2. How the Site works and overview of the Terms
2.1 Functionality
The Site is an online platform with 2 main functions. The Site is for real estate sales and real estate developments located in Australia only.
2.2 Listing functionality
The first main function is for sellers of real estate (whether an individual or individuals, companies, partnerships, unincorporated associations or other legal bodies including property developers) (Sellers) to market their real estate and for buyers of real estate (Buyers) to submit offers, subject to contract. Sellers and Buyers do not enter into a binding agreement to sell and purchase the real estate on the Site. If a Seller wishes to proceed with the Buyer, the Seller and the Buyer must enter into a contract for sale for the real estate outside of the Site. A binding agreement will only be formed if the Buyer and Seller enter into a separate written contract for sale.
Airlisting Sale Fee: If you are a Seller, you must pay us the Airlisting Sale Fee once the sale of the real estate you have listed on the Site settles or completes (or in the case of off-the plan sales, when persons enter into a contract for sale of the real estate). It is payable for any sale to what we call a "Site Connected Buyer", which includes not only other Members but persons on whose behalf they act or persons connected with a Member. It also applies to what we call a "Site Connected Sale" . Please review our Fee Policy for a more detailed explanation. As a Seller, you should not list your real estate on the Site, if you do not agree to pay this Airlisting Sale Fee.
2.3 AirPropertyDeveloper or AirPD
Once launched, the second main function of the Site is to provide a platform for property developers (Property Developers) to store documents and other information for a real estate development on a logically separated part of the Site (Designated Zone) and use the functionality of the Site to manage their real estate projects at any stage from feasibility studies to completion.
Property Developers may authorise construction or fit-out contractors, architects, surveyors, sales agents, and other persons contracting with property developers (AirPD Authorised Organisations) to access the Property Developer's Designated Zone area on the Site. Authorised Organisations must register as Members before they use the Site.
Airlisting Subscription Fee: If you are a Property Developer using AirPropertyDeveloper (also known as AirPD), you will be required to pay the Airlisting Subscription Fee that aligns with your chosen subscription. The Subscription Fee is charged monthly per project which uses AirPropertyDeveloper. Please review our Fee Policy for a more detailed explanation. As a Property Developer, you should not use the AirPropertyDeveloper or AirPD if you do not agree to pay this Airlisting Subscription Fee.
2.4 Airlisting's role
Airlisting provides the Site as a marketplace for Sellers to market real estate and for Sellers and Buyers to deal directly with each other and once AirPropertyDeveloper is launched, for Property Developers to manage their projects on the Site. In providing the Site Airlisting is not providing the services of a real estate agent or an auctioneer, and is not licensed to act as one in any State or Territory. Airlisting does not act as an agent for Sellers or Buyers, does not conduct an auction and does not sell or buy or negotiate real estate on the Site.
The Site also enables Sellers to buy certain products and services from suppliers such as property valuers, photographers, sign manufacturers and solicitors who are registered to market their products and services on the Site (Suppliers). These Suppliers are not part of Airlisting. If a Seller buys a product or service from a Supplier, the Seller is entering into a separate agreement with that Supplier.
Any messages and associated content sent through or uploaded to the Site and any images or other content displayed on the Site is called Content.
2.5 Overview of the Terms
To help you understand our Terms they are divided into different parts.
- (a) Terms of use – these apply to all users and also include terms that apply to Sellers, Buyers and users of AirPropertyDeveloper.
- (b) Privacy Policy – this explains how we collect and handle personal information and includes some obligations on you, when you provide personal information or use personal information collected from the Site.
- (c) Fee Policy – this provides information on our current fees for using the Site and Suppliers’ fees.
- (d) Supplier Policy – this covers terms relating to Suppliers such as property valuers, photographers, sign manufacturers and solicitors, who offer to sell to Sellers products and services through the Site and Sellers' use of these Suppliers.
- (e) Refunds and complaints policy – this explains how we manage refunds and complaints.
2.6 Changes to the Terms and Fees
- (a) We may change the Terms from time to time by posting an updated version on the Site or by notifying you, or both. Your continuing use of the Site is your agreement to these Terms.
