Terms of Service - Australia

LAST UPDATE: 14 November 2019 

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Afterpay allows you to pay for your purchase over 4 instalments due every 2 weeks. In some cases, Afterpay may require you to make a payment at the time of purchase. 
• You must be over 18 years old and be the authorised holder of an eligible debit/credit card to apply (see clause 2.4 for eligibility criteria).
• All orders are subject to Afterpay’s approval – for example, if you have any overdue payments, Afterpay will not be available to you. For more information on assessment and checks, see clause 6.2
• As part of our approval process, we may conduct a pre-authorisation on your nominated card, up to an amount of your first instalment - see clause 6.2(f)
• You can make repayments to Afterpay any time BEFORE the due date. Otherwise, Afterpay will automatically try process payments on the scheduled dates from your card. If a payment is not processed on or before the due date, late fees will apply – initial $10 late fee, and a further $7 if the payment remains unpaid 7 days after the due date.
• For each order below $40, a maximum of one $10 late fee may be applied per order. For each order of $40 or above, the total of the late fees that may be applied are capped at 25% of the original order value or $68, whichever is less. See Schedule 1.
• If you won’t be able to pay us on time, please contact us as soon as possible. Please click here for more information regarding Hardship. 
• The delivery/quality of goods and all refunds is the responsibility of the retailer where you make the purchase or the Third Party Supplier who supplies the Third Party Goods available through our Website. 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CARD PRE-AUTHORISATIONS:

As part of our approval process and our assessment as to whether or not you have the capability to fulfil your obligation to make future payments to Afterpay according to the Payment Schedule, we reserve the right to conduct a pre-authorisation of your Nominated Payment Source. This may involve placing funds in the account linked to your Nominated Payment Source on hold each time you make an online purchase, obtain a barcode for an in-store purchase or add a new Card to your Afterpay Account. For online purchases, we immediately instruct your bank to void this pre-authorisation transaction. For in-store, where a barcode is obtained but a purchase does not eventuate, we instruct the bank to void the pre-authorisation if the barcode is cancelled or expires. No funds are received by Afterpay during this process. We cannot guarantee the time it takes for your bank to process this action by us and make your funds available.

PLEASE NOTE: In most circumstances, relevant banks will void a pre-authorisation transaction within a few hours of the pre-authorisation transaction being conducted by Afterpay. However, in some observed instances, banks have taken up to fourteen (14) days to finalise this process. Unfortunately, we do not have any control or influence over the timing of your bank’s ability to finalise this process and Afterpay makes no representations on this subject matter.

Please read this Agreement carefully. By clicking to accept these terms and using Afterpay’s Products, you agree to be bound by (i) this Agreement; and (ii) Afterpay’s Privacy Policy which can be found here. The headings contained in this document are for reference purposes only. You should print a copy of this Agreement and Afterpay’s Privacy Policy for your records.

(h) To the extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 2.2, we will not be liable to you or anyone else for any losses suffered or incurred due to delay in receipt of, or for any lost or misdirected, barcodes sent to the email address you have provided, or for any losses suffered or incurred due to the theft, fraud, misuse or unauthorised use of the barcode, except to the extent that such losses arise as a result of our negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

 

3.4  Closing your Afterpay Account

(a) You may request to close your Afterpay Account by contacting us directly. You may only request to close your Afterpay Account if:

(i) all amounts owing to us by you (including any Late Fees) have been paid in full to us; and
(ii) no disputes or refunds are in progress.

(b) You may not close your Afterpay Account to evade investigations of any nature.

(c) We may close your Afterpay Account for any reason, within our reasonable discretion. This Agreement will continue to apply to any Orders accepted prior to such closure until all amounts owing are received in full (including any Late Fees).

