1. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.1 These additional Terms and Conditions (the “Additional Terms”) shall be read in conjunction with the General Terms and Conditions for Senders (the “General Terms”) which can be found at www.gopeople.com.au/terms/.

1.2 Words which are defined in the General Terms have the same meaning in the Additional Terms as in the General Terms unless the context requires otherwise.

2. USING THE GOBUNDLE SERVICE AS A SENDER

2.1 The Application provides you with an opportunity to make an advance booking of a runner (the “Bundle Runner”) for a minimum of three (3) hours delivery work, which can be performed between the hours of 5:00am and 10:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (a “Timeframe”). Go People will help you find the Bundle Runner in accordance with your requirements.

2.2 To use the GoBUNDLE Service, you must:

  1. post a Timeframe on the Application before the Timeframe begins;
  2. upload all the delivery jobs (the “Job”) for a Timeframe before the Timeframe begins;
  3. choose your vehicle type ; and
  4. pay the Base Timeframe Fee to Go People either by authorising Go People to automatically deduct the Base Timeframe Fee from your digital wallet linked to your Account or by making advance payment via a credit/debit card. The Base Timeframe Fee is equal to the Estimated Work Time (“EWT”) for a Timeframe multiplied by the hourly rate plus other variables and levies such as a long distance levy and and out of metro levy (the “Base Timeframe Fee”).

2.3 You acknowledge and agree that the EWT is an estimation only and is calculated based on historical data. The EWT may vary from time to time based on the information given by you. Go People cannot guarantee that the EWT will reflect the actual delivery time.

2.4 If the number of Bundle Runners required to complete the Timeframe is more than the number of Bundle Runners you have booked, then Go People or you may:

  1. increase the period of the Timeframe with additional payment;
  2. book the additional Jobs as GoVIP or as GoSAMEDAY Services;
  3. move the additional Jobs to the next cut-off time; or
  4. cancel the additional Jobs, with no cancellation fee payable.

2.5 Go People and/or the Bundle Runner will only perform the Services for you after:

  1. you have posted a Timeframe;
  2. the Delivery Services Fee has been paid in full; and
  3. a Bundle Runner has irrevocably confirmed its acceptance of your Timeframe.

In some situations, Go People may be unable to source a Bundle Runner to perform the Services to you and therefore will be unable to accept the Timeframe. Where no Bundle Runner has been assigned to your Timeframe and the Timeframe has not been accepted by Go People, you may cancel the Timeframe and Go People will provide you with a refund pursuant to clause 5 of the Additional Terms.

2.6 You acknowledge that you and your recipient are responsible to confirm that the Timeframe has been completed by the Bundle Runner. Should you, or your recipient, fail to confirm that the Timeframe has been completed by the Bundle Runner, Go People will automatically mark the Timeframe as being completed after 48 hours.

2.7 Should you wish to dispute the performance of the Timeframe, please follow the Dispute Resolution procedures as set out in clause 13 of the General Terms.

2.8 Go People encourages you to always ensure that all Timeframes are posted through the Application and not to:

  1. contact a Bundle Runner directly to engage the Bundle Runner to perform any courier services without using the Application; and/or
  2. instruct a Bundle Runner who has been assigned to you to perform additional delivery jobs outside the scope of the existing retainer.

This is because the Refund Policy in clause 5 and the Warranty in clause 6 of the Additional Terms only apply to Timeframes posted on the Application and they do not apply to any Timeframes that are not posted on the Application. Accordingly, should any issues arise from any courier services that are not posted on the Application, such as loss of, or damage to, the delivery goods, you will have no access to any remedies and/or warranty provided by Go People under the Additional Terms.

2.9 Go People and/or the Bundle Runners cannot guarantee that the Timeframe can be completed within the delivery time frame as unexpected circumstances or events that are beyond Go People and/or the Bundle Runners’ reasonable control may arise and delay the performance of the Timeframe.

2.10 Where the delivery goods are packaged using boxes, the size of each of the boxes must not exceed 0.2m x 0.2m x 0.2m or weigh greater than 10kg and it is your responsibility to ensure that the goods are packaged into a size which is capable of being collected and stored in the motor vehicle the Bundle Runner has allocated to the Job. Within 15 minutes from the time the Bundle Runner accepts the Timeframe and/or Job, you must ascertain whether the motor vehicle will be suitable for its purposes and if the motor vehicle is unsuitable or if you are uncertain, you must contact the Bundle Runner immediately and within the time period specified above. The Runner may refuse to deliver the goods if the size of each of the boxes do not match your description and if so, you will be liable for any additional costs and expenses (such as cancellation fee) that may be incurred in relation to the delivery goods.