- (b) If you are a Member, if we make changes to the Terms (other than our fees), which are adverse to you, we will give you not less than 30days' prior written notice of the change by sending a notice to your registered email address, unless we are making the change to comply with law or changes to GST. In this case, we will endeavour to provide you with prior written notice of the change to your registered email address. Terms applying to changes to fees are set out in the Fee Policy.
- (c) As set out in clause 3.7 you may terminate your use of this Site or a subscription at any time for convenience, including if we propose to change the Terms and you do not wish to be subject to the new changed Terms.
- (d) If you are a Member who is a Property Developer who has subscribed to AirPropertyDeveloper, and you terminate your subscription as a result of our proposed adverse changes to the Terms relating to AirPropertyDeveloper during a month prior to the proposed changes to the Terms taking effect, the change in Terms to AirPropertyDeveloper will not take effect until the end of your current monthly subscription during which the Terms would otherwise change.
- (e) In some instances, where you are a Seller, we may provide a service associated with your order of products or services from a Supplier (please see clause 3.5 below). A change to our Terms which are adverse to you, will not apply to such a service connected with a product or service, which you have ordered from a Supplier, if the Supplier has accepted your order before the change in Terms.
3. Terms that apply to all users
3.1 General users, Members and Suppliers
- (a) A person may browse the Site without registering, but will only have access to limited functionality.
- (b) To become a Seller or Buyer, or both, you must register on the Site [hyperlink to registration?]. You may register yourself directly. In addition, where you are not a current Member and request information on real estate marketed on the Site from us, we may create a proposed membership for you using the details you have sent us, which you may then at your discretion accept, so that you can access the information you were after. Membership for access to the listing functionality on the Site is free, although certain fees apply to different activities on the Site including if you are a Seller and list real estate on the Site. You must not transfer your membership to another person. You must be 18 years of age or older to register on the Site.
- (c) If you are a property developer and wish to use AirPropertyDeveloper once it is launched, you must register on the Site. AirPropertyDeveloper is subject to a subscription fee. AirPD Authorised Organisations must also register on the Site to access a Property Developer's Designated Zone.
- (d) An individual may register on behalf of a company, partnership, unincorporated association or other legal body (Enterprise Member). For example, an individual may register on behalf of a company that is a property developer. In this case, the Enterprise Member is the Member, and the individual registering is acting on behalf of that legal person. Enterprise Members may have multiple individuals who are registered to use the Site. Each such individual must have the authority to act on behalf of the Enterprise Member. By registering on behalf of the Enterprise Member such individual represents to us that they have (and for as long as they are representing the Enterprise Member on the Site, will have) the requisite authority to act on behalf of the Enterprise Member. The Enterprise Member will be responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of its employees and other individuals acting or purporting to act on its behalf.
- (e) An individual, who is a Member or an Enterprise Member may act as an agent on behalf of another individual or person, for example to sell a property on behalf of another individual or person or to place an offer on behalf of another individual or person. If you act as an agent you must have and represent that you have the authority to do so and you must have all necessary licences and authorisations, if required in law to act on behalf of another individual or person.
- (f) To become a Supplier you must enter into a separate agreement with Airlisting. Please contact hello@airlisting.com to become a Supplier.
- (g) The provision of the registration facility and any listed services is not an offer by us to provide the Site including a related service. An agreement is only entered into between you and Airlisting, when Airlisting sends you a confirmation that it has accepted your membership of the Site or your application or order for any part of the Site, including a related service.
3.2 Collection and use of personal information
We may collect personal information about users of the Site who are individuals and about personal information of other individuals provided by users of the Site.

