5. Liability and Indemnity

5.1 When are you not liable for a loss?

You will not be liable for loss arising from an unauthorised transaction if the cause of the loss is any of the following:

(i) fraud, negligence, mistake or wilful misconduct by a any PSP employee or agent, a third party involved in networking arrangements, or a merchant or their employee or agent; or

(ii) a password which is forged, faulty, expired or cancelled;

(iii) a transaction requiring the use of a password that occurs before you receive the password (including in the case of a re-issued password);

(iv) a transaction being incorrectly debited more than once; or

(ii) an unauthorised transaction performed after the PSP has been notified that a Device has been misused, lost or stolen, or the security of a PIN or password has been breached.

You will not be liable for loss caused by the failure of a system or equipment provided by us or a third party which we rely upon to complete a transaction in accordance with your instructions.

The PSP is responsible for the security of cardholder data received from you through the Portal. The PSP is responsible for securely storing, processing, and transmitting cardholder data on your behalf.

5.2 When are you liable for a loss?

You will be liable for transactions in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Motorpass Card Terms. 

Where we can show that you contributed to a loss arising from an unauthorised transaction through fraud, negligence, mistake, wilful misconduct or breaching the passcode security requirements set out in clause 12 of the ePayments Code, you will be liable in full for the actual losses that occur before you notify the PSP of the loss, theft or misuse of your Device or security breach of your Motorpass Account, desktop or mobile device.

Where we can show that you contributed to a loss arising from an unauthorised transaction by unreasonably delaying reporting the misuse, loss or theft of your Device or a security breach to us, you will be liable in full for the actual losses that occur between:

(i) when you became aware of the security compromise, or should have reasonably become aware in the case of a lost or stolen Device; and

(ii) when you report the security compromise to us.

In both cases described above, you will not be liable for the portion of losses:

(iii) incurred on any one day that exceeds any applicable daily transaction limit; or

(iv) incurred in any period that exceeds any applicable periodic transaction limit.

Where a OTP (one-time password) was required to perform an unauthorised transaction and we are unable to prove any of the matters described above, you will be liable for the least of:

(v) the amount of $150; or

(vi) the actual loss at the time you report the misuse, loss or theft of your Device or security breach to us.

5.3 Limitation of our Liability

To the maximum extent permissible at law, we accept no responsibility or risk for the content provided, printed, sent or received in relation to the Portal, including by a Biller. You, by accessing or using the Portal, accept all responsibility, risk and liability for the content chosen, added, edited, provided, uploaded and modified. You indemnify us against any loss or damage we may suffer due to any claim, demand or action of any kind brought against us arising directly or indirectly because you acted negligently or fraudulently in connection with your use of the Portal or this agreement.

We do not, and we are under no obligation to, monitor or review any ratings, comments, communications, forums, discussions, postings, transmissions and other messages communicated by users of the Portal. Sniip assumes no liability or responsibility arising from the contents of any such communications or for any defamation, error, inaccuracy, libel, obscenity or profanity contained in any such communication. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any claim against us for defamation, libel or whatsoever arising out of any such communication.

We are not liable for any consequential loss or damage you suffer as a result of using the Portal, other than due to any loss or damage you suffer due to our fraud, negligence, mistake or wilful misconduct or in relation to any breach of a condition or warranty implied by law in contracts for the supply of goods and services and which may not be excluded, restricted or modified at all or only to a limited extent.

We are not liable for any disruption or impairment of the Portal or for disruptions or impairments of intermediary services on which the PSP relies for the performance of its obligations, provided that such disruption or impairment is not due to our fraud, negligence, mistake or wilful misconduct or in relation to any breach by us of a condition or warranty implied by law in contracts for the supply of goods and services, which may not be excluded, restricted or modified at all or only to a limited extent.

We are not responsible for any event or matter beyond reasonable control, such as acts of God, actions or omissions of financial institutions, card schemes or payment gateway providers or processors, legal or regulatory compliance reasons, power failures and the like.

You acknowledge that the PSP will provide the Portal using facilities provided by banks, payment service providers, clearing networks and other third party payment processing services (Third Party Providers). No commercial agreement exists between the Service Providers and yourself and each of the Service Providers will accordingly have no direct liability to you.

