This document sets out the terms on which a natural person (you or your) agrees to use the service provided by Harmoney Limited (Harmoney) to borrow money on a peer-to-peer basis from other persons through the Trustee (as defined below).

By accepting these terms, an agreement is formed between you, Harmoney, and the Trustee.

Introduction

1. This agreement sets out the terms on which you are able to access and use the Service. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and any other terms set out on the Website, these terms will prevail (except as expressly contemplated by these terms).

2. You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) Harmoney provides the Service under a licence which Harmoney holds pursuant to the FMCA;
(b) you may have only one Loan outstanding at any time, with a Loan Amount of not more than $35,000 (excluding the Origination Fee in relation to that Loan); and
(c) you may not borrow more than $2 million using the Service in any 12 month period.

3. In providing the Service, Harmoney will (and will procure that its Related Companies who provide any aspect of the Service will):
(a) exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a prudent licensee for the Service would exercise in the same circumstances; and
(b) if any aspect of the Service is contracted out, take all reasonable steps to:
(i) ensure that those functions are performed in the same manner, and are subject to the same duties and restrictions, as if Harmoney were performing them directly; and
(ii) monitor the performance of those functions.

Co-Borrowers

4. If your spouse or partner has registered as a Borrower (Primary Borrower) and has asked you to register as a co-borrower, or vice versa, then:
(a) you will each have the same rights and obligations under this agreement;
(b) you consent to Harmoney providing your personal information to the other of you; and
(c) Harmoney will be entitled to accept instructions from either of you (without reference to the other) in respect of your rights and obligations under this agreement.

Registration as a Borrower

5. In order to access and use the Service, you must register as a Borrower by completing the Borrower Application. Harmoney reserves the right not to register any person as a Borrower if that person has not completed the registration process to Harmoney’s satisfaction or does not meet Harmoney’s eligibility criteria.

6. Harmoney’s eligibility criteria for registering as a Borrower are:
(a) you must be a natural person (that is, not a company, partnership, incorporated society, trust, or other legal entity);
(b) you must be a New Zealand resident, which Harmoney will verify through you having a New Zealand residential address and a bank account with a registered New Zealand bank;
(c) you must be 18 years of age or older when you register; and
(d) you must have an acceptable credit record, as determined by Harmoney at its discretion.

7. You acknowledge that Harmoney is required to implement its Fair Dealing Policy, which is set out on the Website, in respect of registering any person as a Borrower.

8. Harmoney may terminate your registration as a Borrower at any time at its absolute discretion by notice to you.

9. Harmoney may suspend your registration as a Borrower at any time by notice to you if Harmoney reasonably believes that you are not complying with the terms of this agreement or are otherwise not using the Service for its intended purpose.

10. You may terminate your registration as a Borrower at any time by notifying Harmoney through the Website or via 0800 HARMONEY or customer.services@harmoney.co.nz.

11. If your registration is terminated or suspended, this agreement will continue to apply in respect of any Loans and Loan Contracts to which you are a party when the termination or suspension takes effect.

12. Subject to clause 11, this agreement will apply to you for so long as you are registered as a Borrower.

Loan Process

13. If you want to take out a Loan using the Service, you must complete a Loan Application in which you nominate:
(a) the proposed Loan Amount;
(b) (if the Loan Application provides for this option) the lesser amount you agree to accept if the proposed Loan Amount is not reached by the end of the Listing Period;
(c) the Repayment Period; and
(d) whether the Loan will be a Secured Loan (and if so, the proposed Secured Assets).

The proposed Loan Amount and any lesser amount which you will accept must each be expressed as a multiple of $25. The amount you apply for will include an amount equivalent to the Origination Fee that you must pay Harmoney if you obtain the Loan.

14. As part of the Loan Application, you must provide Harmoney with details of your bank account with a registered bank in New Zealand, from which payments are to be made by you in respect of your Loan. By providing those details you agree to Harmoney establishing a direct debit authority against that bank account on the terms set out in the authority accompanying this agreement in relation to any amount payable by you to Harmoney or to the Trustee under this agreement or any Loan Contract.

15. If Harmoney approves your Loan Application for listing on the Website, it will assign a Credit Grade to your Loan Application which will state the maximum Loan Amount, the Repayment Period, and the Interest Rate applicable to that application. You may then select the Loan Amount and Repayment Period from the information provided by Harmoney. Following this selection, your Loan Application (together with those details, including the Loan Repayments) will comprise your Loan Listing for that Loan.

16. Your Loan Listing will be listed by Harmoney on its Website, for consideration by Investors, during the Listing Period. You may withdraw your Loan Listing at any time before the Loan Contract has been concluded (as set out in clause 18), by cancelling your Loan Listing on the Website.

