2 Use of Product
2.1 Product Restrictions. Customer must ensure that:
(a) neither Customer nor any End User reverse engineers, decompiles or disassembles the Product, views or gains access to the source code to the Product, or uses the Product to provide any product or service that is an alternative, substitute or competitor to the Product;

4 Verification and Taxes
4.1 Verification. Zetaris may on 14 days notice conduct an audit of Customer s use of the Product and compliance with the Agreement from time to time during the Subscription Term. Customer must provide all access to the Environment (in the case of the Software), End Users, records, premises and personnel reasonably requested by Zetaris in connection with any such audit. Zetaris must bear the costs of any such audit unless the audit reveals that Customer has used, or permitted the use of, the Product in breach of the Agreement, in which case, Customer must immediately:
(a) pay to Zetaris all additional Fees payable in respect of any excess use (at Zetaris then current list prices) in addition to Zetaris reasonable audit costs; and
(b) take all other steps required to remedy the breach of the Agreement and prevent its recurrence at its own cost.
4.2 Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, withholdings, duties and other amounts imposed by taxing authorities. Where a supply is a taxable supply, all amounts payable must be increased by the amount of GST, VAT, sales tax, or other consumption tax payable in relation to the supply. All such taxes must be paid at the time any payment for any supply to which it relates is payable (provided a valid tax invoice has been issued for the supply).
5 Intellectual Property Rights
5.1 Ownership. Each party will retain its Pre-existing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and nothing in this agreement assigns or transfers the Pre-existing IPR of one party to the other.
5.2 Developed IPR. Both parties will jointly own all developed IPR for the key use cases immediately from creation (including part creation). Developed IPR may rely on pre-existing Zetaris IPR to function and therefore this element of the key use case is retained by Zetaris. Both parties can utilise the developed IPR included in the key use cases at any time for any purpose. Any key use case that relies on pre-existing Zetaris IPR can only be used whilst the monthly fee for that particular use case is being paid by Customer.
5.3 Consents. Both parties must procure from any customers or representatives all necessary consents to all acts in relation to all key use cases made and where any act would otherwise infringe moral rights with respect to any key use cases.

(b) claim by any person that use of the Product by Customer in accordance with the Agreement infringes any copyright or patent owned by that person in Australia (IP Claim).
6 Privacy and data protection
6.1 Privacy. Each party must comply with all Privacy Laws applicable to that party (whether as controller or processor) in Processing any Personal Data comprised in the Customer Data. Customer acknowledges that Personal Data, other than that comprised in the Customer Data, will be Processed in accordance with Zetaris privacy policy.
6.2 Customer Data in Azure. The Customer data in the Azure account will be securely configured according to Azure recommended security standards plus any additional security requirements specified in writing by Customer.

Zetaris commits to notify Customer within 24 hours of being made aware of any data security incident. All Customer data used during the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) will be assumed as non-sensitive data solely to be used to demonstrate MVP requirements.

(e) Zetaris may make a notification or communication about the Data Breach if Customer fails to do so and Zetaris is required to do so under applicable Privacy Laws.
