2. Our service

    1. Shoppers

Pay It Later provides a Buy-Now Pay-Later payment service for individuals (Shoppers) to buy goods and services offered by third party retailers operating a business (Merchants) and individuals offering goods or services personally, not as part of a business (Sellers).

As a Shopper, by placing an order with a Merchant/Seller to purchase goods or services from them using Pay It Later as the payment method (Order), you provide us with an unconditional and irrevocable consent and direction to pay the Merchant/Seller the total amount payable by you to the Merchant/Seller for that Order (including shipping, any taxes, duties or other amounts) (Purchase Price) on your behalf, in exchange for your agreement to pay to us the Purchase Price and other amounts set out herein in accordance with this agreement (Transaction).

You must pay the Purchase Price to us by way of four payments as follows: 

  •  an initial payment of 35% of the Purchase Price when the Order is placed; plus
  1.  three further equal instalments to pay the balance of the Purchase Price, the first such payment being due 7 days after the initial payment in (a) above and each subsequent payment being due 7 days after the previous payment.    

The Purchase Price payable by you, the instalments which the Purchase Price is payable in and the date those instalments are due, are outlined in the Payment Schedule provided to you in the initial email we provide to you after you submit an Order (Payment Schedule). That email also outlines any fees which are applicable to you and when those fees are payable. Details of your Payment Schedule and fees are also available to view via your Pay It Later account accessible via the Site or the App. 

A Shopper may make a purchase from: 

  1. a Merchant online by selecting ‘Pay It Later’ as the payment method when checking out via the Merchant’s website; or
  2. a Merchant instore or from a Seller by completing the following process:
    1. the Merchant or Seller will generate a QR code in the App for the Order;
    2. the Shopper then scans the QR code through the ‘scan’ section of the App and selects their nominated payment method;
    3. once the QR code/Payment Card has been scanned/processed, the proposed Payment Schedule will be provided to the Shopper who will need to follow the prompts within the App to finalise the Transaction;
  3. a Seller, without using a QR code, if the Shopper identifies the Seller as holding a Pay It Later account, by entering the Seller’s email or mobile number when placing the Order. 
  1. Sellers

As a Seller, you may offer Shoppers the option to purchase goods or services from you using Pay It Later as the nominated payment method.  

A ‘Seller’ is an individual who sells to other individuals and is not in the business of selling goods/services. Our separate Merchant Terms and Conditions govern the terms of use for Pay It Later approved merchants using Pay It Later to sell goods or services in conjunction with a business.

As a Seller, to provide a Shopper with the option to pay via Pay It Later, you must download the App and follow the registration process to become a Seller.

Once the Order has been placed as per the process in section 2.1 above, Pay It Later will: 

    1. collect the Purchase Price from the Shopper in the instalments set out in the Shopper’s Payment Schedule;
  • credit your Pay It Later account with the Purchase Price received by Pay It Later from the Shopper (less any fees payable by you to Pay It Later under this agreement) within 35 days after the Order is placed.

You agree not to hold us responsible for things other users post or do. We will review users’ postings regularly and reserve the right to remove any content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene or indecent, or material of any kind which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you. 

Payments

Payments from Buyer to Pay It Later are subject to the ordinary rules set out in Clause 2.1 and 2.2. 

Release of funds into the Seller’s Wallet is subject to confirmation. The Seller will need to confirm that they have handed over the products and the Buyer will need to confirm that they have received the product. The Seller and Buyer are responsible for ensuring that Pay It Later receives confirmation of Order completion. You must allow for sufficient time for us to receive confirmation, before a payment can be processed.

If we have not received confirmation from the Buyer that the goods have been received within__ days, and a dispute has not been opened, we will proceed with processing the payment to the Sellers Account. On the occurrence of this event, Pay It Later will not be liable for transactions between the Buyer and Seller.  

Refunds

Pay It Later do not facilitate product refunds between the Buyer and the Seller. If the Buyer decides to return goods to a Seller, which the Buyer has purchased using the App, and request a refund, or a return and refund are otherwise accepted by the Seller or permitted by law, you will directly arrange the return with the Seller, ensuring that the goods are returned according to the Sellers instructions or your rights at law. Please note, using Pay It Later to pay for any eligible purchase will not affect any of your existing rights to refund under applicable consumer law or otherwise.

Unless we are notified by a Seller or Buyer that a return and refund is in progress, we will continue to process any Automatic Payments in accordance with the dates set out in the Buyer’s Payment Schedule.

Until such time that the Seller has confirmed the return of the goods and has issued a transaction reversal for those goods, the Buyer will still need to make the payments in accordance with your Payment Schedule.