(e) We may immediately limit your access to our Products or suspend or close your Afterpay Account where we have reasonable cause to do so including, without limitation, where:

(i) we reasonably consider it necessary to do so in order to:
(A) protect the integrity of our systems or the Products;
(B) prevent fraud;
(C) limit the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing; or
(D) otherwise protect us against legal, regulatory or non-payment risk;

(ii) you do not pass our verifications or checks, including our pre-authorisation check described in clause 6.2(d); 

(iii) we reasonably suspect, or are aware, that you have breached this Agreement in a material respect (including by failing to make any payment due under this Agreement by the payment due date or by providing us with false, inaccurate or misleading information or using your Afterpay Account or our Products in breach of this Agreement); or

(iv) we otherwise reasonably consider the activity associated with the Afterpay Account to be suspicious.

(f) We will use our best efforts to provide written notice to you before closing your Afterpay Account, in the circumstances described in clause 3.4(e) above, except where doing so may compromise any investigation related to your breach of this Agreement or unlawful or improper conduct. Where we close your Afterpay Account in accordance with clause 3.4(e), this Agreement will be terminated, and all amounts owed by you to us will immediately become payable to Afterpay.

(g) Despite clause 5(f), where your Afterpay Account has been closed for any reason, our respective obligations in relation to product returns in clause 5 will only continue until the earlier of:

(i) the date on which all amounts you owe to us have been paid to us; or
(ii) the date which is 120 days after your last Order or such later date we have agreed with a Retailer or Third Party Supplier where required based on the nature of the goods or services purchased by you. After that time, the Retailer or Third Party Supplier will be solely responsible for processing all product returns and associated refunds.

 

 4.  Orders, payments and billing

 

 4.1  Order Confirmation and Payment Schedule

(a) All Orders which you place with Afterpay are subject to approval by Afterpay, in our reasonable discretion. We may choose not to approve an Order or provide a Product to you, or may cancel an approved Order before the goods or services are delivered or supplied, if:

(i) we reasonably consider this necessary in order to:
(A) protect the integrity of our systems or the Products;
(B) prevent fraud;
(C) limit the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing; or
(D) otherwise protect us against legal, regulatory or non-payment risk;

(ii) you do not pass our verifications or checks, including those described in clause 6;

(iii) we reasonably suspect, or are aware, that you have breached this Agreement in a material respect (including by failing to make any payment due under this Agreement on the payment due date);

(iv) an Order is made with a merchant in a different jurisdiction that is not permitted by Afterpay; or

(v) we otherwise reasonably consider the Order to be suspicious.

(b) If we cancel an approved Order:(i) we will apply a full refund of any amounts you have paid to us to your Nominated Payment Source or (if that is not possible) to any other Card that you have provided us details of, and will cancel any future payments related to that Order. In the event the approved Order is cancelled because a chargeback has been incurred by Afterpay in relation to a payment for the approved Order, that payment will not be refunded by Afterpay. Any return of funds in that event will be as between you and your issuing bank. The Retailer or Third Party Supplier (as applicable) will not be obliged to deliver the goods (or provide the services) the subject of the Order, unless required to do so by law;
(ii) you will have no obligation to make any further payments to us, or any other ongoing relationship with us, with respect to that Order; and
(iii) if you wish to proceed with the purchase from the Retailer, the Retailer may accept an alternative payment method in its discretion, or if required to do so by law.

(c) Once we approve your Order, you will receive an email from us with confirmation of receipt of your Order and a Payment Schedule.

(d) You agree to ensure that payment(s) are made in accordance with the Payment Schedule. You may make early payments through your Afterpay Account, otherwise Afterpay will automatically process payments in accordance with the due dates stated on the Payment Schedule. You authorise Afterpay to process such payments using the Payment Method details provided by you. If an Automatic Payment fails on any of the dates specified in your Payment Schedule, Afterpay reserves the right to re-attempt to process the payment at a later time or date.

4.2  Automatic Payments

(a) An ‘Automatic Payment’ is a payment, through the Payment Method you have chosen, that we will automatically charge directly to your nominated Card (‘Nominated Payment Source’) on a one-time or regular basis in agreed upon amounts as outlined in your Payment Schedule. You will have the option to select a preferred Payment Method and Nominated Payment Source when your Afterpay Account is being created. You can update or change your preferred Nominated Payment Source or Payment Method at any time via your Afterpay Account.

