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

We may request this documentation at any time and you are responsible for ensuring that such authorisation is valid and lawful;
• you may only link bank accounts to the EH Platform that are held under your Organisation’s legal name. Using third-party or unrelated accounts is not permitted, and we may suspend or terminate your access if we detect any non-compliant accounts;
• if you are a Canadian or US based Organisation, you acknowledge that there are certain types of businesses and activities set out under Appendix B: List of Prohibited Businesses and Activities’ section of these General Terms that we do not support due to their illegal nature or for other compliance-related reasons.

13. Invoicing and payment of Subscription Fees and other fees

1. 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.

2. If you have signed a Customer Agreement and any free periods have expired and you are not a Humi by Employment Hero classic customer, we will invoice you monthly on the last day of each month beginning on the first full month after you sign up. If you are a Humi by Employment Hero classic customer such invoicing will occur on the monthly anniversary of the day after the start date of the agreement. Payment of your invoice will be automatically processed via the payment method you have provided within 7 days from the date of the invoice we issue to you.

3. If you signed up through the EH Platform and any free periods have expired, we will invoice you monthly on the last day of each month beginning on the first full month after you sign up.

We will automatically debit your payment details on the day we issue your invoice.

4. For any upgrade or downgrade in your plan or Subscription level (which must be made with at least 30 days notice), 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

1. 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.

2. At the end of your Subscription Term, your Subscription will automatically renew for successive 1 month Subscription Term periods unless you or we 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.

3. If you are a Paid Organisation, you may cancel your Subscription by contacting us, in which case:

3.1 you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds in respect of any Subscription Fees you have already paid; and

3.2 you will continue to have access to the EH Platform as a Free Organisation Account after the end of your Subscription Term unless it is terminated by you or us with notice.

1. You can stop using the EH Platform at any time. You can terminate your account and Subscription by contacting us if all of your outstanding payment or other obligations under the EH Platform Terms have been satisfied.

3. You may terminate your Subscription and this agreement at any time by written notice if:

3.1 we commit a material breach of any of the EH Platform Terms and do not remedy the breach within 14 days of receiving notice of the breach;

3.2 we commit a material breach of any of the EH Platform Terms and the breach cannot be remedied; or

3.3 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

1. We may terminate or suspend the services provided to you through the EH Platform and your access to it, 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):

1.1 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

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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:

4.1 a third party with the prior written consent of the party that owns the Confidential Information (where the consent given may be conditional);

4.2 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

1. 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.

3. 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. Your indemnity to us

1. 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:

1.1 your breach of clause 20.5; or

1.2 any third-party claims against us relating to your (and if you are an Organisation, your Organisation Users’) use of the EH Platform or any Third-Party Services, or Your Data (except where we breach the EH Platform Terms or where we are negligent).

26. Our indemnity to you

1. 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). This indemnity will only apply where 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:

1.1 the amount paid by you to the third party based on a settlement (agreed by us) or final court judgement; and

1.2 reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses that you incur in providing the assistance referred to above.

2. 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.

3. We are not liable to you under this clause if the Infringement Claim results from:

3.1 use of the EH Platform in violation of the EH Platform Terms or against our written instructions;

3.2 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;

3.3 our compliance with your (or if you are an Organisation, your Organisation User’s) express written instructions; or

3.4 use of the EH Platform in combination with any product or service that is not provided by us or is not a Third Party Service, if the EH Platform would not cause the infringement without such combination.

27. Excluded liability

1. 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:

1.1 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;

1.2 delay or failure to perform its obligations under the EH Platform Terms (except for an obligation to pay fees) due to events that are beyond its reasonable control, including failure of power, telecommunications or data networks, natural disasters, government orders, strikes, wars, epidemics or pandemics; or

1.3 loss, damage or cost incurred by the other party in connection with a breach by the other party of the EH Platform Terms, or any other applicable terms and conditions.

2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or any third party in connection with these General Terms for: 

2.1 loss or corruption of Your Data caused in any way other than by our wilful misconduct or gross negligence, although in these circumstances we will take reasonable steps to attempt to recover Your Data from our available backups; or

2.2 any acts or omissions of a third party provider or their Third Party Services, including any third parties you have engaged to provide you services while using the EH Platform.