If the funds are still in the Seller’s Wallet at the time we are notified of a refund, Pay It Later reserves the right to freeze the Seller’s Wallet and issue a refund to the Buyer to the Nominated Payment Source and/or adjust your Payment Schedule appropriately. In the event that the funds have been removed from the Wallet, The Buyer and Seller will be responsible for processing all product returns and associated refunds. 

In the event the approved Order is cancelled because a chargeback has been incurred by your Pay It Later in relation to a payment for the approved Order, that payment will not be refunded by Pay It Later. 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;

  1. Fees

A number of fees may be payable by you to Pay It Later when you use Pay It Later, as set out in this agreement. 

 

The amount of each fee described in this section 3 is set out in the Fee Schedule accessible via Buyer & Seller Fees (P2P) | Pay It Later.

 

In our sole discretion, we reserve the right to change any fees charged for use of Pay It Later at any time. The amended fees will apply to any Orders placed 7 days after notice of the fee variation is given to you.

 

Unless otherwise stated herein, fees are quoted in Australian dollars.

 

We may set off any amount payable to you against any amount payable to us by you.

 

We will pay any monies payable to you under this agreement to your Pay It Later ‘digital wallet’ connected with your Pay It Later account (Wallet). We may charge your Wallet and/or your nominated payment method within your Pay It Later account for any amount outstanding you owe us, a Seller, Merchant or Shopper.
   

  1. Shopper fees for P2P

As a Shopper you must pay to us a service fee in addition to the Purchase Price for each purchase you make from a Seller (Service Fee). For the sake of clarity, there is no equivalent service fee payable by a Shopper for an Order placed with a Merchant. 

The Service Fee is calculated and added to your Payment Schedule when you place an Order. The Service Fee is payable at the same time and in the same instalments that the Purchase Price is payable. 

  1. Seller fees for P2P

As a Seller you must pay to us a seller protection fee for each Order placed with you by a Shopper (Seller Protection Fee). The Seller Protection Fee will be deducted from the Purchase Price we collect for the relevant Order. Please note that the Seller Protection Fee does not provide you with any kind of risk insurance or other guarantee in relation to an Order.

  1. Withdrawal Fees

You may withdraw funds held in your Wallet to your nominated bank account via your Pay It Later Account. You must pay us a fee for each withdrawal processed (Withdrawal Fee). The Withdrawal Fee will be deducted from the amount which is being withdrawn at the time of the withdrawal. 

  1. Late Fees

As a Shopper, you may be charged a fee in the amount of $10 if you do not abide by the Payment Schedule (Late Fees).

You will be charged Late Fees (up to two times) on each payment missed in the Payment Schedule.

To avoid application of Late Fees to your account, you should ensure there are sufficient funds in your account at the time we attempt to process payment.

Late fees are applied to failed payments. If a repayment on the Payment Schedule is still unpaid 24 hours after it became due according to the Payment Schedule, a $10 Late Fee is applied.

If a repayment is unpaid 7 days after it became due under the Payment Schedule, a further $10 Late Fee is applied.

You authorise us to use the preferred payment method provided by you (and verified by us at the time you placed your Order) to charge the Late Fees or we may deduct those fees from your Wallet. 

No interest charges are ever payable by you when using Pay It Later.

3. Seller’s Obligations 

    1. Know Your Customer

You must upload ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) information to your Pay It Later account to become a Seller. We will request the KYC information and certified supporting documentation at the time you register as a Seller. Where the required information is not uploaded to your account, your credit balance will be inaccessible until such time as the requested KYC information is provided and we may not process an Order until the KYC information is received.

KYC information is personal information, which will include information such as but not limited to:

Where we identify you as the creator of multiple accounts, payments made with second and subsequent accounts (according to date created) may be attributed to the primary (first created) account and associated outstanding Orders. Where there are overdue debts on an account, we may refuse to process Orders on any or all accounts we determine are associated with you until those overdue debts are settled.

5. Orders and payments by Shopper

    1. Orders and Payments

As a Shopper, when you place an Order with a Merchant and/or Seller using Pay It Later, you:

  • direct us to pay the Merchant and/or Seller on your behalf;
  • agree to repay the amounts set out in your Payment Schedule, plus any fees applied to your account in full in accordance with the Payment Schedule and this agreement;
  1. authorise us to automatically attempt to process the amounts payable by you when due under this agreement by charging the Australian debit/credit card nominated by you in your Pay It Later account (Payment Method).

You understand that we may vary the dates on which we attempt to process payments to account for non-business days, public holidays, leap years and to re-attempt charging the Payment Method where previous attempts have been unsuccessful. 

You will receive your Payment Schedule via email and the App, with dates and amounts due for your planning. We may periodically remind you that payments are due.

The authority you provide under this agreement for us to charge your Payment Method is ongoing unless and until your account is closed and all amounts owing thereunder are paid in full.  

