If you choose to register for the Website, the App, and/or the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. You may also access the Website, App, and/or Service by accessing certain social networking services (“SNSs”) through which you have connected to the Website (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”), or an account with the provider of the App for the user’s mobile device. Any personal information provided by you as part of the sign-up process for the Service will be used and stored in accordance with the Bizzio Privacy Policy. We also collect email addresses from any users of the Service (the “User”) that downloads content from the Website.
- b. Account Ownership. If you register for the Service on behalf of a business organization, that business organization will be the legal and beneficial account owner. For the purpose of these Terms of Service, regardless of whether you register for an account as an individual, or on behalf of an organization, the billing contact person will be the default account owner (the “Account Owner”). The Account Owner will have certain rights within the account, including the right to cancel the account, delete information from the account, and appoint administrators. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you acknowledge and agree that the term Account Owner does not convey or connote ownership rights or any other property interest in an account, even where you are designated as the Account Owner, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Bizzio. Although the Account Owner can also appoint a new Account Owner if the billing contact is not the appropriate person to manage the account, in the event of a dispute regarding entitlement to access an account, we reserve the right to request documentation to determine or confirm account ownership. Documentation may include, but is not limited to, a scanned copy of your business license, government issued photo ID, the last four digits of the credit card on file, or any other information that Bizzio may reasonably request in its discretion. Bizzio retains the right to determine, in our sole judgment, who the rightful Account Owner is and may transfer an account to the person we consider is the rightful Account Owner. If we are unable to reasonably determine the rightful Account Owner, Bizzio reserves the right to temporarily disable an account until resolution has been determined between the disputing parties.
- c. Employee Users. Depending on your Bizzio subscription plan, the Account Owner may be able to create additional accounts allowing other authorized people, such as their employees, (“Employee Users”) to access their business’ account. Employee Users will be invited by the Account Owner or other authorized individual to create a Bizzio account. Each Employee User will be required to provide their full legal name and a valid email address, and such other contact information as Bizzio may reasonably require from time to time. Account Owners and administrators can set the permissions and level of access for each Employee User in its account. The Account Owner is responsible for: (a) ensuring its employees, or other authorized agents or third parties, comply with these Terms of Service; (b) any breach of these Terms of Service by its employees, or other authorized agents or third parties; and (c) ensuring Employee User access is up to date and reflect any changes to the status of authorized individuals.

Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your account on the Website, the App, and/or Service. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable, or the third-party service provider terminates Bizzio’s access to such Third-Party Account or Bizzio terminates access, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the Website, the App, and/or Service. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to have your Third-Party Account linked to your account, please contact us at hello@bizzio.com.Au. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND BIZZIO DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED TO IT BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT YOU HAVE SET IN SUCH THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS. You, and not Bizzio, will be responsible for any and all costs and charges associated with your use of any Third-Party Accounts. Bizzio enables these Third-Party Accounts merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such Third-Party Accounts does not imply an endorsement or recommendation.

3. FEES, PAYMENTS, REFUNDS, UPGRADING, AND DOWNGRADING.
Bizzio App subscribers please refer to Section 14 below for details relating to
subscription plans, fees, and service cancellation through the App.
- a. Information on the current fees for Users who are registered for the Service can be found in the billing section of your account. If you are a new User or prospective User of the Service and would like more information about our pricing models and products, please see our pricing page, located at https://bizzio.com.au///pricing/. From time to time, we may offer a free trial of the Service, in our sole discretion granting access to the Service for a period of time determined by Bizzio. A valid credit card is required for paying accounts. If you sign up for a recurring (e.g., monthly or annual) paid account, and you do not cancel that account before the end of any provided trial period, you will be billed starting on the first day following the trial period. If you cancel prior to the processing of your first invoice (i.e., up to and including the last day of your free trial), your access to the Service will terminate, and your credit card will not be charged.
- b. Automatic Renewal. Your subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with Section 18 below. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Bizzio’s then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless (i) in the case of monthly subscriptions, you cancel your subscription before the Renewal Commencement Date, and (ii) in the case of annual subscriptions, you cancel your subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (or, in the event that you receive a notice from Bizzio that your annual subscription will be automatically renewed, you will have thirty (30) days from the date of the Bizzio notice), by logging in and going to the “Cancel your account” section of your “Account and Billing” page or by notifying Bizzio of the intended termination by phone.
- c. Billing, Changes to Service Tiers & Cancellations The Service is billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and fees are non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade or downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. If you upgrade your account, this will trigger a pro-rated charge which will be processed immediately using the payment method you have provided. If you downgrade your account, we will adjust your fees down as of the next billing cycle. Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of User Content, features, or capacity of your account. Bizzio does not accept any liability for such loss. If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up billing cycle, your account will remain open until the end of the then-current billing cycle, after which the cancellation will take effect and you will not be charged for the next month or be able to access your account. Prices of all services, including but not limited to monthly subscription plan fees to the Service, are subject to change upon fourteen (14) days’ notice from us. Such notice may be provided by email or through an in-App notification. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. If you dispute any charges, you must let Bizzio know within sixty (60) days after the date that Bizzio charges you, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable law.
- d.Collection Costs You are liable for all costs we incur to collect any amounts you owe under these Terms of Services, in addition to the amounts you owe. Collection costs may include attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, applicable interest, and any other related cost

