Acceptance

You accept these Terms, including our Privacy Policy, by downloading or using our Platform. These Terms will commence on the date on which you accept these Terms and will continue until the date these Terms are terminated in accordance with the Termination clause below (Term).

If you access or download our Platform from (1) the App Store, you agree to any Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service or (2) the Google Play Store, you agree to the Android, Google Inc. Terms and Conditions including the Google App Terms of Service.

Signing up to our platform

You must register on our Platform and create an account (Account) to access the functionality of our Platform. You must provide basic information when registering for an Account, such as your name, email address and phone number and you will be sent an SMS message to verify your phone number. You agree to ensure that any information you give to us when creating an Account, including personal information, is accurate and up-to-date.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your Account. At our sole discretion, we may refuse to allow any person to register or create an Account.

Once you have created an Account, you will be given the option to link your banking, credit card, and/or other payment services details, as well as your service providers such as your energy and internet providers and plans, so that we can provide you with insights, data and recommendations on your financial habits (Linked Services). You do not have to connect these Linked Services to your Account, however if you do not, then this may limit your ability to benefit from the Platform.

Early access members

If you sign up for an Account prior to the official launch of our Platform, as notified by us to you (Beta Testing Period) as an early access member, you understand that we are beta testing the Platform during this time, and as such you agree: (1) that we may make changes to the Platform (including amending any features and performing updates and fixes) at any time during the Beta Testing Period and without your consent; and (2) we make no commitments as to the availability of the Platform during the Beta Testing Period.

Fees

You may access our Platform and some of its features for free or you may choose to upgrade to a premium subscription (Premium Subscription). Our Premium Subscription offerings and subscription periods are as set out on our Platform.

If you choose a Premium Subscription, you will be required to and you agree to pay us the fees set out on the Platform in relation to your chosen Premium Subscription to benefit from the selected features (Subscription Fee).

You must pay the Subscription Fee in advance for each billing cycle via one of the payment methods set out on the Platform. The Subscription Fee will be automatically debited on the billing date set out on the Platform (Billing Date). The direct debit arrangement may be subject to additional terms and conditions from third-party payment providers, as set out on the Platform.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to your Statutory Rights, the Subscription Fee is non-refundable.

Your Premium Subscription will automatically renew for the same term as your initial Premium Subscription period unless you cancel your Premium Subscription. You can read more about our cancellation policy below.
The Subscription Fee includes GST. You are responsible for all taxes, levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities in your own country, and you shall be responsible for payment of them. We have no responsibility to them on your behalf.

We may offer promotional offers and special discounts from time to time which will be subject to separate terms and conditions to be read in conjunction with these Terms.

We may modify the Subscription Fees from time to time upon notice to you. The updated Subscription Fees will apply to the next Billing Date after the change has occurred. The notice may be provided at any time via email or via notification to your Account. If you do not agree to the price change, you may cancel your Premium Subscription in accordance with the cancellation clause below.

Changes, refunds, holds and cancellations

Changing your subscription

You may upgrade or downgrade your Premium Subscription at any time in the Account page / manage subscription page (or similar) or by sending us an email. The payment method linked to your Account will automatically be charged the Subscription Fee for your new Premium Subscription on the next Billing Date.

Cancelling your subscription

You may cancel your Premium Subscription at any time by providing us notice (which you may provide via email or through the Platform). We will provide you with confirmation that your Premium Subscription has been cancelled via email or via the Platform. After you receive confirmation from us of cancellation of your Premium Subscription, your access to the features of your Premium Subscription will continue until the next Billing Date. You will still be able to use the free features of the Platform.

To the extent permitted by law, and subject to your Statutory Rights, no refunds will be made upon cancellation. Where you have cancelled your Premium Subscription due to change of mind or other circumstances, we do not provide refunds of the Subscription Fee. We do not allow for a Premium Subscription to be put on hold or “frozen”.
