6. DNS MANAGEMENT AND RECORD HANDLING

Refari now offers two distinct web hosting services: Refari Shared Web Hosting and Refari Dedicated Web Hosting. Each comes with specific features and DNS management protocols to best suit our clients’ needs.
6.1 Client Responsibility for DNS Records (Shared Web Hosting) As a value-added service, Refari offers DNS/SPF/DKIM record management for our website clients. This service is designed to facilitate seamless integration with various online platforms and tools. For clients opting for Refari Shared Web Hosting, it is mandatory that their DNS records are on Refari’s DNS management system to ensure optimal performance, enhanced security of the shared servers, and to enable seamless infrastructure upgrades. However, DNS/SPF/DKIM record management is provided at Refari’s discretion and may be withdrawn or modified. In the event that Refari decides to withdraw this service, clients will be provided with delegate access to manage their DNS records themselves, or they can appoint a third-party IT company to have delegate access.
6.2 DNS Management (Dedicated Web Hosting) Clients choosing Refari Dedicated Web Hosting have the flexibility to manage their DNS records independently or opt for Refari’s management services for enhanced security and performance.
6.3 Self-Management and Third-Party Access For Dedicated Web Hosting clients, Refari offers the option for self-management of DNS records or delegate access to third parties. For Shared Web Hosting, DNS management is exclusively handled by Refari, although delegate access may be granted upon client request.

9.3.2 Provision of Additional Context – Providing a video or other forms of additional context ensures that we can accurately and efficiently implement your requested changes to meet your expectations.
9.3.3 Requirement for Video Submission – If a video or sufficient additional context is not provided with your change request, Refari reserves the right to pause or delay the processing of your request until the necessary information is received.

9.3.5 Support for Creating Videos – If you need assistance in creating a video for your change request, please contact our support team at support@refari.co, and we will be happy to guide you through the process.

9.4.1 Principle of Actionable Feedback – To facilitate an efficient, fair, and productive website development process, you acknowledge and agree that all feedback provided for website design and development revisions must be specific, objective, and actionable. The initial website build is based on the template you select, along with the content and brief you provide. Subsequent iterations depend on the quality and clarity of your feedback.
9.4.2 Definition of Actionable Feedback – Actionable feedback is defined as a revision request that provides clear, specific, and direct guidance which can be implemented. To be considered actionable, feedback must include one or more of the following: (a) Referencing a particular feature, layout, or style from another Refari template website; (b) Referencing a particular feature, layout, or style from a website in Refari’s client portfolio; (c) Providing a URL to a third-party website and clearly identifying the specific section or element you wish to emulate (e.g., “Please style the ‘Our Team’ section to resemble the team section on this page: [URL]”). Please note, however, that whilst every effort will be made to fulfil such requests, replication of elements from third-party websites may not always be possible due to technological, design, or compatibility limitations. Where this is the case, we will communicate any such limitations to you and will endeavour to offer the closest practicable alternative; (d) Providing specific instructions for changes to colour (using hex codes), typography (by naming fonts), or copy (by supplying the exact text).
9.4.3 Prohibition of Non-Actionable Feedback – Feedback that is purely subjective, generic, or vague will be regarded as non-actionable and will not be accepted as a valid change request. Examples of non-actionable feedback include, but are not limited to, statements such as “I don’t like it,” “it feels too blocky,” “make it pop more,” or “can you try something different?” without a specific reference or direction as set out in clause 9.4.2.
9.4.4 Right to Request Clarification – Refari reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reject any feedback that does not meet the criteria for actionable feedback. Upon receipt of non-actionable feedback, we will pause development on the related task and notify you of the need to provide compliant, actionable feedback. The time taken for you to provide such clarification will not count towards any agreed project timelines.
9.4.5 Additional Charges for Unscoped Revisions – If you insist on proceeding with revisions based on non-actionable feedback, or request a complete redesign that departs significantly from the initial brief and any previously provided actionable feedback, such work may be deemed out of scope. In these circumstances, Refari reserves the right to provide a quotation for the additional work, which must be agreed and paid for before the work commences.