3.5 Our responsibilities and limitations to our responsibilities
We will provide the Site with reasonable skill and care. We will use our reasonable endeavours to make the Site available for access through the Internet. The Site includes functionality to market real estate and interact with potential Buyers and to interact with Suppliers. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that information we provide on the Site is materially accurate and complete.
When you order products and services from Suppliers through the Site, we may separately provide you with services to assist in the ordering process or your listing. By way of example, if as a Seller you order photographs for your listing or a valuation, we may receive the photos or valuation and use them to create a draft listing for you for your approval.
There are however, a number of limitations to the Site, including our associated services, which you should be aware of and we exclude responsibility for them and we exclude any implied warranties, conditions or other terms associated with them. Of course, none of these exclusions and limitations exclude or limit any consumer guarantees you may have under Australian consumer law.

We are not liable for the acts or omission of Sellers, Buyers or other users of the Site.

We will notify you prior to the suspension or as soon as reasonably practicable after that.

You are not entitled to any refund of any of our fees except for any circumstances specified (if any) in our Refunds and Complaints Policy and any refund of Supplier's fees is subject to your agreement with a Supplier and their refund policy.
- (2) If you are a Seller, we will give you not less than 30 days' prior written notice of termination for convenience.
- (3) In addition if you are a Seller and we provide a service associated with your order of products or service from a Supplier (please see clause 3.5 above), we will not terminate such a service to you under this clause 3.7(e) if we have already agreed to provide that service, unless we refund you the Administration Fee payable for that service and arrange for the Supplier to refund its fee for that product or service.

- (3) In addition, if you were a Seller you must also still pay the Airlisting Sale Fee to us on any real estate listed on the Site in accordance with our Fee Policy, even if you are no longer a Member and even if the sale occurs after termination, unless you have lawfully terminated your use of listing functionality for our breach of these Terms associated with that listing. This is because the Airlisting Sale Fee is based on whether you have undertaken a sale connected with your use of the Site and therefore whether you have benefited from use of the Site, even when the sale occurs after termination.

- (a) Australian consumer law: If you are a consumer under Australian consumer law, you are entitled to consumer guarantees. This clause 3.8(a) only applies to any of our goods or services, which are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption.

- (b) Other liability: For liability, other than our liability under consumer guarantees, and other than for our fraud, we exclude and cap our liability under or in connection with the Terms and the Site, whether that liability arises from our breach of contract, negligence or otherwise, as follows. We exclude liability for: loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business and loss of opportunity (including relating to the sale or purchase of real estate); loss of data, business interruption and loss of anticipated savings; and indirect or consequential loss.

4. Seller, Buyer and Property Developer terms
4.1 Seller rules
If you are a Seller you must comply with certain obligations.
- (a) You must have the legal right to sell any real estate listed by you on the Site or must have the authority to act on behalf of another person who has the legal right to sell the real estate listed by you on the Site, or both.
- (b) The real estate must be located in Australia.
- (c) You must obtain a valuation from a Supplier, which is a valuer or any other qualified valuer before you market the real estate on the Site. If however, you are a property developer, selling off-the plan or selling near-complete or multiple apartments, you may instead provide details of how you determined the sales price and provide information to Airlisting to support that price, if requested by Airlisting.
- (d) By listing your property on our Site, you acknowledge that you are in a position to proceed with a sale with a particular Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable if an offer for your listed real estate is accepted, subject to contract. To facilitate this, you must have prepared a form of contract for sale for the real estate and have identified your legal representative or licensed conveyancer (if you are using one) and you must upload on to the Site available for other users, a copy of the proposed contract to us (as confirmation that you are ‘sale ready’), before your property will be listed to the public.
- (e) You must include all Content about the real estate as required by any mandatory fields on the Site.
- (f) You must provide a Buyer with the right to inspect the real estate.
- (g) You may withdraw real estate at any time from the Site, but you must still pay the Airlisting Sale Fee to us on any real estate marketed on the Site where a sale of the real estate settles or completes (or in the case of off-the-plan sales, where persons enter into a contract for sale) after you withdraw as described further in our Fee Policy.
- (h) Once the real estate has been sold, you may keep the real estate on the Site, but you must use the functionality on the Site to mark and display that it has been sold.
- (i) We may remove real estate from the Site in the following circumstances:
- (1) if the real estate is no longer for sale;
- (2) if your account has been inactive for 6 months;
- (3) if we reasonably consider that you are not genuinely interested in selling the real estate you list; or
- (4) if the real estate has been on the Site for longer than 12 months without a sale.
We will send a notice to your registered email address prior to removing your real estate. You may contact us at hello@airlisting.com if you have a query associated with our removal or proposed removal of your real estate.
4.2 More on valuations
- (a) The valuation you use must be no older than 30 days, or within its validity period as stated by the qualified valuer who performed the valuation at the time of listing. If you use a valuer other than a Supplier, you must upload a copy of the valuation on to the Site.
- (b) The reason we require you to have a valuation in order to market your real estate on the Site is so that you have an understanding what your real estate is potentially worth before listing. You will remember that this Site operates without the services of a real estate agent to assist a Seller in determining the appropriate price for its real estate.
- (c) You can choose whether or not the valuation amount is visible to Buyers. This is done when editing your listing in the "listing price" section of your listing. The Site provides information to Buyers to inform them whether a Seller has used the valuation to inform the list price. If you use the valuation amount to inform your list price (i.e. offers over “valuation price”), a green tick will appear in your listing on the Site. This is to provide some useful guidance to Buyers as to the approximate price of the real estate.
- (d) If you use a property valuer that is a Supplier, you authorise us to receive a copy of the valuation direct from the Supplier, and we are entitled to receive the valuation before you receive it, so that we can prepare your draft listing for you.
4.3 How your real estate is marketed
- (a) Once a Seller has completed all mandatory fields for a Site and submitted the real estate, it will be displayed on the Site for sale.
- (b) You may also opt-in to receive off-market offers from Buyers who are Approved Buyers' Agents (as described below). If you opt-in for this service, we will make available your draft listing through the Site to Approved Buyers' Agents, in the same format that we send the draft listing to you following receipt of your valuation, except that the Approved Buyers' Agents will not be able to view your valuation report. Approved Buyers' Agents will be able to identify your valuation price by the list price returned to you through your draft listing. Approved Buyers' Agents may request private inspections or make an offer, subject to contract. You are not required to respond to or accept any offers (subject to contract).
4.4 Buyer rules
If you are a Buyer you must comply with certain obligations.
- (a) You must have the legal power and capacity to enter into a contract of sale for any real estate or you must have the authority to act on behalf of another person who has the legal power and capacity to enter into a contract of sale for any real estate, or both.
- (b) Any dealings you have on this Site must be in good faith and we may suspend or terminate your use of the Site, if we consider you are not acting in good faith including if you make below market offers in bad faith.
- (c) Buyers can nominate their purchasing power on the Site.

