Employment Hero Platform Terms and Conditions

Our agreement with you

Welcome to Employment Hero, nice to meet you! We’re excited for you to start your work easy journey.

By using the EH Platform, including the EH Websites and our EH app, you agree to these terms and conditions (the General Terms), any policies they link to and any specific terms and conditions that apply to additional products or services you use.

These General Terms are important. Please read them carefully and let us know if you have any questions. We’ve done our best to explain it all without using too much jargon, so it’s clear what we expect from you and what you can expect from us.

If you don’t agree with these General Terms, then you must not use the EH Platform.

These General Terms are current as of September 29, 2023. You can see our previous terms & conditions here. If you are a Global Teams customer, a copy of the Terms for Employment Hero Global Teams is available here.

When we say ‘Employment Hero’, ‘us’, ‘our’, or ‘we’ in these General Terms, we’re referring to Employment Hero Pty Ltd and its affiliates.
If your Customer Agreement or your invoices specify an affiliate of Employment Hero Pty Ltd (for example, if you are located outside of Australia), then these General Terms will apply between you and that affiliate.

2. Who ‘you’ are

When we say ‘you’ or ‘your’ in these General Terms, we’re referring to any of the following types of users and customers.

6. Changes to the EH Platform and EH Platform Terms

From time to time, we may decide to make changes to the features or functionality of the EH Platform or change or replace any part of the EH Platform Terms by posting updated or amended terms to the EH Websites or otherwise notifying you of the changes in your account. Please check the EH Websites for changes.
Previous versions of our terms and conditions are available in our archive here: https://employmenthero.com/my/legals/archived/.
Generally, we will try to give you reasonable notice of material changes to the EH Platform Terms that we determine may adversely affect your rights or your use of the EH Platform before they become effective, unless we need to make changes immediately for reasons we can’t reasonably control (like a legal requirement).
If the change to the EH Platform or the EH Platform Terms is unacceptable to you, you may stop using the EH Platform, cancel your Subscription or terminate your account in accordance with the EH Platform Terms. If you continue to use the EH Platform after any amended terms become effective, you agree to be bound by the amended terms.
If we decide to stop offering some features in the EH Platform or other services, we may terminate your access to such features or services by providing written notice to you. If you are not in breach of the EH Platform Terms, we will refund any prepaid fees that relate to the terminated features or services on a pro-rata basis.

7. Your licence to use the EH Platform

By accepting the EH Platform Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive and revocable licence to access and use the EH Platform until your account is terminated. If you are an Organisation User, access to some features may be based on the Subscriptions and features that have been agreed with you or your Organisation.

8. User Accounts

Users may create an account to access User features of the EH Platform (a User Account).
Users may be able to purchase goods and services through the EH Platform, including through the ‘Benefits’ features. Prices for such goods and services will be displayed at the point of purchase and Users will be responsible for any agreed purchases.

When an Organisation User stops being connected to an Organisation’s account, the User will continue to have a User Account.

We may vary which EH Platform features are available to Free Organisation Accounts and terminate any Free Organisation Accounts at any time at our discretion, without liability to you.

10. Trial Accounts for Organisations

We may offer trial access to the EH Platform to Organisations (a Trial Organisation Account).
We may provide access to and terminate Trial Organisation Accounts at any time at our discretion, without liability to you.
If an Organisation agrees that its Trial Organisation Account will automatically convert to a Paid Organisation Account at the end of an agreed trial period, then the Organisation’s initial payment will be processed at the end of that trial period unless the Trial Organisation Account is cancelled before the end of the trial period.

11. Paid Organisation Accounts

Pricing for paid Subscription access to the EH Platform by an Organisation (a Paid Organisation Account) is as set out on the EH Websites or in the Organisation’s Customer Agreement (if applicable) (Subscription Fees).
By activating a Paid Organisation Account or engaging us to provide you with any other paid products or services, you are agreeing to pay the Subscription Fees and any other applicable fees.

12. Rules for using the EH Platform

When we refer to the EH Platform Rules in these General Terms, we’re referring to this clause.
When using the EH Platform, you:

must:

- make sure that any information you provide to us is complete, accurate and not misleading;
- keep your usernames, passwords, and any other account login information secure. You will be responsible for the use of your login details; and
- own or have permission to provide Your Data (including any personal information contained in Your Data) to us or otherwise enter it into the EH Platform; and

must not:

- undermine the security or integrity of our computing systems or networks;
- use our services in any way that might impair functionality or interfere with other people’s use;
- decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, rent or sublicense anything on the EH Platform;
- copy, distribute, modify or make derivative works of any of our content or use any of our Intellectual Property Rights in a way not expressly permitted by us in writing;
- access any system without permission; or
- introduce or upload anything to our services that includes viruses or other malicious code.