(b) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, You hereby expressly consent to, authorise and instruct Afterpay to deduct Automatic Payment amounts from your Nominated Payment Source for the amounts and on those scheduled dates set out in your Payment Schedule. You acknowledge that you are giving us the ability to collect or reverse variable payment amounts from or to your Nominated Payment Source, in accordance with your Payment Schedule and the terms of this Agreement.

(c) You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds in your Nominated Payment Source available to make Automatic Payments on the dates specified in your Payment Schedule. You are liable for any fees or charges imposed by your Nominated Payment Source, except to the extent that such fees or charges arise as a result of our error or system failure. If any fees or charges are imposed as a result of our error or system failure, please provide us with a copy of the relevant records, and we will reimburse you for the relevant fees or charges.

(d) If an Automatic Payment fails (for example, if your Nominated Payment Source is a credit or debit card which has expired), Late Fees may apply unless you otherwise make the scheduled payment on or before the relevant due date. You authorise us to satisfy any monetary liability you owe us by:(i) Debiting your Nominated Payment Source at a later time or date;
(ii) Debiting any other Card which you have provided details of;
(iii) Offsetting the payment amount against any amounts we may owe to you; or
(iv) Any other legal means.

Please see clause 4.3 below for more information regarding Late Fees.

4.3  Late Payments

(a) If you fail to pay any amounts according to the Payment Schedule, Late Fees will apply on each payment that is due but not received. For the avoidance of doubt, Late Fees will not be applied until the day immediately following the day that the payment is due.

(b) We may, at our sole discretion, reasonably delay the application of, or waive wholly or partly, any Late Fee. If Late Fees are or may be incurred as a result of Afterpay’s error, please let us know, and we will waive or refund such fees, as relevant.

4.4  Fees

(a) Charges or Fees, if any, payable by you for the use of our Products or your Afterpay Account will be set out in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

 

4.5 Cross Border Transactions

Where you use our Products to make a Cross Border Transaction, we will convert what the Retailer charges for the goods into your local currency using a retail exchange rate selected by Afterpay at our discretion to determine the Original Order Value and the amounts payable by you in accordance with your Payment Schedule. The exchange rate used will change regularly to reflect the currency fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.

No set up fees or foreign exchange commission will be applied to the exchange rate applied to perform the conversion.

4.6  Interest

(a) No interest charges are payable by you for the use of our Products.

4.7  No set off

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, you must make all payments in accordance with the Payment Schedule and pay all other amounts in full to us under this Agreement without any set-off, withholding or reduction for any reason whatsoever, including any existing or future act, omission or default by us.

4.8 Higher Upfront payment

Where the Original Order Value exceeds your approved spending limit with Afterpay, you may be offered the option to pay an instalment at the time of purchase which is higher than 25% of the Original Order Value (Higher Upfront Payment).

If this section applies to you, the Higher Upfront Payment will display prior to you confirming your Afterpay Order, and we will act as your agent by paying through your Higher Upfront Payment to the merchant. For the avoidance of doubt, Your obligations with respect to Your Payment Schedule (regardless of the applicability of this section) shall continue to apply in accordance with this Agreement, including your obligations under clause 4.2.  

5.  Refunds

(a) If you decide to return goods to a Retailer or Third Party Supplier (as applicable), which have been purchased using our Products, and request a refund, or a return and refund are otherwise accepted by the Retailer or Third Party Supplier or permitted by law, you will directly arrange the return with the Retailer or Third Party Supplier, ensuring that the goods are returned according to the Retailer’s or Third Party Supplier’s returns policy or other instructions or your rights at law.

(b) It is your responsibility to notify the Retailer or Third Party Supplier if you intend to return any goods. The return must be completed within the period specified and in the manner required by the Retailer’s or Third Party Supplier’s returns policy or as otherwise permitted by the Retailer or Third Party Supplier.

(c) Unless we are notified by a Retailer or Third Party Supplier that a return and refund is in progress, we will continue to process any Automatic Payments in accordance with the dates set out in your Payment Schedule.