2 Airlisting Sale Fee payable by Seller
- What is the Airlisting sale fee?
A Seller must pay us a fee we call Airlisting Sale Fee in certain circumstances described below. The Airlisting Sale Fee is set out in the Fees Table part of this Fee Policy.
- When is the sale fee payable?
- Unless the Seller is selling off-the plan, as described in clause 2.2(a), the Airlisting Sale Fee is payable by a Seller if you, or the person on whose behalf you are marketing the real estate for on the Site, or both Settle the Sale with any Site Connected Buyer and the Sale is Connected with the Site. This is called a Standard Sale.

This is called an Off-the Plan Sale.
- Settle the Sale. This means the sale of the real estate has settled or completed. Payment is due at this time. It can be organised to occur through the settlement process if you are using a law firm, which is Supplier under the Site and you have instructed them to make such payment.
Site Connected Buyer. This means a person who buys the real estate and that person is any of the following:
- a Member or was a Member;
- a person for whom a Member is or was acting as agent when using the Site (including customers of a buyer's agent and relatives and personal friends); and

The sale fee is payable by the Seller who is or was the Member and whether you are still a Member or not. When we refer to persons in the Terms we mean any individual, company, partnership, unincorporated association or other legal body.
- Date of payment
For a Standard Sale, a Seller must pay us the Airlisting Sale Fee on the date you settle or complete. For an Off-the Plan Sale, a Seller must pay us the Airlisting Sale Fee on the date the legally binding contract for sale is entered into. It is the Seller who is the Member of the Site, who has the contractual obligation to pay us the Airlisting Sale Fee.
- How to make payment
You authorise us to debit your Account for the Airlisting Sale Fee when due and you may also arrange for a third party to pay us on your behalf.
If a Seller is acting on their own behalf in connection with the sale, the Seller must instruct their solicitor or licensed conveyancer or other person who receives settlement funds (where they are received) to make payment direct to us for the Airlisting Sale Fee. If a Seller is acting on behalf of other persons in connection with the sale, and wishes the Airlisting Sale Fee or other fees to paid from the settlement funds, the Seller must procure that the persons selling the real estate instruct their solicitor or licensed conveyancer or other person who receives settlement funds (where they are received) to make payment direct to us for the Airlisting Sale Fee. The Seller also authorises us to contact those persons to arrange payment.
You may also make payment by other means.
- How do we know when the Airlisting Sale Fee is due?
For a Standard Sale, you have an obligation to inform us when you settle or complete a sale . For an Off-the Plan Sale, you have an obligation to inform us when you enter into a contract for sale. You must also authorise any solicitor or licensed conveyancer or other person to inform us. We also may identify this has occurred from any Content you provide to the Site or from public records for real estate transactions.
3 Subscription Fee for AirPropertyDeveloper
- What is the Airlisting Subscription Fee?
A Property Developer must pay a fee we call the Subscription Fee for use of the service on the Site called AirPropertyDeveloper or AirPD.
- When is the Subscription Fee payable?
The Subscription Fee is a monthly fee, payable monthly in advance prior to the commencement of the relevant month. The Subscription Fee varies depending on the price at the time the Property Developer agreed to its subscription (subject to changes in accordance with these Terms) and is calculated per real estate project. Airlisting may offer a free trial for a specified period from time to time. However once the free trial has completed, a Property Developer must pay the Subscription Fee.
4 Airlisting Administration Fees for Suppliers.
- Where stated on the Site, Airlisting may charge Sellers a fee we call the Administration Fee, when Sellers purchase products and services from Suppliers on the Site.
- The Administration Fee is a once-off fee for Airlisting's administration and associated services in connection with an order of products and services from Suppliers. By way of example:
- if you order a valuation from a Supplier, we charge an administration fee for providing the marketplace for you to order the valuation and administration associated with the order and for our services to prepare a draft listing for you based on the valuation; and