3. As an Organisation, in addition to the above:

- you must only use, copy, distribute or modify any template or standard form documents made available through the EH Platform (including employment agreements, workplace policies, performance and coaching reviews and surveys) for your internal business purposes, and obtain your own professional advice before using them;
- you are responsible for controlling which Users can access your account and each User’s level of access. We do not accept responsibility or liability for access to or use of Your Data by any of your Organisation Users, or use of your Organisation Users’ login details; and
- for so long as a User is connected to your account so that they become your Organisation User, you are jointly responsible and liable for that User’s compliance with this clause.

13. Invoicing and payment of Subscription Fees and other fees

A valid payment method and accurate billing information is required to process your Subscription Fee payment. By submitting such payment information, you authorise us to charge all fees incurred through your account to any such payment method. If you miss a payment, we may suspend your access to the EH Platform until payment is made.
If you have signed a Customer Agreement, we will invoice you monthly on the last day of each month beginning on the first full month after you sign. You must pay this invoice within 14 days from the date of the invoice we issue to you.
If you signed up through the EH Platform, we will invoice you monthly on the last day of each month beginning on the first full month after you sign up. We will debit your payment details on the day we issue your invoice.
For any upgrade or downgrade in your plan or Subscription level, you will be invoiced for the new rate on your next billing cycle. For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot downgrade your plan during your agreed Subscription Term.
Unless otherwise stated, all fees are exclusive of sales taxes (like GST and VAT) and any other applicable taxes and duties. You are responsible for paying us the amount of any such taxes or duties that apply.
From time to time, we may change the fees that apply to your use of the EH Platform or any other products or services we provide to you. We will follow the process in the ‘Changes to the EH Platform and EH Platform Terms’ clause for any such changes.

14. Subscription Term and automatic renewal

Paid Organisations agree to pay the applicable Subscription Fees for the Subscription period that you agree with us (Subscription Term). You may agree to a minimum term with us. If you do, then you cannot cancel your Subscription before the end of that minimum term.
At the end of your Subscription Term, your Subscription will automatically renew for successive 1 month Subscription Term periods unless you cancel your Subscription at least 30 days before your next renewal date. As an example, if you were beyond any minimum Subscription Term agreed with us, this means that if you cancel your Subscription part of the way through one month, your Subscription Fee will be payable for the month in which you cancel and the following month. Your access to your Paid Organisation account and features will remain until the end of the following month.
If you are a Paid Organisation, you may cancel your Subscription by contacting us, in which case:
1. you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds in respect of any Subscription Fees you have already paid; and
2. you will continue to have access to the EH Platform as a Free Organisation Account after the end of your Subscription Term.

15. Termination by you

You can stop using the EH Platform at any time. You can terminate your account by contacting us if all of your outstanding payment or other obligations under the EH Platform Terms have been satisfied.
If you are an Organisation and you terminate your account, each of your Organisation Users will continue to have a User Account.
You may terminate your Subscription and this agreement at any time by written notice if:
1. we commit a material breaches of any if the EH Platform Terms and do not remedy the breach within 14 days of receiving notice of the breach;
2. we commit a material breach of any of the EH Platform Terms and the breach cannot be remedied; or
3. our business becomes insolvent, goes into liquidation or has a receiver manager appointed over any of its assets, we become insolvent or make any arrangement with your creditors, or become subject to any similar insolvency event in any jurisdiction.

16. Termination or suspension by us

We may terminate or suspend your access to the EH Platform, this agreement and your Customer Agreement (either in whole or in part) immediately by notice to you if you (and if you are an Organisation, any of your Organisation Users):

4. infringe our Intellectual Property Rights; or
5. you or your business becomes insolvent, goes into liquidation or has a receiver manager appointed over any of its assets, you become insolvent or make any arrangement with your creditors, or become subject to any similar insolvency event in any jurisdiction.

1. we will continue to charge you for any fees (including Subscription Fees) during the suspension period and you must pay any outstanding fees before we resume providing access to the EH Platform; and
2. we will only resume your access to the EH Platform after you have cured the matter that caused the suspension to our reasonable satisfaction.

21. Data breach notifications

In these General Terms, Data Breach means any actual or suspected misuse of or damage to, accidental or unauthorised access to, disclosure, processing or destruction of any personal information contained in Your Data.
If there is a Data Breach affecting Your Data, we will comply with our obligations to notify and assist you and to remediate the Data Breach under any data protection laws that apply to you or Your Data.

You assign to us any Intellectual Property Rights in suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or other feedback you provide to us relating to the EH Platform or any other services we provide.

