1. Purpose of the Agreement: You have agreed with your Nominated Financial Adviser (“Adviser”) that you would like to utilise Netwealth’s feature known as “Document Sharing” to communicate with your Adviser and to receive Materials, including information, from your Adviser.

(a) desktop computers, laptops, and workstations; and
(b) Mobile Devices (as defined below).
2.2 Document Sharing means the feature made available by Netwealth via the Netwealth App on your Mobile Device or via Netwealth website (subject to future availability), which provides your Adviser with the ability to notify you that Materials are available and provides you with a link to view, download such Materials, and/or communicate with your Adviser (the functionality available to you within Document Sharing is determined by your Adviser).
2.3 Materials means:
(a) any and all documents, information, data and other items shared by you or your Adviser using Document Sharing; and
(b) all communications with your Adviser facilitated by Document Sharing, including but not limited to communications using any chat, messaging or commenting capability, which may be between you, your Adviser and/or any other party introduced into such communications by you or your Adviser.
2.4 Mobile Devices means smartphones, tablets, and other portable handheld devices that are enabled for cellular or wireless internet connection.
2.5 Netwealth App means the Netwealth smartphone application, available for iOS and Android.

(b) officers, employees, agents, contractors or sub-contractors of Netwealth or of a related body corporate of Netwealth; or
(c) a financial, tax, accounting or legal adviser or other expert adviser to Netwealth or to a related body corporate of Netwealth.
3. Licence and Access: You have a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable right to access and use Document Sharing for the sole purpose of receiving Materials from, sharing Materials to, and/or communicating with, your Adviser. You agree to use Document Sharing only for its intended purpose and in keeping with any guidelines given to you by your Adviser and/or by Netwealth.
4. Acknowledgements, Representations and Warranties:
You understand that:
(a) Netwealth may engage its Representatives to help Netwealth deliver Document Sharing;
(b) any questions or concerns you may have relating to the Materials or the storage of Materials by your Adviser on its systems should be directed to your Adviser;
(c) Document Sharing requires that your Adviser have active licence(s) to use certain third party software, and for your Adviser to maintain and update the third party software, and that Netwealth has no control or supervision over the activities between your Adviser and third party software providers;
(d) Document Sharing is not a financial product;
(e) Document Sharing may only be accessed and used by you for receiving Materials from, sharing Materials to, and otherwise communicating with, your Adviser with respect to its financial services business, and the financial product advice your Adviser provides to you, whether related to your account(s) at Netwealth or otherwise (subject to your arrangement with your Adviser);
(f) Document Sharing is not a documentation retention tool for the Materials, and that while Document Sharing via a Mobile Device will generate a notice to you that Materials are available, the storage of Materials is the responsibility of your Adviser, and that Netwealth's automated systems facilitate the delivery of notifications and links but do not store the content of Materials, and the downloading of Materials occurs outside of Netwealth's systems;
(g) should you wish to retain copies of Materials made available through Document Sharing, you should download and save the Materials to Devices and technology within your control;
(h) if the Materials do not reach you, or are in any way intercepted or captured, Netwealth is not liable for any loss resulting from such transmission (or failure of transmission);
(i) while Netwealth facilitates certain technical setup steps as part of the onboarding process, your Adviser is responsible for configuring your individual access to Document Sharing and Netwealth has no responsibility for ensuring your Adviser has properly set you up;
(j) from time to time, Netwealth may notify users of further minimum Device hardware, operating system version and any specific software required to access Document Sharing;
(k) using pre-release versions of your Device’s operating system may impact Document Sharing being available or working as it should;
(l) Netwealth monitors your Adviser’s activity as part of the provision, development, maintenance and support of Document Sharing;
(m) access to Document Sharing and the Materials via your login credentials will be assumed to be authorised by all account holders who utilise the same login credentials and that if login details are shared by more than one account holder, you should not use Document Sharing unless you accept and agree to the foregoing; and
(n) in the event of any regulatory inquiry or notice relating to Materials shared through Document Sharing, you should direct such inquiries to your Adviser. Materials are stored on your Adviser's systems and Netwealth does not access, review or retain the content of Materials. Netwealth's automated systems interact with your Adviser's systems solely for the purpose of delivering Document Sharing.
5. Restrictions on use:
5.1 You agree not to:
(a) copy, modify, adversely affect, reverse engineer, hack into, reverse compile, decompile or disassemble any part of Document Sharing or software, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, methods or techniques contained within Document Sharing;
