DigMe — Copyright and Intellectual Property

Operated by DIGME Limited, New Zealand

Effective date: 3 October 2026

1. Ownership of DigMe intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual property rights in the DigMe platform and its original content are owned by or licensed to DIGME Limited.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• The DigMe name, brand, logos and associated branding.
• The platform's software, source code, design, layout and functionality.
• Original graphics, interface elements, documentation and written content.
• Platform architecture, features, workflows and original materials.
• Any other original content or materials developed specifically for DigMe.

These materials are protected by applicable copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of DigMe's intellectual property to any user, company, site operator or other third party.

2. Permitted use of the platform

Subject to compliance with applicable terms and conditions, DIGME Limited grants authorised users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to access and use DigMe for its intended business and operational purposes.

Users must not, without prior written permission:

• Copy, reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit DigMe's software, original content or proprietary materials outside the permitted use of the platform.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the platform's source code, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Modify, adapt or create derivative works from DigMe's proprietary materials without authorisation.
• Remove, obscure or alter copyright notices, trade marks or other proprietary rights notices.
• Use DigMe's name, branding or logos in a manner that suggests an unauthorised affiliation, endorsement or partnership.

Nothing in this clause restricts activities that cannot lawfully be restricted under applicable law.

3. Company and site operator content

Companies, site operators and other authorised users retain ownership of the intellectual property rights they hold in the information and materials they upload or provide through DigMe.

This may include:

• Site access instructions and procedures.
• Health and safety information and induction materials.
• Site maps, diagrams and photographs.
• Loading and unloading procedures.
• Company branding, logos and operational documentation.
• Other original information and materials supplied by the relevant organisation.

By uploading or providing content to DigMe, the relevant user or organisation grants DIGME Limited a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit and otherwise use that content to the extent reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, support and improve the platform and provide its intended services.

This licence includes making the relevant content available to authorised users and organisations for the purposes for which it was supplied.

The licence continues for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil those purposes, subject to applicable retention obligations and any agreed arrangements.

The content owner remains responsible for ensuring that it has the necessary rights and permissions to upload and distribute the content.

4. Restrictions on user content

Users must not upload, publish, distribute or otherwise make available content through DigMe that:

• Infringes another person's copyright, trade mark or other intellectual property rights.
• Is uploaded or distributed without the necessary authority or permission.
• Contains unlawful, misleading or otherwise prohibited material.
• Breaches applicable confidentiality, privacy or contractual obligations.

DIGME Limited may restrict access to, remove or disable content where reasonably necessary to address alleged infringement, unlawful activity, platform security or other legitimate operational concerns, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.

5. Copyright infringement notices

If a person believes that material made available through DigMe infringes their copyright or other intellectual property rights, they may contact DIGME Limited with details of the material and the rights concerned.

We may investigate the complaint and take appropriate action, which may include restricting access to the material or requesting further information from the relevant user or organisation.

Submitting a complaint does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred.

6. Feedback and suggestions

If users provide suggestions, ideas or feedback about DigMe, DIGME Limited may use that feedback to develop, maintain or improve the platform, subject to applicable law and any separate confidentiality or contractual obligations.

This clause does not transfer ownership of intellectual property that belongs to the person providing the feedback.

7. Third-party intellectual property

DigMe may incorporate or link to third-party software, services, content or other materials.

Such materials remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate copyright notices, licences or terms of use.

Nothing in this clause grants users rights to third-party intellectual property beyond those rights expressly provided by the relevant owner or licence.

8. Reservation of rights

All rights not expressly granted under these terms are reserved by the relevant intellectual property owner.

Unauthorised use of protected material may result in legal action or other remedies available under applicable law.

9. Applicable law

This clause is governed by the laws of New Zealand, subject to any applicable mandatory legal requirements.