A User’s Credits will expire and will no longer be available on the later of: the date expressed in connection with the promotion (which may be cancelled or discontinued in accordance with this section), the date such User terminates their subscription with Bizzio, or twelve (12) months from the date the Credits are posted in such User’s account.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD BIZZIO AND
ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “BIZZIO PARTIES”)
HARMLESS FROM ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES
(INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES), INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATERIALS SUBMITTED, POSTED,
TRANSMITTED, OR MADE AVAILABLE BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICE AND/OR ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF THESE TERMS

notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding. Bizzio reserves the right to assume the
exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this
provision, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Bizzio’s defense of
such matter. You may not settle or compromise any claim against the Bizzio Parties without Bizzio’s
written consent. This provision does not require you to indemnify Bizzio for any unconscionable
commercial practice by Bizzio or for Bizzio’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation,
concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact in connection with the Website or any
Services provided hereunder.

your account at any time by logging in and going to the “Cancel your account” section of your
“Account and Billing” page or by notifying Bizzio of the intended termination by phone. However,
please see Section 3 above for details that the effect of cancellation has on your payment
obligations. Bizzio may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately
terminate your ability to access the Website or App or portions thereof. Cause for such
termination may include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of these Terms of
Service or any other agreement that you may have with Bizzio (including, without limitation,

(b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by the Account
Owner, (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Website (or any part thereof), (e)

may also include removal of some or all of the materials uploaded by you. On termination, you
may request deletion of certain materials uploaded by you or other Content. To the extent the
data is in Bizzio’s possession, custody, or control, Bizzio will perform such deletion subject
to the retention policy in our Privacy Policy, and upon your request, we will certify the same
in writing. You acknowledge and agree that all terminations may be made by Bizzio in its sole
discretion and that Bizzio shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of
your access to the Website or App or for the removal of any of the materials uploaded by you to
the Website or App. Any termination of these Terms of Service by Bizzio shall be in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies that Bizzio may have.
Sections 6, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25, any outstanding payment obligations, and any other rights or obligations that by their nature should survive, in each case will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms of Service or your account for any reason.

