4.7 Audit Right
Sailias Technology (or its authorised auditor) shall be entitled, from time to time, to audit the Customer’s (including Authorised Users’) activities, use of the Platform and Services to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any such audit shall be conducted at Sailias Technology's cost unless a material breach is identified, in which case the Customer shall reimburse reasonable audit costs.

Customer agrees that it is their responsibility to check the Third Party Terms from time to time for any additional terms which may apply to the use of the Services, and comply with such Third Party Terms.
5. SUBSCRIPTION AND FEES
5.1 Customer Categories, Subscription Fees, and Pricing
The Platform recognises three (3) distinct categories of Customer, each with different Fee obligations as follows:
(a) Brand Customer. Brand Customers are the primary subscribers to the Platform and utilise the Platform's decision infrastructure for sponsorship identification, search, evaluation, management, and tracking and measuring for a brand subscription fee as set out in the applicable Subscription (the "Brand Subscription Fee").
(b) Additional Contract Upload Fees for Brand Customers. Where a Brand Customer wishes to upload additional sponsorship contracts to the Track and Measure functionality beyond the one (1) Contract Upload included in the Brand Subscription Fee, Contract Upload fees shall apply as set out on the Platform depending on the type of contract: Usage Fees for additional Contract Uploads are incurred at the moment a Contract Upload is successfully submitted to and accepted by the Platform. Sailias Technology may invoice Usage Fees at point-of-use or monthly in arrears, as specified in the applicable Subscription. A Contract Upload is classified as a "Rightsholder Contract Upload" if the counterparty to the sponsorship arrangement is a Rightsholder Customer or an entity holding sponsorship rights; otherwise, it is classified as an "Influencer Contract Upload" if the counterparty is an Influencer Customer or an individual content creator. If classification is disputed, Sailias Technology shall act reasonably and in good faith, and any reclassification shall apply prospectively only. All Fees are set out in your Subscription.
(c) Rightsholder Customers and Influencer Customers. Rightsholder Customers and Influencer Customers do not use the Platform's decision infrastructure for searching, matching, comparing, or analysing sponsorship opportunities; rather, they maintain Profiles and provide data on the Platform to be discovered and evaluated by Brand Customers. The consideration provided by Rightsholder Customers and Influencer Customers in exchange for their access to the Platform is the grant of the NIL licence and the provision of Customer Content, Profile Data, and other information as set out in Sections 7 and 8 of these Terms.
Sailias Technology reserves the right to modify Fees, and the scope of included services at any time, subject to Section 5.5. Any changes to Fees shall not affect the pricing for any current or paid Subscription Period.
5.2 Payment Terms
Fees are payable in advance for each Subscription Period (monthly or annually, as selected by the Customer) by the payment method designated at the time of Subscription. Payment is due upon invoice or, for automated payments, on the date specified in the Subscription confirmation. All invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription.
5.3 Non-Refundable Fees
Except as expressly set out in these Terms or as required by applicable Law, all Fees are non-refundable. Subscription Fees are non-refundable once the Subscription Period has commenced. Usage Fees for additional Contract Uploads are non-refundable once the Contract Upload has been processed by the Platform, except where the Platform materially fails to perform the Track and Measure service for that Contract Upload (in which case the sole remedy, subject to mandatory law, shall be re-processing of the Contract Upload or crediting the applicable Usage Fee to the Brand Customer's account). Nothing in this Section 5.3 excludes or limits other rights which cannot be limited or excluded by applicable Law.
5.4 Currency and Taxes
Unless otherwise specified, all Fees are quoted in Australian dollars (AUD). Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, duties, levies, and similar charges, including but not limited to goods and services tax (GST), value added tax (VAT), sales tax, and withholding tax, all of which shall be payable by the Customer in addition to the Fees. Where Sailias Technology is required to collect tax, the applicable tax will be added to the Customer’s invoice.
5.5 Price Changes
Sailias Technology may increase Fees upon not less than fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice to the Customer. For Customers on annual Subscription plans, any price increase shall take effect from the commencement of the next Renewal Term and be deemed to have immediately been updated in the Subscription. If the Customer does not agree to a price increase, the Customer may terminate the Subscription by providing written notice before the Renewal Term commences, and such termination shall take effect at the end of the current Subscription Period.
5.6 Late Payment Consequences
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Sailias Technology, if the Customer fails to pay any Fees when due: (a) Sailias Technology may charge interest on the overdue amount, accruing on a daily basis, at an annual rate of 2% over the then-current base lending rate of the central bank in the Customer’s location from time to time, calculated from the due date until the date of actual full payment; (b) Sailias Technology may cancel, suspend or restrict the Customer’s access to the Platform upon fourteen (14) days’ written notice of non-payment; and (c) the Customer shall reimburse Sailias Technology for all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in collecting overdue amounts.
5.7 Suspension for Non-Payment
Notwithstanding Clause 5.6, if any Fees remain unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after the due date, Sailias Technology may, without liability, immediately cancel or suspend, without notice, the Customer’s and all associated Authorised Users’ access to the Platform until all outstanding amounts (including any accrued interest) have been paid in full. Suspension shall not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay outstanding Fees.
5.8 Free Trial Provisions
Sailias Technology may, at its sole discretion, offer free trial access to the Platform to the Customer (the "Trial Period"). During the Trial Period, the Customer shall be subject to these Terms in their entirety. Unless the Customer subscribes to a paid Subscription before the expiry of the Trial Period, access shall (or at the discretion of Sailias Technology may), be automatically terminated at the end of the Trial Period without further notice.

