3. Your information and contacting you

Use and disclosure of your information

At Transurban Queensland, we take privacy seriously. We collect your personal information under this Agreement in order to operate our tolling system, to calculate and charge tolls when you travel on TQ tolled roads and compatible roads, and to manage your account and to improve our products and services (including by conducting surveys about your recent experiences). If we do not do this then you may not have a valid basis to travel on TQ tolled roads or compatible roads, and you may commit an offence if you do so.

We will share your information with service providers and partners who we work with in connection with our business, operators of compatible roads, government authorities (such as authorities responsible for the operation of roads and vehicle registration), and incident response and emergency services providers.

We will also collect, use and disclose your information for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy and our Credit Reporting Policy. Those documents provide further information about our management of your personal information more generally and we encourage you to read them carefully. In particular, those policies provide information about how you may seek access to or correction of your personal information, about how you can make a privacy complaint (and how we will deal with such complaints), and about any circumstances in which we may disclose your information outside Australia.
Contacting you

You agree to us contacting you via email, SMS or other means. We set out more information in our Privacy Policy.

You can opt-out or unsubscribe from receiving promotional communications by:
1. replying STOP to the communication, or following the unsubscribe link in the communication, if applicable; or
2. changing your account settings; or

You agree that these commercial electronic messages do not need to contain a functional unsubscribe facility and you will instead use one of the other above methods to unsubscribe.

When you unsubscribe, you will be unsubscribed only from the specific types or channels for receiving promotional communications (eg SMS or email) of the type responded to or specified. Unsubscribing will not stop other service related communications from us, such as administrative alerts in relation to your account and notifications of road closures.

You can access a copy of our Privacy Policy electronically at linkt.com.au/brisbane or by contacting us (see section 16 for our contact details).

4. Your Account

Applying for an account
You can apply for an account online. You can also apply for an account by completing an application form and returning it to us by mail.

All applications are subject to credit checks and approval. You acknowledge and agree to the additional credit terms set out on the application form or if you are applying online, at linkt.com.au/brisbane. If you cannot satisfy these requirements, we may refuse your application. We will notify you if this occurs.
Agreements for businesses

If the account is for a business, the person who accepts or signs these terms and conditions on behalf of the business represents that they are authorised to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the business.
When your account and this Agreement starts

This Agreement starts when your application to open your account has been assessed through our credit application process and is approved by us. We will notify you when this occurs and begin to charge tolls to your account from that time.

Linking vehicles to your account

You must give us the details (including the Purpose of Use, if required) of each vehicle that you want to link to your account. We will then link those vehicles to your account. You may have multiple linked vehicles on your account.

By linking a vehicle to your account, you confirm that you are the registered vehicle owner or that you have the permission of the registered vehicle owner to link the vehicle to your account. For all linked vehicles, you agree that you also consent, or have the consent of the registered vehicle owner, to us disclosing information to you about that vehicle’s use of TQ tolled roads or compatible roads.

For each vehicle that is linked to your account, you must inform us whether you want a tag for that linked vehicle. You may also choose not to have a tag. In this case, if a linked vehicle travels on TQ tolled roads or compatible roads and a tag is not detected, a video matching fee will be payable for each toll point on that trip in addition to the tolls. Also see section 7.1.

Provided your account is not suspended, you may add or remove linked vehicles on your account or request an additional tag. At any time, you may report a tag lost or stolen, or return a tag to us. When a tag is returned to us it will be removed from your account.

If you lose a tag and notify us of the lost tag, we will mark it lost so that you will not continue to be charged. We will also charge the tag non-return fee and will refund the fee if the tag is found again. The tag will not be removed from the account unless requested by you, or upon closure of the account.

Correct details

You must ensure that all the details on your account are correct at all times (including after a Registration Event).

In particular, you must ensure that the details of the linked vehicles on your account are correct. If the details for your linked vehicles recorded on our system are wrong, then you are responsible for updating those details either by:
1. correcting those details yourself by logging onto your account at linkt.com.au/brisbane, or
2. asking us to correct those details by calling our Customer Contact Centre.
If you sell or transfer a linked vehicle, you are also responsible for removing any tag installed in that linked vehicle. You remain responsible for all tolls, fees and charges incurred by that linked vehicle or tag, until you request it to be removed from your account.

