POLi™ Services

The POLi™ Service is not a credit payment service.

The services available to you using the POLi™ Service are limited to:

1)     If you are using the ‘pay by bank account’ method:

facilitating your use of an electronic funds transfer from your account held with your financial institution, to the Merchant’s bank account, once you are logged into the internet banking system of a financial institution supported by POLi™ with whom your bank account is held, and populating the relevant fields of screen for transferring funds to the Merchant’s account; and

confirming your financial institution’s transaction number, issuing you with a receipt and notifying Us of same.

2 If you are using the ‘pay by POLi™ Payments PayID’ method:

Facilitating your use of an electronic funds transfer from your account held with your financial institution, to the Merchant’s bank account, by way of the processes set out in the POLi™ Payments PayID FAQ (a copy of which is available here, as updated from time to time).

Under both methods, the POLi™ Service gives you the ability to make purchases from the Merchant online from your account held with your financial institution, without the need for you to use a credit card or a scheme debit card.

You agree and acknowledge that:

The POLi™ Service operates separately from your financial institution’s products and services (such as your bank account held with your financial institution), and that your financial institution’s terms, conditions and policies will separately apply to your use of their products and services, including the transfer of funds from your bank account to a third party account. 

If You use the ‘pay by POLi™ Payments PayID’ method, the payments and transactions (including NPP related payments made in error) will be subject to the applicable regulations, procedures, rules, codes, terms and processes of the NPP as well as that of the NPP participants, overlay service providers (if any) and NPP intermediaries, including third-party service providers of POLi™. 

If We use POLi™ to process a refund or return of a previous payment that you initiated using POLi™, then that refund or return is to be directed to the same account from which the original payment was initiated.

The performance of a POLi™ Service (including response or payment times) will depend on factors outside of POLi™’s control (or the control of POLi™’s service providers and/or agents), including the performance of the Merchant’s website and business systems, mobile applications, processes, rules, codes, procedures and policies of the financial institutions involved in the transactions, and the rules and systems and processes of the intermediaries and participants (including NPP participants where applicable), the state of the relevant telecommunications network and their interconnections and network congestion, and / or the occurrence of any force majeure event impacting our business or the business of our service providers or agents.

By utilising the POLi™ Service, you warrant that the account from which you are initiating the payment is your account, that you are permitted under the terms and conditions of your account held with your financial institution to make such a payment to the Merchant, and that you have the capacity and are authorised to make payments from the account from which that payment was made.

Your Internet Banking Facilities and Software

By making POLi™ available to you, We are not making any representation that we or POLi™ have the approval or, an affiliation with, or any licence from or agreement with your financial institution or the financial institution of the Merchant(s) to operate or make POLi™ available for use by you.

In order to access and use the POLi™ Service, you may be required to download certain pre-requisite third party software, that is required for the POLi™ Software to operate. Your download of that third party software is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the licensor of that software.

Disclaimer & Indemnity

We will not be liable to you or any other party for any loss or damage, however caused that you may directly or indirectly suffer in connection with your use of POLi™, including, without limitation, any loss or damage that arises as a result of your download or use of the third party software referred to above, except to the extent that such loss or damage arises as a direct result of Our fraud or wilful misconduct.

To the extent permitted by law, We disclaim all warranties and conditions, express or implied, in respect of POLi™ and your use of POLi™ Service including, without limitation, implied warranties and conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, the process timeframe or performance of POLi™. Where any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) prohibits Us from excluding or modifying any implied warranty or condition, such warranty or condition will be deemed to be included in these Terms, provided that if permitted by law, and where it is fair and reasonable to do so, Our liability for breach thereof will be limited (at Our option) to either resupplying the service, or paying the cost of resupplying the service, in respect of which the breach occurred, and otherwise will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

In no event will We or Our respective directors, officers, employees or agents be liable to you or any other party for any consequential, special, indirect or punitive loss or damages, nor for any lost profits, lost business or lost data, even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages. The foregoing limitations apply regardless of the causes or circumstances giving rise to such loss, damage or liability, even if such loss, damage or liability is based on negligence or other torts or breach of contract including, without limitation, fundamental breach or breach of a fundamental term, except to the extent that the loss, damage or liability arises as a direct result of Our fraud or wilful misconduct.

You will indemnify Us and keep Us harmless from and against any claim made against us by any party arising out of any breach by you of any of your warranties or obligations under these Terms or arising out of your unauthorised, improper or illegal use of POLi™, except where such claim arises as a direct result of Our fraud or wilful misconduct.

Your Obligations

You will ensure that your access to or use of POLi™ is not illegal or prohibited by laws that apply to you.

By using POLi™ or by requesting us to block or unblock your use of the POLi™ Service as set out in these Terms, You confirm that you are fully aware of the nature of the transactions and requests and the impact that it may have on your personal and / or business financial position.  You confirm that you enter into any transactions or requests (as applicable) at your own will and will take your own precautions to ensure that you will have sufficient and legitimate funds to fund the relevant transaction.

You will take your own precautions to ensure that the process that you use for accessing or using POLi™ does not expose you to the risk of viruses, malicious computer code or other forms of interference that may damage your computer system. For the removal of doubt, to the maximum extent permitted by law, We do not accept responsibility for any interference or damage to your computer system that arises in connection with your use of the POLi™ Software.

Where you use the ‘pay by POLi™ Payments PayID’ method, you agree to and acknowledge the processes, limitations and conditions of use (if any) and other details set out in the POLi™ Payments PayID FAQ (referred to above) in connection with any payment transaction.

