Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Screenpay. Screenpay is operated by Screenpay, referred to below as “we” or “us”. By creating or using a workspace, you agree to these terms.

1. What Screenpay is

Screenpay is software for preparing Australian screen-production payment records. It applies published calculation rules to the classifications, dates and figures you select, shows its calculation lines for review, and prepares files for your bank, books and records.

2. What Screenpay is not

Screenpay is not a bank, payment service, payroll bureau, registered tax agent or registered BAS agent. It does not hold, receive or move money, lodge with the ATO, or transmit contributions to a super fund. The software and its general guidance are not a substitute for advice from a registered tax or BAS agent, lawyer, accountant or payroll professional who has considered your circumstances.

3. Your responsibility and verification

You and the organisation controlling the workspace are responsible for engagement classification, source data, selections, approvals, payments and statutory obligations. Before a payment batch can be sealed, an authorised administrator must review the displayed inputs and results and attest that they are correct and appropriate for the intended use. Screenpay retains the exact attestation and frozen approval record with the batch; that record does not independently prove the underlying treatment is legally or factually correct.

• ·Verify payee and payer bank details independently before instructing a transfer.
• ·Obtain professional advice where a classification, tax, award, super or consent question depends on facts the software cannot determine.
• ·Keep independent copies of records for the periods that apply to you.
• ·Only enter personal information you are authorised to collect, and give each person an appropriate collection notice.

4. Accounts and authority

You must keep your account secure and use the service only for an organisation you are authorised to act for. Workspace administrators control higher-impact actions, including payer settings, billing, consent evidence, payment-batch approval and destructive retention operations. You must promptly remove access that is no longer authorised. Creating or using a workspace means you agree to the current Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Routine wording or Privacy Policy updates do not block access; we may ask for renewed express acceptance if a material contractual change requires it. Where Screenpay previously captured an express workspace acceptance, that exact versioned record remains immutable.

5. Personal information and consent

The workspace customer ordinarily collects talent information and directs us to process it. You must have authority and an appropriate purpose for that collection, disclose Screenpay and relevant service providers where required, and honour access, correction, consent and withdrawal requests. Our own handling is described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Charges

Current charges and included usage are shown before purchase. Pay-as-you-shoot prices are in Australian dollars and GST inclusive. Its payee count, free allowance and cap use UTC calendar months, resetting at 00:00 UTC on the first of each month (10:00 AEST or 11:00 AEDT in Sydney and Melbourne). Other displayed offers state their GST treatment. You authorise us and our billing provider to collect charges you approve. Statutory refund rights are unaffected.

7. Availability and changes

The service is in beta. We may maintain, change or discontinue features and will take reasonable steps to communicate material changes. You should keep independent copies of critical records and follow the export and reconciliation checks in your payment process.

8. Acceptable use

You must not misuse the service, probe or bypass access controls, upload unlawful or malicious material, impersonate another person, or use another person’s data without authority. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect people, data, the service or comply with law.

9. Liability and mandatory rights

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies a guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law. Subject to those mandatory rights, the beta is supplied as available and you remain responsible for reviewing outputs and instructing payments. These terms do not purport to exclude liability where doing so would be unlawful.

10. Contact and governing law

Questions about these terms may be sent to hello@screenpay.com.au. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the parties submit to courts with jurisdiction there.
