Ido.Kiwi Terms of Business
1. How does our agreement with you work?
At Ido.Kiwi, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to do business with us. That’s why we want to take some time upfront to tell you about the building blocks that make up our agreement with you. Please make sure you read each of them carefully, as they apply when you use or receive our products and services.
Your sales order
Each time you want to purchase a product or service from us, you will receive a sales order from Ido.Kiwi either by talking with our friendly Ido.Kiwi sales consultants who will work with you to make sure that it details important matters such as the type of product, service or advertisement you are
purchasing, where your advertisement will appear, and the charges for those, or by selecting and confirming the products and services you want to purchase through our self service purchase process. Once you have approved your sales order, it becomes part of our agreement with you.
Our advertising policy
In addition to your sales order and these terms of business, our advertising policy applies when you or your design agency provide, use, or make available any content for use in your advertisement. You can find our advertising policy on our website.
Our web and mobile terms of use
Finally, our web and mobile terms of use apply when you use or interact with our Ido.Kiwi platform through our website or mobile phone applications. These are also available on our website.
Our digital products and services
This section applies where you are purchasing digital products and services from us.
There are several different types of digital products, advertisement and services:
- Ido.Kiwi Starter pack
- Ido.Kiwi Business Pack
- Ido.Kiwi Display Pack
- Ido.Kiwi premium Pack
We may make other additional products and services available from time-to-time. All products and services will be described on our website.
Your obligations in respect of these products and services are set out in these terms of business and include any additional terms applicable to that product or service. They can be found on our website.
Your sales order will set out the type of product or service that you are buying.
Ido.Kiwi Business Page customers
When signing up for a Ido.Kiwi for Business page, you will be responsible for creating your own content and assets after the initial page set up by our Digital Product Experts.
Changes to your page content
We may review any changes you make to your advertisement before those changes go live on Ido.Kiwi We can refuse to accept any of your proposed changes at our discretion.
2. Charges and payment
This section gives an overview of our payment options and describes your obligations around making payment.
Payment for our products and services
Your obligation to pay begins with your acceptance of the sales order. The required method of payment or any payment options available, and the charges for the products and services will be set out in your sales order. If a product or service uses an up-front payment model, you will be charged
the entire amount for that product or service in advance. If a product or service uses a subscription payment model, you will be charged in regular instalments for that product or service. Instalments are usually monthly, but sometimes other periods are available (this will be set out in the sales
order). Subscriptions are payable for each period in advance. Ido.Kiwi reserves the right to require payment in full in advance from customers who do not meet our credit criteria, prior to providing any products or services. We will send you regular invoices that will detail the upcoming subscription
payments for your chosen products and services.
If you are a qualifying business customer, you must pay for our products and services either:
- in full in advance (before the advised deadline) or
- by consecutive monthly subscription payments by recurring credit card, debit card or direct debit payment.
You can pay for our digital products and services either upfront when invoiced, or you may choose to set up a recurring credit card, debit card or direct debit payment, which can be done via the payment section of our website or by calling us to set up a payment over the phone. In all cases, we will
complete your request using our secure online payment providers.
We may change our charges for our products and services from time to time, unless we have agreed in our sales order to charge you a fixed price for a defined period of time.
Where we have agreed in our sales order to charge you a fixed price for a defined period of time, once that period expires you will be charged at our then current monthly subscription fee.
Pricing changes will be notified to you using the registration details you provided to us, or through the self service section of our website.
Consequences of missed or late payment
Our invoices will tell you the due date for payment. If you do not pay our charges by the due date for payment, we will notify you that the payment is outstanding.
Where a recurring credit or debit card or direct debit payment has failed for any reason (e.g. because your credit limit is exceeded or your card has expired), the following month we will try and collect the outstanding payment.
Where a payment has not been received by the due date for payment, we may (at our sole discretion):
- cancel or suspend the provision of any of our products or services to you;
- remove your Ido.Kiwi business page or downgrade your page to a free listing showing only your business contact details;
- require you to pay overdue interest at 2% per annum above the 90 day bank bill rate, from the due date
- for payment until the date on which we receive payment Where a payment is more than 30 days
- overdue, we may also require you to pay any additional costs we incur in trying to recover your payment,
Receipt of invoices electronically
By approving our sales order via email you agree to receive our invoices, payment confirmations and other correspondence by email to your nominated email address.
3. How can our agreement with you come to an end?
This section describes how long our agreement with you lasts for and how either of us can bring this agreement to an end.
Duration of our agreement with you
Our agreement with you will continue until terminated by either of us, as provided for in these terms of business.
Even though this agreement may have been terminated by either of us, those rights and responsibilities which are intended to continue after this agreement ends won’t be affected by that termination. These include sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of these terms of business.
Terminating this agreement
By you:
You can terminate this agreement if we breach a material term of this agreement and we don’t fix that breach within 10 working days after we get a written notice from you identifying the breach and asking us to fix it.
Automatic renewal of products and services
- Once a product or service’s minimum term has expired, we will automatically continue to provide you with the product or service, unless you cancel or terminate that product or service by advising us of your intention to terminate prior to expiry of the minimum term. This renewal will be on the basis of the original term.
- If you no longer want to receive one or more of our products and services that is not subject to a minimum term, you need to write to us and let us know, and we will then remove your advertisement from our digital products as soon as reasonably possible after we get your termination notice and have verified that it is genuine. You won’t be entitled to a refund of any charges you have paid in advance for our digital products and services.
Some of our products and services are provided once-only.
Automatic rollover on expiry of any trial, discounted or free product period
You will be contacted at the end of any trial, discounted or free product period and advised to contact Ido.Kiwi at least 10 working days before the end of the period if you do not wish to continue to use the relevant product or service. Unless we hear from you we will automatically continue to provide you with the relevant product or service and transition you to our standard terms and
conditions and pricing which will apply to your use of the relevant product or service on expiry of the trial, discounted or free access period. If you choose to terminate at the end of the period, then we may also terminate any trial, discounted or free access you have to any other related digital product
or service (including free access you have to the Ido.Kiwi business page). You need to be aware that once your trial, discounted or free access period has expired a minimum period will apply for a number of the products and services, including each Ido.Kiwi business page.
Verifying termination notices
In order to protect your business from unscrupulous third parties, we need to make sure that your notice to terminate for convenience genuinely comes from you (and not someone pretending to be you!). This means that we won’t be able to accept your notice to terminate and to action it by removing your advertisement until we have carried out our verification checks, and you have
confirmed the validity of your termination for convenience back to us through that process.
Where you are only terminating part of a sales order, we will send you an amended sales order for your approval.
Termination by us:
We may terminate our agreement with you in full or in part at any time by contacting you in writing if you breach this agreement, if we receive a complaint or series of complaints about you, or if we deem your behaviour, your advertisement or any content that you have provided to be unacceptable.
If we terminate our agreement with you in full or in part for any of these reasons then we will not provide you with a refund of any charges that you have paid to us in advance and you must pay any outstanding amounts due under this agreement.
As set out in section 5, we will have to cancel your sales order if the Ido.Kiwi display advertisement spot that you have selected is no longer available at the time you approve your sales order for that spot.
On termination for whatever reason, any permission we have given you to use our material ceases immediately and you must, at our option, either return or destroy all products and services owned by us and any related material and content.

However, you need to be aware that even if your business page contains content that you or your design agency have supplied, we own the overall compiled and templated form of your business page as it appears in our Ido.Kiwi platform.