Nothing in this Terms of Use excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law being Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (“ACL”) or any other applicable law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by the agreement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the liability of the PSP for a breach of a non-excludable guarantee under the ACL or any other applicable law is limited, at the PSP’s option, to:

(i) in the case of goods supplied or offered by us, any one or more of the following: the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; the repair of the goods; the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or

(ii) in the case of services supplied or offered by us: the supplying of the services again; or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

Part B: Payments

6. Payment Processing and Scheduling

The Portal can process bill payments for you in either of two ways:

  1. BPay (refer Part C) – the Portal will default to processing a bill payment via BPay transaction where this is available for your bill; or
  2. Bank Transfer (refer Part D) – the Portal can process payments directly to the Biller’s nominated bank account.


Payments will usually be treated as received by the biller on the third business day after you make the payment.

We can accept an order to stop a Payment being processed prior to the BPAY file being sent. A user must confirm this via email for our records. The PSP will not accept an order to stop a Payment once the BPAY file has been sent.  

You should notify us immediately if you become aware that you may have made a mistake (except when you make an underpayment – for those errors see below) when instructing us to make a Payment, or if you did not authorise a Payment that has been made from your account. Clause 7 describes when and how we will arrange for such a Payment (other than in relation to an underpayment) to be refunded to you.

A delay may occur in processing a Payment where:

(iii) there is a public or bank holiday on the day after you tell us to make a Payment;

(iv) a Payment is made either on a day which is not a Banking Business Day or after the Payment Cut-Off Time on a Banking Business Day;

(v) another financial institution participating in BPAY Payments does not comply with any applicable obligations relating to BPAY Payments; or

(vi) a Biller fails to comply with any applicable obligations relating to BPAY Payments.

While it is expected that any delay in processing under this agreement for any reason set out in clause 6 will not continue for more than one Banking Business Day, any such delay may continue for a longer period.

You must be careful to ensure that you tell the PSP the correct amount you wish to pay. If you instruct the PSP to make a Payment and you later discover that the amount you told the PSP to pay was less than the amount you needed to pay, you can make another Payment for the difference between the amount actually paid to a Biller and the amount you needed to pay. 

Due to the risk profile of certain billers, the PSP has initially restricted the use of the Portal to billers in certain sectors. 

7. Mistaken payments, unauthorised transactions and fraud

Pursuant to the EFT Code / ePayments Code, if under this clause 7 you are liable for an unauthorised or fraudulent payment and the ePayments Code applies, then your liability is limited to the lesser of:

(i) the amount of that unauthorised or fraudulent payment; and

(ii) the limit (if any) of your liability set out in our Terms of Use.

If (ii) applies, we will be liable to you for the difference between the amount for which you are liable and the amount of the unauthorised or fraudulent payment.

We will attempt to make sure that your payments are processed promptly by the participants in BPAY Payments, including those Billers to whom your payments are to be made. You must promptly tell us:

(iii) if you become aware of any delays or mistakes in processing your payments;

(iv) if you did not authorise a Payment that has been made from your account; or

(v) if you think that you have been fraudulently induced to make a Payment.

We will attempt to rectify any such matters in relation to your payments in the way described in this clause. However, except as set out in this clause 7 and clause 5.3, we will not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of using BPAY Payments.

The longer the delay between when you tell us of the error and the date of your payment, the more difficult it may be to perform the error correction. For example, we or your Biller may not have sufficient records or information available to us to investigate the error. If this is the case, you may need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error.

8. Mistaken Payments

If a Payment is made to a person or for an amount which is not in accordance with your instructions (if any), and your account was debited for the amount of that payment, we will credit that amount to your account. However, if you were responsible for a mistake resulting in that payment and we cannot recover the amount of that payment from the person who received it within 20 Banking Business Days of us attempting to do so, you must pay us that amount.

9. Fraudulent Payments

If a Payment is induced by the fraud of a person involved in the BPAY Scheme, then that person should refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if that person does not refund you the whole amount of the fraud-induced payment, you must bear the loss unless some other person involved in the BPAY Scheme knew of the fraud or would have detected it with reasonable diligence, in which case that person must refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment that is not refunded to you by the person that induced the fraud.

10. Not used

11. Biller Consent

If you tell us that a payment made from your account is unauthorised, you must first give us your written consent addressed to the Biller who received that payment, consenting to us obtaining from the Biller information about your account with that Biller or the payment, including your Customer Reference Number (CRN) and such information as we reasonably require to investigate the payment. If you do not give us that consent, the Biller may not be permitted under law to disclose to us the information we need to investigate or rectify that payment.