(d) Until such time that the Retailer or Third Party Supplier has confirmed the return of the goods and has issued a refund to us for those goods, you will remain liable to us for the full payment of the goods, in accordance with your Payment Schedule.

(e) Once the Retailer or Third Party Supplier has issued a refund to us for the goods, we will issue a refund to your Nominated Payment Source (or, if that is not possible, to any other Card that you have provided details of) and/or adjust your Payment Schedule appropriately (including to reduce or cancel any future payments, if necessary). Please note, in the event of partial refunds, refund amounts are taken off the last payment/s first. If the refund is processed to your expired or cancelled card, you will need to obtain the returned funds by contacting your financial institution.

For example, if you make a $400 purchase using Afterpay and the retailer approves a $250 refund, we will cancel your 3rd and 4th instalments of $100, and amend your 2nd instalment to $50. Your new payment schedule will become 2 payments (instead of 4) of $100 & $50. If you had already paid 2 instalments of $100 each, a refund of $50 would be applied to your card and the remaining 2 instalments would be cancelled.

When a Retailer issues a refund for a Cross Border Transaction, Afterpay will use the original retail exchange rate (used at the time the order was placed) to determine the refund amount to apply to your Nominated Payment Source for the relevant goods. 

For example, if a New Zealand Retailer charged 100NZD which was converted to $96 as the Original Order Value, if the Retailer issues a refund for 50NZD, your order total and Payment Schedule will be adjusted by $48.

(f) Where you wish to return a product 120 days or more after the purchase date, we will no longer have any involvement in the product return process (i.e. the Retailer will provide any agreed refund directly to you). A longer period will apply where we have agreed a longer period with a Retailer or Third Party Supplier where required based on the nature of the goods or services purchase by you.

 

6.  Assessment and checks

6.1  Assessment

(a) We reserve the right to assess, and determine whether to accept or cancel, each Order in accordance with clause 4.1.

6.2  Repayment capability and identity checks

(a) We reserve the right to verify your identity, including if required under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act. Verifying your identity does not mean we will approve your order (see clause 4.1(a) for other variables that are considered).

(b) You agree to provide any information or documentation reasonably requested by Afterpay, a Retailer or a Third Party Supplier to verify your identity in connection with your Afterpay Account or Orders.

(c) You authorise us to make, directly or through third parties, any enquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and assess your capability to make payments according to the Payment Schedule in relation to all Afterpay Orders. This may include ordering a credit report, performing other repayment capability checks and verifying information you provide against third party databases.

(d) All information that Afterpay collects about you or the recipient you nominate for the Third Party Goods, including information collected in connection with the verification of your identity, will be collected, used and stored in accordance with the Afterpay Privacy Policy (https://www.afterpay.com.au/privacy/).

(e) You authorise Afterpay (or any third parties providing services on behalf of Afterpay) to disclose to third parties, to the extent required by any applicable laws or regulations, any information in relation to you or your Afterpay Account. In addition, you acknowledge that Afterpay reserves the right to report any negative activity on your Afterpay Account (including late payments, missed payments, defaults or chargebacks) to credit reporting agencies.

(f) As part of our approval process and our assessment as to whether or not you have the means to fulfil your obligation to make payments to Afterpay according to the Payment Schedule, we reserve the right to conduct a pre-authorisation of your Nominated Payment Source. This may involve placing funds in the account linked to your Nominated Payment Source on hold each time you make an online purchase, obtain a barcode for an in-store purchase or add a new Card to your Afterpay Account.

For online purchases:

(i) the pre-authorisation amount will not exceed your first instalment (plus one cent) owed to us for that purchase; and
(ii) we immediately instruct your bank to void this pre-authorisation transaction.

For in-store purchases:

(iii) the pre-authorisation amount will not exceed 25% of the value of the barcode (plus one cent); and
(iv) where a barcode is obtained but a purchase does not eventuate, we instruct the bank to void the pre-authorisation transaction upon expiry or cancellation of the barcode.

No funds are received by Afterpay during the pre-authorisation process.

(g) We cannot guarantee the time it takes for your bank to process both the pre-authorisation transaction and our voiding of that transaction.

