Membership Advantages

Templates development

The docDownload site will always have a number of templates on offer that are still being worked on. These are listed in grey. We have included them so that you know that they are in the pipeline. If you are a member you may bring their publication date forward by telling us the date that you will be needing the template. Of course there can be no guarantees, but we will try to meet your deadlines if it is at all possible, with our limited resources. This service is not available to non-members.

Requesting new templates

docDownload encourages our members to request new and innovative templates that are not at present available on the website. This is our way of keeping in touch with our members' changing needs. Simply email us with your idea, including everything that you know about it, including examples of its use, a description of the audience that it is intended for, and the application of international standards, if any. Of course there can be no guarantees, but we will assess every request from our members seriously and if we think it has merit AS A TEMPLATE and can be of use to a broader range of members we will prepare the template giving it priority and publish it free of charge. We will then email you telling you that it is available. This service is not available to non-members.

Membership Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT BEFORE USING THIS SERVICE. BY CONTINUING TO USE http://www.docDownload.com.au, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT:

1. GENERAL RULES

   1. By using the docDownload service available on the docDownload website http://www.docDownload.com.au (hereinafter called docDownload), you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any rules that might be posted from time to time on docDownload, in order to become or to remain a Member of docDownload.

Notification of changes in service will be posted on docDownload, or sent via e-mail. By continuing to use docDownload after the posting of such Notices, you agree to be bound by such changes.

2. COPYRIGHT TRANSFER TO MEMBERS

   1. Copyright for all material available on the docDownload website is declared under Copyright Act, 1968. Copyright subsists in the various forms of work and subject matter commonly called templates offered both for free and for sale on and accessible from the docDownload website.

   2. docDownload exists to offer and sell to its Members and casual buyers on the website (hereinafter called the Customer) the copyright to its templates. However, it is understood between docDownload and the Customer that this copyright is limited. In general terms docDownload is transferring to the Customer the right to make as many documents from the template as (s)he requires, but not the right to on sell or trade in or distribute to others either freely or for profit the template or any document prepared from the template intended to be used as a template.

   3. docDownload grants to its member a limited licence to download and display its copyright material for both private and commercial purposes, only after the template has been changed from a generic template to a particular living document. At that moment, the ownership of the copyright transfers to the customer. While the material downloaded from the docDownload site remains in template form the limited licence remains. The customer may use the template, which shall always contain the limited licence described in this declaration, to reproduce unlimited new documents where the copyright transfers to the customer.

   4. No part of the material downloaded either in whole or in part may be on sold or traded or distributed to others either freely or for profit to be used as a template.

   5. For reproduction or use of the docDownload copyright material beyond this limited licence, permission must be sought and no permission to reproduce or use the docDownload copyright material, other than that expressly stated above, is to be implied by the availability of that material on this site.

3. LIMITED PURPOSE

   1. The document made available to the customer for download has been prepared by docDownload to help the customer prepare a document which is similar to, but not the same as, the docDownload document. The docDownload document is only a template. This means that it is understood and agreed that the document has been prepared with historical details derived from another set of experiences than the document the customer is about to prepare. These experiences have been used simply as an example of what the customer's new document could look like. Wherever the law or international standards might apply to the document, an attempt has been made to make the document lawful, compliant and complete. However it is impossible for docDownload to guarantee this lawfulness, compliance and completeness. docDownload does not warrant the document the customer downloads as fit for any purpose, nor does it warrant that the document will achieve any particular objective, nor does it warrant the truth, fairness or efficacy of any statements contained within the document.

   2. If the customer downloads a document (s)he is agreeing to accept full responsibility for the document, its lawfulness, compliance and completeness, and to absolve and release docDownload from any responsibility or liability for the document and for any use that you may make of it.

4. MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS

   1. When you become a Member of docDownload you gain access to all in-house templates (those with a BLUE or a GREEN icon) and any associated information and material being offered on docDownload for one year following acceptance of your Membership application. docDownload may however change, suspend, or discontinue at any time any template or any associated information or material that might have been available on docDownload.

   2. docDownload may from time to time offer third party products to be downloaded from the docDownload website. These will be identified by a RED icon. A member does not have free access to a third party product. The reason for this is that the third party requires payment for each download and will not allow free access to docDownload members. An active member does however receive an automatic discount of 10% off the listed price of any third party product offered for sale on the docDownload website. No other website user will receive a discount off a third party product.

Membership Options

Membership comparison table

1. Individual membership (Single Licence) - $365 AUD per annum
   docDownload recognises that an individual will only have particular needs, and will therefore only use a small proportion of the documents on offer. For instance, an individual may be interested in Resumes, in the Last Will and Testaments, in Family History and in the Human Resources documents that refer to pay and conditions of employment. We have therefore reduced the individual's membership fee to $365 AUD per annum (based on $1 per day).

2. Business membership (Single Licence) - $520 AUD per annum
   If you are a small business you may only need one password as people in the office can co-operate on its use. We have set the fee at $520 AUD per annum ($10 per week). It is however important to register as a business member rather than as an individual so that docDownload knows who it is dealing with and is therefore capable of satisfying your particular business needs. This is especially important when it comes to requests for new documents, which can only be judged on their requirements and merit.

3. Corporate Membership (Six user licence) - $1560 AUD per annum.
   Multi user licences are necessary for the corporate user, but we have found that often the six user licence is a good alternative because usually more than six users can be issued with the password because with six uses available they rarely find all in use at once - people tend to use the site at different times in the day, reducing the risk of conflict. Alternatively we can set up six accounts and issue different passwords for each account.

4. More than 6 users - (multi user licence) - Service Level Agreement.
   A large organization will have particular needs that cannot be satisfied by a normal 6 user licence. In this case we are happy to come to see you and assess your needs and put together a service level agreement particular to those needs.

Payment options

docDownload offer two payment options:

1. Credit card
   World-class, safe and certificated credit card arrangements are available for those people wanting to buy a single document or wishing to pay for their annual membership via credit card.

2. Cheque
   In Australia most corporate users will prefer to pay by cheque. We have set up a means for generating a docDownload tax invoice which is required by Australian tax law which you can use to justify your membership payment. This generation of the invoice will be notified to us and as soon as we receive your cheque we will be ready to start the docDownload account and we will ring you or email you with the password.