9.5.1 Images and Videos – Refari will select images and/or videos for use on your website based on our understanding of your business direction, brand, style, and the area you service. If following our initial selection the chosen images and/or videos are not suitable or are not to your preference, Refari will provide you with access to image and video repositories so you may select specific images and/or videos for use. Refari will not continue to make repeated selections of images or videos on your behalf in the event the initial selections do not meet your expectations.
9.5.2 Custom Graphics, Animations, and Media – Refari does not provide bespoke graphic design, custom illustrations, custom animations, or other custom media creation services as part of our website builds. Should you require custom graphics, animations, or any other bespoke visual assets, it is your responsibility to provide these or to arrange for their creation through a suitably qualified graphic designer or media professional.
9.5.3 Brand Design and Brand Iteration – Refari is not a branding agency and does not offer brand design, brand strategy, or brand iteration services. You are solely responsible for supplying all required brand assets and guidelines (including logos, colour palettes, and font choices) prior to the commencement of the website build. Our services are reliant on the branding material provided and we do not undertake any branding or rebranding work on your behalf.
9.5.4 Copywriting – Refari does not provide copywriting or content writing services as part of our website delivery. You must provide all required website copy and written content. If you require professional copywriting, this should be sourced independently.
9.5.5 Reliance on Client-Supplied Materials – Refari’s services and deliverables depend upon the quality, completeness, and accuracy of the materials (including but not limited to text, images, videos, and brand assets) you provide. Delays or deficiencies in materials supplied may impact project timelines, scope, or quality of final deliverables.
9.5.6 Team Profiles on Client Websites – Refari does not provide ongoing creation, updating, or management of Team Profiles as part of standard services. Team Profiles on client websites are only supported via the Refari Team Widget

9.6.1 Purpose of policy – The reason for this repeat content policy is to maintain a fair and sustainable working relationship with our clients. The advancement of AI-generated content makes it possible for clients to produce and submit large volumes of content in a short period of time. As our services are typically not billed on a time and materials basis, fulfilling unlimited or excessive content requests could significantly disrupt our ability to deliver quality service and may undermine the viability of our business model. To ensure consistent quality and reliable service for all clients, we establish clear limits on the scope of content we upload or manage directly.
9.6.2 Initial content upload and demonstration – Refari will assist clients with the initial upload or management of content solely as part of the website, blog, or project setup. This typically includes, but is not limited to, uploading up to three examples of each content type, such as blog posts, case studies, events, news articles, or announcements, to serve as a template or demonstration.
9.6.3 Ongoing management of repeat content – The ongoing creation, uploading, publishing, updating, or deletion of any repeat or routine content is solely the responsibility of the client. Repeat content is any material that is published or updated regularly or on a recurring basis, whether via the Refari platform, any Refari widget, or through a separate content management system such as WordPress.
9.6.4 Training and handover – Refari will provide instructions, training, or documentation, at its discretion, during the onboarding and setup process to enable clients to manage their own ongoing content creation and publishing.
9.6.5 Exclusions from standard service – Refari does not provide ongoing uploading, management, editing, publishing, or removal of repeat content as part of its standard services. Excluded content types include, but are not limited to, job adverts, team profiles, candidate adverts, testimonials, blog posts, case studies, events, news articles, announcements, or any similar or related content that is routinely published by the client.
9.6.6 Additional arrangements – Any client requests for Refari to manage, upload, or publish repeat content beyond the initial setup must be agreed in writing and may be subject to additional fees. These services are not included within the standard service agreement or these terms of use.
9.6.7 Client responsibility – After initial demonstration or setup, it is the client’s responsibility to ensure all repeat content is created, published, updated, and managed appropriately and in a timely fashion.

9.7.1 Representation and Warranty – Candidates represent and warrant that you have the skills, experience, qualifications, and any other matters necessary to perform projects or employment opportunities that you accept and that you have the ability to perform the role requirements as advised by the Recruitment Entity or Refari to you.
9.7.2 Availability of Employment Opportunities – Refari does not represent or warrant the continued availability of any Employment Opportunity nor does it make any endorsement or warranty in relation to the suitability of any Candidate, Recruitment Entity, or Employment Opportunity.
9.7.3 Relationship Disclaimer – Nothing in these terms and conditions or otherwise constitutes a relationship between Refari and the Candidate, Refari and the Third Party Referrer, or between Referrer and the Recruitment Entity, of employee, principal/contractor, or any other relationship other than service provider and customer.
9.7.4 Contractual Agreements with Recruitment Entities – If a Candidate or Third Party Referrer engages with a Recruitment Entity, your contract with the Recruitment Entity will govern your rights and obligations in respect of the particular project. We give no warranty and make no representation as to the terms of such contracts.