1. How to establish your humm RCA

1.1 If you don’t already have an RCA with us, by submitting a completed Credit Schedule to an Eligible Merchant or by making an application to join humm using the humm Portal, you:

1. offer to enter this Contract electronically; and
2. consent to providing your acceptance electronically for the purposes of this Contract, the Direct Debit Service Agreement, the Identity Verification and the Privacy Consent.

1.2 If we accept your offer, we will open an RCA in your name and these Terms and Conditions will apply. We may accept your offer by opening an RCA in your name or by sending you a purchase confirmation.

2. How you can use your RCA

2.1 You can use your RCA to purchase Goods or Services from Eligible Merchants.

2.2 You can have a Big Things Limit or a Little Things Limit or both. You can ask us to increase them, but only up to the Maximum Big Things Limit and the Maximum Little Things Limit. We do not have to agree to an increase.

2.3 Subject to these terms, you may drawdown under your RCA to purchase from Eligible Merchants:

1. Big Things up to the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things; and
2. Little Things up to the amount you have Available to Spend on Little Things.

2.4 To make a purchase using your RCA, you must request that we provide an Amount of Credit on the terms specified in a Credit Schedule. That request can be made by submitting a Credit Schedule in relation to a proposed purchase to us via the humm Portal or an Eligible Merchant.

2.5 If we confirm your request, you may complete the purchase using the Amount of Credit for that purchase under your RCA.

2.6 If you request that we provide an Amount of Credit that is more than your Maximum Purchase Amount, we will treat your request as a request to increase your relevant Credit Limit. Subject to these terms, if the limit increase request is approved by us your relevant Credit Limit will increase by that amount.

2.7 You must pay any minimum deposit we require you to pay to the Eligible Merchant for a purchase in order to drawdown under your RCA for that purchase. You will be notified of any minimum required deposit at the time of any proposed purchase.

2.8 You cannot use your RCA to purchase a Big Thing if it will result in you having more than three Outstanding Purchase Amounts relating to purchase of Big Things.

3. When you can't use your RCA for a purchase

3.1 You cannot drawdown under your RCA if:

1. the RCA has been closed or use of the RCA has been suspended or cancelled;
2. you are in Default;.
3. you do not provide any documents we reasonably require from time to time, including identification documents;
4. the Amount of Credit or required deposit is not within the Merchant’s limit as set by us from time to time;we are not reasonably satisfied that the Merchant is entitled to that amount under your contract with the Merchant;the terms upon which the Amount of Credit is to be repaid as set out in the Credit Schedule would not result in the Amount of Credit being repaid in full within the selected term or are otherwise incorrect or incomplete;you have not provided a completed Credit Schedule (including a direct debit authority if we require it);v
5. we suspect that you or another person may have acted fraudulently in connection with your RCA; or
6. it will cause you to exceed the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things or the amount you have Available to Spend on Little Things.

4. The amount you have Available to Spend

4.1 When you purchase a Big Thing with your RCA, the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things is reduced by the Purchase Amount on the Start Date for that purchase, but increases as you make the repayments on any such purchase as described below in clause 4.2.

4.2 When you make a repayment on a purchase it is applied first to paying certain fees and other amounts (see clause 6). When repayments are made on a Purchase Amount for a Big Thing:

1. your Big Things Limit reduces by the amount you repay and increases by the amount by which the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things increases, as set out in sub-clause (b) below; and
2. the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things increases by an amount which corresponds as follows:
    

   Percentage of Purchase Amount repaid	Percent of dollars repaid to Purchase Amount available to make another purchase (i.e. added to the amount you have Available to Spend on Big Things)
   1% to 25%	10%
   26% to 50%	50%
   51% to 75%	75%
   76% to 100%	100%

4.3 At any time you may request that we increase your Little Things Limit up to the Maximum Little Things Limit. We may approve

4.4 When you purchase a Little Thing with your RCA, your Little Things Balance Owing increases by the Purchase Amount and the amount you have Available to Spend on Little Things is reduced by the Purchase Amount on the Start Date for that purchase.