Where you are liable to pay us any fees (such as cancellation or Late Fees) under this agreement, unless this agreement specifies a different date for payment in relation to those particular fees, we will attempt to charge your Payment Method for those fees:

  1. on the next scheduled payment date under your Payment Schedule for the associated Order;
  2. if there is no next scheduled payment date, on or after the date which is 7 days after the fee was incurred. 
  1. Pay It Later Card 

When you place an Order in store or in person, payment may be processed by acceptance of your Pay It Later Payment Card by selecting it as your nominated payment method within the App. 

Your Payment Card can be set up via the App and added to your Apple or Google Wallet.  The Merchant or Seller may process payment via the Payment Card in the same way they would any Australian bank card. 

When an Order is placed using a Payment Card, subject to the other terms of this agreement, we will make payment of the Purchase Price to the Seller/Merchant on your behalf and you must make payments to us for that Order pursuant to the process in clause 2.1. 

  1. Cancellation of Order

Except where an Order is required to be cancelled by law, if you, as a Shopper, cancel a P2P Order you will incur a fee of $25 for our administrative costs associated with that P2P Order.

  1. Orders subject to our approval

Orders are subject to our approval, and may be declined, cancelled or reversed at our sole discretion which may include reasons such as, but not limited to:

  • your account with us being overdue;
  • outstanding fees;
    1. preventing fraud;
  • protecting the integrity of our brand; 
    1. limiting the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing;
  • your Debt Limit being exceeded;
  1. you do not meet legal, regulatory, non-payment verifications or checks;
  2. we reasonably suspect (or are put on notice) you have breached this agreement;
  3. an Order is made with a Merchant or Seller not approved by us or in a different jurisdiction not supported by us; 
  4. we consider the Order suspicious or that it may be in violation of any law or third-party rights;
  5. a Payment Method not accepted by Pay It Later is nominated. 

If we cancel an approved Order for any of the above reasons, we may refund any amount you the Shopper has paid for that Order to the Payment Method used to verify the Order and may cancel any future payments to be made pursuant to the Payment Schedule (provided the goods or services have not yet been provided). 

At our discretion, we may still deduct, from the Purchase Price paid, any fees payable to us in connection with the Order if you are at fault for the cancellation including a $25 administrative fee. 

If you are the Seller in relation to that Order, we will advise you of the cancelled Order and grounds for cancellation as soon as practicable.

Notwithstanding the above, if we cancel an Order on the grounds we believe it is fraudulent (such as an Order to and from accounts associated with the same person), we have the right to withhold payment pending the outcome of our investigation into the matter and those funds may be seized where required by law or order of a government agency.

    1. Closing your Account
      1. You may request that we close your Pay It Later account by contacting us directly. You may only request to close your Pay It Later account if:
    • all amounts owing have been paid in full;
    • no disputes or refunds are being processed;
    • no investigations are pending in relation to your finances or account.
        1. We may restrict your account from placing or accepting further Orders at any time at our discretion. 
        2. We may close your Pay It Later account at our discretion by notice to you, provided that any outstanding Orders are first finalised (unless we are closing your account due to an act or omission by you in which case we are not obliged to ensure any Orders are finalised). 

       

      1. Settlement of account

      To settle an outstanding customer account (including fees), we may at our discretion:

      • charge your preferred Payment Method;
      • charge other Payment Methods we have on file for you (if the preferred Payment Method is repeatedly unsuccessful);
      • hold further Orders, and offset the amount paid for further Orders against the amount owing;
      • offset the amount owed against any payments we send you;
      • employ any other legal means, including debt recovery agencies.
      1. Amendment of Payment Schedule

      As a Shopper, you may request an amendment to your Payment Schedule for an Order by contacting our Support Team. A $25 fee per Order for amending the Payment Schedule (Amendment Fee) applies, which will be charged via your Payment Method. 

      You may only request an amendment to the Payment Schedule once for each Order. We reserve the right to deny your request to amend the Payment Schedule. 

      1. Refunds for product or service 

      If a Shopper wishes to receive a refund for a product or service from the Merchant and/or Seller 22 days or more after the Order is placed:

      • the refund is carried out by the Merchant and/or Seller (not by Pay It Later);
      • it is your responsibility to notify the Merchant and/or Seller, arrange a return with the Merchant and/or Seller and carry out the return in the manner required by Merchant and/or Seller return policy or as permitted under your consumer rights (if applicable).

