Last updated: 7 July 2026, Business Benchmark for Landscapers
These terms apply to your participation in the Business Benchmark for Landscapers (the “Benchmark”), provided by Pulse Signal Pty Ltd (ABN 20 697 556 531) (“Pulse”, “we”, “us”). By connecting your accounting software and taking part, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Your agreement for the Benchmark is with Pulse. Your landscaping association sponsors the Benchmark and makes members aware of it. The association is not the operator of the Benchmark and is not the controller of your data: it does not collect, hold or see any individual member’s figures, and it is not responsible for how your data is handled or for anything in your report. Your recourse in relation to your data and the Benchmark is with Pulse, not the association.
The Benchmark is offered to members of a participating landscaping association. At this stage it is available to businesses using Xero.
By connecting, you confirm that you are authorised to connect that Xero organisation and to grant read-only access to its data, that the data you make available is accurate so far as you are aware, and that you will keep your own credentials secure.
We provide a confidential benchmark report based on your own accounting figures and an anonymous comparison to other landscapers. The report is general information only. It is not financial, tax, accounting or business advice, and you should not rely on it as such. For decisions about your business, speak to your accountant or a licensed adviser. We do not warrant that the report is accurate, complete, or fit for any particular purpose.
The Benchmark is a free, open pilot. We may extend, change, suspend or end the pilot, or your access to it, at any time, giving at least 30 days’ notice of a material change. When your participation ends, we stop accessing your accounting data.
You agree to use the Benchmark lawfully. You must not attempt to access another member’s data, reverse engineer or interfere with the service or its security, or share your access with others.
You consent to your figures being de-identified and combined with other participants’ to produce the anonymous peer benchmarks. This pooled, de-identified data is used to provide the Benchmark and is not sold. We will not attempt to re-identify you from it, and once your data has been combined into a past benchmark that contribution cannot be withdrawn. We handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We own the methodology, analysis and report format, and the aggregated benchmark outputs. You own your own accounting data; we do not claim ownership of it. You may use your own report for your business; you may not copy, resell or create derivative products from the Benchmark.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the report, which is general information and not advice. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent we are permitted to limit our liability, our liability is limited to re-supplying the Benchmark, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.
You indemnify us for loss we suffer arising from your breach of these terms, your unlawful use of the Benchmark, or data you provide that you were not authorised to provide.
We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms, or where reasonably necessary to protect the service or other members, giving you notice where practicable. On termination we stop accessing your data and handle it as set out in the Privacy Policy.
We may assign or novate these terms (for example on a corporate restructure); you may not assign yours without our consent. If any provision is held invalid, the rest continues in force. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Benchmark. A failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. We may vary these terms on at least 30 days’ notice of a material change. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including third-party platform or Xero outages.
If a dispute arises, the parties will first try in good faith to resolve it by discussion before taking legal action. Notices to us may be sent to hello@pulsesignal.com.au; notices to you may be sent through the Benchmark or to the contact you provide.
These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and you submit to the courts of that jurisdiction.
You accept these terms by ticking to agree when you connect. We record the date, and the version of these terms, that you agreed to.