4.5 When repayments are made on a Purchase Amount for a Little Thing, your Little Things Balance Owing decreases by the amount of the repayment after applying any fees and other amount in accordance with clause 7 and the amount you have Available to Spend on Little Things increases by the same amount.

5. Reducing or cancelling your Credit Limit

• 5.1 If you ask us to, we will reduce or cancel your Credit Limit, subject to any minimum limits that apply at the time.
• 5.2 We may, acting reasonably, reduce all or any of your Credit Limit or Available Limit to any amount we choose if:
  1. you are in Default;
  2. we reasonably form the opinion that there may be a material adverse effect for you or us if we do not (including if we have concerns, on reasonable grounds, that you may not be able to meet your obligations under this Contract if you drew down further);
  3. we decide to no longer offer this product or we put an alternative offer to you; or
  4. it is necessary due to a change in law or a code binding us or in interpretation of such a law or code.
     If you are in Default, we do not need to give you notice of this. Otherwise, we will give you one months' notice.

6. Repayments

• 6.1 Once we provide you with a Purchase Amount, you owe us that amount. You must pay to us, in relation to each Purchase Amount:
  1. the repayments in the amount and at the frequency or on the dates specified in the Credit Schedule for the relevant purchase from the Start Date; and
  2. any additional fees not included in the Amount of Credit.
• However, your final required repayment in relation to a Purchase Amount cannot exceed the unpaid amount of that Purchase Amount and any applicable fees. If an amount is due on a day that is not a Business Day or a day that does not exist (e.g. 30 February) you must pay us that amount on the next Business Day.
• 6.2 Each purchase under the RCA will have a separate Purchase Amount and repayments that are payable. The repayment amount stated in the Credit Schedule excludes any government duties applicable to the repayment and does not include any fees or charges payable under this Contract other than the Establishment Fee or Repeat Purchase Fee (if applicable).
• 6.3 We will notify you of the Start Date for each Purchase Amount. The Start Date for a Purchase Amount will typically be the date you submit a Credit Schedule to us.
• 6.4 You must make the repayments by direct debit from the bank account or credit card shown in the Credit Schedule or by any other manner approved by us. If you have more than one Purchase Amount outstanding, we will initiate separate direct debits for the repayment amounts that relate to each Purchase Amount. You must ensure that there are sufficient funds in that account to allow any repayment to be honoured.
• 6.5 You can make repayments or pay fees and charges ahead of time, if you like. For some repayments, you may be given an option in the humm Portal to reschedule the due date for that payment to a later date up to the day before the following repayment is due. However, you can only have one outstanding rescheduled payment at any one time. If you select a new due date for a repayment where that option is available, the payment will be due on the new date selected.
• 6.6 We ordinarily apply a payment received in the following order in repayment of any unpaid amounts to the extent that the relevant items have been charged to your RCA at the time the repayment is processed:
  1. enforcement expenses;
  2. government taxes, duties or charges;
  3. fees payable under this Contract relating to the relevant purchase;
  4. any outstanding Purchase Amounts relating to the relevant purchase;
  5. any other part of the Balance Owing.

• 6.7 If you make a payment to us, and you have made more than one purchase on your RCA, you may nominate the purchase which it relates to. If you do not nominate a purchase, or if you are in Default, we may, acting reasonably, determine which purchase it relates to at our discretion.
• 6.8 If you are in Default, we may make reasonable changes to the amount, method of calculation, number, frequency or time for payment of repayments or period over which repayments are to be paid without your consent in order to remedy any arrears in payment.
• 6.9 All repayments, fees and charges, once paid, are not refundable unless we have received payment in error or you are entitled to a refund under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law.
• 6.10 In the event you sell the goods or property to which the goods purchased with your RCA have been installed or attached to, you are still required to continue to make repayments to us and to pay any related fees and charges until the Total Amount Owing is paid in full, even in the event you are no longer in possession of those goods.

