1This agreement
These terms form a binding agreement between you and [Registered company name] Pty Ltd (ABN [ABN]), trading as Portfoli.au (we, us, our). They govern your use of our website, applications and services (the service).
By creating an account or using the service you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
Our Privacy Policy and our Financial Services and Tax Disclaimer form part of this agreement.
2Who may use the service
To open an account you must:
- be at least 18 years old;
- have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; and
- not be barred from using the service under any applicable law.
If you use the service on behalf of a company, trust, partnership or self managed superannuation fund, you warrant that you are authorised to bind that entity, and you in these terms means both you and that entity.
3What the service is, and what it is not
Portfoli.au is a record-keeping and reporting tool. It lets you record investment transactions, track holdings, value them in Australian dollars, and produce summaries and exports from the information you or your connected accounts supply.
We do not provide financial or tax advice
We are not an Australian Financial Services Licensee and we do not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence. Nothing in the service is financial product advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to acquire, hold or dispose of any financial product.
We are not a registered tax agent or BAS agent and we do not provide tax agent services. Figures the service calculates, including cost base, capital gains, CGT discounts and franking credits, are estimates produced from the data available to us. They are not tax advice and must not be lodged without being checked.
Before you act on anything you see in the service, obtain advice from a licensed financial adviser or a registered tax agent who knows your circumstances. The Financial Services and Tax Disclaimer sets this out in full.
The service does not execute trades, hold your money or assets, operate a custodial or broking function, or provide a market for financial products.
4Your account
You must give accurate information when you register and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for everything done through your account.
Tell us promptly at support@portfoli.au if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation.
You may give another person, such as your accountant, tax agent or SMSF auditor, access to your account or your data. If you do, you remain responsible for what they do with that access.
5Your data and its accuracy
You own the records you enter or import. You grant us the licence we need to host, process, back up and display that data in order to provide the service to you, and to produce the reports you request. That licence ends when you delete the data or close your account, subject to the retention periods in our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for checking the figures
The service works from the data you give it and from third party feeds. Data can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. A corporate action, share split, dividend reinvestment, off-market transfer or an error in a broker's file can all make a figure wrong.
You must check what the service shows against your broker statements, registry holdings statements and dividend statements before relying on it, and particularly before lodging a tax return.
We recommend you keep your own copies of source documents. You can export your data from the service at any time while your account is open.
6Connected accounts and market data
Where you connect a broker, registry, exchange or wallet, you authorise us to access the records that connection makes available. Connections are read only: we do not use them to place, amend or cancel orders, or to move money or assets.
You are responsible for complying with the terms of your agreement with that provider. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy or completeness of anything a third party supplies, and a provider may change or withdraw access at any time.
Market data may be delayed and is provided for information only. It is not a quotation and is not an offer to transact at any price.
7Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the service in breach of any law;
- access another person’s account, or attempt to defeat any security or authentication measure;
- scrape, spider, or systematically extract data from the service, or use it to build a competing product;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the service, except to the extent that law expressly permits it despite this clause;
- resell, sublicense or make the service available to anyone else except as these terms allow;
- upload anything malicious, or anything that infringes another person’s rights; or
- interfere with the operation of the service or impose an unreasonable load on it.
8Plans, fees and billing
Some features require a paid plan. The current plans and prices are on our pricing page. Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST unless stated otherwise.
Billing and renewal
Subscriptions are billed in advance for the period you choose and renew automatically at the end of each period until cancelled. We will send you a reminder before an annual subscription renews.
Price changes
We may change our prices. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice before a change applies to your subscription. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect and the change will not apply to you.
Cancelling
You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Your plan continues until the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again. Except where the Australian Consumer Law or another law requires it, or where we have materially breached these terms, fees already paid are not refundable in part for an unused period.
Failed payments
If a payment fails we will tell you and may retry. If it remains unpaid we may suspend the paid features of your account after giving you notice and a reasonable opportunity to fix it. Your data is not deleted when a subscription lapses, and you may still export it.
9Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
The Australian Consumer Law, in Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), gives consumers guarantees that cannot be excluded. Section 64 makes void any term that tries to exclude, restrict or modify them.
Nothing in these terms excludes your consumer guarantees
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including that they will be supplied with due care and skill, will be reasonably fit for any purpose you told us about, and will be supplied within a reasonable time.
You are entitled to cancel your service contract and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value, if we fail to meet a consumer guarantee and that failure is major. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage caused by our failure. If the failure is not major, you are entitled to have the problem fixed in a reasonable time, and if it is not, to cancel and obtain a refund for the unused portion.
Every other term in this agreement is read subject to this section. If a term of this agreement would otherwise contravene the Australian Consumer Law or any other law, that term applies only to the extent the law permits.
10Our liability
This section is subject to section 9 and does not limit any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
Subject to that, and to the extent the law permits:
- we are not liable for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable, or that was caused by something outside our reasonable control;
- we are not liable for loss arising from your reliance on a figure the service produced without checking it against your source documents, or from inaccurate or incomplete data you or a third party supplied;
- we are not liable for investment losses, or for the performance of any financial product, because we do not advise on, recommend or arrange financial products; and
- where section 64A of the Australian Consumer Law applies and permits us to do so, our liability for failing to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited to resupplying the services or paying the cost of having them resupplied.
Nothing in this agreement limits our liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
Each of us must take reasonable steps to mitigate loss, and our liability is reduced to the extent that your act or omission caused or contributed to the loss.
11Intellectual property
We own the service, including its software, design, text, graphics and branding, or we use it under licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the service in accordance with these terms for as long as your account is open.
This does not transfer any intellectual property rights to you. You keep all rights in the data you enter or import.
If you give us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.
12Availability and changes to the service
We aim to keep the service available, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free. We may need to suspend it for maintenance, upgrades or security, and we will give you notice where it is reasonable to do so.
We may change or discontinue features. If we discontinue a feature you materially rely on, or make a change that materially and adversely affects you, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and you may cancel and receive a pro rata refund of fees you have paid for the period after cancellation.
13Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. If a change is material we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email or through the service before it takes effect.
If you do not accept a change, you may cancel before it takes effect and we will refund the unused portion of any fees you have paid. Continuing to use the service after the change takes effect means you accept it.
We will not change these terms retrospectively, and we will not rely on a change to take away a right that had already accrued to you.
14Suspension and termination
You may close your account at any time from your settings.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if your use poses a security risk to the service or to other users. Except where it is not reasonable or lawful to do so, we will give you notice and a reasonable opportunity to fix the problem first.
On termination, your licence to use the service ends. You may export your data for 30 days after termination, after which we will handle it as set out in our Privacy Policy. If we terminate without you being at fault, we will refund the unused portion of any fees you have paid.
15Complaints and disputes
If something goes wrong, contact us first at support@portfoli.au. We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and try to resolve it within 30 days.
If we cannot resolve it between us, you may be able to take the matter to a consumer protection agency, including the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or your state or territory fair trading office. Nothing in these terms prevents you from doing so, or from taking the matter to a court or tribunal.
Privacy complaints follow the process in our Privacy Policy.
16General
Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place and the courts that hear appeals from them. This does not limit your right to bring proceedings where a law says you may.
Severability
If any part of this agreement is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest continues to apply.
Assignment
You may not transfer your rights under this agreement without our consent. We may transfer ours as part of a sale or reorganisation of our business, provided it does not reduce your rights.
Notices
We will send notices to the email address on your account. You should send notices to support@portfoli.au or to [Registered company name] Pty Ltd, [Registered street address, State, Postcode, Australia].
Entire agreement
This agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and the Financial Services and Tax Disclaimer, is the entire agreement between us about the service. This clause does not exclude liability for misleading or deceptive conduct.
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and the Privacy Act cannot be excluded by an agreement. Where anything in these terms conflicts with those laws, those laws prevail.
