In addition to the terms in these Terms of Use, there may also be specific terms governing your use of, and access to, certain sections of the Paytime Websites. Those specific terms also form part of these Terms of Use and you will be bound by them. You should review them wherever they are accessible by you on the Paytime Websites.

Links to Other Websites

The Paytime Websites may contain links to other websites operated by third parties (“Third Party Websites”). Any such links are provided for convenience only. Paytime does not endorse, approve of or recommend those Third Party Websites, and is not responsible for the information, graphics and material they contain (“Third Party Material”). This includes any medical diagnosis or treatment advice provided by these Third Party Websites. Please seek a doctor’s advice before making any medical decisions.

When you follow a link on the Paytime Websites, Third Party Material may be displayed in your browser framed by Material on this website. The displayed material is also Third Party Material for the purpose of these Terms of Use.

All offers to sell and statements relating to goods and services available on Third Party Websites are the responsibility of and given by the Third Party Website operator. In so far as such offers and statements are restated on the Paytime Websites, such offers and statements are made by Paytime on behalf of the Third Party Website operator. Paytime expressly disclaims acting in any other respect on behalf of Third Party Website operators. If you choose to engage or enter into an agreement with any Third Party Website operator, or any third party offering services through a Third Party Website, Paytime is not a party to such agreement, and the agreement will be directly between you and the relevant third party.

Subject to any rights at law which cannot be excluded, Paytime makes no warranties or representations:

  • about the quality, accuracy, merchantability or fitness for purpose of Third Party Material or products or services available through Third Party Websites; or
  • that Third Party Material does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any person.

By providing a link to Third Party Material, Paytime does not authorise the reproduction of such Third Party Material. If you download software from a Third Party Website, use of that software may be subject to a licence agreement between you and the Third Party Website operator. To the extent permitted by law, Paytime accepts no responsibility or liability for that software.

Paytime may receive payments from operators of Third Party Websites in relation to goods or services supplied by the operator as a result of you accessing the Third Party Website from the Paytime Websites.

Product Information and Supply

Paytime has entered into an Agreement with your employer to offer the Paytime Services to you as the employee.

Material on the Paytime Websites may contain general information about Paytime or related party products and services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, this information:

  • does not constitute an offer or inducement to enter into a legally binding contract;
  • does not form part of the terms and conditions for Paytime or related party products and services; and
  • is not intended to be financial advice and does not take into account any user’s objectives, financial situation or needs.

All information is subject to change without notice. Paytime recommends that you seek independent advice before acting upon Material on any Paytime Website or Third Party Material. For further information about a particular product or service please contact Paytime on 1300 80 49 60.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, products and services referred to on the Paytime Websites will be provided only to Australian residents. These products and services are generally not available to non-Australian residents because they may not comply with non-Australian laws.

By creating a Paytime account, you agree that a second bank account may be added into your employer’s payroll software that corresponds to the bank account to which all repayments of earned wage withdrawals accessed during a pay period and associated fees are transferred to, directly by your employer on payday.

By creating a Paytime account, you agree to give Paytime and your Employer the right to deduct from your pay all amounts relating to any Paytime withdrawals accessed during a pay period and any associated fees and charges

When calculating the available balance that you can withdraw from the Paytime Account, the Paytime application extracts relevant data from your employer’s software systems (including, but not limited to payroll, time-and-attendance, rostering, HCM systems) and by utilising mathematical calculations projects your earned wages. Depending on what information is available from your employer’s software systems and the frequency of updates, Paytime may use estimation methods that are agreed to by your employer to predict your earned wages available to you. Therefore, the total amount you earn may differ from what is reflected on your final payslip.

In the unlikely event that you withdraw funds in excess of what you have actually earned and owed to you by your employer, or that the appropriate Paytime deductions and/or repayments have not been applied to your historical payslips such that the total Paytime deduction and/or repayment amount does not equal all the Paytime withdrawal amounts including any applicable fees, you agree to give Paytime the right to deduct all excess amounts back from you (at no charge to you), via a Direct Debit Order from the bank account that corresponds to the bank account to which your usual salary/wages get paid into on a weekly/fortnightly/monthly or other basis. You therefore authorise Paytime Services Pty Ltd (ABN 78 647 450 137) to arrange, through Zepto, to debit your nominated account (as listed in your employer’s payroll software) the amounts Paytime Services Pty Ltd, has deemed re-payable by you. This debit will be made through the Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS) from your bank account. You authorise and acknowledge by accepting the Paytime Terms and Conditions, and by creating an account with Paytime, you also accept the terms and conditions as contained in Zepto’s website and updated and amended from time to time, before using the Paytime app. The links to Zepto’s website and relevant web pages are listed as follows for your reference:

Registration and security

In order to use the Paytime Websites, Paytime may require you to create a Paytime Website account (your “Paytime Account”). Any such account is for your sole personal use, and you may not authorise others to use your account or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity without Paytime’s prior approval. All account information you submit must be truthful, and you may not use any alias or other means to mask your true identity. By creating a Paytime Account, you warrant to Paytime that you are at least 16 years old.

You agree to fully indemnify Paytime, together with each other member of the Paytime Group, from any loss or damage you suffer in connection with any third party access to your Paytime Account using your password or any device through which you previously accessed your Paytime Account.

Liability

Nothing in these terms restricts, excludes or modifies any consumer rights under any statute including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

Our Use of “Cookies”

“Cookies” are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognise you as a Paytime customer if you return to the Paytime site using the same computer and browser or otherwise use the Paytime Services. We send a “session cookie” to your computer if and when you log in to your Paytime Account by entering your email address and password or any other authentication required. We use these cookies to recognise you if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you don’t need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you log out or close your browser, these session cookies expire and no longer have any effect.

We also use longer-lasting cookies to display your email address on our sign-in form so you don’t have to retype the email address each time you log in to your Paytime Account or otherwise use the Paytime Services. Our cookie files are encoded so that your email address and other information can only be interpreted by Paytime. We may, however, share cookie information with certain merchants with whom we have an official co-marketing relationship regarding whether a user identified by the merchant is already registered with Paytime.

We and our service-providers also use cookies to customise our services, content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. You may encounter cookies from third parties when using the Paytime Services on websites we do not control. For example, if you view a web page created by a third-party or use an application developed by a third party, there may be a cookie placed by that web page or application.