10. PRICES, FEES, AND CHANGES

10.1 Responsibility for Fees – All fees for the Services, including but not limited to platform access, Company User licences, website development, and hosting (Fees), are payable by the Client. For clarity, a Company User licence Fee applies to each Company User within a Client’s organisation in accordance with Section 11 and the Definitions in Section 18.
10.2 Excluded Users – No Fees under this agreement are payable by individual Users who access the Online Platforms solely in their capacity as a Candidate, Third Party Referrer, or Hiring Manager, unless such a User is also the administrator or authorised representative of a Client account.
10.3 Basis of Charges – Fees are payable in accordance with the rates and terms set out in a separate services agreement entered into with the Client or as otherwise specified on an invoice provided by Refari. In the absence of a separate written agreement, the Client's use of paid Services or features on the Online Platforms constitutes its acceptance of the obligation to pay the Fees as invoiced.
10.4 Overbilling, Refunds, and Account Credits – If you believe you have been overbilled for any Services or Fees, you must notify Refari in writing within sixty (60) days of the relevant payment date. Upon substantiation of your claim, Refari will issue a refund for the overbilled amount within this period. If no request for a refund is received within sixty (60) days, any validated overbilled amount subsequently identified will be applied as a credit to your account, usable against future invoices, provided such overbilling relates to a payment made within the preceding twelve (12) months. No credits for overbilling will be provided for amounts relating to payments made more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of notification. This clause does not limit or modify any rights you may have under applicable law.
10.5 Refari reserves the right to suspend or restrict access to the Services or Online Platforms in the event of non-payment of Fees or any other monies due, until such outstanding amounts are paid in full.
10.6 Refari reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate of 2% above the Reserve Bank of Australia’s published cash rate, calculated daily and compounding monthly, until paid in full.
10.7 Responsibility for Referral Fees – Where a Recruitment Entity displays a fee payable to a Third Party Referrer for the referral of a Candidate (a "Referral Fee"), the Recruitment Entity is solely responsible and liable for the payment of that Referral Fee. Refari shall not be held liable for a Recruitment Entity’s failure to pay any Referral Fee.
10.8 Currency – All prices shown on the Online Platforms are in Australian Dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated. Where an amount is displayed in another currency and payment is required in Australia, the amount shall be converted into AUD using the exchange rate set by the Reserve Bank of Australia at the time payment becomes due.
10.9 Automated Billing and Payment Responsibility – For any outstanding invoices, our automated billing system will attempt to take payment on the 1st day of each month. It is the responsibility of the Client to ensure sufficient funds are available in the designated payment method on the due date.
10.10 Company User Licence Charges – Unless otherwise agreed in a separate written agreement, a Company User licence Fee is payable for each Company User for each monthly billing period or part thereof. Discounts, free allotments, or caps on Company Users apply only if expressly set out in a separate written agreement or an invoice issued by Refari.
10.11 Prepaid Fees and Credit Application
10.11.1 Definition – Any amounts paid in advance for Services are treated as an account credit balance (“Prepaid Credit”). Prepaid Credit is applied against future invoices for Fees until it is fully consumed.
10.11.2 Application at current Services and rates – Except where the Client has locked in a fixed-term arrangement under clause 10.11.4 or 10.11.10, Prepaid Credit is applied to Fees at the then-current prices and for the then-current Services subscribed to by the Client. The duration for which Prepaid Credit lasts is not fixed and will vary depending on changes to the Client’s Services, usage, or applicable prices.
10.11.3 Effect of service or usage changes – If the Client increases Services, features, or billable usage (including but not limited to Company User counts under Section 11), Prepaid Credit will be consumed more quickly. If the Client reduces Services or usage, Prepaid Credit will last longer. Changes take effect prospectively only, in line with clause 11.2 where applicable.
10.11.4 Effect of price changes – (a) Fixed-term arrangements (prepaid or monthly) – Where the Client has entered into a fixed-term arrangement (for example, 12 months or 24 months), whether prepaid in full or paid monthly, the Client’s pricing for the agreed Services is locked in for the duration of that term. Price changes during the term will not affect the Fees payable for those Services. This fixed pricing benefit is part of the advantage of committing to a longer term. (b) Month-to-month or flexible arrangements – Where the Client is on a month-to-month arrangement or otherwise has not locked into a fixed term, any price change made in accordance with these Terms will apply from its effective date, and the Client’s Prepaid Credit (if any) will be consumed at the updated rate from that date onward.
10.11.5 Exhaustion and top-ups – When Prepaid Credit is exhausted, standard billing will resume and Fees will become payable in accordance with clause 10.3 unless the Client purchases additional Prepaid Credit.
10.11.6 No conversion or transfer – Prepaid Credit is not transferable, has no cash value, and may only be applied to Fees for the Client’s account.
10.11.7 Refunds – Prepaid Credit is non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly provided elsewhere in these Terms, including clause 13.5 where Refari suspends or terminates an engagement and a partial refund calculation is performed. Clause 10.4 (Overbilling, Refunds, and Account Credits) continues to apply to validated overbilling.
10.11.8 Taxes and currency – Prepaid Credit is applied to Fees exclusive of any applicable taxes. Currency treatment remains subject to clause 10.8 and the Client is responsible for any applicable GST.
10.11.9 Balance visibility – Refari will make reasonable efforts to display the Client’s Prepaid Credit balance and deductions through invoices or the Online Platforms.
10.11.10 Renewal of fixed-term arrangements – Where the Client has selected a fixed-term arrangement (for example, 12 months or 24 months), whether prepaid in full or paid monthly, the arrangement will automatically renew for an equivalent term unless the Client provides notice of non-renewal in accordance with clause 6.1.2. At renewal, the Fees for the new term will be calculated based on the Client’s Services and usage as at the renewal date, applying the applicable term discount (for example, 10% for 12 months or 20% for 24 months). For prepaid arrangements, the renewed Fees must be paid in advance at the commencement of the new term. For monthly arrangements, the renewed Fees will be billed monthly in accordance with clause 10.3.
10.11.11 Commencement of billing and drawdown – For all Clients, whether on a prepaid or monthly arrangement, Fees commence from the start of the contract and the beginning of Refari’s Services. This includes installation, onboarding, configuration, or the commencement of a website build, even if the Client’s Services or website have not yet gone live. Where the Client has prepaid, Prepaid Credit begins being drawn down from that date. Where the Client pays monthly, monthly billing commences immediately from that date.

