3. Account registration

To use the Platform, you must create an account with accurate, complete information. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your login credentials confidential
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access

You must be at least 18 years old and have legal authority to enter into a binding contract.

Administrative access. To provide support, investigate or resolve technical issues, maintain the security and integrity of the Platform, or comply with a legal obligation, authorised Rapid Intelligence Systems personnel may access your account and its contents - including logging in to your account - where reasonably necessary for those purposes. Such access is limited to what is reasonably necessary and is restricted to personnel on a need-to-know basis.

4. Trial period

New accounts may start a free trial. Add a plan to your cart, create an account, and provide a payment method via Stripe - you are not charged until the trial ends. The standard trial period is 14 days. Accounts created via a referral or promotional link may receive an extended trial period (up to 30 days) as specified at the time of signup. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription begins automatically and your chosen plan's monthly fee is charged. You may cancel at any time during the trial via your account dashboard to avoid being charged.

5. Subscriptions and payment

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment method via Stripe on a recurring monthly basis.

• All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD). We are not currently registered for GST, so no GST is charged on our fees
• If we register for GST in the future, GST will be added to fees as required by law, with notice provided in accordance with this clause
• Failed payments result in a 7-day grace period, after which access may be suspended
• You are responsible for keeping your payment details up to date

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' written notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

6. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time via the account dashboard or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer pro-rata refunds for unused portions of a billing period.

Following cancellation, account data is retained for 90 days for export, then permanently deleted.
