Terms & Conditions

1. About these Eftsure Service Terms

These Eftsure Service Terms (Terms) are published by Eftsure Pty Limited ABN 21 168 403 736 (Eftsure), an Australian owned and operated business that provides electronic payment authentication services to Australian businesses.

Eftsure provides two services:

  1. an Eftsure payment verification service that combines functionality of payment protection (alerting payers about potential fraud in real-time on a payer’s online payments screen, or on a payer’s payments file in Eftsure’s web portal) and vendor management (providing payer’s finance teams with accurate vendor payment information and capability to onboard and manage new vendors from one single place),
  2. an EftsureID service, which enables a payee to provide its prospective payers with a simple way to verify that that payee’s bank details are correct before the payer makes payments to the payee.

These Terms relate to each Eftsure service (the Service), except where (and then to the extent that) a provision in these Terms are expressly stated to refer to either the Eftsure payment verification service or the EftsureID service, in which case the relevant provision relates only to that service.

The features and functionality of the Service will be as described in a written Eftsure proposal (Proposal) made to a purchaser (Customer) of the Service as and when the Proposal is accepted by Customer.

These Terms:

  • tell Customer who Eftsure is and what Eftsure does; and
  • set out other (non-privacy and confidentiality related) terms on which Eftsure will provide the Eftsure Service to each Customer

An associated document, the Eftsure Privacy Statement and Confidentiality Commitment (as published on this Website at https://get.eftsure.com.au/privacy-policy/):

  • sets out other (non-privacy and confidentiality related) terms on which Eftsure will provide the Eftsure Service to each Customer
  • states Eftsure’s key commitments to each Customer. Eftsure’s key commitments are:
  1. that Eftsure will maintain business confidentiality and will not disclose that a particular customer deals with particular persons and entities except for the purpose of conducting verification of payee details for that customer or otherwise at the request of that customer,
  2. that payee names and account details are only to be used or disclosed for the purposes and in the ways described in the Eftsure Privacy Statement and Confidentiality Commitment;
  • sets out how Eftsure collects, uses and discloses other personal information that Eftsure collects or that is entrusted to Eftsure.

These Terms, the Eftsure Privacy Statement and Confidentiality Commitment and Eftsure’s Proposal as and when accepted by Customer, are the complete Agreement between Eftsure and Customer about provision and use of the Service.

Each document is important. Please take the time to read them.

By accepting the Proposal for the Service, Customer agrees that Customer has read and understood this Agreement.

The Eftsure payment verification service supports some of Australia’s leading businesses by ensuring that payments made by Eftsure’s customers go to the right bank account of intended recipients. Eftsure does this by:

  • verifying proposed recipient names and account numbers (provided to Eftsure by Eftsure’s customers for checking) as recorded by Eftsure’s customers as prospective payers. We do this by enquiry made by Eftsure of prospective recipients; and
  • confirming the verified payee details to Eftsure’s customers as payers before payment is made to the recipient.

The EftsureID service supports some of Australia’s leading businesses by enabling those businesses as prospective payees to provide their prospective payers with a simple way to verify that that payee’s bank details are correct before the payer makes payments to the payee (Eftsure’s customer). Eftsure does this by:

  • enabling Eftsure’s customers to provide a prospective payer with a simple and secure way to verify that the payee’s bank details are correct before the payer authorises a payment to Eftsure’s customer as payee, and
  • enabling requests by prospective payers for verification of the payee's bank account (as notified to the payer using this simple and secure way) to be confirmed.

The Service will evolve over time based on customer feedback. These Terms are not intended to answer every question or address every issue raised by the use of the Service.

The Fee for the Service is as stated in the Proposal as and when the Proposal is accepted by Customer or as later agreed between Eftsure and Customer. Effective from the end of each period covered by any Fee paid in advance, Eftsure may change the Fee. If Customer does not agree with this modification, Customer may then terminate this Agreement by giving Eftsure prior written notice.

Subject to the last paragraph, Eftsure reserves the right to change these terms at any time, effective upon reasonable prior notice and the posting of modified terms. Eftsure will make every effort to communicate these changes to each customer via email or notification via the Website. It is Customer’s obligation to ensure that Customer has read and understood and agrees to the most recent terms available on the Website.

2. Definitions

Words defined elsewhere in documents forming part of this Agreement have the meaning there given. In addition:

“Intellectual Property Right” means any patent, trade mark, service mark, copyright, moral right, right in a design, know-how and any other intellectual or industrial property right, anywhere in the world and whether or not registered.

Law includes any applicable law (including legislation), mandatory code of practice and mandatory industry standard or code (whatever called).

“Website” means the Internet site at the domain www.eftsure.com.au.

Ordering and provision of Service

  1. Following Customer’s acceptance of Eftsure’s Proposal, Eftsure will provide the Service to Customer. Customer’s right to use the Service is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited by and subject to this Agreement.
  2. An order placed by Customer will only vary these Terms and the Proposal if the order is in writing and expressly stated as intended to vary these Terms and the Proposal and that order is then accepted by Eftsure in writing notwithstanding that express statement of variation. Otherwise a purposed variation of these Terms and the Proposal by inconsistent terms of any order will not take effect.

