Slate Accounts Service Terms and Conditions

Services

1. The Services referred to in these terms and conditions are those described in our proposal.

2. As part of the provision of the Services, the Client will, from the Commencement Date, appoint Slate as the Client’s BAS agent with authority to access the Client’s GST and PAYG accounts at the Australian Taxation Office.

3. In circumstances where Slate is providing Services relating to a Client’s payroll function, the Client acknowledges and agrees that the Client is
responsible for determining actual pay rates and other benefits payable under statute or industrial awards or agreements to specific individuals engaged or employed by the Client unless Slate has agreed otherwise in writing. That is, Slate will perform the payroll function based on rates of
pay advised by the Client unless the parties agree in writing that the scope of the Services includes professional advice from Slate as to applicable
rate of pay under statute or industrial awards and applicable benefits and classifications under industrial awards.

4. The Client acknowledges and agrees that in circumstances where Slate prepares bank payments as part of the provision of the Services, the Client must check, approve and authorise the payments prior to any payments being made. The client acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for maintaining all payment review and authorisation controls. The Client agrees that it will not provide Slate with Bank Access that allows
transactions to be authorised for payment without first agreeing on appropriate and workable controls in writing with Slate Accounts.

5. For the purposes of this Agreement Bank Access means the provision of non-approving access to Slate to the Client’s bank accounts.

6. In providing the Services Slate will check and verify some source documents, but unless we agree on specific processes in writing, the Services do not include verifying that the Client has a source document to support each transaction.

7. The Client agrees to provide Slate with logins and passwords to enable Slate to perform the Services. The Client authorises Slate to share the Client’s logins and passwords with its staff and contractors if required for the provisions of the Services. When required, Slate shares the
information securely using the encrypted password sharing service LastPass.

Fees, invoicing and payment

1. In consideration of Slate providing the Services, the Client agrees to pay the following fees:

1. fixed recurring fees outlined in our proposal, payable by the Client on the 1st of the month and paid by automatic direct debit;

2. fees for time billed, out of scope or project invoices. These invoices are prepared at the beginning of each month for Services provided in the prior month, regardless of the Client’s specific service or reporting cycle. These invoices are due for payment by direct debit 7 days from the date of the invoice;

3. fees for software costs where applicable. These fees are payable by the Client within 7 days of receipt of a valid tax invoice, (together “the Fees”).

2. The Client acknowledges and agrees that Slate will pass on administration or collections costs if invoices are paid late by the Client.

3. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the cost of accounting or other add-on software will be invoiced separately by Slate Accounts in addition to the proposed fees for the Services, or charged directly by the software provider.

4. Unless the parties have agreed on a fixed fee, Slate charges for travel time for work sessions at clients’ sites that are less than four hours in duration. We can advise you if we think travel will be required to provide our Services.

5. Slate may review and increase its pricing annually.

Confidentiality

Slate will not disclose confidential information we learn about Client’s business. All Slate personnel who work on your accounts agree to maintain theconfidentiality of your information and have signed confidentiality agreements to that effect with Slate.

Conflict of interest

Slate may now or in the future work with some other businesses in Client’s industry. Please raise this with us if you would like to discuss whether any
possible conflicts of interest exist and how these could be managed.
