1. What these Terms cover

These Terms govern our Platform, related support and additional services. These Terms include our policies (including the Privacy Policy) and may include separate terms which apply specific to the account entered into between you (or the entity you represent) and Flomatika (SubscriptionTerms). If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the Subscription Terms then the Subscription Terms will prevail.

2. What is the Platform?

Flomatika is a cloud based platform that interfaces with your work management software to pull and populate your data into a dashboard; and derive metrics from that data, for the purpose of analysing the data through visualisations, to improve performance. Further details regarding the Platform and its functionality can be found in the Documentation at www.flomatika.com.

3. How the Platform is administered

Administrators

The Platform will allow you to specify certain Users as Administrators, who will have important rights and controls over your use of the Platform and User accounts. This may include creating, de-provisioning, monitoring or modifying End User Accounts, and setting End User usage permissions; and managing access to Your Data by End Users or others.

Administrators may take over management of accounts previously registered using an email address belonging to your domain. You agree that our responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the Platform for you.

Administrators are responsible for understanding the settings and controls for your use and for controlling whom you allow to become an User. Administrators are also responsible for activities of your Users.

Credentials

If you are an Administrator, you must require that all Users keep their user IDs and passwords for the Platform strictly confidential and do not share such information with any unauthorised person. User IDs are granted to individuals, named persons and may not be shared. As an Administrator you are responsible for any and all actions taken using User accounts and passwords, and you agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of which you become aware.
