1.2 These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to Users and Suppliers (or any other person on their behalf) relating to or in connection with their access or use of the Platform.   You agree to these Terms by accessing or using the Platform to access or provide goods or services as either a User or Supplier.

1.3 Mobility is not an in-home care or employment agency.

1.7 The Supplier is not an employee, agent or partner of Mobility or any of its related entities.

2. Platform

2.1 Mobility provides the Platform to enable registered Users to make offers to Suppliers for the purpose of receiving a Supplier’s services, or obtaining those products from the Supplier (“Services”), based on the rates set out by the Supplier on the Platform.

2.2 When a Supplier accepts an offer for Services from a User on the Platform, an agreement is created between the requesting User and the accepting Supplier (“Services Agreement”). A standard Services Agreement, to which Mobility is not and will not be a party, is available here. A Supplier may provide terms different to those specified in the Services Agreement, which will be notified to Users at the point of acceptance.  Mobility will not be a party to any Services Agreement.  The User has discretion to accept the Supplier’s terms.  The Services Agreement does not form part of these Terms.

2.3 Mobility is not a party to any Services Agreement.  Mobility accepts no responsibility for the terms of any Services Agreement and makes no warranties as to the appropriateness of any of the terms in a Services Agreement to a User’s needs or individual circumstances.

2.4 If a User’s request for Services is accepted by a Supplier, the Supplier agrees that the following information may be provided by the Platform:

(a) a booking confirmation to the User;

(b) any information required by any body or authority for audit purposes.

2.5 Mobility does not review, evaluate, interview, screen or vet Suppliers, other than:

(a) as part of the on-boarding process to enable use of the Platform; and

(b) checks such as police, VEVO, driver’s licence and vehicle registration checks.

2.6 Users are responsible for verifying the identification of the Supplier prior to the provision of Services.

2.7 Once services have been completed under a Services Agreement the Supplier will provide a notification  to Mobility by way of a confirmation on the Platform (“Services Completion Notification”).

2.8 By agreeing to these Terms you acknowledge that Mobility

(a) is not involved or in any way responsible for the delivery of Services;

(b) is not bound to enquire as to the performance, default or any breach by any person of its obligations under any Services Agreement entered into by you; and

(c) may rely on any Services Completion Notification as evidence that the Services have been completed.

2.9 You agree that:

(a) the Supplier is not providing Services for or on behalf of Mobility, and the provision of services is in connection with the conduct of their own business; and

(b) Mobility does not control the manner in which the Supplier provides Services; and

(c) the Supplier is responsible for supplying their own equipment for the provision of the Services.

2.10 The Platform is not intended for use in emergency situations.  In an emergency situation (including, but not limited to if a User is suffering an acute illness or emergency condition), call 000.

3. Obligations and liability

3.1 A Supplier is under no obligation to use the Platform or accept any offers made by Users on the Platform.  However, a Supplier who provides Services to a User cannot subsequently provide the same or similar Services to that User other than through the Platform.

3.8 Suppliers and Users agree that the entire risk arising out of provision and/or receipt of Services remains solely with them and they assume full responsibility for all associated risks, to the maximum extent permitted under any applicable laws.

3.9 To the extent permitted by law, you agree to release Mobility from any liability for any claim, damage, loss or expense, including any loss or damage in relation to your home, vehicle, equipment or assets (whether direct, indirect, consequential, inconsequential or otherwise) you suffer as a result of or otherwise arising out of:

7. Changes to the Terms of Use

7.1 Mobility may modify these Terms at any time by uploading the revised Terms to the Platform. Changes come into effect from the day on which the revised Terms are uploaded to the Platform. Your use of the Platform beyond the date of the changes will constitute your acceptance of any changes. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you must cease using the Platform and deactivate your Account immediately.

7.2 If Mobility makes a material change to the Terms, Mobility will notify you by posting a notice of the changes on the Platform and on Mobility’s website and via the email address nominated by you in your Account. You may also request a copy of these updated terms be provided to you at any time.

8. Payment

8.1 Charges for goods and Services are set by Suppliers, not Mobility, and are as shown on the Platform.

8.2 Charges the User incurs for the purchase of products or provision of Services are owed by the User directly to the relevant Supplier at the time of sale/provision, and are payable through the Platform’s payment processing method.

8.3 Charges the User incurs for Services are owed directly to Suppliers. Mobility may collect payment for the Services from the User as a payment administration manager and pass it on to the Supplier.

