Welcome

Welcome to LIZ! We provide a personalised payments platform for property tenants (LIZ App).

Before we get started, there are just a few terms and conditions we need to cover to make sure we’re all on the same page.

1. Introduction

These terms and conditions (Terms) are entered into between you (you or your) and LIZ Trading Pty Ltd ACN 653 255 773 (we, us or our), together the Parties and each a Party.

2. Acceptance

By registering, creating and using a LIZ Account, you accept and agree to comply with all of the Terms, and acknowledge that we do not seek to guarantee your performance of your obligations under your respective lease or property agreement for your Property and we only assist to facilitate your payment obligations under such a lease or property agreement.

5. Your Account

5.1 Opening an Account

You must register and create an account (LIZ Account) to access the LIZ Services on the LIZ App. Your use of any LIZ Services is subject to you having the applicable Account Type. Your LIZ Account is personal and you must not transfer it to others, except with our written permission.

You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of your LIZ Account and any and all usernames, IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers or any other codes that you use to access your LIZ Account and the LIZ Services.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and must keep your mailing address, email address and other contact information your LIZ Account profile current and up to date. You agree to provide to us in a timely manner all documentation relating to your identity if requested by us.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your LIZ Account or if you believe your LIZ Account has been compromised. We will not take responsibility for unauthorised access or unauthorised use of your LIZ Account.

You understand that it is a legal requirement for us to verify your identity before you make any payments through the LIZ App, therefore you agree to provide us with such information as is required for us to verify your identity and any other information we require from time to time, including information we require to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).

You can start using the LIZ Services once your LIZ Account has been fully verified to our satisfaction.

6. Closing Your Account

You may only close your LIZ Account and terminate your relationship with us if:

  1. you don’t have any outstanding obligations related to your LIZ Account;
  2. there is not an ongoing investigation of any nature in connection with your LIZ Account;
  3. you don’t have a pending transaction or an open dispute or claim;
  4. your LIZ Account doesn’t have a negative balance;
  5. your LIZ Account isn’t subject to a hold, suspension, limitation or reserve; or
  6. you don’t have an outstanding balance on a loan from us.

Any funds in your LIZ Wallet at the time of closure, less any fees and any other amounts you owe us under these Terms, will be paid to you by our third party payment provider by one of the following means, which may be determined by us, at our sole discretion:

g. direct deposit to your linked Australian bank account; or
h. a cheque mailed to the address listed in your LIZ Account.

When you close your LIZ Account, we will cancel any scheduled or incomplete transactions. Once we have received a request to close your LIZ Account we will no longer allow any payments to be made from the LIZ Account.

7. Payment and Fees

7.1 Making Payments for Rent

  1. You may direct us to facilitate payments of rent (Rent) for your Property to verified real estate agents or landlords. You may not make any payments to any party that is not a Permitted Payee.
  2. You may make payments to a Permitted Payee by using the LIZ App to either schedule recurring transactions in your Rent Schedule or by directing us to facilitate a single payment.

7.2 Payment

We have contracted with a third party payment processor for that third party to provide payment services to you via the LIZ App. In doing so, we are not acting as your agent. Zai Australia Pty Ltd, which holds Australian Financial Services Licence number 478497 (together with its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions, collectively Assembly) is the entity that has been contracted to facilitate the payment process for all payment transactions in connection with the LIZ Services including holding your funds on your behalf. The terms and conditions applying to the use by you of the platform established by Zai Australia Pty Ltd for the payment services that Zai Australia Pty Ltd provides are set out in an End User Agreement accessible here. You should note that Zai Australia Pty Ltd reserves the right to update or modify the End User Agreement at any time with or without prior notice that Zai Australia Pty Ltd considers reasonable according to the nature and extent of the changes. Notice may include notice on Assembly's website or the LIZ App. Any use of the services provided by Zai Australia Pty Ltd after publication of such notice shall constitute your acceptance of the modifications.

In agreeing to these Terms, you agree that:

  1. you enter into the End User Agreement directly with Zai Australia Pty Ltd as principal; and
  2. you are bound by the End User Agreement when making or receiving a payment as a binding contract between you and Assembly.