19. AVAILABILITY AND UPDATES.
Bizzio may alter, suspend, or discontinue the Website, App, and/or Service at any
time and for any reason or no reason, without notice, but will endeavor to provide notice of the
same. The Website, App, and/or Service may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance
or malfunction of computer or network equipment or other reasons. Bizzio may periodically add or
update the information and materials on the Website, App, and/or Service without notice. You may
need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use the Website, App, and/or
Service.
20. SECURITY.
- a.Security Generally. Bizzio maintains a security program with appropriate administrative, technical, organizational, and physical security measures designed to protect your Content against unauthorized access, disclosure, and loss. However, information sent or received over the internet is generally insecure and Bizzio cannot and does not make any representation or warranty concerning security of any communication to or from the Website or the App or any representation or warranty regarding the interception by third parties of personal or other information. You are responsible for creating and keeping secure a strong password that you use to access the Service and you are responsible for any activities or actions under the account protected by your password. It is recommended that the password you use to access your account is unique to Bizzio. If you create an account on behalf of a corporation or entity, you are responsible for any actions of administrative users you add to your account and you are liable for any payment obligations that they incur. User accounts are intended for one user only and are not to be shared by multiple users. Bizzio will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these requirements.
- b.Account Security and Fraud Prevention. Bizzio utilizes third-party fraud prediction and detection services to help identify potential threats such as unauthorized account access and fraudulent transactions. These services are further described in the Security Service Terms which form an integral part of this Agreement and certain aspects of these services as they relate to personal information may also be found in our Privacy Policy.
21. CONFIDENTIALITY.
“Confidential Information” means information of a party (“Disclosing Party”) that the
other party (“Receiving Party”) receives in connection with the Service, which based on the
circumstances under which it was disclosed, a reasonable person would believe to be confidential to
the Disclosing Party, including, without limitation, customer information, transactional
information, and any other non-public content posted, transmitted or accessed through the Service
(including, for the avoidance of any doubt, any Beta Services). A Receiving Party shall: (a) limit
access and use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to those of Receiving Party’s
employees, agents, and subcontractors that require such access and use in connection with such
party’s obligations hereunder, who each treat such Confidential Information as provided in this
Section, and who are each subject to obligations of confidentiality to such party that are at least
as stringent as those contained in this Section; (b) not disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information to third parties (except those partners or third party service providers used by us to
provide some or all elements of the Service and who are bound by duties of confidentiality), unless
authorized under this Section; (c) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it
protects its own Confidential Information, but in any event with not less than a reasonable degree
of care; and (d) not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose except as
required to perform its obligations hereunder or as otherwise specifically permitted hereunder.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to
a third party to the extent that such Confidential Information is: (i) previously known to the
Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, without any obligation of
confidentiality; (ii) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement
by the Receiving Party; (iii) rightfully received from a third party under no confidentiality
obligation with respect to the Confidential Information; or (iv) independently developed by the
Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition,
Confidential Information may be disclosed to governments and their agencies under lawful order or
judicial order. In the event that Bizzio receives a request or order to release your Confidential
Information, we can comply with the same without your consent. We may notify you of this matter to
the extent not prohibited by law or the applicable order or unless we deem, in our sole discretion,
that notification could be prejudicial and/or might create or further cause injury or harm to
persons or property, and subject to Section 21(b).
22. RESPONSES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Bizzio will respond to all valid legal requests to the extent permitted by our Terms
of Service and Privacy Policy and Canadian law. Please see our policy on responding to law
enforcement requests here https://bizzio.com.au/response-to-law-enforcement/ for further
information.
Please note that due to the time consuming and costly nature of addressing disclosure requests, we
reserve the right to charge users, on a time and materials basis, for Bizzio’s efforts taken in
response to law enforcement requests initiated either at a user’s request or where compelled to
comply with court orders, subpoenas and other valid requests in respect of a user’s account.
23. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration
Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Bizzio and limits the manner in
which you can seek relief from us.
- a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, the App, and/or the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, the App, and/or the Service, or to any aspect of your relationship with Bizzio, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (ii) you or Bizzio may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
- b. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Bizzio is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at hello@getBizzio.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Bizzio should be sent to Bizzio Inc. dba Bizzio at Address: PO Box 365 Mornington Vic 3191 with a copy to legal@getBizzio.com. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Bizzio and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Bizzio may commence arbitration proceedings. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Bizzio or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Bizzio is entitled.
- c. Arbitration Rules and Forum The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under USD $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Bizzio will pay them for you. In addition, Bizzio will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims totalling less than USD $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by JAMS. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- d. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Bizzio. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms of Service (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- e. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND BIZZIO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Bizzio are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 23(a) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- f. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the Provincial or Federal Courts located in Australia. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
- g. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following Address: PO Box 365 Mornington Vic 3191, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement and by email to Bizzio at legal@getBizzio.com. Your notice must include your name and address, your Bizzio username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Bizzio account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
- Severability. Except as provided in subsection 23(g), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (f) above titled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”) are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such part or parts with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable part or parts, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If any of the provisions of subsection (f) above titled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
- i. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Bizzio.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Bizzio makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Bizzio at the following Address: PO Box 365 Mornington Vic 3191. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
- Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
24. USER DISPUTES.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in
connection with the Service, and Bizzio will have no liability or responsibility with respect
thereto. Bizzio reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with
disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
25. GENERAL TERMS.
These Terms of Service, together with the Bizzio Privacy Policy (and related
jurisdiction-specific privacy notices), the Bizzio Payments Terms of Service, and any other
documents or guidelines incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service, constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties relating to the Website, App, and/or Service and all
related activities. These Terms of Service shall not be modified except by a new posting of
these Terms of Service issued by Bizzio. If any part of these Terms of Service is held to be
unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part shall be deemed severed and shall not affect the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The failure of Bizzio to exercise or
enforce any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of
such right or provision. Any waiver of any right or provision by Bizzio must be in writing and
shall only apply to the specific instance identified in such writing. You agree that regardless
of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to
use of the Service, App, Website, or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year
after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms
of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or
administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent
and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated
and maintained in printed form. You may not assign the Terms of Service, or any rights or
licenses granted hereunder, whether voluntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise without
Bizzio’s prior written consent. We may assign these Terms of Service without restriction. In the
event that you acquire other businesses after the date of the Terms of Service, the employees
and contractors of such businesses may constitute authorized users under the Terms of Service
only if such businesses are not Bizzio’s customers at the time of acquisition (“Non-Bizzio
Acquisitions“). In the event that you acquire other businesses after the date of the Terms of
Service that at the time of acquisition are Bizzio customers (“Bizzio Acquisitions”), all
agreements between Bizzio and the Bizzio Acquisitions (“Acquired Entity Agreements”) shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Nothing in this Section 25
shall be construed to allow the terms of any Acquired Entity Agreement to be assigned to or
applicable to you, your affiliates, or any other business or entity. In other words, the Terms
of Service may be assigned ‘downward’ to your current subsidiaries and future Non-Bizzio
Acquisitions, but no agreement with a Bizzio Acquisition will be altered by virtue of such an
acquisition or may be assigned ‘upward’ for the use of you, your affiliates or any other
business or entity. You will provide prompt written notice to Bizzio in the event of any
Non-Bizzio Acquisition or Bizzio Acquisition. The section titles in these Terms of Service are
for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service,
the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of
limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices
to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you
by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. Bizzio will not be in
default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where
such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist
attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or
unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or
causes beyond Bizzio’s reasonable control. If you have any questions about these Terms of
Service or if you wish to make any complaint or claim with respect to the Website, App or
Service, please contact us at: hello@bizzio.com.Au
