Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Updated: 14 July 2024

  1. RaundTable Pty Ltd (‘RaundTable’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’) operates an online tool or platform that allows individuals (‘you’, ‘your’, ‘members’) to form groups (called Tables) to save money towards a shared financial goal and share money with other members within that Table according to rules set and agreed upon by members of each Table.
  2. Sharing money may mean that other members in the same Table may receive shared funds from other members in anticipation that the receiving members will repay the money as agreed by all members. Members will access shared funds in a pre-defined order agreed upon by all Table members and sharing will continue until all members have accessed the shared funds.
  3. RaundTable will provide NO OTHER service except making available to you our online tool that allows you to create your Table (including setting your saving goal), invite your trusted members to join your Table, facilitate the sharing of funds by transferring funds between members and record the transactions completed by all members or by RaundTable on behalf of and as instructed by Table members. (Services)
  4. RaundTable provides the Services through a mobile application listed on Google PlayTM and Apple App StoreTM. Information on how we provide the Services can be found on raundtable.com.au. (‘website’)
  5. Please read these Website Terms and Conditions (‘Terms’) carefully. By using the Services, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not understand these Terms or are unsure if the Services are suitable for your circumstances, you must discontinue using the Services and seek independent advice.

2. Important Information on Services We Provide

  1. Members share money in Tables according to rules agreed upon by all members (including how much is shared, when the money is shared, and the order in which the money is shared). This means that members who receive shared funds earlier than other members are expected to repay that money according to rules agreed on by all members. RaundTable does not and will not participate in the creation of Tables or nor do we set the rules of any Table on behalf of members.
  2. Money shared within Tables is shared by and between members of that Table and not by RaundTable. All members who use our Services are not in the business of providing credit services and do not charge any interest or any other charges on any money shared with you expect the service fee we charge you to use our tool. This means that money you share with other members is not regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (National Credit Act).
  3. RaundTable does not provide credit services as defined in the National Credit Code because the funds you share with your Table members are unregulated and we are not a party to nor do we influence in any way, shape, or form the agreement you make with your Table members. RaundTable’s sole purpose is to provide you with the necessary digital and administrative support to assist you to create and manage your Tables according to your rules. Our tool is not a regulated financial service.

3. Risk of Financial Loss

  1. RaundTable does not guarantee (whether express or implied) the successful performance of any member in your Table. You may lose some or all your money if a member fails to repay the funds you shared.
  2. You must add to your Table individuals that you know and trust only. You must also make any and all reasonable enquiries to confirm that all members you add to your Table have the means and capacity to participate to contribute money to your Table as agreed until all members have received back the money they shared.
  3. If you lose some or all your money, you agree that RaundTable, its third-party affiliates, employees, officers, agents, contributors, and licensors shall not be liable to you for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages resulting from the loss incurred (including any loss of goodwill or business reputation and any other intangible loss).
