Subscription Rates, GST for Australian Residents, Auto-Renewal, Billing Disputes, Refunds, Apple and Google Refunds and Termination

Online Purchases Through a Digital Quarter Network Product

Subscription rates may change from time to time. Your current subscription will not be affected by any fee rises until your next renewal.

Otherwise, any changes to subscription rates are effective upon them being posted on the network.

Charges relating to the purchase, by Australian residents, of your membership are stated as being inclusive of GST. We will issue you with a tax invoice which sets out the amount of GST paid by you. GST means the Australian goods and services tax charged under the Goods and Services Tax Act 1999 (Commonwealth).

If you pay for your Digital Quarter Network membership by credit card then, for your convenience, we have set your auto-renewal to ON. This means that upon the expiry of your initial period of membership, your membership will automatically be renewed at a discounted monthly cost at the same membership level as your initial membership. Your credit card will automatically be debited the appropriate fee. Your membership will continue to be renewed in this manner until you turn your auto-renewal feature off. The auto-renewal feature can be switched off in the settings area of the website you are using or through your settings in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

In the event you disagree with any charge made to your account, you agree to contact us with a view to resolving the dispute prior to making a formal notification to your credit company. You must contact us by email enquiry@digitalquarter.com This will enable us to accurately and promptly assess your complaint and, where justified, credit your card with the disputed amount in a timely manner, with the minimum of inconvenience to you.

All disputes must be raised within three (3) months of the disputed transaction occurring. You waive your rights to seek reimbursement for disputes arising outside of this period.

You may terminate your membership at any time.

If you request an early termination of your membership, you will not be entitled to any refund of any unused subscription fees.

Any or all features published as being available for any particular membership subscription level should be regarded as individual features and the removal or substitution of an individual feature does not amount to a change of your membership level.

You are not entitled to seek a refund or compensation in the event individual features of any particular membership level become unavailable to you because of upgrades or changes to the Digital Quarter Network, or because of technical difficulties or your inability to access individual features, through no fault of our own.

We do not issue refunds unless there are extenuating and compelling circumstances which we feel, at our absolute discretion, warrant a refund. We do not guarantee any particular results when using the Digital Quarter Network and will not consider giving a refund as a consequence of dissatisfaction with the network or buyer’s remorse.

If we agree to provide you with a refund it will only be for the whole or a portion of the most recent payment you made to us. The granting of a refund will result in an immediate cancellation of the service we provide to you. You will no longer have access to the services we formerly provided to you.

Facebook Connect, Google and Other Social Media

Facebook allows its users to ‘connect’ their Facebook identity, friends and, privacy settings to third-party content providers through its Facebook Connect feature.

The Digital Quarter Network is a third-party content provider which uses Facebook Connect to allow our registered users and members to interact with the network whilst using some of the features of Facebook.

We hope that using Facebook Connect will enrich the time you spend with us on the Digital Quarter Network.

We provide the mechanism and technology which enables you to use Facebook Connect and the Digital Quarter Network, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of ease.

Facebook Connect enables you to;

  • Authenticate and connect your Facebook identity into the Digital Quarter Network in a trusted manner. You have total control over the permissions you grant using Facebook Connect.
  • Bring your identity from Facebook into the Digital Court Network. This means you can elect to import your basic profile information, profile picture, name, friends, photos, events, groups and more into the Digital Quarter Network.
  • Have access to your Facebook friends who are also members of the Digital Quarter Network.
  • Have dynamic privacy; meaning that the privacy settings you have set on Facebook follow you into the Digital Quarter Network.

In consideration for making Facebook Connect available to you, you allow us to access and use your personal information stored on Facebook, to;

  • Provide you with an enhanced level of service.
  • Improve the quality of our offerings across the Digital Quarter Network.
  • Collect, store and use the information we have collected from your Facebook identity, for our reasonable purposes.
  • Market our offerings, across the Digital Quarter Network, to you and your Facebook friends.
  • Enhance the manner in which we market our offerings, across the Digital Quarter Network, to you and your Facebook friends.

To disconnect your Digital Quarter Network account from Facebook go to facebook.com and log into your account. Then go to https://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/apps. Click on ‘apps’ and remove the relevant Digital Quarter Network app you would like to delete by hovering over its name and clicking the ‘remove’ or ‘x’ button. After doing this you will no longer be able to log into the Digital Quarter Network account on Facebook unless re-enable the relevant Digital Quarter Network App.

To deactivate your Digital Quarter Network account, log on to the portion of the Digital Quarter Network you wish to unsubscribe from, click on “Profile”, then click on “Account Settings” click the “Deactivate” button and enter your registered email address. Your account will then be deactivated.

You should understand that deactivated accounts are not deleted but rather “hidden” and may persist in our systems for our business purposes. However, your account information will no longer be accessible to the public unless and until you reactivate your account by logging back in to the relevant portion of the Digital Quarter Network. You may request that all user submitted personal information (other than your email address) is deleted from our data base by emailing enquiry@digitalquarter.com with your specific request.

Other social media providers including Google allow similar functionality to that of Facebook Connect. We provide connectivity to that functionality on the same basis and terms as we provide Facebook interoperability.

Please note we are not liable for your use of Facebook Connect or any Google supplied functionality. Facebook connect and any Google functionality are the products of Facebook and Google. We provide access to Facebook Connect and any Google functionality on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis and do not represent any particular level of service associated with either product. In particular, we do not warrant that either Facebook Connect or any Google functionality is fit for any particular purpose, or that it is of merchantable quality. You use Facebook Connect or any Google supplied functionality at your own risk and under the terms and conditions of use set out by Facebook and Google.

Likewise, we are not responsible for, and are not liable for, any loss associated with your use of either Facebook Connect or any Google functionality, whether or not linked in any way to the Digital Quarter Network.
