Introduction
The Property Management Company (PM Company) has engaged Ailo to supply a series of tools to assist them to provide the property management services they provide to you - the Ailo Platform. The software helps your property manager communicate with you, as well as arrange maintenance and repairs, bills and Trust Accounting. The software facilitates the collection of rent from Renters, allows users to pay bills and disburses the rent to the Property Investor (Ailo Pay).
Property Investors, Renters, Property Owners and Service Providers (users) are invited to use the Ailo Platform to manage communication, payments, inspections and maintenance and repairs, or may choose only to access some functions, such as communication.
If you use the Ailo Pay component of the Ailo Platform then these terms in their entirety, apply to you and that usage. If you use the Ailo Platform, other than Ailo Pay, then clause 10 does not apply to you.
- These Terms
- These Terms apply to your use of the Ailo Platform. They are a binding agreement between Ailo Pty Ltd (ACN 603 174 714) (us, we or our) and you, with you being any individual person or legal entity that clicks the ''I Agree to the Terms" checkbox or otherwise accesses or uses the Ailo Platform. You may be:
- a Property Investor;
- a Renter;
- a Property Owner
- the Delegate of a Property Investor, Renter or Property Owner.
- By accessing or using the Ailo Platform, you agree:
- to be bound by these Terms;
- to be bound by the Ailo Platform policies posted on the Ailo Platform (for example, policies related to the security of access credentials);
- that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy (available at ailo.io/privacy); and
- You have received the PDS and FSG - see ailo.io/pds-fsg.
- To the extent of any inconsistency between these Terms and a policy posted on the Ailo Platform, these Terms take precedence over any policies.
- You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Ailo Platform.
- Agreement and Updates

- Ailo may, in its sole discretion, modify any part of these Terms. Ailo will give you 14 days' notice of any change by notifying you at the contact details supplied.

- Updates and enhancements. We may (but are not required to) provide standard or progressive updates, changes or amendments to the Ailo Platform as we see fit to ensure proper operation and interaction of all parts of the Ailo Platform and any general enhancements that may be introduced.
- Using the Ailo Platform

- Ailo is not providing the Trust Account, this is supplied by the PM Company’s authorised financial institution.

- provide statements detailing the payments made to or received from the Trust Account; and
- disburse payments to the Property Investor’s nominated Account and the PM Company’s nominated Account.
- You acknowledge that the disbursements to your and the PM Company’s nominated Accounts will be managed through Ailo Pay by way of a standing authority to direct debit the PM Company’s Trust Account and the disbursements made will be based upon the completed and reconciled Trust Account, as entered by the PM Company into the Ailo Platform.
- Ailo will not be responsible for any Trust Account payments made, reported upon or detailed in a statement as a result of payment or payer details incorrectly loaded, not loaded or loaded late into the Ailo Platform. This is the responsibility of the PM Company.
- All transactions, including deposits, made in relation to the Trust Account are the responsibility of you and the PM Company.
- Accessing other services through the Ailo Platform
- The Ailo Platform may facilitate Service Providers making offers to you from time to time, and allows Service Providers and you to communicate with each other while those services are fulfilled. You are under no obligation to accept the offers of these Service Providers and any relationship you do enter into, is between you and the Service Provider. If you subscribe to a service offering provided by a Service Provider, you acknowledge that you have formed a commercial agreement with the Service Provider and not directly with Ailo; regardless of any independent commercial arrangement Ailo may have with that Service Provider.
- As set out in the Privacy Policy, no Personal Information is shared with a Service Provider unless and until you agree and consent to that sharing.