Part C: BPAY Payments

12. Paying via BPAY

BPAY Payments is an electronic payments service through which you can ask us to make payments on your behalf to organisations (Billers) who tell you that you can make payments to them through the “BPAY Payments” payment service (BPAY Payments).

When you tell us to make a payment, you must give us the information specified in clause 15 below. We will then debit your Motorpass Card with the amount of that payment.

Due to the risk profile of certain billers, the PSP has i restricted certain sectors. 

These include:

  • Remittance service provider
  • Charities and Not-for-Profit
  • Intermediaries
  • Pay-day lenders
  • Internet gambling
  • Casinos
  • Goods dealers
  • Foreign exchange currencies
  • Securities and derivatives
  • Managed investment schemes
  • International business operations
  • International students or travel products
  • Hiring and leasing
  • Banking and financial institutions

13. How to use BPAY Payments

You can make payments through your registered account on the Portal.

Transactions through the BPAY Scheme will be processed in accordance with the following:

(i) The Portal will enable a user to scan a paper or email bill to digitise and store the BPAY Payment details, or a user can upload a .CSV or .ABA file which includes BPAY Payment details.

(ii) The Portal will verify the validity of the BPAY Payment details.

(iii) When you approve payment of a bill the PSP will debit your Motorpass Card for the bill amount, plus any relevant transaction fees. 

(iv) The PSP then process the payment of the billvia BPAY, which may take up to 3 business days after you approve payment of the bill, or longer in exceptional circumstances. This leg of the transaction utilises the BPAY Scheme and is subject to these Terms. You will need to consider these time frames when instructing the PSP to make BPAY Payments on your behalf to ensure that you pay your Bill on time.

You acknowledge that the receipt by a Biller of a mistaken or erroneous payment does not, or will not constitute under any circumstances part or whole satisfaction of any underlying debt owed between you and that Biller.

17. Cut-off times

Payments made on a weekend (Saturday, Sunday) or public holiday will take more than two business days to appear on your biller account.

However, each biller may have different transfer timeframes and there may be delays in the funds being received into your Biller’s account.

18. When a Biller cannot process a payment

If the PSP is advised that your payment cannot be processed by a Biller, we will:

  • advise you of this; and
  • take reasonable steps to assist you in making the payment as quickly as possible.

19. Account records

You should check your account records carefully and promptly report to us as soon as you become aware of any payments that you think are errors, or are payments that you did not authorise, or you think were made by someone else without your permission. 

20. Approval of payments

The PSP is entitled to determine whether or not to approve an instruction to make a payment at its sole discretion pursuant to its Know Your Customer (KYC) and fraud screening procedures and policies, any applicable law or regulation, for anti-money laundering purposes and for other legal and regulatory related reasons. When rejecting a transaction, the PSP is under no obligation to disclose the reason for the rejection. You are solely responsible for any fees, costs and expenses associated with rejected transactions.

Part D: Bank Transfers

21. Paying non-BPAY Bills

30. No ‘chargebacks’

Even where your Payment to us has been made using a Motorpass Card, no ‘chargeback’ rights will be available for BPAY Payments by us through the BPAY Scheme. 

You agree that we provide a bill payment service in respect of the goods and services that you receive from your Billers. We are a payment intermediary and are not a supplier, reseller or manufacturer of those goods and services and we have no responsibility whatsoever for the quality, delivery or any other fault, issue or dispute in relation to the goods or services supplied to you by your Biller.  Accordingly, where we make a payment as directed by you, you will not be entitled to a ‘chargeback’ from any Motorpass Card provider, even where you are dissatisfied with the goods or services you receive from your Biller.  

You agree to remedy any disputes related to the goods and services supplied by your Biller directly with your Biller. Accordingly, you agree that you will not request a chargeback from any Motorpass Card provider in relation to payments authorised by you, and subsequently made by Us to your Biller.

Motorpass Card

You agree to pay the surcharges as notified to you from time to time and calculated and displayed to you prior to instructing the PSP to make a payment and authorise us to debit your nominated Motorpass Card for all fees payable by you.

The surcharge displayed may not be the same as the surcharge at time of processing, due to a fee change falling between the two dates. In this instance, although a user may have scheduled the payment with the lower fee displayed, the PSP reserves the right to process payments at a higher surcharge on the date of payment.

Sniip may also receive fees from the Bank and/or its processing partners for processing a BPAY payment.