You do not become bound by the End User Agreement as a result of us acting as your agent.

A breach by you of any of the terms of the End User Agreement constitutes a breach by you of these Terms.

7.3 Fees

The fees payable by you in connection with the LIZ Services will be in accordance with those specified in Schedule 1 in these Terms and in the LIZ App. The Fees set out in the LIZ App will take precedence over those Fees set out in Schedule 1.

7.4 Promotions

We may from time to time run promotions on the LIZ App which will be governed by their own respective terms and conditions as set out in the LIZ App. In the event of any inconsistency between those terms and conditions and these Terms, these Terms prevail.

8. Link or Unlink a Payment Method

You can link or unlink a debit card, credit card, or an Australian bank account to your LIZ Account digital wallet (LIZ Wallet) as a payment method. Please keep your payment method information current (e.g. credit card number and expiration date). You can also make manual payments into your LIZ Wallet by BPay or bank transfer.

If you have chosen a Default Payment Method, it will be shown as the Default Payment Method unless you have told us otherwise.

You can also select a Secondary Payment Method and link this to your LIZ Wallet. Where a payment from your Default Payment Method fails, we may use your Secondary Payment Method to make the payment instead.

9. LIZ Wallet

9.1 LIZ Wallet Funds

  1. You may choose to store funds in your LIZ Wallet from time to time.
  2. The amount of funds available in your LIZ Wallet is considered your Available Balance. You will not receive interest or any other earnings on funds held on your behalf by Assembly.
  3. You acknowledge that the Available Balance can be used at any time to meet any of your financial obligations in respect of your LIZ Account.
  4. Funds held in your LIZ Wallet will be held on trust for you and you acknowledge that the funds will be held in an account maintained and held by Zai Australia Pty Ltd and may be co-mingled with other funds.
  5. You acknowledge that the Available Balance will be used to meet your payment schedule of recurring Rent payments which you may set up in your LIZ Account, as outlined in the LIZ App (Rent Schedule).
  6. You can set up a recurring deposit at your chosen intervals to ensure that you will always have sufficient Available Balance in your LIZ Wallet to meet the payments required by your Rent Schedule (Deposit Schedule).
  7. You acknowledge and agree that it is a requirement for the provision of LIZ Services that you have sufficient debit card, credit card, or an Australian bank account to meet any of your financial obligations in respect of your LIZ Account and we can charge any costs incurred by us (as charged by Assembly) as a result of any dishonoured payment due to your insufficient funds.

9.2 Adding Money

You can add funds to your LIZ Wallet either by using the BPAY details provided to you (note that it can take up to 2 Business Days for funds to clear using this method), the bank account information provided or by using any of the payment methods linked to your LIZ Account. When using the payment methods linked to your LIZ Account, you can either direct us to add funds to your LIZ Wallet as a one off or you can set up a Deposit Schedule. Amounts in your LIZ Wallet can only be used by you once Zai Australia Pty Ltd has received cleared funds. We will use reasonable endeavours to effect any such payment as soon as practicable after Zai Australia Pty Ltd receives cleared funds from you.

9.3 Withdrawing Money

Other than by directing us to facilitate Rent payments on your behalf, you may not withdraw funds from your LIZ Wallet except if you are closing your LIZ Account or under other limited circumstances. If you wish to withdraw funds, you will need to contact us at info@lizapp.com.au to request a withdrawal. If we receive such a request, we will evaluate it and provide a response within 2 Business Days. Withdrawals less any applicable fees, will be paid to you at our discretion by:

  1. direct deposit to your linked Australian bank account; or
  2. a cheque mailed to the address listed in your LIZ Account.

10. LIZ Services

10.1 Account Types

LIZ provides a range of services for you depending on the Account Type you sign up to (LIZ Services). You must pay the fee for the Account Type, if any, as outlined in the LIZ App.

Where a fee is payable for your Account Type, your LIZ Account will automatically renew at the end of the relevant Account Type period unless you cancel your LIZ Account in accordance with the requirements of the LIZ App. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the Account Type period for which you have paid and no pro-rata refunds will be payable to you.