8.4 Users can request lower charges from a Supplier for Services. If a lower charge is agreed with the Supplier, the Supplier may modify the charge on the Platform through their Account. Any dispute as to the agreed level of charges is not the responsibility of Mobility, and Users must contact the Supplier in accordance with the Services Agreement.

8.5 Mobility charges a non-refundable fee to Suppliers for the opportunity for Suppliers to connect with Users on the Platform (“Platform Service Fee”). The Platform Service Fee is a percentage of the total fee charged by the Supplier for the Services as agreed on the Platform (“Agreed Fee”).

8.6 You agree that:

(a) for Users, you will be charged an amount for the Services that may include the Platform Service Fee; and

(b) for Suppliers:

(i) the Platform Service Fee is due and payable to Mobility:

(A) at the time a Services Completion Notification is provided in respect of Services or goods provided by you to a User through or as a consequence of the Platform; and

(B) upon entitlement to payment due to a cancellation by a User within 24 hours of the proposed time of delivery of the Services; and

(ii) Mobility may set off amounts owed to you by a User for the provision of Services against any amounts you owe Mobility on account of any fees (including but not limited to the Platform Service Fee);

(iii) Mobility may, but is not obliged to, assist with the administration of the provision of Services by creating invoices on your behalf in respect of the Platform Service Fee.

8.7 Mobility reserves the right to vary the Platform Services Fee and any other fees (including new fees) at any time.

8.8 If you are a User:

(a) Once Mobility receives a Services Completion Notification from the Supplier, Mobility will debit (for the benefit of the Supplier as their payment administration manager) your primary Account payment method for the Agreed Fee). If you are registered as a plan-managed or agency managed User, Mobility may set your plan as the primary Account payment method for eligible Services in accordance with the requirements of the Platform.

(b) If Mobility is notified that the National Disability Insurance Agency (“NDIA”) has rejected or only partially-funded a payment due to a Supplier, the User irrevocably authorises Mobility to debit (for the benefit of the Supplier as their payment administration manager) their secondary Account payment method for the balance of the unpaid amount due to the Supplier.

(c) If you acknowledge that you are (or are acting on behalf of) a participant under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (“NDIS”), then you must, upon request by Mobility, confirm your (or the person you represent) status as a participant of the NDIS and confirm the material details of any plan under the NDIS to Mobility.

(d) All payments debited by Mobility from a User will be enabled by Mobility using the preferred payment method designated in the User’s Account, after which the User will receive a receipt in their Account (and by email if selected by the User).

(e) Charges debited from a User’s Account are final and non-refundable, unless under consumer law or otherwise at Mobility’s discretion.

8.9 If you are a Supplier, once Mobility receives a Services Completion Notification from you, you will be paid by the User in accordance with the Services Agreement to the Services you have provided.

8.10 Payment methods available on the Platform have their own applicable terms.

8.11An invalid or expired payment method on your Account may prevent you using the Platform.

8.12You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the bank account or credit card details that you provide to Mobility, including for Suppliers, the bank account number and BSB number for payment for Services, or for Users their credit card details.

8.13 Mobility expressly disclaims all liability related to errors in fund deposits due to inaccurate or incomplete bank details or credit card details being submitted by Users or Suppliers (as applicable).

8.14 Mobility uses Braintree Payments to store and process credit card transactions. The Supplier acknowledges that this may create delays in the processing and making of payment.  Mobility expressly disclaims any and all liability for any claims or damages related to our use of third party payment processing services and such transfers, including without limitation any damage that may result should any such information be released to any third parties.

8.15 If a User cancels an order of goods or Services prior to delivery, the User agrees that the Supplier may charge a cancellation fee pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement they have entered with the Supplier.

8.16 If you are a Supplier and, for any reason, you provide a Services Completion Notification where the Services have not been completed, any amounts collected by Mobility (in its role as payment administration manager) from the User for these Services (including the Fee) is repayable by the Supplier (“Refundable Amount”), and will constitute a debt due and payable to the User.  Mobility may, in its capacity as the payment administration manager, take all reasonable steps to return the Refundable Amount to the relevant User and obtain the Refundable Amount from the Supplier.

8.17 If a User is dissatisfied with the provision of Services by the Supplier, and you agree to a refund or return of some or all of the Agreed Fee, the Supplier remains entitled to the Platform Service Fee for the provision of those Services.

