Owner Users may advertise the availability of a job for an agent to perform;

You acknowledge the content produced by Agent Users and Owner Users in their use of the Vendorable Service is not that of Vendorable, and in that regard you agree:
-
to use such content at your own risk;

to hold Vendorable harmless from all liability for any damage you may suffer relying on anything contained in or omitted from such content, to the full extent permitted by law; and

-
Service Fee
-
In consideration of the Vendorable Service, you agree that we are entitled to be paid a fee, calculated and payable as follows ("Service Fee"):
-
If a job posted on the Website by an Owner User relates to the sale of property and:
-
the Owner User is introduced to an Agent User through the Website;
-
the Owner User appoints that Agent User, their associate, employer or related corporation (regardless of whether the appointment is transacted through the Website); and
-
the Agent User, their associate, employer or related corporation becomes entitled to a fee for service from the Owner User arising out of substantially the same subject matter as the job posted by the Owner User on the Website; then
Service Fee = (C × 5%) + T, where:
- C is the whole fee for service (e.g. commission) payable and/or paid to the Agent User, their associate, employer and/or related corporation, including any and all consumption taxes (e.g. GST or VAT) and not including marketing or other costs reimbursed by the Owner User; and
- T is the cumulative rate of any and all consumption taxes we must pay to the relevant taxation and/or revenue authority multiplied by (C × 5%)
to be paid to us by the Agent User, their associate, employer and/or related corporation upon the earliest of either completion of the sale of the property or payment to the the Agent User, their associate, employer and/or related corporation of any part of C.
For example, if the agent's commission is 2% and the owner's property in Australia where the GST rate is 10% sells for $500,000 then our fee is 2% × $500,000 × 5.5% = $550.
For example, if the agent's commission is 1% and the owner's property in New Zealand where the GST rate is 15% sells for $500,000 then our fee is 1% × $500,000 × 5.75% = $287.50.
-
-
If a job posted on the Website by an Owner User relates to the lease of property and:
-
the Owner User is introduced to an Agent User through the Website;
-
the Owner User appoints that Agent User, their associate, employer or related corporation (regardless of whether the appointment is transacted through the Website); and
-
the Agent User, their associate, employer or related corporation becomes entitled to a fee for service from the Owner User arising out of substantially the same subject matter as the job posted by the Owner User on the Website; then
Service Fee = (L × 25%) + T, where:
- L is the whole fee for service (e.g. letting fee) payable and/or paid to the Agent User, their associate, employer and/or related corporation, including any and all consumption taxes (e.g. GST or VAT) and not including marketing or other costs reimbursed by the Owner User upon any letting of the property;
- T is the cumulative rate of any and all consumption taxes we must pay to the relevant taxation and/or revenue authority multiplied by (L × 25%)
to be paid to us by the Agent User, their associate, employer and/or related corporation upon any letting of the property.
For example, if the agent's letting fee is 1 week of rent plus GST and the owner's property in Australia where the GST rate is 10% is rented for $500 per week then our fee is $550 × 25% + $25 = $151.25.
For example, if the agent's letting fee is 1 month of rent plus GST and the owner's property in New Zealand where the GST rate is 15% is rented for $5000 per month then our fee is $5750 × 25% + $187.50 = $1,653.13.

You acknowledge that any estimate of the selling price or rent of your property from an Agent User is:
-
an opinion only;
-

-
based on the particular locality of the property;
