Before you access the Paylab Platform, create an Account or use the Services, it is important that you read, understand, and agree to the Conditions.

In accessing the Paylab Platform, creating an Account, using the Services or clicking a box to agree to the Conditions, you agree to be bound by the most current version of the Conditions published on the Paylab Platform. If you do not accept the Conditions, you must refrain from accessing the Paylab Platform and using the Services.

You may not create an Account if you are not of legal age (unless you have parental consent) or do not have legal capacity to form a binding contract with us.

Creating an Account

In order for you to be eligible to create an Account with us, you must be a current employee, contractor, officer or director of your Employer working for your Employer either on a full-time basis, part-time basis, as a casual or under a flexible arrangement. In order for us to create your Account and provide the Services to you, you must complete your account registration details as required on the Paylab Platform and agree to the Conditions. When registering as an Account holder, you must accept your unique invitation sent by us to your email account (as registered within your Employer’s payroll system) and authorise us to retrieve information (including your personal details and your bank account details) from your Employer’s payroll records. You will also be asked to create PIN or biometrics to access the Paylab Platform. While it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes to your registration information, you acknowledge and agree that your Employer may notify us of any changes to your registration information for the purposes of updating your information, including in particular if you give your Employer notice of termination of employment, or if your Employer gives you notice of termination of employment. We will treat your personal information strictly in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You must not impersonate or create an Account for any person other than yourself (save as provided for in these Conditions). You may only create one Account. You are allowed to share your Account with up to three family members who reside in your household (“Additional Members”), provided that You retain overall responsibility for compliance with these Conditions and payment of any amounts owing to us under these Conditions. The Additional Members must also comply with these Conditions as if they were the primary holder of the Account, and references to “You” in these Conditions apply, as relevant, to the Additional Members.

We may at any time request a form of identification to verify your identity.

You must ensure the security and confidentiality of your Account details, including your pin or biometrics. You are wholly responsible for all activities which occur using your Account details and you are liable for any loss, cost, damage, or expense to you or any other person that may arise as a result of that activity. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your Account or Account details. You must not permit your Account details to be used by any other person.

We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Account or access to all or any part of the Paylab Platform without notice to you, including if we believe you are abusing the Services in any way, where we reasonably consider account activity to be suspicious, where we consider it reasonably necessary to prevent fraud or limit or otherwise protect us against any legal, regulatory or non-payment risk, if you provide any inaccurate or incomplete information to us, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect you have, you fail to continue to meet the eligibility criteria to create an account, your Employer requests us to do so, where requests are made by law enforcement or other government agencies to do so, or where you have breached the Conditions or are no longer an active member.

Where we do suspend or terminate your Account, any Payment Requests (as detailed below) submitted but not yet approved will be cancelled.

You further agree to:

allow Paylab to collect information, on your behalf, using your credentials on Third Party platforms;
authorise us to use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy;
provide your information to Third Parties in accordance with the Conditions to provide the Services.

By entering into these Conditions and accessing the Paylab Platform, you represent and warrant that all information provided, and to be provided, in accordance with these Conditions is accurate, complete and current, and you will use the Paylab Platform in accordance with these Conditions.

Provision of Services

Once your Account has been set up, you can make a Payment Request at any time. Each Payment Request must be less than or equal to your Available pay or be made by making a Card Payment. We reserve the right to have a minimum amount which can be accessed via a Payment Request.

No Payment Requests will be approved and paid to you where you are in default of your obligations under these Terms, where, by processing a Payment Request, you will exceed your Available pay (except where you make a Card Payment), or where in Paylab’s discretion you no longer meet the eligibility criteria to maintain an open Account with Paylab.

Once a Payment Request has been approved, we will process the Payment Request and pay it to you in the manner requested (as either a Cash Payment or by electronically delivering a Gift Card to you that can be used either as a form of payment at a relevant retailer or to gift to another person (a “Gift Card Payment”)). Once a Payment Request has been paid, we will update your Available pay to reflect the Payment Request.

Once your Payment Request has been submitted, you cannot cancel or change the Payment Request via your Account. Once a Payment Request has been approved, you cannot cancel or change your Payment Request.

Once the Gift Card Payment or Cash Payment have been made or processed, we will, where you are using your Available pay, deduct the amount of the approved Payment Request directly from your salary or wages in your next Pay Cycle (or, if your employment terminates before your next Pay Cycle, we will deduct the amount of the approved Payment Request directly from your employment entitlements before they are paid to you by your Employer).

If your Payment Request has been rejected, you will not receive any payment and your Available pay will not be reduced. However, you may submit another Payment Request.

Any Cash Payment made to you in accordance with these Conditions is not consumer credit as defined in, and is not regulated under, the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth).

