You retain ownership of Content that you upload or submit to the Portal. By submitting Content, you grant Seddon a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, reproduce, and display that Content solely for the purposes of managing and delivering the relevant Project.

5.2 Seddon Content

All Portal software, design, branding, documentation, and materials created by or on behalf of Seddon remain the exclusive property of Seddon or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to Seddon's intellectual property beyond the limited right to use the Portal as authorised.

5.3 Accuracy of Submissions

You are responsible for ensuring that all Content you submit is accurate, complete, and submitted in a timely manner. Seddon is entitled to rely on submissions made through the Portal as an accurate record of works, approvals, and communications.

6. Project Data and Confidentiality

Information shared through the Portal in connection with a Project may be commercially sensitive. You agree to treat all Project-related information accessed through the Portal as confidential and to use it only for the purposes of delivering or overseeing the relevant Project.

You must not disclose Project information to any third party without Seddon's prior written consent, except where disclosure is required by law or is necessary to fulfil your contractual obligations on the Project.

7. Approvals and Sign-Off

Where the Portal is used to record approvals, sign-offs, or confirmations, such records constitute evidence of the action taken at the time recorded. Users granting approvals through the Portal confirm that they have the authority to do so on behalf of their organisation.

Seddon is not responsible for approvals granted by Users who lack the necessary authority within their organisation.

8. Availability and Maintenance

We aim to keep the Portal available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Portal may be unavailable during scheduled maintenance, upgrades, or due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Seddon will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of planned maintenance where practicable. We accept no liability for any loss arising from temporary unavailability of the Portal.

9. Suspension and Termination

9.2 By You

You may request deactivation of your Portal account at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 15. Deactivation does not affect our right to retain Project records in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

9.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your access, your right to use the Portal ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13) will continue to apply.