3. RECEIPT POLICY

3.1 On receipt of any deposits, Go People will provide you with a receipt for the amount of the deposit.

4. ADDITIONAL FEES

4.1 Subject to Clause 4.2 and 4.3 of these Terms, in using the GoBUNDLE Service, you acknowledge that you may be charged for the following additional fees (if applicable):

  1. a delay fee where you or the recipient are not at the location of the pick-up or delivery and the Bundle Runner is required to wait for more than 10 minutes prior to being able to complete the pick-up or delivery as arranged. The delay fee is $0.00 for the first 10 minutes after the scheduled pick-up or delivery time and any waiting time thereafter shall be added to the delivery Estimated Work Time (EWT) for final payment (the “Waiting Fee”). For instance, if the EWT is 3 hour and the Bundle Runner is required to wait for an additional 40 minutes, the first 10 minutes waiting time is free but the additional waiting time of 30 minutes will be added to the EWT, making the EWT 3 hour and 30 minutes. You must pay for the final EWT of 3 hour and 30 minutes based on the hourly rate;
  2. a cancellation fee of:
    1. 100% of the Base Timeframe Fee will always apply if you cancel a Timeframe after the commencement time of a Timeframe;
    2. 100% of the Base Timeframe Fee will always apply if you cancel a Timeframe with less than 15 minutes from the commencement time of a Timeframe;
    3. 60% of the Base Timeframe Fee will always apply if you cancel a Timeframe with less than 2 hours from the commencement time of a Timeframe; and
    4. 30% of the Base Timeframe Fee will always apply if you cancel a Timeframe with less than 24 hours but more than 2 hours from the commencement time of a Timeframe,
    1. (collectively referred to as the “Cancellation Fee”).
      An Additional Cancellation Fee may apply for period of special occasions such as during the Christmas period from 22 December to 2 January, up to 7 days before and after Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. You must provide the cancellation notice to Go People via email to support@gopeople.com.au or via the member portal. Cancellation notice that are provided via any other means are deemed void and of no effect.
  3. a return fee for the items which were unable to be delivered (the “Return Fee”). The Return Fee is calculated at the standard GoVIP delivery fee, calculated from the last delivery address of the GoBUNDLE to the original departure address. You will only be charged one (1) Return Fee during the GoBUNDLE, notwithstanding there may be more than one (1) item which is unable to be delivered . The Return Fee may be waived if the Bundle Runner can return the item to the Sender during the next Timeframe (if any); and
  4. a fee for re-delivery (where applicable), being the GoVIP price (which shall not be less than $11.00) to deliver the item from the original pick-up location of the item to a new destination address (the “Re-delivery Fee”). The re-delivery fee is calculated at the standard GoVIP delivery fee, calculated from the initial drop-off address to the new drop-off address.

(collectively referred to as the “Additional Fees”)

4.2 You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. where you are unavailable to allow for pick-up of the delivery goods or your nominee is unavailable to collect the delivery goods at the designated time and location;
  2. where you have failed to properly identify the specifics of any of the Jobs within the Timeframe or provided incorrect or incomplete information and, as a result, Go People and/or the Bundle Runner is unable to complete the Timeframe and/or the Jobs; or
  3. the goods to be delivered are Restricted Items pursuant to clause 4 of the General Terms and you failed to notify Go People of the same,

then, in addition to the Base Timeframe Fee, you will be required to pay the Additional Fees (if applicable). In the event that you elect to have the Timeframe completed by the Bundle Runner after rectifying the issues in question, Go People reserves the right to charge you up to an additional $2/km distance travelled and up to $30/hour of additional time spent as a consequence of any of the reasons listed above. However, Go People will use reasonable endeavours to notify you of the additional costs.

5. REFUND

5.1 The Base Timeframe Fee is not refundable in the following circumstances:

  1. you are unable to attend to facilitate the completion of the Timeframe;
  2. the Runner is unable to complete the Timeframe due to incorrect, incomplete or insufficient instructions provided by you as to the location, timeframe or security requirements relevant to the Timeframe; or
  3. the Runner is unable, for whatever reason, to complete the Timeframe due to your action or omission (such as where you have booked the wrong type of vehicle for delivery). or
  4. if the Runner has attempted delivery, have been unable to complete same at not fault of the Runners, and has returned the goods damaged.
