Any ATO penalty tables or examples we publish are illustrative only and may not reflect the current or actual penalty imposed by the ATO in your circumstances.

8.5 Our Data – Tax
Our Data relating to tax is general information only and:

- we do not endorse or guarantee any third-party product; and
- the provider of the product is solely responsible for its terms, performance and compliance with Law.
Our liability in connection with Little Money Offers is limited as set out in sections 7 and 16.
11. AFFILIATED THIRD-PARTY OFFERS (INCLUDING PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE & SUPER)
From time to time, we may:

If a failure is not major, we may in our discretion:

If we approve your NDR request:
- we will generally pay the approved NDR amount to you on the next business day; and

You are responsible for ensuring sufficient funds are available for each Automatic Payment.
13.6 Late Fees and Bounce Fees
- A Late Fee (for example, $19) may be charged on any overdue Automatic Payment.
- A Bounce Fee (for example, $30) may be charged for any failed direct debit.
- These Fees may be updated from time to time and as displayed on our Sites.
You agree to pay all Late Fees and Bounce Fees charged to you.

- you will be liable for all recovery costs on a full indemnity basis, including debt collection charges; and
- you authorise us to report any bad debt to credit reporting agencies.

14. COMPETITIONS, PROMOTIONS & REFER-A-FRIEND
From time to time, we may run promotions, competitions or referral programs (collectively, Promotions).
- The promoter is Mobile Business Devices Pty Ltd (ABN 17 602 368 945) trading as One Click Life.
- Specific terms and conditions for a Promotion (Promotion Terms) will be published on our Site or within our app during the relevant period.

Example – Refer a Friend Competition:
During the promotional period specified in the Promotion Terms:
- eligible entrants may earn entries by successfully referring friends who create an account;
- multiple entries may be permitted;
- winners may be drawn periodically and notified via mobile, email or in-app messages;
- we may verify entrants’ identity, age and residence, and disqualify entries in cases of suspected fraud, tampering or non-compliance.
Unless otherwise required by Law:
- the Promoter’s decision is final;
- we may use winners’ name, likeness, image and/or voice for promotion without further remuneration; and
- we exclude liability for any Loss associated with the Promotion, except where such liability cannot be excluded by Law (including Non-Excludable Guarantees).