This information may be viewed by all Sailias Technology Platform users and website users. Should you have any objections or queries, please contact us at info@sailias.com.
9. PLATFORM INTELLIGENCE AND ALGORITHMIC OUTPUTS
9.1 Proprietary Algorithms
The Platform utilises proprietary artificial intelligence, machine learning models, natural language processing systems, and algorithmic engines (collectively, the "Proprietary Algorithms") to generate Scores, match results, comparisons, performance analytics, predictions, recommendations, and other Output Data. The Proprietary Algorithms are the exclusive property of Sailias Technology and constitute Confidential Information and trade secrets. The specific methodologies, weightings, data sources, and computational processes underlying the Proprietary Algorithms are proprietary and shall not be disclosed to Customers.
9.2 Outputs Are Recommendations Only
The Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that all Platform Outputs, including Scores, match results, compatibility assessments, performance analytics, benchmarks, recommendations, and predictions, are provided solely as decision-support tools and informational resources. Platform Outputs are NOT final decisions, guarantees, endorsements, or professional advice. Customers must exercise their own independent professional judgment when making sponsorship decisions and should not rely solely on Platform Outputs. Platform Outputs do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or accounting advice, and Customers are advised to consult appropriate professional advisors before making material business decisions.
9.3 Customer oversight over Outputs
While Sailias Technology uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the quality and reliability of Platform Outputs, the Customer acknowledges that: (a) Scores and Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions; (b) Platform Outputs are based on available data and may not reflect all relevant factors; (c) algorithmic models are inherently probabilistic and may produce different results under different conditions; (d) the accuracy of Outputs is dependent upon the quality, completeness, and timeliness of the underlying data, including Customer Content and Third Party Content; (e) past performance data and historical trends are not reliable indicators of future outcomes; and (f) Sailias Technology makes no warranty or representation that Platform Outputs or third party data will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.
Customers remain solely responsible for their own business decisions and should consider obtaining independent professional advice where appropriate, including legal, financial, and tax advice.
9.4 Human-in-the-Loop Design
The Platform is designed to augment, and not to replace, human decision-making in the sponsorship industry. All material sponsorship decisions should involve human review and oversight. The Customer acknowledges that the Platform is not designed or intended to make automated decisions that produce legal effects concerning, or that similarly significantly affect, any natural person without meaningful human intervention. Where any Platform Output may have a significant impact on an individual (including, for example, decisions affecting a rights holder’s commercial opportunities), the Customer shall ensure that a qualified human decision-maker reviews the Output before any decision is made or action is taken.
9.5 Non-Discrimination
Sailias Technology shall use commercially reasonable efforts to design, develop, test, and maintain the Proprietary Algorithms in a manner that minimises algorithmic bias based on protected characteristics, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, and national origin. Sailias Technology conducts periodic reviews and audits of its Proprietary Algorithms for potential bias. However, the Customer acknowledges that no algorithmic system can guarantee the complete absence of bias and that Sailias Technology does not warrant that the Proprietary Algorithms are free from all forms of bias.
10. TRANSPARENCY
Sailias Technology shall make available, through the Documentation and/or the Platform, a general explanation of the scoring methodologies and the types of factors considered by the Proprietary Algorithms in generating Platform Outputs. This explanation shall be sufficient to provide Customers with a meaningful understanding of the logic and general principles underlying the Proprietary Algorithms, without disclosing proprietary trade secrets, specific weightings, or detailed technical implementations. Customers may request additional information about how specific Outputs were generated, and Sailias Technology shall respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
11.1 Platform Intellectual Property
All Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Platform, including but not limited to the software, source code, object code, algorithms (including Proprietary Algorithms), Sailias Intelligence, databases, data structures, user interfaces, designs, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade dress, Documentation, and all related technology and materials, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Sailias Technology or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers or assigns any Intellectual Property Rights in the Platform to the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that the Platform contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Sailias Technology and that unauthorised use, disclosure, or reproduction of any part of the Platform may cause irreparable harm to Sailias Technology.
11.2 Customer Content Intellectual Property
Subject to the licences granted under Section 7.3 and Section 8, the Customer retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to their original Customer Content. Sailias Technology claims no ownership interest in Customer Content. For the avoidance of doubt, the retention of ownership by the Customer does not limit the scope of the licences granted to Sailias Technology under these Terms, which are necessary for the provision and improvement of the Services.
11.3 Output Data Intellectual Property
As between the parties, Output Data that is generated solely from a Customer's Customer Data and Customer Content shall be owned by that Customer. Sailias Technology retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Platform, Proprietary Algorithms, Sailias Intelligence, and the methodologies, models, and processes used to generate Output Data. Sailias Technology also retains all rights in and to Derivative Data (as defined in Section 11.4) and any aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified data that does not identify the Customer or any individual Customer. The Customer grants Sailias Technology a non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, transmit, display, and store Customer Data and Output Data solely: (a) to provide, maintain, and improve the Services; (b) to generate Derivative Data; and (c) to comply with applicable Law. The Customer shall not publicly disclose Output Data in a manner that reveals the Proprietary Algorithms or Sailias Intelligence methodologies.
11.4 Derivative Data
All Intellectual Property Rights in and to Derivative Data, including anonymised data, aggregated statistical data, benchmarks, indices, and any other data or information created, generated, or derived by Sailias Technology through the processing and analysis of Customer Data, Customer Content, or other data inputs, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Sailias Technology. The Customer has no rights or interests in Derivative Data.
11.5 Feedback
If the Customer provides any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, comments, or other feedback regarding the Platform or the Services ("Feedback"), the Customer hereby assigns to Sailias Technology absolutely all right, title, and interest in and to such Feedback, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, without restriction or obligation of any kind. Sailias Technology shall be free to use, implement, modify, and commercially exploit such Feedback without attribution, compensation, or any duty to account to the Customer. The Customer waives (and agrees not to assert) any and all moral rights in such Feedback to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.
11.6 No Implied Licences
Except for the express licences granted in these Terms, no other licence, right, or interest is granted to the Customer by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Sailias Technology.
11.7 Third-Party Intellectual Property
The Platform may incorporate or utilise third-party software, libraries, frameworks, APIs, data sources, and other components that are subject to separate licence terms. The Customer agrees to comply with all applicable Third Party Terms. Sailias Technology shall not be liable for any third-party components to the extent that liability is excluded or limited under the applicable third-party licence. A list of material third-party components and their applicable terms is available in the Documentation or upon written request.
11.8 Copyright Infringement and DMCA Procedures
Sailias Technology respects the Intellectual Property Rights of others and expects Customers to do the same. If any person believes that their copyrighted work has been used on the Platform in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, they may submit a notice of claimed infringement to Sailias Technology’s designated copyright agent. Notices of claimed infringement should include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material on the Platform; (c) the claimant’s contact information; (d) a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorised; (e) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and the claimant is authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and (f) the claimant’s physical or electronic signature. Sailias Technology’s designated copyright agent may be contacted at the address set out in Section 26.3. This procedure is provided in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 512), the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), and equivalent provisions under UK and EU law.