After a Registration Event, if you do not update the details on your account, it may result in higher tolls being charged to your account, determined in accordance with section 5.1.
Incorrect details

If we don’t have the correct details for a linked vehicle (especially the licence plate details), then we may not be able to identify the vehicle as linked to your account when it travels on TQ tolled roads or compatible roads, and we will not be able to charge your account. If this occurs, unless an arrangement to pay that toll is made within three days of travel on TQ tolled roads, then the registered owner of the vehicle will receive a toll invoice from us (including a video matching fee and a toll invoice fee).

You must also ensure that all payments you make to us correctly identify you and your account.

If you make payments to us without correctly identifying yourself and the account the money is to be applied against, we will retain those funds in an unidentified monies account. If you do not contact us and properly identify your funds, they will be handled in accordance with the applicable unclaimed moneys laws.
Confirming your identity

You should record your account number and make sure you remember (and keep secure) your login details to access your account electronically at linkt.com.au/brisbane.

If you call us about your account, we will confirm your identity (and your authorisation to access the account) by asking you some questions.
Statements

You may view and download electronic statements, which are your monthly invoices, by logging onto your account. Your statement shows all tolls, fees and charges that were processed to your account during the statement period.

You can access, free of charge, your previous statements online for the last 18 months.

You may ask us to mail or email you a copy of your statement. We will charge you a requested statement fee for each statement we provide to you at your request.
Account balance

You can view your account balance by logging onto your account. You can also ask for your balance by calling our Customer Contact Centre.

5. Paying for your tolls

How we charge

For travel on TQ tolled roads we will charge tolls based on the class of vehicle, for each toll point that the vehicle passes. The class of a vehicle depends on the type of vehicle and its Purpose of Use (which will be either commercial (business) or private use, as specified in your vehicle registration status with the relevant road authority in the State the vehicle is registered). We may contact the relevant road authority in the State that any linked vehicle is registered to confirm the class and Purpose of Use of your vehicle.

For travel on roads for which we provide tolling services on behalf of the State, tolls will be determined by the State.

For travel on other compatible roads, tolls, fees and charges will be determined by the operator of the compatible road.

See section 7.1 for more details.
Applying tolls, fees and charges when there is more than one valid tolling product

A linked vehicle may be associated with more than one valid tolling product (e.g. an account and a Road Pass) when it travels on TQ tolled roads or a compatible road. We apply the tolls, fees and charges in this order:
1. to a Prepaid or Commercial account or an account issued by a compatible road operator, if we detect a tag linked to one of those accounts which is valid at the time of travel
2. to a pass or an account in the order listed below, if we don’t detect a tag at the time of travel or are unable to charge the account associated with a detected tag:
  1. Toll Credit Pass
  2. Road Pass
  3. Prepaid or Commercial account.
    
    If there are multiple passes linked to the vehicle at the time of travel, the pass with the earliest expiry date will be charged.
    
    If there are multiple accounts linked to the vehicle at the time of travel, the account to which the vehicle was most recently linked will be charged.
3. to a valid pass or account with a compatible road operator.
Paying your monthly invoice

After the end of each invoice period, we will send you an invoice, which shows the tolls, fees and charges for that month which you must pay by the due date on the invoice (which will be not less than 14 days from the date the invoice was issued).

The first invoice period will, by default, be one month from the account opening date. You can request a different invoice date by contacting us, subject to our approval which must not be unreasonably withheld.

You may pay the invoice using:
1. automatic direct debit from a bank account or credit card (in which case you need to provide us with the relevant bank account or credit card details), or
2. any of the other payment options as listed on the invoice.
If you make a payment using a cheque, and that cheque is dishonoured, we may charge a dishonour fee to your account.
Failure to pay your monthly invoice by the due date

If you don't pay a monthly invoice on time, then that invoice will be overdue and the following will apply:
1. we may charge an overdue interest charge on the overdue balance of your invoice (calculated at a rate of 1.25% per annum on the overdue balance 31 days after the due date of your invoice),
2. your account will be suspended until we receive payment of the overdue invoices or your account is closed by us. See section 9 for more information about what happens when your account is suspended and our process for closure of your account, and
3. we will contact you to notify you of your account suspension.
When we charge your bank account or credit card

If you have requested an automatic direct debit payment option, you agree to the additional terms set out in the application form for direct debit payments. If you have authorised us to direct debit the tolls, fees and charges of each monthly invoice from a bank account or credit card, we will charge your account or credit card on the due date of the invoice.