8.18 For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of the circumstances or order of payment to the Supplier (including if Mobility provides amounts in respect of Services to a Supplier before it deducts amounts from a User’s Account), Mobility is not legally responsible for payment as a payor, or a payroll Supplier or service.

9. Plan-managed Users

9.1 Users may be self-managed or plan-managed for payment purposes.  Self-managed Users are required to pay the Agreed Fee using a payment method authorised by Mobility, e.g. credit card.  Plan-managed Users may utilise the services of a plan manager to manage funding in relation to payment for the receipt of Services on the Platform.

9.2 Plan-managed Users agree to engage Mobility to act as a payment administration manager for the purposes of procuring payment from the plan manager, as necessary, to pay the Agreed Fee to the Supplier for the Services provided.

9.3 Once Mobility receives a notification from the Supplier that the Services have been provided to a User who is a plan-managed User, Mobility will liaise with the User’s plan manager or any other relevant third party to arrange payment of the Agreed Fee.

9.4 If for any reason the Supplier provides a notification that the Services have been completed in circumstances where they have not been, and Mobility procures payment from the User’s plan manager, the Supplier indemnifies and holds harmless Mobility (and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) from and against any loss, damage, liability, claims, costs (including legal costs), penalties and expenses (including administrative fees and expenses) incurred by Mobility arising out of or in connection with reversing, terminating or withdrawing the incorrect claim including any costs imposed by the plan manager for such action.

10. Insurance

10.1 The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that, when providing Services:

(a) at all times the Supplier will hold and maintain motor vehicle liability insurance on all vehicles which the Supplier operates at insurance levels that satisfy the minimum requirements to operate a private passenger vehicle on public roads, where provision of Services requires a vehicle;

(b) upon request, the Supplier will provide Mobility with a copy of any insurance policy, policy declarations, proof of insurance identification card, certificate of currency and proof of premium payment for any required insurance policy;

(c) the Supplier must, at all times, be a named insured or individually listed or rated driver, for which a premium is charged, on any insurance policy required under this clause;

(d) Mobility does not, and is not required to, maintain or provide the Supplier or User with workers’ compensation insurance or maintain other occupational accident injury insurance on the Supplier’s behalf;

(e) a Supplier who does or intends to provide Services as an allied health professional must maintain public liability insurance and adequate insurance with a reputable insurer to support all indemnities given by the Provider under this agreement;  ; and

(f) the Supplier will maintain workers’ compensation insurance or other personal accident insurance (or the local equivalent) as required by any applicable law and otherwise comply with all statutory workers compensation requirements.

10.2 The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that they are not covered by any workers’ compensation insurance policy of Mobility, and indemnifies Mobility for any loss, damage, liability, claims, costs, penalty and expenses (including, reasonable administrative fees) incurred by Mobility arising out of or in connection with any workers’ compensation claim made by a Supplier.

11. Credit Card pre-authorisation

11.1 Mobility may be required to assess whether a User has the means to fulfil their obligation to make payments for the Services. Mobility reserves the right to conduct a pre-authorisation of your credit card if it is a User’s nominated payment method. This may involve placing funds in the account linked to your credit card on hold each time a User makes a purchase or request for Services, or adds a new card to their Platform account.

11.2 The pre-authorisation amount will not exceed the total amount (plus one cent) owed to the Supplier for that purchase or for booking that Service.

11.3 No funds are received by Mobility or the Supplier during the pre-authorisation process.

11.4 Mobility cannot guarantee the time it takes for your bank to process both the pre-authorisation transaction.

12. Digital Wallet

12.1 For plan-managed or agency-managed Users, the Platform has a feature which provides an indication of the remaining funding available to that User under their pre-existing plan at any given time.  For the purpose of providing this service, if you are a plan-managed or agency-managed User, you accept and agree that the amounts shown on the Platform may not be accurate and the User should not rely solely on the amount stated on the Platform for decisions on Services to be procured by them and issues outside of Mobility’s control may affect the amounts available under their plan, including but not limited to:

(a) incorrect information having been provided by the User upon creation of their Account;

(b) decisions made by the plan manager which alters the amounts available to the User; and

(c) any instance where the User or any other related person have used any part of the User’s available funding on services purchased outside of the Platform or on ineligible Services through the Platform.

12.2 In addition to the above, agency-managed or plan-managed Users also acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for ensuring that:

(a) the monies set out in their Digital Wallet are correct; and

(b) any Services purchased via the Platform are paid by them if they do not have sufficient monies available under their plan-managed plan.

