[See also Te Hiku Media Kaitiakitanga License and Privacy Policy]
Kia ora, thank you for your interest in Te Reo Irirangi Māori o Te Hiku o Te Ika’s (“Te Hiku Media” “we,” or “us”) and our Kaituhi software, along with our website at kaituhi.nz, along with our related networks, applications, mobile applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Te Hiku Media regarding your use of the Service. As used herein, “you” or “your” means any entity, university, Organisation, or company accessing or using the Service (“Organisation”) as well as any individual end user accessing and using the Service, as applicable and hereby agreeing to these Terms.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY.
BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING TE HIKU MEDIA’S PRIVACY POLICY AND KAITIAKITANGA LICENSE (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND TE HIKU MEDIA’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY TE HIKU MEDIA AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
1. Kaituhi Service Overview. The Service enables users to transform recorded audio into a transcription that can be searched, shared and annotated. This subscription-based paid version of the Service may require you to pay fees (the “Paid Service”).
2. Accounts and Registration.
2.1 General. To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, phone number, or other contact information. If you wish to designate individual users to access and use the Service under your account (such users, “Authorised Users”), you may also be required to provide us with some information about such Authorised Users. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times, and that you have all necessary rights and approvals to provide such information. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at awhina@kaituhi.nz.
2.2 Authorised Users.
a. You are responsible for: (i) identifying and authenticating all of your Authorised Users (ii) approving access by your Authorised Users to the Service and designating appropriate access controls in connection with your account, (iii) controlling against unauthorised access by your Authorised Users, and (iv) all activities that occur under your Authorised Users’ usernames, passwords or accounts as a result of your Authorised Users’ access and use of the Service.
b. If you received your credentials to access and use the Service (including certain features thereof) from your Organisation or otherwise are accessing the Service under your Organisation’s account, you acknowledge and agree that your access to the Service as provided by your Organisation is subject to the agreement between Te Hiku Media and your Organisation with respect to the Service. You also acknowledge that your Organisation may terminate the access to the Service that they provide to you at any time. Te Hiku Media will have no liability to you in connection with any such removal or termination.
c. If the domain of the email address associated with your account is owned by an Organisation and was assigned to you as an employee, contractor or member of the Organisation (such as yourname@youremployer.com), you acknowledge and agree that we may identify your account to the Organisation, migrate your account to the Organisation’s account, and/or restrict or terminate access to your account. Te Hiku Media will have no liability to you in connection with any such disclosure, restriction, or termination.
d. If you join a Kaituhi Business or Kaituhi Enterprise account, you must use it in compliance with your organisation’s terms and policies. Please note that Kaituhi Business and Kaituhi Enterprise accounts are subject to your Organisation’s control. Your administrators may be able to access, disclose, restrict, or remove information in or from your Kaituhi Business or Kaituhi Enterprise account. They may also be able to restrict or terminate your access to a Kaituhi Business or Kaituhi Enterprise account. If you convert an existing Kaituhi Individual account into part of a Kaituhi Business or Kaituhi Enterprise account, your administrators may prevent you from later disassociating your account from the Kaituhi Business or Kaituhi Enterprise account.
3. General Payment Terms. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have the opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in New Zealand Dollars and are non-refundable.
3.1 Price. Te Hiku Media reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Te Hiku Media will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. Te Hiku Media may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges if Te Hiku Media gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Te Hiku Media, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Te Hiku Media’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
3.2 Authorisation. You authorise Te Hiku Media and its third-party payment processors to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Te Hiku Media, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, Te Hiku Media or its third-party payment processors may seek pre-authorisation of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. At its discretion, Te Hiku Media may allow an organisation to purchase the Service by issuing an invoice for payment that must be settled within 30 days of issuance.
3.3 Subscription Service.
a. General. The Service may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorise Te Hiku Media or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums, including all accrued sums for your Authorised Users. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. For more information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see https://kaituhi.nz/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date for all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period, which may be one month or one year depending on the selection you make on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”). At the end of the Initial Subscription Period, your subscription will automatically renew for a period equal to the Initial Subscription Period (such renewal period, the “Renewal Subscription Period”), unless you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. If you may add additional users to Teams accounts throughout the Subscription Period you will be charged a pro-rata fee for the time remaining to the renewal period. If you disable users to Teams or do not allocate users to a purchased Team user seat you will earn a corresponding pro-rata credit for the unused portion of the Subscription Period that may be applied to your fee for the subsequent Renewal Subscription Period. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Te Hiku Media or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Subscription Service in the settings page for your account at Te Hiku Media if you signed up directly via our website by contacting us at awhina@kaituhi.nz.
4.4 Delinquent Accounts. Te Hiku Media may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any sums are due but unpaid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if you have been provided access to the Service (including certain features thereof) via your Organisation and your Organisation has not paid all sums due, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account may be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any unpaid amount, including collection fees.
5. Licences
5.1 Limited Licence. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, Te Hiku Media grants you, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to (a) access and use the Service.

7.4 License Grant to Users. By providing User Content to or via the Service to other users of the Service, you grant those users a non-exclusive license to access, use, modify and distribute that User Content as permitted by these Terms and the functionality of the Service.
7.5 Access to User Content and Results. Te Hiku Media may permit you to share certain User Content or the results of processing User Content with other users of the Service, share User Content or the results of processing User Content outside of the Service, or even make certain User Content or the results of processing User Content public for all (even non-Service users) to view. You acknowledge and agree that, although Te Hiku Media may provide certain features intended to allow you to restrict access to some User Content you create from others, Te Hiku Media does not guarantee that such User Content or any results of processing User Content will never be accessible by others when you share the User Content or any results of processing User Content. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Te Hiku Media is not responsible for the use of any User Content or the results of processing User Content by users or non-users of the Service or any third parties.
7.6 User Content Representations and Warranties. Te Hiku Media disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Service. By providing User Content via the Service, you affirm, represent, and warrant that:
a. you are the creator and owner of the User Content or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Te Hiku Media and users of the Service to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Te Hiku Media, the Service, and these Terms;

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent.

Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms, the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
16.2 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Aotearoa/New Zealand without regard to conflict of law principles.