11. USER LICENCE MANAGEMENT

11.1 Client Responsibility – Clients are solely responsible for managing and maintaining accurate Company User counts and licences for the services provided through the Online Platforms. This includes the timely addition or removal of Company User licences as needed. For clarity, every Company User provisioned under a Client’s organisation is a billable licence unless expressly excluded by a separate written agreement with Refari or by clause 10.2.
11.2 No Retrospective Changes – Clients may not make retrospective changes to Company User counts or licences for previous months. Any adjustments to Company User counts must be made prospectively and in accordance with the procedures outlined on the Online Platforms or as otherwise provided by us.
11.3 Refund Policy – Refunds for previous months’ Company User licences are not permitted. Clients must review and confirm their Company User counts and licences regularly to ensure accuracy and avoid unnecessary charges.
11.4 Fairness and Integrity – The policies in this section maintain the integrity of the billing process and ensure fairness among all clients. Attempts to circumvent or violate these policies may result in suspension or termination in accordance with Section 14.
11.5 Contact and Support – Clients with questions or requiring support related to Company User licence management may contact support@refari.co
11.6 Company Users – A Company User is any User account created within a Client’s organisation that either: (a) actively accesses or uses the Online Platforms for the Client’s business purposes, or (b) exists for the purpose of presenting that person as a Team Profile on a Client website via a Refari Team Widget.
11.7 Relationship with 10.2 – Users whose access is solely as Candidates, Third Party Referrers, or Hiring Managers are not Company Users under clause 10.2, unless they are administrators or authorised representatives of a Client account, or they are provisioned as Team Profiles on a Client website via the Refari Team Widget.
11.8 Team Profiles Require Licences – Each Team Profile displayed on a Client website via the Refari Team Widget must correspond to a Company User licence. Removing a Team Profile or deactivating the associated User is the Client’s responsibility and takes effect prospectively only, in line with clause 11.2.
11.9 Non-Widget Team Profiles – Refari does not support Team Profiles displayed through methods other than the Refari Team Widget.

12. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

12.2.1 we do not warrant or represent the suitability of the Online Platforms, or a Service for any purpose;
12.2.2 we will not be liable to you for indirect and consequential loss (including without limitation for loss of revenue, loss of profits, failure to realise expected profits or savings and any other commercial or economic loss of any kind) or loss or corruption of data, in contract, tort, under any statute or otherwise (including negligence) arising from or connected to the Online Platforms, the Products or Services; and
12.2.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law, and without limiting the foregoing, we shall not be liable for any Losses arising from or in connection with: (a) Any interruption, suspension, or unavailability of the Online Platforms, regardless of cause; (b) Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the content or materials on the Online Platforms; (c) Any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or similar malicious code that may be transmitted to or through the Online Platforms by any third party; or (d) Any unauthorised access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information stored therein, except where caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

12.3 Our liability to you for loss or damage of any kind arising out of this agreement or in connection with the relationship established by it is reduced to the extent (if any) that you cause or contribute to the loss or damage. This reduction applies whether our liability is in contract, tort (including negligence), under any statute or otherwise.
12.4 To the extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the provision of Services, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, shall not exceed the total Fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) month period preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
12.5 Refari makes no representation or warranty regarding the availability, performance, or compatibility of any third-party system, service, or API that may be integrated or used in conjunction with the Services.

13. Scope Change, Variation, Termination and Refund Policy

13.1 Purpose of policy – The purpose of this policy is to maintain a fair and professional working relationship with our clients and ensure that projects remain feasible and cost-effective for both parties. Significant or recurring changes to the project brief, requirements, or deliverables (including but not limited to websites, widgets, custom integrations, or other service components) can disrupt timelines, affect service quality, and lead to unanticipated costs. This policy outlines how such changes are managed, including additional charges, variation procedures, and circumstances where termination and refunds may apply.
13.2 Definition of scope change – A scope change is any request by the client for a revision, addition, or variation to the project brief or deliverables, including but not limited to websites, widgets, integrations, structure, design, branding, functionality, features, or content, that falls outside or substantially alters the originally agreed project specification or brief.
13.3 Quoting for and charging additional scope – Where a scope change is requested as outlined in clause 13.2, Refari will, at its discretion, provide the client with a quotation for any additional fees, adjusted milestones, or revised timelines needed to accommodate the variation. No scope changes will be undertaken unless agreed in writing and any extra payment terms are accepted by the client.
13.4 Right to terminate for unworkable engagements – Where, in Refari’s reasonable opinion, a client makes excessive, repeated, or egregious scope changes, or alters their requirements to such an extent that the continued delivery of services or deliverables is unworkable or impractical, Refari reserves the right to suspend or terminate the engagement.
13.5 Refunds for clients who have pre-paid for an extended term – Where the client has pre-paid for an extended period, for example, 12 months, and Refari suspends or terminates the engagement under this clause, Refari may, at its sole discretion, initiate a partial refund for the unused service period. The refund will be calculated by first deducting from the total pre-paid amount any applicable engagement, go-live, or onboarding fees, whether separately stated or included as part of the initial contract or project fee. After this, Refari will also deduct fees for services rendered or hours worked up to the date of suspension or termination, with such services charged at a rate of 60 AUD per hour, including but not limited to development, configuration, consultation, revisions, and account management hours.
13.6 Fees for monthly or ongoing payment clients – Where the client is on a monthly or ongoing payment arrangement and has not pre-paid for an extended term, and Refari suspends or terminates the engagement under this clause, Refari retains the right to invoice the client for all services rendered and hours worked to the date of suspension or termination, charged at a rate of 60 AUD per hour, including but not limited to development, configuration, consultation, revisions, and account management hours, excluding any engagement, go-live, or onboarding fees already paid.
13.7 Provision of Website Deliverables – Upon termination and subject to payment of all outstanding fees, a Client may be entitled to receive a copy of the Website Deliverables. A Client becomes eligible to receive the Website Deliverables only after maintaining an active paid website subscription with Refari for a continuous period of at least five (5) years from the Commencement Date. If the Client has not reached the five-year tenure, it may obtain the Website Deliverables by paying a buy-out fee equal to five (5) years of the then-current annual Website Fee, less any Website Fees already paid for that website up to the date of termination. Once eligibility is met or the buy-out fee has been paid, and all amounts owing to Refari are settled, Refari will provide the Website Deliverables in a standard industry format within fourteen (14) business days. Upon hand-over, Refari grants the Client a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use, host and modify the Website Deliverables for its own internal business purposes.
