confirm that you are entitled to use the method which you have used to make the payment.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CustomerHub and its officers, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, licensors and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, its “Others”), against any chargeback costs (plus any taxes or related fees) which we are required to pay, as a result of a payment dispute with you or in relation to a payment you have made to us for any Services.
All payments are made payable in USD (United States Dollars).
Trial Period
We may offer a trial period for certain Services before being required to purchase or subscribe. The duration and specific terms of the trial period will be published to our websites and during the Services install process. You will not be charged for the Services until the trial period has expired.
You agree that even though you may have access to the Services on a trial basis, free of charge, you will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your continued use of the Services following the conclusion of the trial period constitutes your consent to be charged for those Services and to the provisions in this Agreement.
Right to use the Services and Intellectual Property
Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to install and use the Services for the purpose of operating your online store. This right terminates upon termination of this Agreement or any other agreements previously provided to you by us, as may be applicable. For certainty, if you uninstall all our apps, your Agreement is terminated automatically. Any and all rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us, and this Agreement does not confer to you a proprietary interest in any Services.

Limitation of Liability
THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, under no circumstances shall you be entitled to recover any special, incidental, consequential or indirect damages from CustomerHub or its Others, which you may suffer arising out of, caused by, or in connection with, the use, or inability to use, the Services, any inaccuracy, incompleteness or incorrectness contained in the materials displayed, accessed or used as part of the Services, or your reliance or acting upon the materials used as part of the Services, including any loss or damages in the nature of or relating to lost business, lost savings, lost data and/or profits, regardless of the cause and whether arising in contract, tort, in equity, at law or otherwise, and whether or not CustomerHub has or had been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages. Unless otherwise agreed to by you and CustomerHub in writing, under no circumstances shall the liability of CustomerHub and its Others to you, for damages or losses suffered by you arising out of, related to or caused by, the Services, or the use thereof, exceed a maximum equal to the amount actually paid by you for the Services in the three (3) months’ period preceding such losses or damages. You acknowledge and agree that the payments paid by you for the Services reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this Agreement and that CustomerHub would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on liability.
You agree to release, remise and acquit CustomerHub and its Others from any claims, actions, demands, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever, whether in contract, negligence or tort, at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise, howsoever caused, with respect to your use of, or our operation of, the Services, except as may be set out in the preceding paragraph.

Cancellation, Termination & Refund Policy
If you breach any provision of this Agreement (as determined by us, in our sole discretion), we may terminate this Agreement and you may no longer use the Services. We may, at any time, and for any reason, with or without cause, and in our sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate (in whole or in part) your permission to use the Services and this Agreement, all without notice or liability to you or to any other person.
We shall not be responsible for refunding or otherwise paying any funds, amounts or credits that may be owed to you if we have suspended or terminated your permission to use the Services or any part thereof. We reserve the right to cease, suspend or interrupt operation of, or access to, the Services or any part thereof, and we shall not be required to provide any notice in respect of such cessation, suspension or interruption of access, nor shall we have any liability for such cessation, suspension or interruption of access.
While we do not offer any refunds on the Services and all sales are final, you may cancel your subscription(s) at any time for no additional charges. Simply uninstall the app(s) (or other Services) that you no longer want to use and your next invoice will automatically be adjusted to exclude the app(s) (or other Services) you uninstall (provided that, in the case of subscription based Services, your invoice will be adjusted during the first billing cycle after you uninstall the app). If you no longer use any of our apps or Services and you no longer owe us any fees, you won’t receive any further invoices. Upon termination, all payments for Services received pursuant to this Agreement shall become due immediately.
When the Services are terminated by you or by us, for any reason, we will stop providing the Services to you, and you will no longer be able to access your CustomerHub account. You shall uninstall and/or delete any apps or other software you have downloaded from us. The termination of the Services may result in the loss of content which is associated with your account and we are not responsible for storing or providing you copies of such content. Personal data tied to your CustomerHub account will be permanently deleted or anonymized within 60 days of the termination date.
Provisions which, by their nature, should survive termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, obligations you have to pay or indemnify us, limitations on our liability and any releases of us, terms regarding confidentiality, ownership of intellectual property rights and rules which govern disputes between us), shall survive termination of this Agreement.

You further acknowledge and agree that our use of your Customers’ personal data for these purposes is in our capacity as your agent, only.
Customer Data
CustomerHub confirms the following with regards to your Customer's Data & Security:
- We save no customer data anywhere on our systems and only pass it through to Shopify's API's in the scenarios outlined below.
- We process only the minimum personal data required to provide our app's functionality to our merchants.
- The customer data processed within our app is done so through to the Shopify API by passing the customer id and relevant customer data when a customer is updating their profiles & preferences within their customer account page using our app. Our app will also read and update any Customer metafields that you have added and linked up to our app - again this is processed when a customer updates their profiles within our app. All other customer related data (orders etc) is processed on the Shopify frontend using liquid and doest not interact with our systems.
- Customer data processing is limited to the cases from point 3 above.
- If you wish to have your merchant related data removed from our systems, you only need to uninstall our app, and we will then recieve a REDACT webhook from shopify within 2 days and remove your shop data.
- We run daily backups of production systems to protect against catastrophic loss or human error.
- We host our systems on Google Cloud Platform, see more information on their security here cloud.google.com/security/
- We currently encrypt all data travelling between you and our services with transport layer security (TLS). We ensure that we are not using outdated and vulnerable standards with known attacks.
- When software vulnerabilities are discovered, the responsible parties fix them and push new releases of that software. We make sure that we are using up-to-date versions of operating systems, kernels, packages, and libraries to avoid known vulnerabilities.
- We use industry best practices to create, review, test, deploy, and administer our products. Code is stored in version control systems that provide audit history and redundant storage. We review code before it is committed to production, providing a chain of trust involving more than one employee.
Confidentiality
We will not sell, share, or rent your personal data to or with any third party.
Your records are regarded as confidential and therefore will not be divulged to any unaffiliated third party, other than our payment gateway in order to process your payment(s), and as is otherwise necessary for the delivery of the Services and/or if legally required to do so, to the appropriate authorities. Further information on the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal data is available in our Privacy Policy.

International Terms
If you are not an Australian resident and you are accessing our Services from outside of Australia, you agree to transfer certain information outside your home country to us, and that you will follow all the laws that apply to you.
We provide our Services outside of Australia; however, our servers and operations are located primarily in the United States, and our policies and procedures are based primarily on Australian law.

By using the Services you certify that the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are using the Services, permit the use of it, and you are responsible for complying with all local laws in your jurisdiction.

We will not be liable for the failure or delay in our performance of our obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to: a) acts of God; or b) failure or disruptions in third-party-controlled or operated communications facilities; or c) worms, viruses and other disabling or disruptive software, communications or files.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. We may assign this Agreement without restriction. You may not assign your rights under this Agreement without our prior written permission and any attempt by you to do so shall be void. This Agreement is binding on you and us, and your and our respective successors (including any successor by reason of amalgamation of any party), heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns, as the case may be.