12.3 You acknowledge and agree:

(a) that the Digital Wallet is only a rough guide to the monies available to a User to acquire goods or Services; and

(b) to release Mobility from any liability for claim, damage, loss or expense (whether direct, indirect, consequential, inconsequential or otherwise) you suffer as a result of any inconsistencies between the Digital Wallet and the monies available under the relevant User’s plan.

13. Training

13.1 Mobility may facilitate access to training by third party training organisations to Suppliers for the purposes of professional development.  Suppliers may not be able to accept Services until they complete or confirm prior completion of training.

13.2 You acknowledge and agree:

(a) that the training is provided by a third party, and is not training directly offered or delivered by Mobility;

(b) that while Mobility has made best endeavours to ensure the validity of the information supplied in the training, it does not warrant the content, validity or accuracy of such information;

(c) to release Mobility from any liability for any claim, damage, loss or expense (whether direct, indirect, consequential, inconsequential or otherwise) you suffer as a result of receiving or relying on the training; and

(d) Mobility will not be liable, including for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever, for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of Mobility facilitating access to the training for Suppliers or taking or not taking any action in relation to training.

14. Registered Supplier of Supports

14.1 Mobility is not a Registered Provider of Services under the NDIS, and does not provide goods or services through the NDIS. All NDIS goods and services ordered on the Platform are provided by independent Suppliers who are not agents of, or employed or otherwise engaged by, Mobility.

14.2 If the Supplier confirms on the Platform that the Supplier is a RPOS, the Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier will comply with the policies set out on the Mobility website and Platform, and the Supplier guarantees that the Services provided to the User will be of an appropriate quality, be delivered safely and will meet the NDIS Quality and Safeguard Framework.  Failure to comply with this clause may result in suspension or termination of a Supplier’s Account by Mobility (as determined in its absolute discretion).

14.3 If you acknowledge that you are an RPOS under the NDIS, then you must, upon request by Mobility or a User, provide sufficient evidence to confirm your status as an RPOS under the NDIS.

14.4 Mobility does not make any representations as to any eligibility or assessment of eligibility for financial support for Users under the NDIS for the Services. The use and funding for the Services remain subject to the Users personal arrangements under the NDIS and any related or subordinate legislation, as amended from time to time.

14.5 Where applicable, Mobility does not guarantee the quality, appropriateness, safety or otherwise of the NDIS services, nor that the NDIS service meets the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Framework.  The User accepts the risks arising out of their use of the Platform to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Privacy

15.1 Mobility’s Privacy Policy is available on Mobility’s website, and here.

15.2 Purposes for which Mobility collects and may use and disclose your, and other persons that use the Platform’s, personal information include registering and managing your account and use of the Platform, providing you with the Platform, exercising rights and carrying out obligations under these Terms, and operating the Platform and the Mobility business.

15.3 Mobility may record calls to and from it for training and quality assurance purposes, and other purposes specified in the Privacy Policy. You agree and consent to these calls being recorded, unless you expressly withdraw your consent to Mobility during the call.

16. Feedback and complaints

16.1 You may, but are not required to, rate a Supplier or User on the Platform after conclusion of the Services being provided. You must be fair and accurate when leaving complaints, comments, feedback, testimonials or reviews.

16.2 If Mobility becomes aware of any complaints, comments, feedback, testimonials or reviews which are in breach of clause 16.1 or otherwise exposes Mobility to any legal liability, it reserves the right to remove the complaint, comment, feedback, testimonial or review.

18. Retention of Notes and Data

18.1 At the conclusion of the provision of Services, Suppliers must document notes of the care and Services provided to the User using the method provided for on the Platform, e.g. in a “Notes” section of the clock out page of the Platform.  These User health status notes must be sufficiently comprehensive to enable any later Supplier to properly understand the Services that were previously provided to the User.

18.2 If you are a User, you acknowledge that:

(a) if you breach any of the terms set out in the Mobility Code of Conduct, Mobility may, in its sole discretion, include behavioural notes on your account for the purpose of providing appropriate notice to Suppliers of any prior breaches of the Code of Conduct; and

(b) if the Services you receive are provided by a support worker who is part of a larger Supplier network, the notes prepared by that support worker and the details of the User’s goals may be stored by Mobility and may be made available to other support workers who are a part of that larger Supplier network.