If you have authorised payment by direct debit from a bank account or credit card and that direct debit is unsuccessful, then:
1. we may charge a dishonour fee to your account
2. you may provide us with a new direct debit authority, and
3. until you provide us with a new direct debit authority, you must pay each monthly invoice using another payment option.
See section 5.4 for what will happen if an invoice becomes overdue as a result of a direct debit failure.
Payment Card Surcharge

Where you pay your monthly invoice by an accepted credit or debit card, you may be charged a Payment Card Surcharge on the amount paid. This amount is a pass through from our financial institution and is limited to the amount imposed on us by our financial institution to process your payment. Current Payment Card Surcharge Fees are available at linkt.com.au/brisbane.

You can avoid the Payment Card Surcharge by switching to a direct debit payment from your nominated bank account. No charges (other than dishonour fees) will be imposed in relation to payments made by direct debit from your nominated bank account. See section 5.5.
Set off

We may set off or deduct from any positive account balance or positive pass balance which you have with us, any amounts due, or which may become due, to us from you at any time and for any reason whatsoever.
Applying toll invoices to account
If:
1. we have sent a toll invoice for a linked vehicle that travels on TQ tolled roads or compatible roads (and this is not the result of an incorrect toll or fee as described in section 5.9); or
2. you have nominated yourself as the driver of a vehicle that is associated with a toll invoice,
then if your account becomes valid, or you identify yourself as the nominated driver, we may charge the total amount of the toll invoice (including the applicable tolls, toll invoice fee and video matching fees) to your account if the invoice remains unpaid after 28 days.
Incorrect charges

If we incorrectly charge a toll or a fee to your account for a trip on TQ tolled roads, we will refund that toll or fee to you within a reasonable time after:
1. you notify us of the error and we confirm it was an incorrect toll or fee, or
2. we become aware of the error.
A toll or fee is not incorrectly charged by us if we charge you in accordance with section 5.1.

It is your responsibility to update your details in accordance with section 4.6.

6. Our tags

We own the tags

Each tag we provide to you remains the property of Transurban Queensland.

We may ask you to return a tag at any time. All tags must be returned prior to closure of your account (see 9.3(a)).

If you do not return a tag within seven business days of being requested to do so, you may be charged a tag non-return fee. This fee will also apply if the tag is returned to us and it is damaged or cannot be re-used, other than as a result of normal wear and tear.

Tag beeps on TQ tolled roads

We send messages about your account through beeps from the tag. The beeps will be heard when a tag correctly installed passes through a toll point on one of TQ tolled roads. It’s important for you to understand what the beeps mean so you can effectively manage your account.

Beeps	What it means	Your action
1 beep	We have successfully charged the toll to your account.	None.
4 beeps	Your monthly invoice is now overdue. Your account may be suspended or cancelled.	Contact us immediately. Also see section 5.4.
No beep	The tag may be faulty or incorrectly installed.	Check the tag placement in your vehicle. If the tag is not installed as per our instructions (see section 6.3), please install it correctly and see if this corrects the problem. If it does not, or you have any questions, please contact us. Please refer to section 7 regarding fees associated with travel where a tag is not detected.

Beeps

What it means

Your action

1 beep

We have successfully charged the toll to your account.

None.

4 beeps

Your monthly invoice is now overdue. Your account may be suspended or cancelled.

No beep

The tag may be faulty or incorrectly installed.

Check the tag placement in your vehicle. If the tag is not installed as per our instructions (see section 6.3), please install it correctly and see if this corrects the problem. If it does not, or you have any questions, please contact us.

Please refer to section 7 regarding fees associated with travel where a tag is not detected.

We do not operate the compatible roads, and therefore any beeps heard or not heard when travelling on a compatible road may not be consistent with the meanings set out above.

Using tags

If we provide you with a tag you must:
1. install and use the tag in accordance with our instructions. We will provide you with instructions when we send the tag to you, or you can download them at linkt.com.au/brisbane
2. take reasonable care of the tag and keep it safe so it doesn't get lost, stolen, damaged, spoiled or destroyed
3. only use the tag in a vehicle of the same class as the vehicle for which you requested that tag. If you install the tag in a different class of vehicle, then we may charge the tolls, fees and charges that apply to that different class of vehicle, and
4. not, unless approved by us, sign up to any arrangement or commercial dealing with a third party using our tag, use our tag to make any payment other than through your account with us and not disclose your tag number to any third party for such purpose.
Lost or stolen tags

If a tag is lost or stolen, you must:
1. notify us immediately, and
2. if we ask you, provide us with a copy of the police report or other evidence.
From when you notify us that a tag is lost or stolen, we won't hold you responsible for any tolls, fees or charges that might result from someone else using that tag. However, we may charge a tag non-return fee to your account. We will send you a replacement tag if you ask us.
Damaged or destroyed tags