- if you order a physical sign for installation outside your real estate, we will charge you an administration fee for providing the marketplace for you to order the sign and administration associated with the order and submitting files through the relevant Supplier’s ordering system or process.
5 Supplier Fees
- Any fees payable to Suppliers are not fees payable to Airlisting, but fees payable to Suppliers. If you purchase products and services from Suppliers, you authorise us to deduct the fee from your Account and pay it to the Supplier.
- You are not obliged to use any of the Suppliers. If you do use one of the Suppliers, the Fee that they may charge you, will be the fee agreed between you and the Supplier.
- Supplier's fees may vary depending on the products and services, you are purchasing from them. For example, the valuation fee charged by valuers who are Suppliers is dependent on the value of the real estate.
- To assist Sellers, Suppliers have committed to us, not to charge Sellers more than the maximum fee set out in our Fee Policy from time to time. If a Supplier charges you or wishes to charge you more than these maximum fees, please notify us immediately.
- At our election we may agree with a Seller to pay a Supplier's fee for you in return for you reimbursing us that amount (and you must reimburse us that amount) on the earlier of the following dates:
- the date you are obliged to pay the Airlisting Sale Fee;
- the date the listing on the Site is terminated;
- the date the Seller's membership of the Site as a Seller terminates; and
- 60 days after the date you ordered the product or service.
6 Commission payable by real estate developers to Buyers
- Some Enterprise Members who are real estate developers and Sellers may market real estate at a discount or may offer to pay an amount of the sale price back to a Buyer.
- If this occurs, this is an arrangement directly between you and any real estate developer.
7 Changes to Fees
- Airlisting fees
- We may make changes to the Airlisting fees from time to time by updating the table of fees in this Fee Policy.
- The Airlisting Sale Fee that was stated on the day you first listed your real estate is the Airlisting Sale Fee that applies to the sale of that real estate regardless of the date you settle or complete the sale (for a Standard Sale) or enter into legally binding contract for sale of the real estate (for Off-the-Plan Sale). When you list a specific real estate, we will not change the Airlisting Sale Fee that was in place at the time that you first listed that real estate. In this way you know the Airlisting Sale Fee that will apply at the time you list and subsequent changes to the Airlisting Sale Fee will only apply to your new listings.
- If we change our Administration Fee for orders from Suppliers, the change will only apply to future purchases of products and services from a Supplier, not an existing purchase.
- We will give you not less than 30 days' notice to your registered email address if there are any changes to the Subscription Fees for AirPropertyDeveloper.
- Supplier Fees
The maximum fees specified in this policy for Suppliers may change at any time, but they will only apply to future purchases of products and services from a Supplier, not an existing purchase.

Supplier Policy
1 Overview of Suppliers
The Site also enables Sellers to buy certain products and services from suppliers such as property valuers, signage manufacturers, photographers and solicitors who are registered to market their products and services on the Site (Suppliers).
These Suppliers are not part of Airlisting.
If a Seller buys a product or service from a Supplier, the Seller is entering into a separate agreement with that Supplier.
You are not required to buy any product or service from a Supplier and you may purchase equivalent products or services from any other person.
We may vary categories of Suppliers from time to time.
Some Suppliers may only provide their products or services for real estate located in specific areas.
Many of the products and services you purchase on the Site may be used for purposes unrelated to the Site. For example, a valuation report, photographs, building and pest reports and videos of your real estate may be used in connection with your listing on the Site and otherwise in connection with the sale of your real estate.
2 Types of Suppliers
The types of Suppliers will vary from time to time. Suppliers may include.
- Valuers: licensed valuers who can value your real estate.
- Solicitors and licensed conveyancers: who can act for you in connection with the sale or purchase.

Please note that these individuals may not be licensed real estate agents. You cannot ask them to act on your behalf or discuss or represent the property.
