Driver App Terms and Conditions
Terms of use of WEX Motorpass Driver Application
- By accessing and using the WEX Motorpass Driver Application (“Driver Application”), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use. Certain features of the Driver Application such as Pay At Pump may be subject to additional terms which should be read in conjunction with these Terms of Use. The term “User” refers to a WEX Motorpass card or account holder who accesses the Driver Application, including you.
- WEX Motorpass cards are issued by Wex Australia Pty Ltd ACN 005 970 570 (“WEX”).
- The Driver Application is operated by WEX and hosted by The Online Fuel Company Pty Ltd ACN 645 132 047 (“OFC”).
Your use of the Driver Application
- The Driver Application is available for use by WEX Motorpass card or account holders. You must ensure that your registration details are true and correct. By using the Driver Application, you confirm you are a WEX Motorpass customer. WEX will validate each registered user as being genuine WEX Motorpass card or account holders. You acknowledge that WEX may discontinue your registration and access to the Driver Application if such validation is not successful.
- WEX grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Driver Application under these Terms of Use. The Driver Application content includes but is not limited to text, data, reports, opinions, images, photos, graphics, graphs, charts, animations and video (the “Content”). Except as otherwise permitted under these Terms of Use, you agree not to copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, or store any Content, in whole or in part, from the Driver Application or to display, perform, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast or circulate any Content to anyone, or for any commercial purpose, without the express prior written consent of WEX.
- You agree to use the Driver Application in accordance with these Terms of Use and only for lawful purposes, and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of this application by any third party. Such restriction or inhibition includes, without limitation, conduct which is unlawful, or which may harass or cause distress or inconvenience to any person and the transmission of obscene or offensive content or disruption of normal flow of dialogue within the Driver Application.
- WEX may collect personal information about you in connection with the access to and use of the Driver Application. When you use the Driver Application you consent to WEX accessing your location data by enabling location services on your device’s operating system. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details of how we collect and handle personal information. By agreeing to these Terms of Use you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy set out in the Driver Application.
- If you do not want WEX to access information about your location you should de-activate the location services functionality by using your device settings. If you do so, the location services, Pay At Pump and other services within the Driver Application may not be available to you.
Pay At Pump
- WEX is the payment provider for the purpose of processing transactions through the Driver Application.
- When you use the Pay At Pump feature to purchase fuel:
- you will be prompted to identify the participating fuel site, the number of the fuel pump you intend to use, the grade of fuel and the maximum pre-authorisation value of your purchase. You are responsible for inputting the correct values of these items and WEX will not be liable for any errors made by you;
- If the fuel pump selected by you is available the Driver Application will seek to validate that you have sufficient funds for the maximum pre-authorisation value you specified.
- If such validation is provided the Driver Application will authorise the fuel pump and communicate to you that you may commence dispensing fuel at the nominated pump;
- You will be charged for the quantity of fuel actually dispensed from the fuel pump. This may differ from the amount of any pre-authorisation. You will not be permitted to try to purchase more fuel than the pre-authorisation value;
- If such validation is not provided, you may submit subsequent requests at lower pre-authorisation amounts through the Driver Application. If the Driver Application cannot obtain pre-authorisation then you will not be permitted to purchase fuel via the Driver Application.
- You must notify WEX in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to your Motorpass account if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or if the security of your Motorpass account is compromised in any way. This may include if your mobile device on which the Driver Application is stored is lost or stolen.
Payment
- You must register your Wex Motorpass card in your Driver Application to use the Pay At Pump function to purchase fuel.
- You authorise WEX to charge the Wex Motorpass card linked to your Driver Application for fuel purchases requested by you in accordance with these Terms of Use.
- By submitting a request for pre authorisation of a transaction, you authorise a temporary pre-authorisation hold for the amount of the transaction. You understand that a pre-authorisation hold puts a temporary hold on the funds that would otherwise be available using your Wex Motorpass card until such time as the transaction has cleared.
- You acknowledge that registering a Wex Motorpass card in your Driver Application creates a digital instance of that card. This means that you must cancel that card if your mobile device on which the Driver Application is stored or your physical card is lost or stolen.
- All prices in the Driver Application shall be shown, and charged, in Australian dollars, and shall be inclusive of GST and any other applicable taxes.
Offers displayed in the Driver Application
- These terms apply to every Offer displayed in the Driver Application.
- By using the Driver Application, you agree that Merchants may from time to time choose to publish Offers for their products and services directly to you in the Driver Application (“Merchant Offering”).
- A “Merchant” is a third party that sells, supplies and/or provides the Merchant Offering. As the provider of the Driver Application, WEX does not own, create, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver or supply Offers or Merchant Offerings. Merchants alone are responsible for their Offers. When Users redeem an Offer (by displaying the barcode to the cashier at the time of the transaction) they are entering into a contract directly with the Merchant. WEX is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Merchants and Users.
- WEX has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, safety, suitability or legality of the contents of an Offer. WEX does not endorse any Merchant or Offer.