The LIZ Services allow you to pay your Rent to Permitted Payees through the LIZ App.

10.2 LIZ Free

If your Account Type is LIZ Free:

  1. you are able to add funds to your LIZ Wallet and use those funds to pay your Rent to Rental Providers. You may not make any payments to a party unless that party is a Permitted Payee;
  2. you can add funds to your LIZ Wallet once per fortnight by direct debit or bank transfer from an Australian Bank Account without incurring any transaction fees. If you choose to add funds to your LIZ Wallet more than once per fortnight, LIZ reserves the right to charge you transaction fees outlined in the LIZ App;
  3. you may direct LIZ to facilitate the payment of your Rent using the funds in your LIZ Wallet to a Permitted Payee by using the LIZ App to either schedule a recurring transfer in your Rent Schedule or by directing us to facilitate a single payment;
  4. you will need to have an Available Balance greater than or equal to the required amount of the transaction on any date that a Rent payment is required to be made from your LIZ Wallet. We will not make any payments of Rent to your Rental Provider if you do not have sufficient Available Balance; and
  5. you will be provided with access to the LIZ Sharehouse feature allowing you to split the total Rent for a Sharehouse between your housemates.

10.3 LIZ Sharehouse

We will provide to you the LIZ Sharehouse feature on the basis that:

  1. you may join or create a Sharehouse for a specific Property;
  2. each Sharehouse will have at least one (1) house administrator who is responsible for setting up the Sharehouse members (Housemates) and for ensuring the Sharehouse collectively meets its obligations under these Terms and in fulfilment of the Rent payment obligation under the respective lease or property agreement for the relevant Property;
  3. the Sharehouse administrator will allocate a portion of the Rent to each Housemate and each Housemate agrees for that portion of the Rent to be deducted from their LIZ Wallet in accordance with the due date for each relevant Rent period or with the Rent Schedule for the Sharehouse if there is one;
  4. LIZ will facilitate the payment of the combined Rent to the Rental Provider as directed by the Sharehouse administrator or in accordance with the Rent Schedule for the Sharehouse;
  5. LIZ is not responsible for any Sharehouse disputes or disagreements over any amounts owing from any Housemates and the Housemates agree that it is their responsibility to provide the correct amount of Rent for each relevant Rent period;
  6. when a Housemate leaves the Sharehouse, the Sharehouse administrator will re-allocate the Rent promptly before the next relevant date for payment of the Rent and each of the Housemates agree to the re-allocated amounts of Rent;
  7. Housemates agree for each Housemate to be notified if a defaulting Housemate misses any Rent payments;
  8. Housemates agree for each Sharehouse administrator to be notified if any Housemate falls behind on the Deposit Schedule;
  9. Housemates acknowledge and agree that it is their collective responsibility to maintain their payment obligations to their Rental Provider under their respective lease or property agreement for the relevant Property; and
  10. LIZ is not undertaking that the payments made through the LIZ App reflect the legal obligations of any of the Housemates to pay Rent under their respective lease or property agreement for the relevant Property.(i.e. Housemates are jointly liable for Rent if one Housemate doesn’t pay the requisite Rent – the fact that the other Housemates have paid through LIZ does not absolve the other Housemates of this obligation under their respective lease or property agreement for the relevant Property).

14. Account Limitations

14.1 General information about Account Limitations

  1. Under certain circumstances, in order to protect LIZ and the security and integrity of the LIZ Services or if required due to a court order, applicable law, regulatory requirement or other legal process, LIZ may take account-level or transaction-level actions. If we take any of the actions described here, we’ll provide you with notice of our actions (but may not be in a position to disclose the reasons for such actions), and we retain the sole discretion to take these actions. To request information in connection with an account limitation, you should contact us at info@lizapp.com.au or follow the instructions in our email notice with respect to the limitation.
  2. We may limit your access to sending, receiving or withdrawing funds for up to 180 days. A limitation may remain beyond 180 days if we reasonably believe there is still a risk to the integrity, security or reliability of us or our systems or if required due to a court order, applicable law, regulatory requirement or other legal process.
  3. You must resolve any issues with your LIZ Account before a limitation can be removed. Normally, this is done after you provide us with the information we request. However, if we reasonably believe a risk still exists after you have provided us that information, we may take action to protect LIZ, our users, a third party, or you from reversals, fees, fines, penalties, legal and/or regulatory risks and any other Liability. The actions we may take include:
d.