23. Confidentiality

In these General Terms, Confidential Information of a party means information of a confidential nature including information about its business, operations, strategy, administration, technology, affairs, clients, customers, employees, contractors or suppliers, but does not include any information that is in the public domain other than through a breach of confidence.
While using the EH Platform you may share Confidential Information with us, and you may become aware of Confidential Information about us. We refer to the party (you or us) that is receiving Confidential Information as the Recipient in this clause.
You and we acknowledge that a breach of this clause may cause irreparable harm for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. The party whose Confidential Information may be disclosed as part of any breach of this clause may seek injunctive relief against the other party or to compel specific performance in addition to any other remedies available at law.
The Recipient agrees that it must keep confidential and not disclose to any third party Confidential Information of the other party and to take reasonable steps to protect the other party’s Confidential Information from being accessed by unauthorised third parties, with the exception that a Recipient may disclose such Confidential Information to:
1. a third party with the prior written consent of the party that owns the Confidential Information (where the consent given may be conditional);
2. the Recipient or its affiliates’ officers, agents, professional advisors, employees, contractors, subcontractors auditors and insurers, provided that these recipients are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as this clause; or
3. a governmental, administrative, regulatory, fiscal or judicial body, department, commission, authority, tribunal or agency where the Recipient is required to do so, provided that it uses commercially reasonable efforts to give the other party written notice before the disclosure (if notifying the other party is permitted by law).

24. Disclaimer of warranties

Except as required under applicable law, the EH Platform, any Third Party Services contained in it and any other services we provide to you are provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all express or implied warranties, guarantees or representations including any implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Where there are any non-excludable warranties, guarantees or other rights provided by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), these still apply. The EH Platform Terms do not exclude, restrict or modify them. Our liability for breach of any such non-excludable warranty, guarantee or other right is limited to (at our option) either replacing or paying the cost of replacing the relevant service (unless the law requires otherwise).

25. You indemnify us

You indemnify us, each of our directors, officers, employees, agents and licensors against all losses, costs (including legal costs), expenses, demands or liability that we incur arising out of, or in connection with:
1. your breach of clause 20.5; or
2. any third-party claims against us relating to you (and if you are an Organisation, your Organisation Users’) use of the EH Platform, Your Data or any third-party service (except where we breach the EH Platform Terms or where we are negligent).

26. We indemnify you

Subject to the remainder of this clause, we will defend you against any claims made by a third party that the EH Platform and any content or services provided through the EH Platform that you use under the EH Platform Terms infringes that third party’s Intellectual Property Rights (Infringement Claim) provided that you notify us promptly of any such Infringement Claims, give us sole control over the defence and settlement of the Infringement Claims, and provide reasonable assistance to us in defending the Infringement Claim. This indemnity is limited to:
1. the amount paid by you to the third party based on a settlement (agreed by us) or final court judgement; and
2. reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses that you incur in providing the assistance referred to above.
If we reasonably believe that an Infringement Claim under this clause may bar your use of the EH Platform, we will either obtain the right to keep using the EH Platform, or modify or replace the EH Platform or any particular feature with a functional equivalent. If either of these options would cause unreasonable costs to us, we may terminate your right to use the infringing EH Platform content or service and we will reimburse the corresponding proportion of prepaid subscription fees for the terminated EH Platform content or service on a pro-rata basis.
We are not liable to you under this clause if the Infringement Claim results from:
1. use of the EH Platform in violation of the EH Platform Terms or against our written instructions;
2. alteration of the EH Platform service or content by you (or if you are an Organisation, your Organisation Users) where this is not authorised by us in writing;
3. our compliance with your (or if you are an Organisation, your Organisation User’s) express written instructions; or
4. use of the EH Platform in combination with any product or service not provided by us or that is not a Third Party Service if the EH Platform would not infringe without such combination.

27. Excluded liability

Subject to clause 29 and to the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will any party be liable to the other party for any loss of revenue or profit, loss of goodwill, loss of customers, loss of capital, loss of anticipated savings, legal, tax or accounting compliance issues, damage to reputation, loss in connection with any other contract, or indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special loss, damage or expense.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or any third party in connection with these General Terms in any way for:
1. your breach of the EH Platform Rules;
2. loss or corruption of Your Data, although in these circumstances we will take reasonable steps to attempt to recover Your Data from our available backups; or
3. any delay or failure to perform obligations under the EH Platform Terms due to events that are beyond our reasonable control, including failure of power, telecommunications or data networks, natural disasters, government orders, strikes, wars, epidemics or pandemics.