If a tag is damaged, you must return it to us. When you return a tag that is damaged or cannot be reused, other than as a result of normal wear and tear, section 6.1 will apply. If a tag is destroyed, then you must:
1. notify us immediately, and
2. if we ask you, provide us with evidence.
Faulty tags
1. if you think that a tag is faulty, then you must contact us immediately
2. if we ask you to return the tag to us and you request a replacement tag, we will send you a replacement tag.
Motorcycles

Motorcycles are not required to carry a tag. However, operators of compatible roads may charge a video matching fee if the motorcycle travels on a compatible road.
Multiple tags in a linked vehicle

If you carry more than one tag in a linked vehicle, we will do our best to only charge the relevant toll once when that linked vehicle passes through a toll point. When we are notified or we become aware of duplicated tolls that are reasonably attributable to the carrying of multiple tags in a linked vehicle, TQ will refund your account for the duplicated toll charges.

7. Our tags

Tolls, fees and charges

If we detect a tag which is linked to your account on TQ tolled roads, we will charge the relevant tolls and fees for the linked vehicle associated with that tag to your account.

If we don’t detect a tag when a linked vehicle travels on TQ tolled roads (eg, if a tag was not requested for that linked vehicle, the tag is not in the linked vehicle or the tag has not been correctly installed) we will charge these tolls and fees to your account:
1. the toll amount, and
2. the video matching fee.
However, we won't charge a video matching fee if:
1. the linked vehicle is a motorcycle travelling on a TQ tolled road, or
2. the tag was faulty and you notified us and returned the tag to us promptly.
If we charge a video matching fee, but you contact us and we confirm that there was a tag correctly installed at the time of travel, we will refund the video matching fee.

The tolls, fees and charges that apply to TQ tolled roads and toll products may change from time to time. The toll amount depends on the class of the vehicle that travels on TQ tolled roads. We may offer discounts, promotions and other special offers from time to time. These offers are subject to change and may be altered or discontinued at our discretion.

To find out the current tolls, fees and charges, you can:
1. visit linkt.com.au/brisbane
2. call our Customer Contact Centre on 13 33 31
3. contact us on any of the other methods set out in section 16.
Refunds

If we need to pay a refund to you under this Agreement, we may pay it to the card or bank account, which you used to make the original transaction.

If you request closure of your account under section 9.2, we will refund you in accordance with section 9.3(c).

8. Travelling on compatible roads

Conditions that apply to compatible roads

We have an agreement with certain operators of compatible roads to charge your account with the relevant tolls, fees and charges that apply for use of those compatible roads when a tag or a linked vehicle is detected on those compatible roads.
How we process the tolls, fees and charges

When a tag or a linked vehicle is detected on a compatible road, the operator may notify us of the tolls, fees and charges that apply to that trip. Additional fees and charges may apply if you do not have a tag or it is incorrectly installed or faulty.

If your account has no overdue invoices, we pay the operator on your behalf and charge the relevant tolls, fees and charges to your account as soon as we have received all the relevant information related to your trip.

However, if your account has overdue invoices, if the operator is unable to identify your linked vehicle, or if your account is suspended then:
1. we may reject the tolls, fees and charges notified by the compatible road operator, and
2. as a result, the compatible road operator may send the registered owner of the detected vehicle an invoice or request for payment (which may include additional fees or charges).
If you have a query about tolls, fees or charges applied to your account as a result of use of a compatible road, you should contact the operator of that compatible road.
Liability

Apart from any obligations we may have under the Australian Consumer Law, Transurban Queensland and the Transurban Queensland Group are not liable to you, any person who drives a linked vehicle or any other road user or any person claiming through you in relation to any loss or damage you suffer as a result of:
1. rejecting the toll, fees and charges notified to us by a compatible road operator, in accordance with these terms and conditions, or
2. use of the compatible road.

9. Suspending and closing your account

When your account may be suspended

If at any time an invoice on your account is overdue, we may suspend your account. We will try to notify you via the contact details you have provided to us if your account is at risk of being suspended and again when your account is actually suspended. We will reinstate your account once you pay all overdue invoices.

We may also suspend your account if you breach this Agreement, or as set out in section 9.3(e). In these circumstances, we will notify you when your account is reinstated. Alternatively, your account may be closed in accordance with section 9.2 or section 9.3(e).

A suspension of your account means that your rights under this Agreement are temporarily suspended.