Any Gift Card Payment made to you in accordance with these Conditions is exempt from, and is not regulated under, the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth), the Payment Systems (Regulation) Act 1998 (Cth) (PSRA), the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any class orders issued by the Australian Investment and Securities Commission (ASIC), including without limitation ASIC Corporations (Non-cash Payment Facilities) Instrument 2016/211, and any declarations made by the Reserve Bank of Australia relating to Gift Cards.

Both Cash Payments and Gift Card Payments are, where you are using Available pay, made to you as an advance of money on account of wages for the purposes of section 560 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and as such we claim the right of priority given by that section to the full extent permitted under that section.

Card Payments

As an alternative to using your Available pay (where available) you will also be able to make a Gift Card purchase by using a debit or credit card. To make a payment by credit or debit card (Card Payment) you need to follow the steps as they appear on the Paylab Platform. We are not responsible for the money you have uploaded until we have received it. For clarity, in an upload transaction, we are the recipient of funds and not the payment services provider. Making Card Payments is not part of our Services, they are services provided by third parties, for example, the card provider which issued you with your credit/debit card. We cannot guarantee the use of any particular Card Payment and may change or stop offering a Card Payment at any time without notice to you.

If you made a Card Payment which gives you chargeback rights (for example in relation to your credit card, you may contact your card provider to dispute a transaction on your card), you promise that you will only exercise this chargeback right if:

(a) we have breached this Agreement; or

(b) there was an unauthorised use of your payment instrument.

You confirm that you will not exercise your chargeback right for reasons which we are not responsible, including a dispute with your recipient or if there are insufficient funds in your payment instrument. If we need to investigate or take any action in connection with a chargeback raised by you, we may charge you for our costs in doing so (including, if applicable,deducting such amount from any Available pay).

For legal and security reasons, we may impose limits on how much you can spend using a Card Payment.

Paylab has engaged a payment gateway service provider to secure all aspects involving Card Payments. All customer information is securely submitted and processed entirely on specialised third party systems; Paylab cannot access, view, process and we do not store sensitive cardholder data (such as card numbers, PIN codes or CVV/CVC codes).

Our third party payment services provider is certified to meet the regulatory security requirements outlined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (or PCIDSS). PCIDSS certification is required by banks and credit card issuers in order to allow merchants such as Paylab to accept payments from customer credit cards. As part of the certification process, our third party payment services provider is required to implement stringent security controls and undertake regular independent security audits to maintain its certification and security assurance levels.

Fees and surcharges

You may be charged a Service fee for each Cash Payment made to you. The Service fee will be added to the amount to the Cash Payment amount to be deducted from your Payroll.

The rate of interest charged on Cash Payments made to you is nil.

We may vary the amount, frequency and time for payment of the Service fee and impose new fees and charges without your consent by giving you at least 20 days’ written notice in compliance with the law. Any changes will only apply to any new Payment Request/s made by you after the changes. If you are unhappy with any of the changes, you may terminate these Conditions in accordance with their terms.

You will not be charged a Service fee for any Gift Card Payment made to you unless you are advised of such Service fee and you agree to proceed with a Gift Card Payment with an attaching Service fee.

You will be charged a surcharge to recover the cost of processing a Card Payment, known as the cost of accepting card payments. Paylab does not profit from surcharging on processing credit/debit card transactions.

Gift Card Terms of Use

Paylab provides you access and the ability to purchase Gift Cards using the wages you have already earned or by making a Card Payment. These Gift Cards can be used to shop at over 100 major retailers.

By using or attempting to use Gift Cards purchased via the Paylab App, or by making a transaction enquiry or exercising any right to redeem value of a Gift Cards purchased via the Paylab App, you:

agree to be bound by these Terms;
warrant to us that you will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, and that any Gift Cards purchased via the Paylab App will not be used in any manner that is unlawful, misleading, deceptive, unfair or otherwise harmful to other consumers; and
acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

Using a Gift Card purchased via the Paylab App

Use your Paylab Available pay or make a Card Payment to purchase fixed or variable value Gift Cards that can be redeemed to undertake transactions at relevant retailers;
Once a Gift Card purchase has been completed, the Gift Card will be delivered to you via the Paylab App;
Gift Cards purchased through the Paylab App can be redeemed at participating retailers and will be subject to the Gift Card Terms applied by each relevant retailer. It is your responsibility (as the user of the Paylab App) to check the terms and conditions applicable to the relevant Gift Cards and understand prior to purchase whether the relevant Gift Card can be redeemed online/in-store or used to partly pay or pay in full for transactions completed; and
To complete a purchase at a participating retailer using a Gift Card purchased via the Paylab App, simply present the Gift Card details at the in-store checkout or include the Gift Card details into your online payment details when purchasing online (where online purchasing is available under the Gift Card Terms). Partly used Gift Cards will be accessible via your “wallet” within the Paylab App. You may wish to record the remaining balance of a partly used Gift Card in the Paylab App for easy reference at a later date.