28. Limitation on liability that is not excluded

Subject to clause 29 and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the total cumulative liability of each party for all loss, damage, cost or expenses (including legal costs) suffered by the other party for all claims of any kind in connection with these General Terms that is not otherwise excluded under the ‘Excluded liability’ clause is limited, in aggregate total, to:
1. if you are a Paid Organisation, the Subscription Fees paid or payable by you to us in the 6 months immediately before the date the claim arose; or
2. if you are not a Paid Organisation, A$100.

29. When the exclusions and limitations on liability won’t apply

The exclusion of liability under the ‘Excluded liability’ clause and the limitation on liability under the ‘Limitation on liability that is not excluded’ clause will not apply to liabilities arising out of your indemnification obligations under these General Terms or any breach of the EH Platform Rules.

30. Limitations on liability apply to our affiliates

You acknowledge that the limitations and exclusions of liability contained in the EH Platform Terms are intended to operate for the benefit of us and our affiliates, and agree to indemnify us for all amounts claimed by you or any of your affiliates to the extent that such amounts, in aggregate, are of a type of loss which would otherwise be excluded under the ‘Excluded liability’ clause or that exceed the limitations on liability under the ‘Limitation on liability that is not excluded’ clause.

31. Disclaimer about content on the EH Platform and professional advice

We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the content contained on the EH Platform for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.
No part of the EH Platform is intended to provide you with professional advice. We may provide you with information that we think is helpful to you or provide you with tools to assist with compliance, as part of the EH Platform or otherwise, but these should not be seen as a substitute for professional advice, and we will not be liable for your use of the information or tools in that way. You are responsible for complying with the laws and other requirements that apply to your business and you should obtain separate professional advice where required.

32. Additional services, new products and account upgrades

We may agree with you to provide additional products or services related to the EH Platform including implementation services, data cleansing services, advisory services, development of template documents or employee services. Such services will be subject to the EH Platform Terms and any additional terms that are notified to you before we provide the services.
We’re always looking to expand and improve the EH Platform to provide you with new or updated features. We will notify you of any Feature Specific Terms for these new features before you start using them.
Fees payable by you for any such additional products and services we provide will be set out in your Customer Agreement or otherwise in the Feature Specific Terms for that product or service.

33. Beta, pre-release and trial features

We may make trial, pre-release or beta versions of new products or services available to you. Your use of these will be subject to any additional terms that we specify from time to time.
You agree that pre-release and beta products or services may be inoperable or incomplete, and may contain errors or bugs, and that you use any pre-release or beta versions of products or services at your own risk.
You also agree that we may terminate your access to trial, pre-release or beta features at our discretion without liability to you.

34. Third party services

Some of the products and services available through the EH Platform are provided by third party providers (Third Party Services).
Your use of any Third Party Service is subject to any additional terms and conditions that apply to that Third Party Service. You are responsible for reviewing and agreeing to such third party terms and conditions including how the Third Party Service may use Your Data. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions that apply to a Third Party Service, then we may suspend or cancel your account or limit the relevant functionality.
Unless we otherwise specifically state, we do not endorse or make any warranties or representations about any Third Party Services.
We disclaim all liability for any Third Party Services and for the acts or omissions of any third party provider of Third Party Services.

35. Reseller Organisations

If you are a Reseller Organisation, then you must comply with the EH Platform Terms that apply to you as well as any terms in your reseller’s agreement. Resellers are not authorised to make promises or warranties on our behalf, and to the extent permitted by law, we are not bound by any obligations to you other than those specified in the applicable EH Platform Terms.
Reseller Organisations are supported and their accounts are managed by their reseller. Resellers can support and assist Reseller Organisations with the EH Platform.

Severability: If any part or provision of the EH Platform Terms is invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with the law, that part or provision is replaced with a provision which, as far as possible, accomplishes the original purpose of that part or provision. The remainder of the EH Platform Terms will be binding on the parties.
Jurisdiction specific terms: Laws may apply to you (or if you are an Organisation, your Organisation Users) or to us as a result of your specific location. If this is the case, and if those laws are inconsistent with any part of the EH Platform Terms, those laws will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

5. Maintaining Hero Point and Hero Point balances and when they expire

To maintain an Organisation’s Hero Point and Hero Point balance, the Organisation must purchase Hero Points or Hero Points or make an award to a User (Hero Point Activity) at least once in every 24 month period. After 24 months from the date of the last Hero Point Activity we may cancel any Hero Points or Hero Points that remain unused in an Organisation’s account.
Once allocated to a User, Hero Points and Hero Points will be valid for 24 months from their date of allocation. If they are not used within that period, we may cancel the relevant Hero Points or Hero Points at our sole discretion.
If you terminate your EH Platform account we may cancel any Hero Points or Hero Points that remain unused.

If we terminate the program under this clause you will have 90 days from the date of termination to award and redeem any outstanding Hero Points and Hero Points.