7. Fees and Charges

• 7.1 Subject to clause 7.3, you must pay us:
  1. an Establishment Fee or Repeat Purchase Fee for each purchase of a Big Thing. The fee will be set out in the Credit Schedule for a purchase. The Amount of Credit for a purchase will include the Establishment Fee or Repeat Purchase Fee together with the amount to be paid to the merchant. The fee is repaid as part of the repayments relating to the purchase;
  2. a Monthly Fee of $8.00. This fee is due and payable each month on the first Business Day of each month if the Balance Owing (excluding all amounts in relation to any Short Term Little Thing Purchase) has been greater than zero on any day since the first Business Day of the previous month. This is only charged once each month, regardless of the number of Outstanding Purchase Amounts.
  3. a Late Payment Fee of $6.00 each time a repayment is not paid by the due date for payment;
  4. a Collection Fee of $30.00 each time we take steps to collect an overdue payment;
  5. all additional government stamp and other duties and charges payable on receipts or withdrawals under this Contract; and
  6. any reasonable Costs we reasonably incur in enforcing this Contract after a Default, which includes enforcement expenses reasonably incurred by the use of our staff and facilities.
• 7.2 Notwithstanding any other clause in the Contract, the total amount payable under this Contract for Establishment Fees, Repeat Purchase Fees and Monthly Fees and any other amount payable under this Contract which is a charge for the provision of credit under this Contract, is subject to annual caps. Those caps are:
  1. for the period of twelve (12) months after you enter into the Contract - $200; and
  2. for any subsequent period of twelve (12) months - $125.
  However, the cap is $0 if you have had a previous continuing credit contract with us (or our Associate) in the previous 12 months. These caps will automatically reduce to reflect any lower prescribed maximum charge under section 6(5) of the National Consumer Credit Code or any equivalent statutory provision for contracts of this type.
• 7.3 You authorise us to debit any of these amounts to your RCA. We may do so on or after the date we pay them or the date they become payable by you or us. If they are not already due, they are due when debited to the RCA.

8. Closing your RCA

• 8.1 You may cancel your RCA by written notice to us. You may do this at any time as long as there is no Balance Owing outstanding. Your RCA remains open until you or we cancel it.
• 8.2 We may cancel your RCA if no purchases are made using it for 24 months after the Purchase Amount for all outstanding purchases is repaid. See also clause 9 which enables us to suspend your RCA in some circumstances.
• 8.3 While your RCA remains open, it is only active while there is a Balance Owing. If at any time after you make the initial purchase the Balance Owing is zero, your RCA becomes inactive until you choose to activate it again by making an additional purchase.

9. Suspending your RCA

• 9.1 We may suspend your RCA if:
  1. you are in Default; and
  2. we reasonably suspect that there may be a material adverse impact on you or us if we do not suspend your RCA;
  3. we reasonably suspect that you or someone else has acted fraudulently in connection with this Contract or your RCA;
  4. there is any dispute regarding a transaction under your RCA and we reasonably consider we should suspend to prevent a material adverse impact to you or us; or
  5. we otherwise reasonably consider it to be necessary to protect your or our interests.
• 9.2 We do not need to give you prior notice of a suspension but will promptly inform you afterwards.

10. Default

• 10.1 You are in Default if:
  1. you do not pay on time all amounts due under this Contract within 2 Business Days of their due date;
  2. you or another person on your behalf gives us or has given us materially incorrect or misleading information in connection with this Contract, or we conclude on the basis of evidence available to us that it is more likely than not that you have acted fraudulently in connection with this Contract; or
  3. you become Insolvent or are declared bankrupt or steps are taken to make you bankrupt or Insolvent.
• 10.2 If you are in Default, we may give you a notice stating that you are in Default. If you don’t correct the Default within any period given in the notice, then, at the end of that period and without further notice to you, the Total Amount Owing becomes immediately due for payment (to the extent it is not already due for payment). We may then sue you for that amount and we may cancel your RCA. If we give you notice by sending a document to your last address notified to us this will be considered notice to you even if those notices are returned to us.
• 10.3 Enforcement expenses may become payable under this Contract in the event of a breach of this Contract and are payable in accordance with clause 7.

11. What you do if you dispute a transaction or want to make a complaint
