Introduction
Postcode designations reflect our dynamic and growing nation. Since the
initial release of our Australian Postcode Map Series in October 2006, we have developed a
program to systematically incorporate additions and boundary changes into our products.
The definitive source of Postcode designations resides with Australia Post, who regularly
post tabular updates on their web site - these are available to download free of charge here.
Our commitment to supporting our clients means that typically, our Data
products reflect all posted changes within five business days of them appearing on the
Australia Post web site. We are very proud of our innovative technical achievements in
this area. During the time following first release, we added or made boundary adjustments
for over 450 Postcodes! By contrast, take a look at the last
government supported postcode data (withdrawn in early 2006) - not updated since 1997
at best and for most of the nation dating as far back as 1992!!
We are pleased to now offer you, our customers, a subscription-based
Postcode Product Update Service.
The service offered is available for both our Map Series product range, and for
our GIS Data range.
In order to keep administrative costs down and thus cost of the service, the Update
Service will typically extend through a calendar year. This will apply regardless of when
you may choose to subscribe during any year.
The Update Service in a nutshell
The update(s) available to you will be based on the Postcode products you
have Licensed to you. The cost of the Subscription relates directly to the listed price of
the Products - 20% of the total listed price or A$200.00, whichever is higher.
The nature of the Service is slightly different for the two main product
lines:
We will re-create the Map Series range twice each year, thereby ensuring
all Postcode data updates are incorporated and made available to Subscribers twice during
any subscription period. Target dates are mid-year and end of year. There is likely to be
some variation around target dates, depending primarily on release dates and changed
content for Australia Post table updates, but based on the past year, within two weeks
either side of June 30th and December 30th. If you do not receive an update, there have
not been any changes made in the regions covered by your products (only Tasmania fell into
that category in the period October 2006 - October 2008).
Delivery method will be the same as your originals and will attract the
same modest shipping charge, which will be added to Map Series Subscriptions (we can
invoice you separately for shipping as it falls due if required; this option just seems to
be a sensible approach).
We will use the same encryption key(s) as were generated for your
original purchases, unless there is a reason to create new ones, such as security
concerns. Please communicate with us directly about such matters if required.
Unless instructed otherwise, we will ship to the same contact person and
shipping address as used on your original products. Please notify us of personnel or
address changes so we can keep our records up to date - without that information, this
Service cannot operate!
We will e-mail GIS data updates as encrypted compressed archive files
where size is under 10MB, or transmit via FTP where size is over 10MB. This will happen
four times each calendar year. Target dates are ends of March, June, September and
December. Please note that we will forward an update only if there have been changes since
the previous update / original purchase. If you do not receive an update, there have not
been any changes made in the regions covered by your products (only Tasmania fell into
that category in the period October 2006 - October 2008).
We will use the same encryption key(s) as were generated for your
original purchases, unless there is a reason to create new ones, such as security
concerns. Please communicate with us directly about such matters if required.
No shipping charge applies for e-mail / FTP transmission. However should
you wish to receive update(s) on disc, standard disc
creation / shipping charges will be additional to the basic subscription.
Unless instructed otherwise, we will ship to the same contact person and
shipping address as used on your original products. Please notify us of personnel or
address changes so we can keep our records up to date - without that information, this
Service cannot operate!