28. Limitation on liability that is not excluded

1. 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 clause 27, is limited, in aggregate total, to:

1.1 if you are a Paid Organisation, the Subscription Fees paid or payable by you to us in the 12 months immediately before the date the claim arose; or

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

The exclusion of liability under clause 28 does not apply to liabilities arising out of your indemnification obligations in these General Terms or your 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 apply equally and cumulatively to us and our affiliates, including but not limited to parent, subsidiary and related entities and their officers, directors, employees and agents.

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

1. 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.

Appendix A

Terms for Employment Hero Recognition and Hero Points

1. How and when these terms apply

1. These terms apply to Organisations and Users in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada (Hero Points Regions) that purchase or have been awarded Hero Points through the EH Platform. Hero Points can be accessed through the EH Platform, including through the Money and Perks feature in a User’s EH Work app. These terms also apply to Users who have been awarded Hero Points either by an Organisation or by us.

2. These terms supplement the General Terms above. The General Terms will apply to these terms except where these terms conflict with the General Terms. Where a term is defined in our General Terms, that term when capitalised, will have the same meaning in these terms.

2. What are Hero Points?

Hero Points are reward points issued by us or by Organisations to Users for a variety of reasons.

3. Purchase and award

1. Organisations may purchase Hero Points, which they may award to Users through the EH Platform at their discretion. Organisations may create award categories within the EH Platform to determine the Hero Point value to be awarded to Users.

2. We may issue Hero Points to Organisations or Users at our sole discretion.

3. Once Hero Points have been awarded to a User, the transaction cannot be reversed or cancelled by the Organisation or by us.

4. Redeeming Hero Points

1. Hero Points may only be redeemed by Users through the EH Platform, including a User’s EH Work app.

2. Transaction fees may apply for some methods of redeeming Hero Points. Any transaction fees that apply will be communicated to Users before selecting a redemption method, and are not refundable after the Hero Points are redeemed.

3. Hero Points are not redeemable for cash and are not refundable once purchased unless required by applicable laws.

4. Where Hero Points are redeemed using a User’s Swag Visa Debit card, the redemption cannot be reversed or cancelled by us.

5. Only Users in the Hero Points Regions have the ability to redeem Hero Points through the EH Platform and the EH Work app marketplace and other features. Hero Points that are awarded to Users outside of the Hero Points Regions cannot be redeemed.

6. Hero Points are region-specific. Hero Points that are awarded to users in one Hero Points Region cannot be redeemed in any other region.

7. Hero Points cannot be used by an Organisation to pay for EH Platform Subscription Fees or other fees for services we provide.

5. Maintaining Hero Point balances and when they expire

1. To maintain an Organisation’s Hero Point balance, the Organisation must purchase 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 that remain unused in an Organisation’s account.

2. For Users in Australia and the United Kingdom: Once allocated to a User, 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 at our sole discretion

3. If you terminate your EH Platform account, we may cancel any Hero Points that remain unused.

4. For Users in Canada: To comply with provincial laws, Hero Points allocated to Users in Canada will not expire based on the passage of time alone. We may, however, cancel Hero Points where a User’s account has been “inactive” (meaning the User has not earned or redeemed any Hero Points) for a continuous period, as specified by applicable provincial law (e.g. 12 months or more in Quebec). Where required by law (e.g. in Quebec), we will send a written notice to the User 30 to 60 days before the expiry date, detailing the inactivity period and the date on which the points will be cancelled.

6. Termination of program

1. We may terminate the Hero Points program by notifying you.

2. 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. At the end of the 90 day period, all Hero Point balances will be cancelled and you will no longer be able to award or redeem Hero Points.

7. Suspension or cancellation

1. We may suspend your EH Platform account and cancel any Hero Points at our sole discretion if you breach these terms or the General Terms or if we reasonably suspect you are operating your EH Platform account fraudulently.

8. Tax

1. Organisations are responsible and liable for any tax liability, stamp or other duty or other government charge or reporting requirement in connection with or on any benefit derived by the Organisation or its Organisation Users arising from the use of Hero Points, the EH Platform or the Employment Hero Discounts features.

2. We recommend that Organisations seek professional advice in respect of your specific situation, including possible fringe benefit tax or other tax implications. We don’t provide advice, assurances or warranties in respect of any liability arising in respect of the Hero Points program or the issuance of Hero Points.