      If you wish to receive a refund for a product or service from the Merchant and/or Seller less than 22 days after the Order is fulfilled:

      • The Merchant and/or Seller will inform us of the amount of the refund;
      • We will refund the amounts you have paid in cleared funds under the Payment Schedule to your Payment Method; and
      • Once the refund has been completed, the remaining repayments under the Payment Schedule will be cancelled.
      • If you request a partial refund from the Merchant and/or Seller we may adjust your Payment Schedule by giving notice to you.
      • If we are not informed by the Merchant and/or Seller that a refund is in progress, we will continue to process payments according to your Payment Schedule.
      1. No refunds not directed by Merchant/Seller

      As a Shopper, except where a Merchant/Seller directs us to provide you with a refund, we will not refund the Purchase Price or any other payment made to us by you (including, without limitation, charges made pursuant to your Payment Schedule, Late Fees or Amendment Fees), unless you provide sufficient evidence that those payments were made in error (i.e. the amount you were charged was inconsistent with your Payment Schedule), or you are entitled to a refund from us under any applicable law.

      Notwithstanding the above, to the extent permitted by law, we disclaim any liability to provide a refund of any amount where an Order is cancelled due to a request made to the Shopper’s credit or debit issuer to reverse the transaction associated with that Order.  

      1. Cross Border Transactions

      If you make a cross border transaction (ie. make a purchase from outside of Australia) Pay It Later will convert the Merchant and/or Seller’s price for the goods into your local currency using a retail exchange rate provided by Pay It Later at our discretion to determine the value of the Transaction and the amounts payable by you in accordance with your Payment Schedule. The exchange rate selected by Pay It Later will change regularly to reflect the currency fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.

      Pay It Later will not charge you any set up fees or foreign exchange commission on the exchange rate applied to perform the Cross Border Transaction.

      1. Assessment Criteria

      We may actively assess your capability to make repayments. We may do this by: 

      1. making enquiries to third parties;
      2. accessing your banking transaction history and other financial data (Banking Data);
      3. credit reports;
      4. fraud scoring; and 
      5. identity verification.

      Regardless of our findings pursuant to this clause, we reserve the right to assess, and determine whether to accept or cancel, each Order in accordance with clause 6.4.

      1. Seller’s access to funds
        1. Sellers Withdrawing Funds

      Each withdrawal request submitted by you as a Seller is final and not reversible.

      A period of 7 days must elapse, before funds are credited to your Account.  In the event of a dispute from a Shopper, funds will not be credited, until the dispute has been resolved.

      You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information provided for the purposes of withdrawal, which will be made by bank transfer.

      You must provide us with KYC information. We will request the KYC information and certified supporting documentation. Where the required information is not provided to us, your Account balance will be inaccessible until such time as the requested KYC information is provided.

      1. Funds credited by error

      If funds are credited to your account by us, and you have no legal right to those funds, you must notify us within 10 business days of those funds being credited to your account. 

      We reserve the right to adjust, reverse or cancel the transfer of funds from us to you, where you have no legal rights to those funds, or the transfer was otherwise made in error or was inconsistent with the terms of this agreement and you must take all reasonable steps to assist us with this process.

      1. Cancellation of orders by Pay It Later on Seller’s request

      If you, as a Seller request that we cancel an Order within 7 days of the Order being made, we will:

      1. advise you as soon as possible that the Order has been cancelled;
      2. refund any funds received by us from the Shopper; 
      3. terminate the Payment Schedule; and 
      4. charge you a fee of $25 for our administrative costs associated with that Order (unless the Order is required to be cancelled by law).

      1. advising how we propose to resolve your complaint; 
      2. requesting further details; or 
      3. dismissing your complaint on the basis of insufficient grounds.  

      Please allow at least 45 days for us to respond to your complaint before seeking any alternative dispute resolution measures.

      You acknowledge that we do not have any control over and are not responsible nor liable for the products or services purchased by you as a Shopper from a Merchant and/or Seller or the products you choose to provide as a Seller. We are not liable for any Order that is not finalised, completed or delivered by a Merchant and/or Seller or Shopper. As such, Pay It Later does not:

      Where our liability under this agreement cannot be fully disclaimed, our liability for any claim, loss, cost or damage you suffer in connection with Pay It Later (howsoever caused, including by our negligence), is capped at the total fees paid by you to us in the 12 months prior to the claim, loss, cost or damage arising.

Where such non-waivable rights apply, and where permitted by law, we limit our maximum liability, at our option, to the supply of our services again or the payment of the cost of having our services supplied again. This limitation only applies to guarantees under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) of Australia.

      1. GST exclusive

      Except under this clause, the consideration for a Supply made under or in connection with this document does not include GST.

      2. the Supplier must give the Recipient a Tax Invoice for the Supply.
      1. Later GST change

      For clarity, the GST payable under clause 19 is correspondingly increased or decreased by any subsequent adjustment to the amount of GST for the Supply for which the Supplier is liable, however caused.