3. Verification functionality of the Eftsure payment verification service

  1. In the course of provision of the Eftsure payment verification service, Eftsure relies upon a variety of means to verify payment details, including enquiry made by Eftsure of prospective recipients, cross-verification using records of previous verifications that Eftsure has conducted in relation to the proposed recipient, or cross-verification by matching multiple requests made by multiple customers These methods are considered by Eftsure to be reliable to substantially reduce risks of error or fraud by third parties, but these methods do not fully address or fully eliminate all risks of error or fraud. Further, Eftsure cannot make enquiry of the payee’s bank (because the payee’s bank will not provide relevant details because of operation of banker’s duty of confidentiality). There also remains risk of error or fraud at a payee’s bank. The Eftsure payment verification sService is provided by Eftsure with full disclosure to Customer as to these remaining risks and that these risks are not fully mitigated through verification and cross-verification conducted by Eftsure. Customer agree that Eftsure excludes liability and is not liable in relation to any loss or damage that Customer suffer through any error or fraud that is not detected by Eftsure after Eftsure has acted reasonably and has undertaken the verification and cross-verification processes as described in this Agreement and the Eftsure Privacy Statement and Confidentiality Commitment.
  2. Eftsure will use all reasonable commercial endeavours to maximise verification rates and to minimise the period taken for verification. Subject to the preceding sentence, Customer acknowledge and agree that Eftsure cannot assure any particular verification response rate, the period within which verifications will be conducted or the proportion of successful verifications.
  3. Eftsure acting reasonably is entitled to rely and may rely upon a statement by a person purporting to exercise authority for a prospective payee as to verification of payment details for a prospective payee. Verification will be based upon the actual knowledge of Eftsure at that time based upon statements by person purporting to exercise authority for prospective payees as to verification of the respective payee’s payment details. Eftsure acting reasonably is not required to make further enquiries as to either the actual or apparent authority of that person or otherwise in relation to any details concerning the prospective payee. Customer agrees that Eftsure excludes liability and is not liable where Eftsure acting reasonably verifies details of a prospective payee in reliance upon a statement by a person purporting to exercise authority for a prospective payee, whether that statement was made in response to a verification enquiry made following a request by Customer or in response to any prior request made by any prior customer of Eftsure.
  4. Eftsure will report as to verifications in such in any electronic or printed form as Eftsure elects to make available from time to time, including by provision of electronic tags or flags as to validated payee records provided in such form as Eftsure elects to make available from time to time.
  5. Any product or output such as reports, tags or flags, data analyses, factors and tables made available or provided to Customer in any electronic or printed form in the course of provision of the Eftsure payment verification service is, for the purposes of this Agreement, a report. Customer agrees, in relation to any report, other communication or other deliverable that Eftsure provide to Customer, that:
    1. Customer may only rely only on Eftsure’s final report (whether in the form of tags or flags, data analyses, factors and tables or such other form as Eftsure may agree) and not upon an interim communication or other advice or interim deliverables. If Customer wish to rely on an interim communication or other advice or interim deliverable, please let Eftsure know and, at your cost, Eftsure will prepare a report on which Customer may rely;
    2. Eftsure are not responsible for updating reports, any interim communication or other advice or any interim deliverable that Eftsure provide, except on such refresh or recheck cycles as Eftsure may agree with Customer. Reports will only be updated by provision of a further report on such refresh or recheck cycles as Eftsure may agree with Customer or otherwise at your request and then at your cost.
  6. Any report provided to Customer may only be used for Customer’s own use and use by Customer’s related bodies corporate in relation to payments to be made by Customer or those related bodies corporate for or in relation to Customer’s own business and the business of those related bodies corporate, which must not include resale of Eftsure’s Service or provision of the benefit of Eftsure’s Service to any entity other than Customer and Customer’s related bodies corporate.

4. ID functionality of the EftsureID service

  1. The EftsureID service enables a payer to verify Customer’s bank account details are as Customer has specified to Eftsure from time to time. Customer is responsible for informing Eftsure of Customer’s correct bank details at all times.
  2. The Eftsure service relies upon Customer informing Customer’s prospective payer (for example, by inclusion of the Eftsure ID for that Customer on Customer’s invoice) of the simple and secure way to verify Customer’s bank account details using the EftsureID service, the payer verifying Customer’s bank account details using the EftsureID service, and the payer then using those bank account details to make the payment. Eftsure cannot verify whether Customer has stated the correct Eftsure ID to the prospective payer and will verify the Eftsure ID is Customer’s bank account details as Customer has specified to Eftsure from time to time. Eftsure is not responsible for any error made by Customer.

5. Service is for Customer’s own use only

  1. The Service is provided to Customer only for Customer’s own use and use by Customer’s related bodies corporate in relation to payments to be made to or by Customer or those related bodies corporate for or in relation to Customer’s own business and the business of those related bodies corporate, which must not include resale of the Service or provision of the benefit of the Service to any entity other than Customer and Customer’s related bodies corporate.

6. Marketing of the Service

  1. Customer agrees that we Eftsure may use and reproduce Customer’s name and logo on our Website and in our marketing documentation as a customer of Eftsure. Eftsure agrees that Eftsure will not suggest in any way that the fact that Customer is a customer of the Service implies that Customer sponsors or approves or endorses the Eftsure Service in any way.
  2. Customer agrees that Eftsure may make reasonable use of Customer’s name and logo only for stating Customer is a customer of the Service.
