Pad - Terms

1. About Pad
   Pad is an online property marketplace that allows users to list, browse, and enquire about properties for sale across Australia. Pad is not a licensed real estate agent and does not act as an agent, broker, or representative for any party.

   All transactions and negotiations occur directly between buyers and sellers. Enquiries are made directly via the seller's personal email address — Pad does not provide an in-app messaging or chat service.

   
   

2. Eligibility
   You must be at least 18 years of age to use Pad. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

   
   

3. Account Registration
   To access certain features of Pad, you must create an account. You agree to:
   Provide accurate and complete information during registration
   Keep your account credentials secure and confidential
   Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account

   Provide accurate, truthful, and complete information about the property
   Not include misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent content
   Not list properties that are subject to legal disputes without disclosure

5. Fees and Payments
   Pad offers two listing plans:

   Monthly Plan — $99/month A recurring monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial period. After the trial, your payment method will be charged $99/month. You may cancel at any time and your listing will remain active until the end of the current billing period.

   Annual Plan — $450/year A one-time annual payment giving you 12 months of listing visibility. At the end of the 12-month period, you will need to renew to keep your listing active.

   First 100 Listings Free The first 100 listings on Pad are completely free using the promo code LAUNCHPAD at checkout on the annual plan. This offer is limited to one redemption per user and is subject to availability.

   All payments are processed securely through Stripe. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service available at stripe.com/legal.

   If payment fails or a subscription lapses, your listing will be automatically removed from the map until payment is resolved.

   
   

6. Refunds

   Due to the nature of digital listing services, Pad does not offer refunds on completed payments except where required by Australian Consumer Law.

   Monthly Plan — You may cancel at any time. No refund will be issued for the current billing period. Your listing will remain active until the end of the paid period.

   Annual Plan — Annual payments are non-refundable except where required by law. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under Australian Consumer Law, please contact us at sy.padapp@gmail.com.

   Free Trial — If you cancel during the 7-day free trial period on the monthly plan, you will not be charged.