Gift Cards that you purchase through our Services are issued by participating third-party retailers (Retailers). Your purchase of each Gift Card is governed by the terms and conditions established by the issuing Retailer in addition to these Terms. Retailers may set expiration dates for Gift Cards in addition to other restrictions and requirements. Please review all of the applicable Retailer’s terms and conditions prior to the purchase of any Gift Card. If you have questions relating to the applicable Retailer’s terms and conditions, please contact the issuing Retailer directly. As Retailers are the issuers of Gift Cards, Retailers (and not Paylab) are fully responsible for all aspects of their Gift Card programs. Retailers are responsible for all liabilities and costs suffered by you or any other party caused – directly or indirectly – by the Retailer or their products or services. We have no obligation to resolve any dispute between you and any Retailer. Paylab endeavours to work with reputable Retailers, however Paylab holds no liability for the sale of products or services provided to you by a Retailer. In purchasing a Gift Card from an issuing Retailer, you waive and release Paylab and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any liabilities arising from or related to any act or omission of a Retailer. Following the purchase of a Gift Card, Paylab is not responsible or liable to you in the event that a Retailer discontinues its Gift Cards or is unable to or refuses to redeem a Gift Card (including for reasons such as their insolvency, external administration or forced closure). Neither Paylab nor any Retailer is responsible for lost, deleted or stolen Gift Cards.

All Gift Cards sold via our Services are already activated at time of delivery from Paylab.

No cash advances

You cannot redeem any part of your purchased Gift Card for cash.

Validity and expiry of Gift Cards

Your purchased Gift Card will be valid for use until the Expiry Date. Any remaining value on the Gift Card that remains after the Expiry Date will not be available for use. To check the Expiry Date of your purchased Gift Card, please check the “Details” relating to the particular Gift Card.

No exchange of Gift Cards

You cannot exchange your Gift Card issued by one retailer for a Gift Card issued by a different retailer. Gift Cards cannot be reloaded or topped up or refunded.

Sending Gift Cards to other people

You are able to send or gift any Gift Card you purchase through our Services to another person (Recipient). Each time you send a Gift Card you purchase through our Services to a Recipient you will be notified when we have sent the Gift Card to the Recipient. Once the Gift Card has been received by the Recipient we no longer accept responsibility for the Gift Card.

If the Recipient has not received their Gift Card, we suggest that you ask the Recipient to check their junk mail (if sent by email) or mobile settings (if sent by SMS). You are responsible for entering the correct details for the Recipient, and we are not liable for Gift Cards lost where the Gift Card is sent using incorrect details or where received by an unintended Recipient.

In the event that the details you have entered are incorrect please contact us at support@paylab.com.au so we can review your request and, where we are able, re-direct the Gift Card to the correct details. If by accident you have entered incorrect details and the Gift Card has already been redeemed by an unintended Recipient we will be unable to assist with your request.

You are responsible for the use and safety of your Gift Card. You are liable for all transactions using your Gift Card, except to the extent to which there has been negligence by us. Protect your Gift Card information by viewing it in privacy to ensure no one views and records your Gift Card information. We strongly encourage all users to have a passcode or other device locking security functionality on your mobile device.

We reserve the right to change any of these Terms at any time where the change is required:

To add or remove participating retailers or where a Gift Card may be redeemed, including but not limited to where a participating retailer ceases to carry on business;
For infrastructural, systems, administrative or operational reasons or to prevent the occurrence of fraud or other unlawful or unacceptable conduct;
To comply with any contract, law, regulation or statute or order or judgment of any court, tribunal or other body having competent jurisdiction; or
Where we, acting reasonably, consider that it will not be to your detriment;

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle the personal information that we may collect from you with respect to Gift Card purchases. It is important that you carefully read and understand the Privacy Policy.

Errors and complaints

If you have reason to believe that an error has occurred in relation to your Gift Card purchase, please contact support@paylab.com.au. Any complaints about goods or services bought with a Gift Card must be resolved directly with the relevant Retailer.

Fees

There are no fees associated with your Gift Card purchase.

Where you make a Gift Card purchase using a Card Payment you will be charged a surcharge to recover the cost of processing a Card Payment (as described above).

Faulty Gift Card purchases

A re-issue of faulty Gift Cards is not available unless the fault with the Gift Card is proven to be a result of the issuing process or otherwise due to the fault of us or our agents or contractors or where otherwise required by law.

Refunds

Paylab can only assist you with a refund for a Gift Card purchased using the Paylab App if there is a problem with the issuing process that prevents the Gift Card from being capable of being redeemed. If you seek a return or refund of a Gift Card please contact support@paylab.com.au with the reason for your request and proof of purchase for us to review.

If any value on a Gift Card has been spent, we are unable to process a return or refund unless required to by law. Paylab is not responsible for the refund of purchase price or return of any products purchased from Retailers.