- Ailo Pay is provided to assist you to manage the process of:
- paying rent and bills
- receiving payment for rent and bills.
- Using Ailo Pay
- When you use Ailo Pay, you will be required to provide Ailo with information such as your contact and payment details and (if you are a business) information about your business. You must ensure that any information you provide to Ailo is accurate and current.
- If you are a Property Investor, by using Ailo Pay, you authorise disbursement of funds from your Wallet to the Wallet of your PM Company, to account for the property management fees you owe to your PM Company (as set out in your management agreement with your PM Company).
- You acknowledge that in providing Ailo Pay, we provide a means for Payers to make payments directly to Payees, but do not:
- collect any amounts (for example, rent payments) on behalf of Payees;
- act as the PM Company of any Payer or Payee; or
- have any responsibility or liability for the goods or services to which such payments relate, or any other matter relating to any arrangement between a Payer and a Payee.
- If you are using Ailo Pay in a Payer capacity, we will facilitate the process of you debiting your Account and crediting your nominated Payee's Wallet.
- If you are using Ailo Pay in a Payee capacity, we will facilitate the process of debiting the relevant Payer's Wallet and you crediting your Account.
- Payment Options
- The payment types supported by Ailo Pay are as follows:
- credit and debit card (Visa and Mastercard and other card types as introduced by Ailo from time to time);
- bank account;
- Third Party Payments.
- When paying by card, some cards carry more than one payment system function. These can be identified because they have either a Visa or Mastercard logo on the front of the card and an Eftpos logo on the back of the card. Ailo has the right to choose which payment system processes the transaction from those cards as both functions point to the same card account.
- All transactions will be processed in Australian dollars.
- The payment option you select may incur a fee which will be evident at the time of the transaction. Details of these fees are published within the Ailo Platform and at ailo.io/about/our-fees.
- Processing and settlement times. As a result of how the banking and payments systems operate in Australia and depending on the Account you have and the payment type you have selected, a payment could take up to three Business Days to be cleared through the banking system and be made available for disbursement to a Payee's Account. Payments initiated on days that are not Business Days (for example, weekends or public holidays) will be processed on the next Business Day.
- Dishonoured or declined payments
- From time to time, payments may be declined or dishonoured by the Payer's financial institution. We will notify both the Payer and the Payee of such declines or dishonours. We will not charge for any declines or dishonours.
- If a declined or dishonoured payment has been notified to us after it has been credited to the Payee's Account, we will notify the Payee of the dishonour and reverse the payment within seven Business Days.
- We are not responsible and have no liability (to either the Payer or the Payee or any other person) for any declined or dishonoured payments.
- Voided, stopped, deferred, deleted, reversed, refunded and adjusted payments
- Credit and debit card payments cannot be stopped or voided once processed.
- Bank account and Third Party Payments cannot be stopped or voided once processed.
- Any scheduled payments can be voided, stopped, deleted or deferred before processing by accessing the Ailo Platform.
- Invalid transactions, payments made in error or payments later dishonoured may require adjustment. In this case you will be notified through the Ailo Platform and either a credit or debit initiated with seven days notice.
- Payments made into your Wallet can be refunded back to your Account if any outstanding liabilities owed by you have been cleared.
- Once a payment has been disbursed from a Payer Wallet to a Payee Wallet, it cannot be refunded by us unless the transaction was Invalid. If you require a refund after a disbursement, and the transaction was not Invalid, you must contact Ailo via the 'Support' functionality on the Ailo Platform 'Help' page to manage the process on your behalf.
- Invalid transactions. A transaction is Invalid if:
- It is illegal.
- The payment was made due to an error or an omission.
- The Account details that were used are not valid at the time of the transaction.
- The Account was used without the authority of the Account owner.
- The approval supplied as part of the Ailo Pay sign up process was forged or unauthorised.
- The data supplied as part of the Ailo Pay sign up process was incomplete, inaccurate or illegible.
- Disputes and chargebacks
- You acknowledge that we are not responsible for ensuring that payments made using Ailo Pay are actually owed to the Payee. For example, we are not responsible for ensuring that the Payee has actually provided the relevant goods and services, or that rent payments are in the correct amounts.
- You acknowledge that you are responsible for accurately inputting information when scheduling a payment and reviewing and confirming the accuracy of such information before processing the payment. We are not liable to you in relation to any errors you make while inputting or reviewing this information.
- If a Payer disputes that a Payee is entitled to funds, for example because the Payee has:
- not supplied the goods and services as agreed;
- supplied goods and services that were faulty or of poor quality;
- charged for goods and services that were not authorised; or
- the transaction was Invalid, the process described in subclauses 10.8(v) to (ix) below applies.
- We will request that the Payee provides proof of the supply of the relevant goods or services and authorisation.
- The Payee must supply such proof within two Business Days. This proof may include, but is not limited to, the following:
- an approved quote (in the case of a repair or maintenance);
- proof of repairs undertaken (including but not limited to photos);
- signed contracts, management agreements or lease/rental agreements; and
- proof of relevant notification of a rent increase.
- We will supply the evidence provided by the Payee to the relevant Payment Facilities Provider.
- If the proof of supply and authorisation is not accepted by the Payment Facilities Provider:
- we will notify the Payee of the failed dispute, and direct debit the payment from the Payee's Account within five Business Days; and
- the Payee will need to recover the payment from the Payer via other means.
- If the Payment Facilities Provider informs us that it has accepted the proof of supply and authorisation, we will allow the payment to stand.
- To avoid any doubt, we have no control over, and are not responsible for, any decision or other action of the Payment Facilities Provider.
- Disputes can occur up to seven years from the date of supply. If you are a Payee, you must keep a record of both proof and authorisation of supply for seven years from the date of supply.

- require you to rectify the issues causing these disputes; and/or
- terminate or suspend your access to Ailo Pay.
- Supply of goods and services