17. If your Loan is Fully Funded before the Listing Period expires, Harmoney will:
(a) notify you of that fact; and
(b) on the Trustee's behalf, provide you with a Loan Disclosure setting out the key terms of the proposed Loan (as required by the CCCFA). For the purposes of section 35 of the CCCFA, you:
(i) nominate the email address specified in the Loan Application (or such other email address as you may notify to Harmoney) as the information system to which the Loan Disclosure may be sent; and
(ii) agree that the Loan Disclosure may be provided to you by sending you an electronic communication that allows the Loan Disclosure to be accessed from a website or by means of the Internet.
You should contact Harmoney if you are not clear as to any of the information set out in the Loan Disclosure.

Loan Contract

18. Immediately after Harmoney has provided the Loan Disclosure to you, a Loan Contract will come into existence under which the Trustee (who will be the lender of the Loan) will agree to advance the Loan Amount to you. The Loan Contract will be on the terms set out in Schedule 1 to this agreement. For the purposes of this agreement, the Loan Disclosure will be treated as provided to you on the day on which it is emailed to you or otherwise sent to you by electronic communication (within the meaning of section 35 of the CCCFA).

Settlement

19. Your Loan will be Settled before or on the next Business Day after Harmoney has provided you with the Loan Disclosure for it.

20. At Settlement, Harmoney will:
(a) collect the funds that make up the Loan Amount from the Participating Investors, and deposit the Loan Amount in the Advance Account; and
(b) acting at the direction of the Trustee, as authorised by you:
(i) deduct the Origination Fee from the Loan Amount, and transfer it to Harmoney's own account (in satisfaction of your obligation to pay that Origination Fee to Harmoney); and
(ii) transfer the balance of the Loan Amount to your Nominated Account.

Fees payable by You

21. You must pay Harmoney an Origination Fee for each Loan made to you using the Service. The Origination Fee will be calculated at Harmoney's prevailing rate (as notified on the Website when the relevant Loan Settles) and deducted on Settlement.

22. You must pay Harmoney such other fees as Harmoney may from time to time charge in providing the Service (being the Borrower Fees), at the prevailing rate, as specified on the Website from time to time. You must make the payment to the Collections Account or as otherwise notified by Harmoney. Harmoney may change the types of Borrower Fees it charges and the amounts of the various types of Borrower Fees (or the rates at which they are calculated) at any time, and such changes will come into effect from a date specified on the Website. However, any new type of Borrower Fee or change in the amount or rate of a Borrower Fee will not apply in respect of a Loan Contract made before that change came into effect.

Secured Loan

23. You may offer an approved asset as security for a Loan. The types of assets that are approved by Harmoney for use as security will be listed on the Website. This asset must be owned by you, be in your name only, and have no other security interests over it. Harmoney reserves the right to determine whether the asset offered is adequate or suitable to be offered as security for the proposed Loan.

Repayments

24. You must pay the Loan Repayments and all other amounts required to be paid by you under a Loan Contract to the Collections Account on the due date.

Collection Services

25. The Trustee has appointed Harmoney to provide (itself or through a third party) collection and enforcement services (collectively, Collection Services) in respect of your Loans. The Collection Services include:
(a) monitoring all payment obligations under each Loan Contract;
(b) taking appropriate steps to contact you for payment arrears;
(c) taking appropriate recovery action where there is a payment default; and
(d) enforcing the security (if any) for the Loan.

26. Harmoney will be entitled to process additional direct debit payments to cover any collection fees payable by you.

Warranties

27. You warrant to Harmoney that:
(a) all information you provide to Harmoney is true, accurate, and complete, and there is no information which has not been provided which would impact on Harmoney’s decision to register you as a Borrower or to make a Loan Listing available; and
(b) you will provide Harmoney with updated information in respect of any Loan Listing if any of your circumstances have changed from the time you submitted your Borrower Application.

Liability

28. You acknowledge and agree, in respect of Harmoney, each Related Company of Harmoney, and the Trustee, and their respective employees, directors, officers, agents, and contractors (together, relevant persons) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, that:
(a) none of the relevant persons will be liable in respect of:
(i) any failure to provide the Service or otherwise to comply with this agreement, if the failure or non-compliance is caused by events beyond its reasonable control; or
(ii) to achieve any funding in respect of any Loan Listing;
(b) the liability of any relevant person (if any) in relation to any Loan will be limited to the amount of the Origination Fee actually received by Harmoney for that Loan.

