  5. The QTC Link Access Request Form is in addition to and not in substitution to any other notice provided to QTC concerning the operations on an account held by the Client. Amendments to other authorities that the Client may have with QTC now or in the future shall not affect the authority granted under the QTC Link Access Request Form which is to continue in full force and effect until QTC receives a written notice of cancellation of that authority by the Client.

  6. QTC is authorised to treat any transaction effected through QTC Link by a user named in the QTC Link Form within that user’s nominated level of access, on the Client’s accounts as a transaction that is to be undertaken with the Client’s authority without QTC being required to verify the Client’s authority in any case.

  7. Each authorised signatory listed in the Specimen Signatures Form provided by the Client represents and warrants to QTC that:

    1. the specimen signature provided is genuine and that QTC is entitled to rely on that signature for the purpose of effecting transactions initiated through QTC Link, and

    2. they are duly authorised to execute transactions as indicated on behalf of the Client.

  8. QTC is not required to check the accuracy of any instructions, requests or notifications received or sent through QTC Link on the Client’s accounts.

  9. It is the Client's responsibility to periodically review each user’s level of access to QTC Link and its relevant authorised signatories under the Specimen Signatures Form and confirm that the designated level of access is appropriate and that the authorised signatories provided to QTC are up to date. The Client can check this level of access and its authorised signatories through QTC Link. If the designated level of access for a user or an authorised signatory needs to be changed, the Client must provide QTC with an updated QTC Link Access Request Form and/or a Specimen Signatures Form.

  10. There are inherent risks with transmitting information across the internet and:

    1. QTC is released from all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, costs and demands that may be made, brought or incurred by or against QTC arising from any unauthorised or incorrect instructions or requests to effect transactions via QTC Link on the Client’s account(s) in the manner specified in the QTC Link Access Request Form; and

    2. QTC is not responsible for any expense, damage, loss or cost that may be incurred by the Client as a result of any unauthorised access by any person to the Client’s statements or any other information made available to the Client through QTC Link.

  12. To the extent permitted by law, neither QTC nor any of its employees, contractors, servant or agents accept any responsibility and liability whatsoever for any expense, damage, claim, cause of action, loss or costs arise out, or in connection with any act, omission or negligence of QTC, its employees, contractors, servants or agents.

  13. The Client confirms that each user named in the QTC Link Access Form has been made aware that any access to the account(s) is subject to these Terms of Use as updated by QTC from time to time and the terms and conditions of any facilities made available to the Client by QTC.

    1. that the individual’s Personal Information has been collected by QTC for the purpose of providing access to QTC Link, to manage and administer the services, and to protect against fraud, and

    2. in accordance with QTC’s Privacy Statement on our website www.qtc.com.au. The Privacy Statement includes information as to how you can access and/or amend personal information we hold about you.

  16. If the terms of any agreement between the Client and QTC specify a contrary method of initiating transactions on any account of the Client with QTC, these Terms of Use prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

  17. The Client Administrator is the person that the Client appoints and authorises to maintain the Client’s QTC Link account, including in relation to the following:

    2. Amendment or cancelation of existing authorised signatories

    3. Completion of access profile and permission levels for each user (e.g. what function the nominated signatory is authorised to perform such as to create a payment, authorise a payment or to view financial information)

  18. These are important authorisations and the Client acknowledges that the Client Administrator is permitted to perform the above actions singly. QTC will rely on the information in the Client’s QTC Link account and will not be required to verify the directions and details provided by the Client Administrator.