Fees

We do not charge You a fee for using the POLi™ Service. The Merchant may charge a fee for use of the POLi™ Service; this fee may vary from time to time. You can obtain information about such fees from the Merchant’s website at the time of purchase.

Complaints, Unauthorised Transactions, Mistaken Transactions or Transactions Made in Error

If You believe that there has been an unauthorised or mistaken transaction, or a transaction that was made in error, You should contact your financial institution and endeavour to address the issue under the terms and conditions applicable to your internet banking facility. 

You may also wish to contact the Merchant to whom the payment was made to in order to resolve the matter. Alternatively, You may contact Us by clicking here.

If you have any complaint, You should follow our Dispute Resolution Policy by clicking here.

Blocking and unblocking your use of the POLi™ Service

You may contact Us via the email risk@polipayments.com or call Us on 1300 060 653 if you wish to request for your access to the POLi™ Service to be blocked.  Blocking your access to use the POLi™ Service means that:

If you are using the ‘pay by bank account’ method – you will still be able to log into the internet banking system of a financial institution supported by POLi™ with whom your bank account is held, but no funds transfer will be facilitated by POLi™ from the bank account(s) you have nominated for blocking purposes.  If you have more than one bank account held with a financial institution, it is your responsibility to notify Us and specify at the time of request which of the accounts (or all of the accounts) are to be included for the purposes of us blocking your use of the POLi™ Service.  For example, if you have two bank accounts held with your financial institution, and you do not wish for POLi to facilitate an electronic funds transfer from both bank accounts to the Merchant’s bank account, then you must nominate and specify the details of both accounts when requesting Us to block your access to the POLi™ Service.  If you only specify one of your two bank accounts to Us in this case, then the block to your use of the POLi™ Service will only apply to that bank account, and you will continue to have access to the POLi™ Service for the other bank account which was not nominated by You.

If you use the ‘pay by POLi™ Payments PayID’ method - you are currently not able to request for your access to the POLi™ Service to be blocked. We’re aiming to work towards a solution to facilitate this and will update these Terms once a solution is finalised.

We will promptly action your request following receipt of your request to block your use of the POLi™ Service and any checks that we may reasonably carry out to verify your identity (or such person(s)’ identity(ies) where they act on your behalf).  We will confirm once your access to use the POLi™ Service has been blocked. 

You agree and acknowledge that once your access to use the POLi™ Service has been blocked by Us, the POLi™ Service will not be available to you for use for a period of 6 months from the date it is blocked. 

Following the expiry of the 6-month period and subject to the below paragraph, if you wish to unblock your use of the POLi™ Service, you may contact us via the email or telephone number stated above.  Unblocking your use of the POLi™ Service means that the services will be available to you from the time it is unblocked by Us following your request, and services will operate as described under ‘POLi™ Service’ section (above).

At our discretion and subject to us obtaining any supporting documentation from you (or person(s) acting on your behalf) and any identity checks or verifications as we may reasonably require in connection with this request, we may unblock your use of the POLi™ Service.  We will confirm once your access to use to use the POLi™ Service has been unblocked.  Should you wish to request for your access to use the POLi™ Service to be blocked following this, the same process described above shall apply.   Alternatively, if we decide to not unblock your use of the POLi™ Service upon your request above, the block will remain effective for such time until it is unblocked (following the same process above). 

Please refer to our Community Wellbeing page which sets out general information to support our customers, including those who find themselves in vulnerable circumstances.

Privacy

You agree that you have read and understood, and agree to our privacy statement, a copy of which is available here.

Legal Construction

These Terms will be governed by, and interpreted according to, the laws of Victoria, Australia and you consent to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.

Without limiting the above, a party will not be liable for any failure to comply with these Terms where such failure is due to circumstances beyond that party’s reasonable control.

If We waive any rights available to Us under these Terms on one occasion, this does not mean that those rights will automatically be waived on any other occasion.

If any of these Terms conditions are held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, it will be read down to the extent of the invalidity, unenforceability or illegality, and the remaining terms and conditions shall nevertheless continue in full force.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Us concerning your use of POLi™.

The Terms that were available from Our website at the time of Your transaction will apply to that transaction.

While We retain the right to unilaterally vary these Terms without notice, that variation would only apply to subsequent use of the POLi™.

4.1     You agree to pay us in accordance with the Payment Schedule. You also agree to pay Late Fees in the circumstances described in section 6.

4.2     You agree that we can charge your Card in accordance with the Payment Schedule and any Late Fees payable. You agree to have available funds on your Card at the time we charge it.

4.4     You agree to pay all amounts without any set off or other deduction whether or not you have any issue or dispute with respect to the Goods or the Retailer and whether or not you currently own or have the Goods in your possession.

4.5     You can make a partial prepayment of one or more payments (but not part of a payment) under your Payment Schedule. We will decline a part prepayment of a scheduled payment. You can make a full prepayment of any amounts you owe under your Payment Schedule at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be charged any fees for any full or partial prepayment.

4.6     If the Retailer has paid a refund to us, we will apply any refund as a partial or full prepayment of your Payment Schedule first to the last payment, and working backwards to the other payments. Depending on the amount of the refund, it is possible that the Payment Schedule is reduced by 1 or more payments or in full.

4.7     If the refund referred to at clause 4.6 above is greater than the total of all amounts owing under your Payment Schedule, we will promptly transfer the excess amount to your Card. When the refund will appear on your Card depends on your bank and can take up to 7 Business Days.

     three days after the original Payment Date;

     if that is not successful, seven days after the original Payment Date; and
