(i) we are or at any time become aware of that or the use of your Afterpay Account not being authorised by you;
(ii) there is a dispute, breach, defect or another issue about the Order, the products or services subject to the Order or the associated sales contract or any other agreement between that person and the Retailer; or
(iii) Any rights or claims that the Retailer or we may have against that person.

Except to the extent, any use of your Afterpay Account by such a person is due to our negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

(j) Immediately contact us if you believe that your Afterpay Account may be subject to an unauthorised transaction, account takeover or another type of fraudulent activity or security breach;

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); or

(iv) 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 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, concerning 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.

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.

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.

 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.

Interest

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

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.

Refunds

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

(b) It is your responsibility to notify the Retailer 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 returns policy or as otherwise permitted by the retailer.

(c) Unless we are notified by a Retailer 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 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 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.

(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).

Assessment

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

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 or a Retailer 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 the information you provide against third party databases.

(d) All information that Afterpay collects about you, 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.

(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).

(d) Except as otherwise stated, this Agreement will be terminated once your Afterpay Account is closed. However, you will remain liable for all outstanding obligations related to the Afterpay Account even after it has been closed.

(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

(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:

(i) all amounts you owe to us have been paid to us; or
(ii) the date which is 120 days after your last Order whichever is sooner. After that time, the Retailer will be solely responsible for processing all product returns and associated refunds.
