Cyber Experts are individuals or organisations who offer advisory services in parental controls, cyber safety and related matters.
Cyber Experts offer customised features and settings within the Family Zone Controls tailored for the specific needs of customer groups. Cyber Experts may also offer other services outside the Family Zone and may incorporate the Family Zone Services into broader services aimed at making families safe.
To access the Family Zone Services you are encouraged to select a Cyber Expert, but may elect to use a do-it-yourself mode.
A Cyber Expert’s specific role is to introduce customers to the Family Zone and to offer customers a customised version of the Family Zone Controls. Cyber Experts may provide any of these services to you:
Through subscribing to a Cyber Expert you will receive their recommended settings plus ongoing updates and if you choose, ongoing advice and communication from them.
Cyber Expert services in relation to the Family Zone are provided subject to an agreement between you and them. This will be made available to you at the point of selecting a Cyber Expert. If you do not wish to accept those terms then you should not subscribe to the Cyber Expert.
Cyber Experts are independent third parties to Family Zone.
Services provided by Cyber Experts are the responsibility of Cyber Experts and are provided subject to an agreement between you and them.
You may change your Cyber Expert at anytime. Doing so will not automatically change Family Zone Control settings already chosen for your End-Users.
To reflect your new Cyber Experts settings in your End-User Family Zone Control settings you must select a new profile for each End-User. Once changed your new Family Zone Control settings will apply.
If you made modifivcations to the recommended settings by your former Cyber Expert then be advised that these are NOT transferred to your new settings. You must review these and modify them to what your needs.
Choosing a new Cyber Expert may require a new Plan to be entered into. You will not automatically get a credit for any unexpired portion of a subscription paid for your previous Cyber Expert. Please contact your previous Cyber Expert to query this.
Cyber Experts have the right at anytime with at least 30 days notice terminate their services with you. In this event, you must select a new Cyber Expert within that time period. If you do not select a Cyber Expert:
