  (1) deliver to the Buyer each item the subject of a Seller Offer and a Buyer Acceptance.
  (2) pay to OfferMe the Advertising Fee set out in clause 3.4 below.

3.4 Advertising Fee

  (1) Advertising Fee means the set amount (see http://www.offerme.com.au/help_static/fee-structure.html) of the consideration agreed to be paid by a Buyer for each item that is the subject of a Buyer Acceptance.
  (2) The Seller must pay to OfferMe the Advertising Fee:
      (a) in Australian Dollars;
      (b) within 14 days of the date of OfferMe's invoice for the Advertising Fee; and
      (c) by either:
          (i) authorised credit card deduction; or
          (ii) direct transfer of funds to OfferMe's account.
  (3) If you authorise OfferMe to take payment from your credit card and OfferMe incurs any chargeback or other expense (Chargeback Expense) as a result of that transaction failing to be authorised by your card issuer, then you will be responsible for and must pay to OfferMe that Chargeback Expense within 14 days of the date of OfferMe's invoice for that Chargeback Expense.
  (4) Subject to clause 4, you are responsible for payment of all taxes and other charges associated with your payment of the Advertising Fee.
  (5) Without prejudice to clause 6.1, if you do not comply with this clause 3.4 OfferMe reserves the right to:
        (a) terminate your OfferMe Account; and
        (b) collect all money owing by you to OfferMe using any collection mechanism.

3.5 If you fail to pay an amount on the due date for payment, you must pay to OfferMe interest at the Default Rate on that amount, calculated and payable daily, computed from the due date until the amount is paid in full.

3.6 The Default Rate is (x+5)% per annum where x is the interest rate quoted by the Westpac Banking Corporation (Bank) as its Westpac Indicator Lending Rate (Published Rate) or, should there cease to be a Published Rate, the rate which the Bank designates as being an appropriate substitute for the Published Rate (Substitute Rate). A certificate signed by a manager or other officer of the Bank stating the Published Rate or the Substitute Rate at a particular date is conclusive evidence of the rate at the particular date.

4. GST

4.1 In this clause:

  (1) GST means GST as defined in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 as amended (GST Act) or any replacement or other relevant legislation and regulations;
  (2) words used in this clause which have a particular meaning in the GST law (as defined in the GST Act, and also including any applicable legislative determinations and Australian Taxation Office public rulings) have the same meaning, unless the context otherwise requires;
  (3) any reference to GST payable by a party includes any corresponding GST payable by the representative member of any GST group of which that party is a member; and
  (4) if the GST law treats part of a supply as a separate supply for the purpose of determining whether GST is payable on that part of the supply or for the purpose of determining the tax period to which that part of the supply is attributable, such part of the supply is to be treated as a separate supply.

4.2 Unless GST is expressly excluded, the consideration expressed to be payable under any other clause of this User Agreement for any supply made under or in connection with this User Agreement includes GST.

4.3 To the extent that any supply made under or in connection with this User Agreement is a taxable supply, the GST exclusive consideration otherwise payable for that supply is increased by an amount equal to that consideration multiplied by the rate at which GST is imposed in respect of the supply, and is payable at the same time.

4.4 You agree to do all things, including providing tax invoices and other documentation, that may be necessary or desirable to enable or assist OfferMe to claim any input tax credit, adjustment or refund in relation to any amount of GST paid or payable in respect of any supply made under or in connection with this User Agreement.

4.5 If a payment to you or OfferMe under this User Agreement is a payment by way of reimbursement or indemnity and is calculated by reference to the GST inclusive amount of a loss, cost or expense incurred by that party, then the payment is to be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit to which that party is entitled in respect of that loss, cost or expense before any adjustment is made for GST pursuant to clause 4.3.
