Parent Teacher Online (PTO) is offered to you by Parent Teacher Online Limited (Registered Number 08079855), a wholly owned subsidiary of Educonnex Pty Limited (Educonnex), conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms and conditions contained herein.

Your use of PTO constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions. Educonnex reserves the right to change these terms and conditions, and undertakes to notify you by email if this should occur. A Client must complete the new school registration process and provide Educonnex with current, complete, and accurate information as set out in the PTO Registration Form.

All users are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their password and User ID.

Furthermore, the users are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under their account. Users agree to notify Educonnex immediately of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security. Educonnex will not be liable for any loss that users may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge.

However, users could be held liable for losses incurred by Educonnex or related parties if users provide unauthorised access to another person or unauthorised party. Users may not use anyone else’s account at any time.

A “Set Up” Fee must be paid once at the commencement of the use of PTO.

This fee is only charged once in the lifetime of the school on the basis that PTO is used at least once within each 12 month billing period. The billing year is each 12 month period, based on the date and month of your initial PTO registration.

Educonnex reserves the right to charge a client a new Set Up Fee if PTO is not used at least once in each billing period, or if a Client cancels their subscription and re-subscribes at a later point in time.

An Annual Subscription will be liable, and payable for 12 months access to PTO.

The first 12 month period is measured from the date that the PTO service Registration Form is received by Educonnex from the Client.
At the conclusion of each 12 month period, any of the Client’s nominated PTO administrators will be required to complete a renewal of the subscription, for the next 12 month Annual Subscription period.

This renewal process must be completed each year before regular administrative access to PTO is restored for the next year. Subsequent 12-month periods for an Annual Subscription will commence from the date that the renewal process is completed.

The Annual Subscription Fee will vary from time to time in line with Educonnex subscription pricing, as well as any written agreed arrangements between the parties, which includes email communications. Invoices for an Annual Subscription will be issued at the commencement of parent bookings for the first event within the 12 month period.

All invoices for PTO are payable within 7 days of issuance. Educonnex reserves the right to terminate a Client’s access to PTO where invoices are more than 1 month overdue, such termination may lead to the irretrievable deletion of existing data.

Other fees and charges including those related to the provision of other services, or services provided by third parties, may become liable from time to time. Any such charges will be advised in writing prior to provision of the product or service.

Subject to assessment by Educonnex, a Client may opt to enter into a contracted term. Should the Client wish to terminate their service prior to the expiry of the contracted term, Educonnex retains the right to immediately receive in full any remaining unpaid Annual Subscription charges up until the scheduled expiry date of the contracted term.