The Customer shall ensure that it has all necessary and appropriate consents and notices in place to enable the lawful transfer of any Personal Data to Sailias Technology for the duration and purposes of the agreement.
12.4 Cross-Border Data Transfers
The Customer acknowledges that the Platform is operated from Australia and that Customer Data and Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside the Customer’s country of residence. Sailias Technology shall ensure that all cross-border transfers of Personal Data are conducted in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws, including:

Sailias Technology shall assist the Customer, at the Customer’s expense, with the fulfilment of the Customer’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising individuals' rights under applicable privacy and data protection Laws, together with the Customer’s obligations regarding data security, notification by the Customer of Personal Data breaches to the supervisory authority, communication by the Customer of Personal Data breaches to the affected individuals, data protection impact assessments, and prior consultation with the supervisory authority.

Sailias Technology shall retain Personal Data and Customer Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and shall, at the choice of the Customer, delete or return all such Personal Data after the end of the provision of services involving the processing of such data, and delete existing copies unless applicable law requires storage of such Personal Data.
12.7 Sub-Processors
The Customer hereby provides its general authorisation for Sailias Technology to engage other processors to carry out processing activities on behalf of the Customer. Sailias Technology shall notify the Customer of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of such other processors. If, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, the Customer notifies Sailias Technology in writing of any objections on reasonable grounds to the proposed addition or replacement: (a) Sailias Technology shall take reasonable steps to address the objections raised by the Customer, and shall provide the Customer with a reasonable written explanation of the steps taken; and (b) if, having received from Sailias Technology a reasonable explanation to address the Customer’s objections, the Customer nevertheless objects to the addition or replacement, Sailias Technology shall not proceed with the addition or replacement with respect to the processing of any Personal Data on the Customer’s behalf, and may, at the Customer’s cost, propose the engagement of a different processor in accordance with this clause. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that where the Customer objects to the appointment of a processor pursuant to this clause, Sailias Technology may be prevented from providing the associated services to the Customer, and Sailias Technology shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of its inability to provide all or part of such services.
Where Sailias Technology engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on behalf of the Customer, materially equivalent data protection obligations as set out herein shall be imposed on that other processor. Where that other processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations, Sailias Technology shall remain fully liable to the Customer, subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out herein, for the performance of that other processor's obligations.
12.8 Security Measures
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of individuals, Sailias Technology shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk and take steps to ensure that any individuals acting under its authority who have access to such Personal Data do not process them except on instructions from the Customer, unless they are required to do so by applicable Law.
