MyBMT Online Services Terms & Conditions

  1. About these Terms and Conditions

    The “MyBMT” online portal (Portal) and the other products and services that you may have access to via the MyBMT online portal (the Portal and such other products and services collectively, the “Online Services”) are owned, operated or licensed by BMT Tax Depreciation Pty Ltd ACN 115 282 392 (BMT) or its Affiliates, and are made available via BMT’s website at www.bmtqs.com.au (Website).

    The terms: (a) “we”, “us” and “our” refer to BMT; (b) “you” and “your” refers to either or both the Client and the Authorised Person; (c) “Client” means i) a client of BMT; ii) a client of the relevant Authorised Person; and iii) a person who registers for the Online Services as a user; and (d) “Authorised Person” means, for a Client, a person that has been authorised by that Client to access and/or use their relevant information in connection with the Online Services, including an accountant. For clarity, an Authorised Person is also a Client for the purposes of those Terms and Conditions if that Authorised Person obtains access to the Online Services.

    These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Online Services, and includes the service specific terms and conditions (including prices), notices and disclaimers available on the Online Services and any application form or order form (which is made available by us to you) for an Online Service that we accept from you for that Online Service.

    By clicking “agree” and/or accessing and using the Online Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (including any variations we make from time to time). If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you must immediately cease accessing and using the Online Services.

    You warrant that you are at least 18 years old or are accessing or using the Online Services under the supervision of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms and Conditions.

    You agree that your account is non-transferrable. You may update, edit or terminate your account at any time through the Portal.

    You must: (a) keep your user login details (including password) secret and confidential and not disclose such details to any third party or allow another person to access the Online Services using your details, except to your employees. You agree that you will be solely responsible for all access and use of the Online Services by anyone using your login details, whether or not you authorised such access or use; and (b) immediately notify us if you are aware of, or have any reason to suspect or believe that, your login details have been subject to unauthorised use or have otherwise been compromised.

    You agree that we may access your account in connection with the Online Services as reasonably required to maintain and provide the Online Services. We may add to, change or remove the features and functionality available on the Online Services (including the Content) at any time (with or without notice to you).

    If we decide, or are required, to modify or exit an Online Service from the market or any part of an Online Service, then we may (on prior reasonable notice to you): (a) replace such Online Service with a modified service or an alternative service; or (b) cancel the Online Service. If you ask us to provide you with assistance to move to a replacement service or the modified service, then we may provide such assistance to you at an additional charge (that we will provide to you at the time you make such request). If the replacement or modified service materially reduces the level of functionality that was available to you in the old Online Service before the replacement or modification, then you may cancel the service without the payment of any early termination charges.

    If you are an Authorised Person, you agree that you have all rights, title, licences, authorisations, consents and other approvals necessary to access and use the Online Services.

  12. Fees and taxes

    You agree to pay the fees and charges specified on the Website or otherwise notified to you for the Online Services and associated products and services (Fees). The parties agree that Fees may be varied by us depending on the circumstances of the property and the information available. In addition, you agree that we may charge you an additional fee (which we will notify to you at the relevant time) to update a completed schedule.

    Unless otherwise specified, you must pay all undisputed Fees within 7 days of our invoice. All Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as required by law. If you fail to pay undisputed Fees by the required time, we may: (a) suspend your access to the relevant Online Service or Content; and (b) engage a third party collection agency to recover the outstanding Fees.

    If you dispute an invoice, then you must notify us within 7 days of receiving the invoice.

    Unless otherwise specified, the Fees do not include taxes. If GST is imposed on any taxable supply by a party in connection with these Terms and Conditions and the consideration payable is not expressed to be inclusive of GST, then the party liable to pay for the taxable supply must pay an additional amount on demand calculated by multiplying the value of the GST-exclusive consideration payable (without deduction or set-off) by the then current GST rate.

  13. Warranty and exclusion of liability

    We will, in providing an Online Service: (a) provide that Online Service with due care and skill, but do not guarantee that the service (or any part of it) will be accurate, complete, fault free or operate continuously; and (b) use suitably qualified personnel. BMT makes no warranty or representation in relation to the availability of the Online Services.

    Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that the Online Services and Content is provided “as is” and “as available” and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, except that the Australian Consumer Law applies if you are a “consumer”.

    You release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless us, our licensors and suppliers from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and damages of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, actual, special, incidental and consequential, including any personal injury, lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or other data or otherwise), known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of: (a) any unlawful, negligent or wilful act or omission by you; and (b) any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you.

  14. Australian Consumer Law

    This provision applies if you are a “consumer” for the purposes of the Australian Consumer Law.

    Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

  15. Disclaimer and exclusions

    The Online Services and Content has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular individual. For this reason any individual should, before acting or relying on the Content, consider the appropriateness of the Content, having regard to the individual’s objectives, financial situation and needs and seek appropriate legal, accountancy or financial advice, as appropriate.

    Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Content and Online Services are directed at and provided to persons within Australia only.

    If the Client in connection with the Online Service ceases to engage an Authorised Person for any reason (for example, if the Authorised Person ceases to act for the Client for any reason), the relevant Authorised Person must immediately take steps to terminate its access to that Client’s User Material. If that Authorised Person continues to access the Online Services after its approval has been revoked, we may terminate your access to the Online Services without notice.

    At any time and without notice to you, we may also limit, suspend or terminate an Online Service and/or the Terms and Conditions (or any part of them) if, in our reasonable opinion: (a) there is an emergency; (b) the supply by us or use by you of the Online Services (or any part of it) is, or will be, unlawful; (c) the Online Services or its provision may cause death, personal injury or damage to property.