While your account is suspended you will need to make another arrangement for travel on TQ tolled roads or compatible roads. If your overdue invoices have not been paid or another arrangement has not been made within three days of any travel on TQ tolled roads, then we will send the registered owner of the vehicle a toll invoice in respect of that trip (including a toll invoice fee and video matching fee).

Also see section 8.2 in relation to travel on compatible roads.

When your account may be closed

Reason	What it means
An invoice is overdue	We may close your account if you do not pay an invoice on time (after your account has previously been suspended and we have made reasonable attempts to contact you to pay the invoice). Before closing your account, we will notify you by the contact details you have provided to us that the invoice is overdue and requires payment. If you do not pay all overdue invoices within the timeframe set out in our notice to you, then we may close your account and we may attempt to recover the debt from you through a debt collection agency.
You ask us to close your account	At any time, you may ask us to close your account by: notifying us in writing calling our Customer Contact Centre.
Your account is inactive	We may close your account if no tolls, fees or charges have been charged to your account for a period of two years or more. Before closing your account, we will notify you that we are considering closing your account for this reason. We may agree to keep your account open at your request. If we are unable to contact you, or you do not respond to our notice, then we will proceed to close your account.
You no longer satisfy the requirements for this account type	We may close your account if we consider that you no longer satisfy the requirements as set out in section 4.1 for this account type.
Your account is being used for fraudulent purposes	As set out in clause 9.3(e).
Breach of this Agreement	We may close your account if you breach this Agreement.

Closing your account
1. Tags must be returned
  
  You must return any tags prior to requesting your account to be closed. If you are unable to return tags because they are lost or stolen, or if your tag is damaged, you must notify us when you request that your account is closed and we may charge a tag non-return fee to your account for each tag. We will close your account once outstanding fees have been paid.
2. Transferring balances
  Before we close your account we may transfer any positive balance on this account to any other accounts or passes you may have with us to partially or entirely clear their negative balances, or we may transfer the positive balance of any other accounts or passes you may have with us to this account to partially or entirely clear any negative balance on this account. If we do this, we will try to notify you via the contact details you have provided to us.
3. Positive balance
  
  If your account has a positive balance (after any outstanding tolls, fees and charges have been applied and after we have exercised any rights to transfer that balance to any of your other accounts or passes), then approximately 30 days after we close it we will pay the balance as follows (and in this order):
  1. we will refund the balance to the card or bank account which you used to make the original transaction or the card or bank account that is listed on your account,
  2. we will mail a cheque for the balance to the address listed on your account payable to the account holder, or
  3. if we can't reasonably contact you, we will hold the balance for you for a period of two years, after which the balance will be considered unclaimed money in accordance with our obligations at law.
4. Negative balance
  
  If your account has a negative balance (after any outstanding tolls, fees and charges have been applied) we will issue you with a final invoice and you must pay that invoice by its due date.
  
  If you have set up an automatic direct debit from a bank account or credit card linked to your account, we will debit your payment arrangement and send a final invoice stating that no funds are owing on the account.
  
  We will close your account after the final payment is made.
  
  If you don't pay the outstanding balance by the due date of our invoice, or your automatic payment fails, we may attempt to recover the debt from you through a debt collection agency.
5. Fraud
  
  We may suspend or close your account if we reasonably believe your account or any card linked to your account or use of your account:
  1. is using our system to determine the validity of a credit card;
  2. poses a risk to us or any third party, including the integrity, security or reliability of us or our system;
  3. was obtained fraudulently or using false details; or
  4. is being, or may be, used for fraudulent, illegal, dishonest or malicious purposes.
  We may suspend or close your account if you do not cooperate with any investigation in relation to your account regarding suspected fraudulent, illegal, dishonest or malicious behaviour, or if you refuse to confirm your identity in response to a request made by us in connection with any suspected fraudulent, illegal, dishonest or malicious behaviour.
  
  For the purposes of this Agreement, fraudulent, illegal, dishonest or malicious behaviour means dishonest activity, which may cause financial loss to any persons or entity including theft of money or other property whether or not deception is used at the time.

Use of TQ tolled roads, compatible roads and products

You acknowledge and agree that:
1. we do not guarantee that the TQ tolled roads or compatible roads will always be available or that traffic flows will be uninterrupted

From time to time, maintenance or other work may need to be completed on TQ tolled roads or a compatible road. That work may disrupt traffic flows on those roads. We will try to minimise these disruptions.

Except as set out in section 14.1, Transurban Queensland and the Transurban Queensland Group are not liable to you, any person who drives a linked vehicle or any other road user or any person claiming through you in relation to:
