Fees

Researching and planning funeral services, burial monuments and legal services

With the exception of the Purchase Price paid for funeral services, funeral celebrants, burial monuments and/or other goods or services purchased through the Website, there are currently no mandatory fees for users researching and/or planning funeral services, funeral celebrants, burial monuments, and/or legal services by using our Website, the content and/or the Services (‘Members’).

Fee-based programs for Vendors

Fee-based subscriptions and/or services are available for professionals, facilities, companies or other entities (‘Vendors’).

Vendors may opt in to services offered by Gathered Here and/or have their account listed in a Gathered Here vendor directory. Certain Vendor services and listing options can be found on our information pages for funeral homes and funeral directors, for funeral celebrants or for monumental masons, as applicable.

Vendors who participate in Gathered Here’s fee-based subscriptions and/or services will pay the fees advised by Gathered Here from time to time, on these Terms and any other terms and conditions advised by Gathered Here from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, Gathered Here may increase or change any fee and/or subscription rate at its discretion, by providing written notice to a Vendor.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Vendors are independent third party providers who are not employed by Gathered Here or any of its affiliates.

Purchasing Funeral Services Through the Website

The Website enables users to use the Services to purchase funeral services and goods from Vendors under agreement with Gathered Here. Not all funeral services and goods are available to purchase using the Services, only those specified as such.

Gathered Here makes no guarantee that you will be approved for finance necessary to purchase funeral services and/or goods using the Services.

You acknowledge that Gathered Here does not provide funeral services or goods or function as a funeral director or supplier and that all such funeral services or goods are provided by independent third party Vendors. Gathered Here does not make any warranties about those funeral services and goods. Any legal claim related to a funeral service or good that you purchase must be brought directly against the Vendor. You release Gathered Here from any claims related to services and/or goods sold through our Services.

Appointment of Gathered Here as Limited Collection Agent for Vendors

Each Vendor appoints Gathered Here as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments to the Vendor for funeral services and goods purchased by Members through use of the Services.

Purchase Price

Gathered Here lists prices for funeral services and/or goods supplied by Vendors, which are available to purchase using the Services. These prices are intended only as a guide. Prices may change at any time, and can be adjusted on a case by case basis at the discretion of the relevant Vendor.

The actual price a Member must pay for funeral services and/or goods purchased using the Services will be the price listed on the Website, as adjusted (if at all) and notified to the Member by the relevant Vendor (‘Purchase Price’).

Purchase

A Member may use the Services to purchase funeral services and/or goods from a Vendor provided they have (i) sought approval from that Vendor for the purchase; and (ii) confirmed with the Vendor the Purchase Price.  Members must input and pay the relevant Purchase Price when using the Services to make their purchase.

To the extent permitted by law, we (and our assignees) exclude all liability for any loss or damage suffered or incurred by you (whether directly or indirectly) where a zipMoney account is used fraudulently or in an unauthorised manner.

Settlement of payments

Gathered Here will settle payments that are actually received by Gathered Here to the relevant Vendor, less any amounts owed to Gathered Here and subject to these Terms.

Where Gathered Here receives a payment from a Member, we will confirm as soon as possible with the relevant Vendor that the Member paid the actual Purchase Price.

Where the Vendor confirms that the Member paid the actual Purchase Price, we will deposit the Purchase Price, less the Transaction Fee, in the Vendor’s nominated bank account within 3 business days of receipt of the Vendor’s confirmation (‘Completed Purchase’). The Transaction Fee is calculated as a percentage of the Purchase Price, as communicated to the Vendor from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, Gathered Here may modify the Transaction Fee with prior notice to the Vendor.

Gathered Here will notify the Vendor of the Completed Purchase by email. We will notify the Member by email of the Completed Purchase.

Where the Vendor confirms that the Member did not pay the actual Purchase Price, the purchase will be cancelled and the funds paid will be refunded to the Member (‘Cancelled Purchase’). The Member may then re-purchase the services and/or goods at the correct Purchase Price.

Gathered Here may change the Transaction Fee at any time, with prior notice to Vendors.

In some cases, deposits to Vendors’ bank accounts could be temporarily delayed by an issue at Gathered Here, our service providers, or at a Vendor’s bank. We will do our best to communicate with the affected Vendors as soon as we can.

Rebate

Gathered Here makes it possible for Members to utilise the Services to purchase certain funeral services and/or goods, and to finance those funeral services and/or goods using zipMoney (‘zipMoney Purchase’). For more information about zipMoney Purchases visit our zipMoney FAQs.

Subject to the conditions listed below, where a Member makes a zipMoney Purchase, and sends an email to finance@gatheredhere.com.au not less than 3 months, but not more than 6 months, after the date of the zipMoney Purchase, and provides the following details:

• Member’s full name, phone number and email (matching the details of your zipMoney
• application);
• total of the establishment fee paid to zipMoney (‘zipMoney Establishment Fee’);
• total of the monthly administration fees paid to zipMoney in the first 3 months following the date of purchase (‘zipMoney 3 Month Admin Fee’); and
• account number and BSB of the bank account to which you want us to transfer the
• rebate,

Gathered Here will rebate to the Member the zipMoney Establishment Fee and zipMoney 3 Month Admin Fee.

The maximum rebate for a zipMoney Establishment Fee available to a Member is the zipMoney establishment fee applicable to the lowest zipMoney credit limit within which the Member’s Purchase Price falls. For example, if a Member’s Purchase Price is $2,500, then the lowest zipMoney credit limit within which this Purchase Price falls is $3,000. The zipMoney establishment fee for a $3,000 credit limit is $49. Provided that the Member provides an email complying with the above to Gathered Here, we will rebate to the Member the zipMoney Establishment Fee of $49. However, if the Purchase Price is $2,500 but the Member applies for a credit limit of $5,000 and thus pays a zipMoney Establishment Fee of $99, Gathered Here will only rebate $49.

Gathered Here will process the rebate within 5 business days of receiving an email that complies with the above.

Refunds

Subject to the Rebate clause, and with the exception of Cancelled Purchases, funds paid to purchase funeral services and/or goods using the Services are non-refundable. Any refunds and/or discounts offered to a Member by a Vendor are strictly between the Vendor and the Member.

Authorisation to credit and debit accounts

Should you opt in to a fee-based program, you irrevocably and expressly authorise Gathered Here to debit any monies owed to us from the account that you have specified to us for payment and/or entered for payment at the checkout. Should you authorise Gathered Here to debit monies owed on an ongoing basis, you warrant to maintain a valid, non-expired credit card on file with us while engaging in fee-based activities and using fee-based Services on our Website. We reserve our rights to pursue any and all actions and remedies to recover any monies owed to Gathered Here. You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless for any and all claims, demands or causes of actions that we take to recover money owed pursuant to this section.

Recoupment

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to seek reimbursement from a Vendor in any of the following circumstances:

• we discover erroneous or duplicate transactions related to a Vendor;
• a Vendor does not act in accordance with these Terms.

We may obtain reimbursement of any amounts owed by a Vendor to us by deducting from future payments owed to the Vendor, charging the Vendor’s credit card on file, or seeking reimbursement from the Vendor by any other lawful means, including by using third-party collections services. You authorise us to use any or all of the foregoing methods to seek reimbursement.

Promotions and Offers

In regard to any offer or promotion that we may make available from time to time, we reserve the right to reject, deny or not honour that offer or promotion in our absolute discretion.

Probate Services

The terms and conditions on which we or one of our partners provides Probate Services will be provided to you when you instruct us, or one of our partners, to conduct Probate Services on your behalf.
