1. Accept Terms of Service

Our website (purposetech.io) (Website), and platform (together the Platform) is operated and owned by Purpose Tech Limited (N.Z. coy no. 8263332) and its licensor/s (as relevant). In these Terms, Purpose Tech, we, us or our means Purpose Tech Limited, and any references to you or your means you, the person or entity accessing the Platform and/or Service (defined in clause 2.1).

These terms of service (as amended under clause 1.3) (Terms) apply to you when you access and/or use our Platform and Service, and set out how you may use and access our Platform and Service, and/or create a User Account (defined in clause 3.1). By doing so, you are agreeing to these Terms and entering into a legally binding agreement with us. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not create a User Account and must cease accessing and using our Platform and/or Service immediately.

We may amend these Terms in whole or in part at any time. The Terms (as amended) are effective immediately after publication on the Website (unless a change is required by law to be effective on a different date). Your continued access and/or use of the Platform / Service indicates your continued acceptance of the Terms, as amended. If you do not agree with the amended terms, you must stop using the Platform and/or Service.

2. The Service

2.1 The Service is a technology platform optimised for impact organisations, that modernises and streamlines your volunteer and event management, with the features and capability as explained on the Website at purposetech.io. At a high level this enables you to:

  1. offer registration and self-management to volunteers or event attendees;
  2. manage volunteers within an area with multiple events;
  3. setup charity fundraising, event and campaign management;
  4. integrate your data with third party systems such as Salesforce.

(together, the Service).

2.2 We regularly update and enhance the Platform and the Service, including to provide further features and security updates. We may update the Platform and the Service at any time, without notice, and you will be required to accept those updates, in order to keep using the Platform and the Service or to access its latest features and security updates.

2.3 We may offer, from time to time:

  1. New "beta" features or tools for users to try out. Such beta features or tools are offered solely for experimental purposes, without warranty of any kind, and may be modified or discontinued at our sole discretion; and
  2. A free trial for the Service (and may modify or cancel the free trial) at our discretion. If offered, and you sign up for a free trial, you will be required to provide your billing information at the start of the free trial period; however, you will not be charged until the free trial period has ended. At the end of a free trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription Fees for the Service you have selected. We currently do not offer a free trial of the Services.

2.4 Integration into Salesforce is available as a separate, optional, paid add-on. If you are interested in this feature, you will need to engage your own Salesforce consultant to undertake the integration work. It is your responsibility to ensure that the integration meets your requirements. For clarity, Purpose Tech is not responsible or liable for any errors, disruptions or any other issues that may arise out of the Salesforce integration. Purpose Tech will undertake a user acceptance testing process with you and your consultant to help ensure a quality integration. Purpose Tech can also introduce you to an approved consultant.
