Security Requirements: You are responsible for securing your account and device.
  1. You must take steps to secure your Device(s) on which the App has been downloaded and your Ye Group Account credentials.
  2. You are responsible for ensuring that:
    1. your password is kept secret and secure (e.g. not recorded with or on your Device), not easily guessed or deciphered (e.g. your date of birth), and not shared with another person;

  4. Ye Group is entitled to assume that the person who logs in to your Ye Group Account with the correct password is you, and we are not responsible for any unauthorised activity on your Ye Group Account (including any loss or damage) by such person except to the extent the loss of damage is caused or contributed to by the negligent act or omission of Ye Group.

We will attempt to notify you through your Ye Group Account or email that you used to register for the account before terminating, deleting or suspending your account due to inactivity. If we delete or terminate your Ye Group Account, we may also delete your personal information associated with the Ye Group Account.

3. YEMART APP

3.1 Keeping the App up to date

We release new versions of the App from time to time. Please keep the App updated to the most current version at all times. Older versions of the App may not function properly, or at all.

3.2 Mobile data usage

The App requires mobile internet connectivity to function properly. It will consume data from your mobile device. You are responsible for any data charges that you may incur in using the App.

3.4 Location information

Some Features of the App may require you to consent to Ye Group and our third party service providers accessing information about your current location. For example, the App may require information about your current location to help you find your closest Ye Group Store and your location data across time when you shop at a Ye Group Store using YePay.

Ye Group collects and uses your location information via Bluetooth and location tracking to provide the functionalities of those Features. The Features may implement software components (for example mapping services) that are provided by third parties. Those third parties may gather and report information about you in connection with your use of the App for the purpose of providing those components.

The App will seek your permission by a pop-up message on your Device, and you indicate your consent by enabling location services and giving the App the requested permission through your Device's native operating system. You can also change these settings from time to time directly on the Device's operating system.

If you do not enable location services and give the App the requested permissions, then certain Features of the App may not function properly, or at all.

You must not manipulate the location information reported by your Device when using the App (even if such manipulation is a feature of the Device, for example, under "developer options"). Ye Group may suspend or cancel your Ye Group Account if Ye Group has reasonable grounds to suspect that the location information reported by your Device has been manipulated.

4. ADVERTISING

  1. 4.1 You acknowledge and agree that:
    1. the App may feature advertisements from Ye Group and/or Ye Group's selected third parties from time to time; and
    2. Ye Group is not responsible for the content of any third party advertisements, nor the content of any website or other materials that may be linked to by third party advertisements, and you view such third party websites and materials at your sole risk.
  2. 4.2 The App may also send push notifications to you via your Device's native operating system (for example, to notify you of a promotion available at a nearby store, or to remind you of upcoming expiry of promotions). Depending on your Device's native operation system and your settings, these push notifications may appear as a pop up box, a "badge" on the Apps icon or a message in the notification centre of your Device. You can manage push notifications directly in the settings of your Device.

    2. stored by Ye Group for use in accordance with section 17.5.

  7. 17.7 To pay for the YeMart Products using the App, you must:
    1. register an eligible credit card or debit card (Eligible Card). You can also check whether your credit or debit card is eligible by entering its details on the online checkout screen. If your card is not eligible it will be rejected as a payment method; or
    2. pay using any other payment method listed on the online checkout screen; or
    3. have Apple Pay (on iOS devices) or Google Pay (on Android devices) enabled on your Device. These will be automatically used as the default payment method if you do not register an Eligible Card, and we will not ask you to add a payment method.
  8. 17.8 Each time you use YeMart, you authorise a temporary hold against that Eligible Card (Pre-Authorisation Hold). The Pre-Authorisation Hold will be $20. When your transaction is finalised, your Eligible Card will be charged the full value of the items in your virtual basket after any loyalty offers and rewards are applied. An e-receipt will issue to your nominated mobile number or email address.
  9. 17.9 Ye Group is not responsible for and has no control over the time it takes for your card issuer or bank to release any Pre-Authorisation Hold. Please contact your bank if you have any questions.

You will be notified via the App that your payment was unsuccessful.

    6. Ye Group reserves the right to investigate all accounts where we suspect incorrect or fraudulent activity has occurred. If we reasonably suspect fraud or illegality, we reserve the right to block your use of the YePay Feature by suspending your Ye Group Account or preventing use of the YeMart App. We may also prevent use of a Ye Group Account where we reasonably believe that allowing it to be used may cause harm to any person (including Ye Group or a Ye Group store).
    7. A Pre-Authorisation Hold may be made each time you open the YeMart App to access a Ye Group store. In some cases, this may result in multiple Pre-Authorisation Holds – for example, if you cancel a payment authorisation, or a payment authorisation times out, and you then proceed with another payment authorisation to make an in-App purchase using your Eligible Card.
    8. If you wish to query a recent YePay transaction, and you used the App to process payment you can go to the App Help & Support section, select YePay and then select the transaction in question. This will open an email on your mobile device and enable you to email us your query. Please add a description of the issue to help us to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
    9. Ye Group is entitled to rely on any purchase made using YePay or your Ye Group Account as authorised by you. Ye Group is under no obligation to check that any purchase, instruction, or confirmation made through your account is made by you. We are not responsible for any unauthorised activity on your Ye Group Account (including any loss or damage), except to the extent the loss or damage is caused or contributed to by the negligent act or omission of Ye Group. We may refer fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity to the relevant authorities.
  11. 17.11 The price of YeMart Products displayed within the App should match in-store prices. This includes store-wide promotions but excludes instore discounted products. However, any price displayed is subject to change without notice and there may be a short time lapse between any price change and the update of the price which is displayed in the App.
  12. 17.12 If there is a discrepancy between the in-store price and the price charged to you as shown on your receipt, you may contact Ye Group Customer Service either by clicking on the 'More' tab then 'Help & Support', 'Contact Us' and 'YePay' in the App or by email at: customer_service@yegrouptech.au.
  13. 17.13 Ye Group reserves the right to amend any pricing errors in the App that arise, for example, due to human error or computer malfunction. Ye Group will notify you of any error in pricing and you may elect not to purchase any goods where the price has been corrected.

  15. 17.15 The return of goods process in section 17.14 is in addition to any rights and remedies you may have in respect of any breach of a Non-excludable Term (see section 11) or otherwise at law.
