In consideration for such licence, you also agree to comply with the terms of use set out in Schedule 4 as the same may be updated from time to time by us and notified to you in writing.

4. Calculator and Estimates
4.1 Background: The calculator is a reinstatement insurance calculator which provides estimates as to the likely reinstatement amount for a property (including allowances for demolition and site clearance, etc.) based on information made available to Valocity by various third party sources and/or provided to Valocity by you (“Relevant Data”).
4.2 Disclaimer: The calculator produces estimates by analysing the Relevant Data against construction industry data available to Valocity on the date on which the Estimate is produced (“Industry Data”). Valocity does not guarantee the accuracy of any data used in the calculation of estimates. Further, the data used by the calculator may not accurately record specific details relating to your property, or may be outdated, incomplete or otherwise inaccurate. As a result, the calculator is not intended to replace or replicate a professional valuation or quantity surveyor assessment, and is not a recommendation and does not constitute personalised financial advice. By using the calculator, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for considering the Estimate in light of your knowledge of the subject property, and for determining whether that Estimate is appropriate based on that knowledge. You acknowledge and agree that, should you have any questions or concerns in relation to an Estimate, you are solely responsible for seeking specific advice from a duly qualified professional (such as a valuer or quantity surveyor).
4.4 Pre-populated Information: At the time you submit a request for an Estimate, certain details relating to your property may be pre-populated by the calculator (“Pre-populated Information”). You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for confirming the accuracy of any Pre-populated Information. Where Pre-populated Information is not amended or updated by you, the Estimate will be produced on the basis and assumption that you have reviewed and confirm that the Pre- populated Information is accurate. Valocity takes no responsibility for, and is not liable for, any inaccuracies with any Estimate that arise as a result of a failure by you to correct inaccurate Pre-populated Information.
4.5 Industry Data: While Valocity uses commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure the Industry Data is up to date, regular variations in construction costs mean the Industry Data may be outdated as at the date you request an Estimate. By using the calculator, you acknowledge and agree that:
(a) the Estimate may be or may become inaccurate or out of date at any time;
(b) Estimates are produced based on Industry Data available in the relevant region, and may therefore be less accurate in regions where less construction data is available to Valocity, or where the information is of a lower quality in nature.
4.6 Further Acknowledgements: In addition to the acknowledgements given in clause 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 above, you further acknowledge and agree that:
(a) Estimates are generated without a physical inspection of the subject property, and without taking into account or making any allowance for:
(i) Any details relating to the property and/or property features beyond those notified to Valocity by you;
(ii) The location of the property, or any applicable local laws (including local planning requirements), except where expressly identified;
(iii) Variations in construction costs which arise as a result of any specific requirements as to materials used, or the complexity of the replacement work required;
(iv) Variations in market conditions based on time or location, or general variations to the construction industry as a whole;
(v) Fluctuations in construction and/or materials costs or costing information;
(vi) Any requirements relating to statutory consents, including costs associated with obtaining resource and building consents;
(vii) Any engineering costs or other design requirements associated with the improvement or replacement; or
(viii) Ancillary costs which may be related with, but are not directly associated with, the reinstatement work (including but not limited to, rental costs and the costs of rectifying damage caused during any demolition work done as a part of the reinstatement).
(b) The calculator does not make any allowances for any particular insurance policy conditions or tolerances that may be contained insurance policy(s) relating to the subject property (either in existence now, or obtained in the future).
(c) It is not or may not be appropriate to use the calculator in relation to properties located in areas heightened natural hazards such as earth quake or flood zones. For such properties, a specific estimate, together with specific engineering advice, should be sought from a duly qualified professional (such as a valuer or quantity surveyor).
4.7 Warranties and Liability:
(a) Valocity does not warrant the accuracy, currency or completeness of any Estimate.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Valocity excludes all loss or damage howsoever arising (including through negligence) in connection with any Estimate. Valocity accepts no liability for the accuracy of, your reliance on, or your use of the calculator.
(c) Valocity does not accept any responsibility for the data provided by you when using, or the third party data that is incorporated into or used by, the calculator.
(d) For the avoidance of any doubt, clause 6 will apply in relation to Valocity’s liability in respect of your use of the calculator and the estimates produced by it.
4.8 Permitted Purpose: You will only use the calculator and the estimates produced by it for your own personal use (and not for any commercial gain or benefit).
4.9 Security: When you submit personal information including credit or debit card details, a secure server is used. We protect your information during transmission by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts your information when transmitted over the internet. You can check that the SSL is active by looking for the padlock symbol on many browsers. We will take reasonable steps to protect the information for misuse and loss from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
4.10 Commencement of Services: You acknowledge and agree that we may withhold notifying the Service Provider to commence performing the relevant Services, or providing you with the relevant Reports, and the Service Provider is not required to commence the relevant Services, until we have received confirmation of payment of the applicable Fees in full.