Nothing in this clause 28 or this agreement (except for clause 29) limits any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

This clause 28 is for the benefit of, and is enforceable by, each relevant person, in terms of the Contracts (Privity) Act 1986.

29. If you are in trade, and you acquire the Service in trade, all parties agree that:
(a) the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993; and
(b) sections 9, 12A, and 13 of the Fair Trading Act 1986,
will not apply to this agreement.

30. You acknowledge that you do not rely on Harmoney’s skill or judgment as to the suitability or otherwise of the Service for your specific needs, in terms of providing a service through which you can seek to have loans funded.

31. You acknowledge that the Website may not be available at all times and that neither Harmoney nor the Trustee will be liable to you for any loss of profit or opportunity (however described) arising from any inability to access the Website at any time.

Replacement of Trustee and Harmoney

32. Harmoney can in its discretion replace the Trustee with another entity it appoints to hold Loans as trustee for Participating Investors (and otherwise to act as trustee for Investors). Any such change will not affect your rights and obligations under this agreement. The replacement Trustee will have the same rights and obligations under this agreement as the Trustee it replaces, without further action being necessary.

33. If a Harmoney Servicer Default occurs, a back-up servicer will be appointed to carry out the role of Harmoney under this agreement. Any such appointment will not affect your rights and obligations under this agreement. The appointed back-up servicer from time to time will have the same rights as Harmoney did, without further action being necessary.

Communications and Disputes

34. Harmoney may provide you with communications in relation to the provision of the Service, including notices and disclosures, by mail or in an electronic form, including by email.

35. You must provide notices to Harmoney by mail (posted to its registered address) or by email to the email address below.

Phone: 0800 HARMONEY
Email: customer.services@harmoney.co.nz

37. Each of Harmoney and the Trustee is a member of the Financial Services Complaints Limited dispute resolution scheme. You may refer any dispute relating to the provision of the Service to that dispute resolution service, details of which are available at http://www.fscl.org.nz/.

38. The entries made in the accounts maintained by Harmoney (as principal or as the Trustee's agent, as the case may be) are, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which they relate.

Amendments to Agreement

39. Harmoney may modify this agreement, and the way in which it provides the Service, at any time by notice on the Website. You should check the notices section of the Website regularly. Any such modifications will apply from the date stated on the Website (Amendment Date).

40. If Schedule 1 is modified under clause 39, and:
(a) a Loan Listing for a Loan to you is placed on the Website before the Amendment Date; but
(b) the Loan Contract resulting from that Loan Listing is made on or after the Amendment Date,
that Loan Contract will be made on the terms of Schedule 1 as in force on the day when your Loan Listing was placed on the Website (ie not on the modified terms).

Assignment

41. You may not transfer or assign any of your rights or obligations under this agreement without Harmoney's prior written consent (which consent may be withheld at Harmoney’s absolute discretion).

Tax Matters

42. You will not be required to withhold or account to Inland Revenue for any RWT in relation to interest payments you make under the Loan. This is because the Trustee holds an RWT Exemption Certificate.

43. In certain circumstances where a Participating Investor is not resident in New Zealand for income tax purposes, you may be required to:
(a) withhold and account to Inland Revenue for NRWT; or
(b) pay AIL to Inland Revenue, in relation to interest payments you make under the Loan.
However, Harmoney (acting for the Trustee) will meet all NRWT or AIL obligations on your behalf from the Loan Repayments you make, immediately upon payment of the relevant interest into the Collections Account. For this purpose, you:
(i) authorise the Trustee to act on your behalf and to do all things necessary (including, where required, completing Inland Revenue registration forms and providing all necessary information about you to Inland Revenue) to meet any NRWT or AIL obligations on your interest payments;
(ii) authorise the Trustee to delegate its authority under clause 43(i) to Harmoney as its agent; and
(iii) agree to provide the Trustee (through Harmoney) with all necessary information (including your IRD number and any other relevant personal or tax-related information) for it to act effectively for the purposes described above.
You are not required to make any additional payment as a top-up for the NRWT or AIL deduction.

Anti-money Laundering Obligations

44. Harmoney, the Trustee, and certain persons who Participate or propose to Participate in Loans to you (Affected Investors) may have initial or ongoing customer due diligence and other obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (or equivalent legislation in other countries) and related regulatory directives or guidelines. You agree promptly on request by Harmoney to provide it with any information and documents that are reasonably required to enable Harmoney, the Trustee, or any Affected Investor to comply with those obligations. You authorise Harmoney and the Trustee to disclose any information or documents it holds about you (including any information or documents you provide to Harmoney under this clause 44) to any Affected Investor for this purpose.