- Offers are capable of being, and permitted to be, redeemed only whilst you are physically located at the Merchants’ retail location advertising the Offer and only for immediate transaction. It is not permissible to redeem an Offer for later use. Staff at Merchant retail locations are trained to inspect the timestamp displayed in the Driver Application evidencing the time that the user selects “Redeem Deal” to verify compliance with this requirement. When you have closed out of the screen displaying the barcode for an Offer, the Driver Application treats the Offer redemption as complete. As Merchants may set limits on the number of redemptions an individual User may make of a particular Offer, you may not be able to access the particular Offer again. Please ensure therefore you proceed immediately to complete the transaction with the Cashier after selecting “Redeem deal” in the Driver Application without closing out of the screen displaying the barcode.
- Merchants may set one or more conditions and parameters with respect to their Offers. Each Offer card in the Driver Application displays the relevant additional terms and conditions for that Offer. Relevant conditions may include the following (without limitation):
- An Offer may be valid for redemption for a limited period of time – the period of time remaining for redemption is specified in the Offer card. If you do not redeem the Offer within the period for redemption, it will expire automatically. It cannot be redeemed after the redemption period – even if you have saved it in the “My Saved Deals” wallet in the Driver Application.
- A Merchant may permit only a limited number of redemptions for any particular Offer – the number of redemptions remaining for an Offer is specified on the Offer card. Once the maximum number of redemptions of an Offer has been reached, the Offer will expire automatically. It cannot be redeemed anymore – even if you have saved it in the “My Saved Deals” wallet in the Driver Application;
- An Offer may not be redeemed in conjunction with any other Offer (whether displayed in the Driver Application or otherwise);
- An Offer may specify that it can only be redeemed if particular specified minimum purchase conditions are met (such as a minimum volume of fuel or an in-store spend);
- A limit on the number of Offer redemptions or frequency of Offer redemptions may be specified for an individual User or in a transaction.
- The Driver Application does not record any product restrictions that may apply to your WEX Motorpass card. As a result, you may be presented with Offers in the Driver Application for products that are restricted products for the purposes of your WEX Motorpass card. You will not be able to use your WEX Motorpass card to pay for those products.
- The reproduction of an Offer (or Offer card) is prohibited (for example, you may not create a “screenshot” of an Offer or Offer card). The commercial trade of an Offer or Offer card is prohibited.
- Merchants may withdraw, vary or cancel Offers that have not yet been processed at any time. “Processed” in this context means the User has selected “redeem deal” in an Offer card and presented the barcode to the cashier as part of paying for the relevant transaction. In addition, fuel price offers displayed in the Driver Application may (and in some locations are likely to) change multiple times during the day and there is no guarantee that an Offer displayed will remain available when you arrive on Site.
- You promise not to provide false data in relation to an Offer, including false names, addresses and/or contact details or allow anyone else to do so.
- If you redeem an Offer, but the Merchant has not properly provided you with the Merchant Offering, or if you have a complaint regarding the provision of the Merchant Offering, you must take action against the Merchant directly. This is because the Merchant, and not WEX, is responsible for the supply and/or provision of the Merchant Offering.
- Please note that the Merchant, and not WEX, is (a) the seller, supplier and/or provider of the Merchant Offering; (b) the party who enters into a contract with the User when the Offer is redeemed; and (c) solely responsible for providing the User with the Merchant Offering and for the Merchant Offering itself. Under no circumstances is OFC or WEX acting as the agent of the Merchant.
Driver Application operation
- The Driver Application may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. WEX is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by OFC or WEX of such Third-Party Services.
- Due to the nature of the Internet, OFC and WEX cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Driver Application. WEX may restrict the availability of the Driver Application or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Driver Application.

All trade names, trademarks, service marks and other product and service names and logos on the Driver Application and within the Content are proprietary to their respective owners and are protected by applicable trademark and copyright laws. Any of the trademarks, service marks or logos (collectively, the “Marks”) displayed on the Driver Application may be registered or unregistered marks of WEX or others.

Neither WEX or OFC shall be liable to the user or anyone else for any inaccuracy, delay, interruption in service, error or omission, regardless of cause, or for any damages resulting therefrom.
- Specifically, where the Driver Application displays fuel retail price information (known as the board price or the price available to the market generally not as part of a special offer), that information has been supplied to us by either a third party having data of recent fuel transactions or the relevant government transparency scheme operating in the location of the retail fuel site. We request updates on fuel retail prices from our sources regularly. However, if a retail fuel site has changed price between updates, that new price will not appear in the Driver Application until our next update (assuming the price change is properly communicated to our source of prices).
- You agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, neither OFC or WEX will be liable for any loss, property damage, personal injury or death that may arise from or in connection with your use of the Driver Application, Pay At Pump function or Content except to the extent that this is caused by OFC’s or WEX’s negligence, fraudulent or unlawful act or omission.
- You agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, OFC and WEX exclude and will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage you may suffer.
- OFC and WEX do not promise the completeness, fitness for purpose or legality of any Merchant Offering. OFC and WEX are not liable for the quality, safety, usability or any other aspect of any Merchant Offering.
- You are responsible for the security of your device. You agree to promptly update, and keep updated, the operating system and security software for your device when released by the device or system provider.
- OFC and WEX will not be liable for any failure by the Driver Application to operate as intended where that failure is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, such as a failure of telecommunications networks, weather events, natural disasters or road closures.
