  2. Rights

    All rights in all material and content, including, but not limited to, Intellectual Property Rights, text, images, web pages, sound, software (including code, interface and web site structure and video, and the look and feel, design and compilation thereof) accessed at or comprising this Site are owned by us. You acknowledge and agree that you are permitted to use the material and/or content only as set out in these Web Site Terms and Conditions or as otherwise expressly authorised in writing by us, and that you may not otherwise copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly perform, distribute, commercially exploit, adapt, translate, modify, bundle, merge, share or make available to any person, or create derivative works of such material or content.

  3. Subscriptions

    Several Site subdomains, such as payroll.sesque.com, require a valid subscription plan. Depending on the specific functionality provided at the Site subdomain, a subscription may be issued to a user account's registered owner or to a Business Entity linked by the registered owner to their user account.

    Subscription plans

    We provide free as well as paid subscriptions. The free subscription is offered solely to the legal owner of a Business Entity, for processing data related to their own Business Entity, and provides access to a limited subset of the available functionality. These limitations are removed from the paid subscriptions. Note that processing data on behalf of another Business Entity requires a paid Ultimate subscription.

    Upgrades and downgrades

    All subscriptions are settled on a monthly cycle. You can change your subscription by upgrading or downgrading your plan. However, note that only one subscription change, either upgrade or downgrade, is permitted per settlement cycle.
    By you upgrading from a free to a paid subscription, we will automatically charge on a recurring basis the fee for the plan you select, including any applicable taxes, to the payment method nominated in your subscription.

    Payments

    Only credit cards are accepted as payment methods. Payments are processed at the end of each monthly settlement cycle. If we are unable to successfully charge your nominated payment method for fees due, your system access will be restricted. You will have to contact us to discuss regaining full system access. Note that the affected subscription will still be accruing charges in the meantime.

    Cancellations

    You may cancel your subscription at any time. Payment is required for any outstanding fees incurred.

    2. use the Site or any of Our Services to create, host or transmit (whether in a live chat room, on a bulletin board or otherwise) any defamatory, offensive, or obscene material or engaging in activities which would cause offence to others on grounds of race, religion, creed or sex;

    When you register a Business Entity on the Site, as required by some of Our Services, you must use the Business Entity's official contact details, i.e. street address, email address and phone number. Further, you are responsible for ensuring that only authorised persons have access to the Business Entity. Any persons you authorise to access the Business Entity must do so using their own user credentials, i.e. username and password. Sharing user credentials is strictly prohibited and it is your resposibility to enforce this for all the persons you authorise to access the Business Entity. It is also your responsibility to manage the secure access of all the persons authorised by you, including password rotation, two-factor authentication enforcement and removing access from persons no longer having authority to access the Business Entity. All access to the Business Entity by persons you authorised remains your responsibility. We do not accept responsibility or liability of any sort for any consequences whatsoever that you may suffer or incur by reason of any improper use of or access to the Business Entity by persons you authorised.

    If you breach any of these requirements or if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your conduct constitutes misuse of the Site or any of Our Services, we may restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Site and any of Our Services without first providing notice to you.