There may be certain situations where there is no specific action that you can take to help remove the limitation (for example, the limitation is put in place due to policies we have to ensure we’re in compliance with laws). If you find that your LIZ Account has been limited, you should either review the email you receive from us informing you that your LIZ Account is limited or log in to your LIZ Account for additional details about the limitation on your LIZ Account.

15. Australian Consumer Law

Consumer Law, including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and similar consumer protection laws and regulations, may confer you with rights, warranties, guarantees and remedies relating to the provision of the LIZ App by us to you which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (Statutory Rights).

If the ACL applies to you as a consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes your Statutory Rights as a consumer under the ACL. You agree that our Liability for the LIZ App provided to an entity defined as a consumer under the ACL is governed solely by the ACL and these Terms.

Subject to your Statutory Rights, we exclude all express and implied warranties, and all material, work and services (including the LIZ App) are provided to you without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, whether in statute, at law or on any other basis.

This clause will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

You will be liable in full for the actual losses that occur before the loss, theft or misuse of a security key or breach of password security is reported to us.
  3. Where we can prove on the balance of probability that you contributed to the Liability resulting from an unauthorised transaction by unreasonably delaying reporting the misuse, loss or theft of a security key or breach of password security, you are liable for the actual Liability that occurred.

  1. If you believe there has been an error or unauthorised transaction, you must notify us as soon as possible by contacting us at info@lizapp.com.au.
  2. It may take up to 30 days to investigate your complaint or question. Once we have completed our investigation, we’ll advise you of the results within 3 Business Days. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and may debit any provisional credit and fees related to the alleged error. You can request copies of the documents we used in our investigation. However, in some circumstances, we may not be able to provide these to you for legal reasons, including where that information or documentation contains private information we are not entitled to disclose.

16.3 Indemnification

  1. You indemnify and hold us, LIZ Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors and employees harmless from Liability (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

16.4 Exclusion of liability

Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for, and you waive and release us from and against, any Liability caused or contributed to by, arising from or in connection with: (1) your acts or omissions; (2) any use or application of the LIZ App by a person other than you, or other than as reasonably contemplated by these Terms; (3) the absence of, or reduction in, any anticipated result, outcome or benefit with respect to the LIZ App; (4) any illness, injury or death resulting from use of the LIZ App; and/or (5) any event outside of our reasonable control, except to the extent any such Liability was directly caused by our negligent act or negligent omission. We will not be liable for Consequential Loss.

This clause will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

16.5 Limitation of liability

Despite anything to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law and whether under statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity or otherwise, our maximum aggregate Liability arising from or in connection with these Terms will be limited to us to resupplying the LIZ Services to you or payment of the cost of the re-supply of the LIZ Services.

This clause will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.

17. LIZ's Rights

17.1 LIZ suspension and termination rights

LIZ, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your LIZ Account at any time to protect its legitimate interests, including if it is unable to continue to offer the LIZ Services to you, subject to the provision of reasonable notice.

17.2 Amounts owed to LIZ

If there are insufficient funds in your LIZ Wallet to cover any amount you owe us or LIZ Affiliates, the amount becomes immediately due and payable by you and you authorise us to satisfy any of these debts by:

  4. setting off the credit balance of any account you have with us or any monetary liability we owe you and towards satisfaction of your debt; or
  5. any other legal means.

LIZ does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the LIZ Services, and operation of our LIZ App, websites, software, or systems (including any networks and servers used to provide any of the LIZ Services) operated by us or on our behalf may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control; and
  3. LIZ will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, debit cards, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner but LIZ makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the LIZ Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system.

We may monitor, analyse and compile statistical and performance information based on and/or related to your use of the LIZ App, in an aggregated and anonymised format (Analytics).
