b.                 Streaming may allow you to request access to a proportion of your earned but unpaid salary or wage before your usual pay date. If your request is accepted, the amount is advanced to you by way of a technology-enabled short-term borrowing facility.  The amount advanced is a loan and must be repaid.

c.                 Any request you make for Streaming may be subject to a Feature Agreement, including offer terms, loan terms, direct debit terms, Authority to Deduct arrangements, credit reporting notices and other disclosures provided by Humanforce.

d.                 Humanforce may accept or decline a request for credit at its discretion, subject to applicable law. 

e.                 Humanforce may apply minimum or maximum limits, eligibility checks, transaction limits, verification requirements or other conditions.

f. When you make your first Stream, you give your Employer permission to deduct this amount from your pay as a repayment. This should be deducted as a repayment on the date you usually get paid. If your Employer is unable to or doesn't deduct your repayment from your pay, or if the relevant amount is not repaid through payroll arrangements, you will need to repay this loan in full by direct debit, bank transfer or otherwise.

g.                 To the extent permitted by law, overdue repayments may be reported by Humanforce to a credit reporting body after any required statutory notices are given and any required period has passed. This may impact your credit history. Please see Humanforce’s Statement of Notifiable Matters and Credit Reporting Policy for more information.

h.                 Based on Humanforce’s current assessment and unless Humanforce notifies you otherwise, a Stream is not credit to which the National Credit Code applies. If there is any change in law or regulatory guidance that affects this position, Humanforce may update these Terms accordingly.

c.   Coach provides money coaching, not financial advice. Money coaches provide strategies to help you reach your financial goals and improve financial behaviours. If you are able and choose to use the Coach services, money coaches may help identify ranges or types of financial products generally available which may be of benefit to you, but will not recommend or express an opinion on the suitability of any financial product or class of financial products to you.

d.  Any decision you make to acquire a financial product must be made by you, and under no circumstances will Humanforce or any Coach assist you in making a decision.

8.             How to Stream

8.1               You can make an Offer to borrow through the App. Humanforce may but is not required, to accept your Offer.

8.2             By submitting an Offer electronically, you offer to enter into a Feature Agreement for a Stream. The Feature Agreement for that Stream is made up of these Terms, your Offer, any applicable direct debit terms, any Authority to Deduct and any other terms, notices or disclosures that apply to the Stream. 

8.3             A legally binding loan agreement is formed for that Stream if Humanforce accepts your Offer and disburses the Stream into your Bank Account.

9.             How to contribute to your Grow Account

9.1               If you have a Grow Account, you will be able to use the App to set a Grow Contribution for each Pay Period to be directed towards investing in the Blossom Fund. 

9.2             On the Reconciliation Date, your Grow Contribution for the Pay Period will be deducted from your Pay and will be temporarily held by Humanforce, before being automatically transferred for investment in the Blossom Fund and reflected in your Grow Account. 

9.3             Transfers for the Grow Account will typically occur within three business days of deduction from your Pay.

9.4             Using the App, you may request a withdrawal of any funds from your Grow Account (in whole or in part) at any time. As long as you have sufficient funds in your Grow Account for your withdrawal request, a transfer of the requested amount to your Bank Account will be submitted for processing as soon as reasonably practicable.

9.5             You can deactivate your Grow Account at any time by following the instructions in the App. When you deactivate your Grow Account, the balance of your Grow Account at the time of deactivation will automatically be transferred to your Bank Account.

10.           How does using Streams and Grow Contributions affect your next Pay?

10.1                If you have received any Streams or made any Grow Contributions under a Feature Agreement during a Pay Period, your Employer will deduct from your next Pay as follows:

a.                 first, a portion of your Pay will be directed to Humanforce, in accordance with your standing Authority to Deduct, to repay the Streams you have received during the Pay Period and any associated fees;

b.                 second, your Grow Contribution will be directed to Humanforce for transfer to invest in the Blossom Fund and reflection in your Grow Account (however if your nominated Grow Contribution is greater than the amount of Pay you’re entitled to receive for that Pay Period (after the deduction for repaying the Streams), Humanforce will not transfer any funds to invest in your Grow Account), in accordance with your standing Authority to Deduct; and

c.                 third, the balance of your Pay will be paid to you, or in line with any other instruction you’ve given your Employer about where your Pay should be disbursed.

11.             How much can you Stream or Grow?

11.1               You may Offer to borrow or make Grow Contributions up to the available amount shown through the App, and you may make multiple Offers during a Pay Period. 

11.2             Generally, the available amount shown in the App will be up to 50% of your accrued after-tax Pay, however this may vary on a case-by-case basis.

11.3             For the avoidance of doubt, if you make an Offer to borrow for an amount above 50% of your accrued Pay, and that Offer is accepted, you are still required to repay the entirety of the loan.

11.4             If you make more than one Offer to borrow during a Pay Period, Humanforce will combine your outstanding balances (and any applicable fees), so that you only ever have to repay one amount to Humanforce per Pay Period. However, each accepted Offer forms a separate Feature Agreement and legally binding loan agreement for the relevant Stream.

11.5             Humanforce may apply minimum and maximum withdrawal limits at its discretion, depending on our agreement with you and/or your Employer. 

11.6             Any Offers that exceed any applicable withdrawal limits will not be accepted by Humanforce.

b.                 Humanforce considers, acting reasonably, that declining is a responsible decision for your financial circumstances, or it is not otherwise in your interests or those of Humanforce for such Offer to be accepted;

c.                 to meet requirements set by your Employer; or

d.                 to protect the App or Humanforce.

12.2             Humanforce will not be responsible for any losses you might suffer if it declines an Offer for any reason under clause 12.1.

b.                 if you Default under these Terms or the relevant Feature Agreement and Humanforce direct debits your nominated account, your own deposit taking institution may charge you default or direct debit failure fees. It is your responsibility to obtain details of any account-related fees from your deposit taking institution.

13.2             There will be no interest or late fees payable as a result of making a Stream. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause does not limit any obligation to pay reasonable enforcement expenses under clause 16.3 or fees disclosed in a Feature Agreement.

14.1               In order for you to enjoy the features provided under these Terms, Humanforce requires, and you agree to:

a.                 on the Reconciliation Date, or, if not feasible;

b.                 on the date which you next receive your Pay, or if not feasible;

c.                 within 62 days after the Reconciliation Date if any amount you owe Humanforce remains outstanding, or if not feasible;

d.                 in accordance with clause 14.3 below.
