(i) before the change takes effect; or


(ii) within 5 Working Days of the change taking effect if the change is one that reduces the obligations that you would otherwise have, or extends the time for any payment to us (in either case, other than as a result of a Hardship Application), or increases or decreases your Spend Limit,

(i) before the change takes effect if it is detrimental for you, subject to clause 10.1(a); or

(d) Where to find these Terms - The current version of these Terms is available on our Website.

(a) We may vary these Terms at any time (including varying the Fees). We will only vary these Terms for the following reasons: (i) if we change the functionality of our Products in a way that impacts these Terms; (ii) if we introduce new products or remove existing products that impact these Terms; (iii) where required by law or regulation or a regulator; or (iv) for any other reason determined by Afterpay acting reasonably. Where the variation is material and/or to your detriment, we will provide you with at least 30 Business Days’ prior personal notice of the variation, unless the variation is to introduce new Fees or increase existing Fees, in which case, we will give you at least 40 Business Days’ prior personal notice. If you do not wish to be bound by the variation, you are free to close your Afterpay Account (or if you have outstanding amounts owing to us, deactivate and then close your Afterpay Account as described in clause 3.4), without penalty or additional fees, within the applicable notice period. See clause 9 for how we provide personal notice. We may also place the notification, including by way of pop-ups or banners, on any Website. There may be instances beyond our reasonable control where we cannot give you prior notice, for example, where we are instructed by a regulator to implement a change immediately. We will personally notify you of the change as soon as we can. Where the variation is not material and/or to your detriment (so it is to your benefit or is neutral), we may notify you after we have made the change or not give you any notice (for example, where the change is immaterial).

3.4 Closing and deactivating your Afterpay Account

Please take note: Closing your Afterpay Account means that you will no longer be able to perform any new transactions, make any changes to your Afterpay Account, view your Afterpay Account details or obtain your transaction history in the Afterpay App or Web Portal. You cannot close your Afterpay Account if you have any Amounts You Owe (including Late Fees) and we will continue to draw Automatic Payments in accordance with your Payment Schedule and for Late Fees when they fall due (if applicable) until you pay us the Total Amount You Owe.


(a) Closing or deactivating your Afterpay Account -

(i) You can close your Afterpay Account at any time by contacting us directly for any reason (including where we are making unilateral changes under clause 1.4(b) or (c)) if you have paid all outstanding Amounts You Owe (which includes any Late Fees) in full.


(ii) If you have any Amounts You Owe, you can ask us to deactivate your Afterpay Account so that you cannot place a new Order with us, and you will be able to close your Afterpay Account once you have paid the Total Amount You Owe (which includes any Late Fees) by contacting us directly.


(iii) Subject to clause 3.4(b) below, closing your Account will mean these Terms no longer apply and the Agreement ends. Once your account is closed, you will no longer be able to perform any new transactions, make any changes to your Afterpay Account, view your Afterpay Account details or obtain your transaction history in the Afterpay App, Web Portal. Depending on how long your account has been closed, we may be able to provide these details to you if you contact us.

We will consider a number of factors in considering your request for unsuspension, including any risk to the integrity of our systems or the Products and past breaches of the Agreement (including by failing to pay an Amount You Owe when due). If we choose to unsuspend your Afterpay Account, we may reduce your Spend Limit in accordance with clause 2.1(b)(ii).          


4 Orders, payments, fees and costs


4.1 Orders are subject to our approval, confirmation of Orders, and Payment Schedule

(a) Orders are subject to our approval - All Orders are subject to our approval and cancellation, in our reasonable discretion (also see clause 4.1(b) below).

(b) Cancelling an approved Order - If we cancel an approved Order:

(i) we will apply a full refund of any amounts you have paid to us to your Preferred Payment Method 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 we’ve incurred a chargeback in relation to a payment for the approved Order, we won’t refund that payment and any return of funds will be between you and your issuing bank. The Retailer will not be obliged to deliver the goods (or provide the services) in respect of that Order, unless required to do so by law;


(ii) you will have no obligation to make any further payments to us, or have 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) Payment Schedule - Once we approve your Order, we will display your Payment Schedule in the App and on the Web Portal. We may also send you an email to the email address you have registered with your Afterpay Account with confirmation of receipt of your Order, payment of the First Instalment (where it is payable at the time of the Order) and the Payment Schedule.


4.2 Payments, your responsibility for sufficient funds and related fees

(a) How we take payment - You agree that we are authorised to and you instruct Afterpay to:


(i) process your Automatic Payments; and

(b) Payments from any Payment Method and agreement to reattempt - You agree to ensure that all payments are made in accordance with this clause 4 and the relevant Payment Schedule, and that Late Fees are paid. You may make early payments through your Afterpay Account, otherwise Afterpay will automatically process payments in accordance with the due dates stated on the relevant Payment Schedule. If an Automatic Payment fails on any of the dates specified in your Payment Schedule or in respect of a Late Fee when due, you agree that Afterpay may and you instruct Afterpay to, re-attempt to process the payment, including at a later time or date using any Payment Method you have provided until the outstanding Amount You Owe is paid. There may be restrictions on removing a Preferred Payment Method until all Amounts You Owe have been paid.


(c) Making Recurring Payments - Where an Automatic Payment relates to Recurring Payment amounts, you agree to and instruct Afterpay to pay the relevant Retailer from your Preferred Payment Method through your Afterpay Account. When you select Afterpay as your payment method for a Recurring Payment, you authorise Afterpay to be the default way to pay for future Recurring Payments with that Retailer until you inform the Retailer otherwise. You acknowledge that you are giving us the ability to collect or reverse variable payment amounts from or to your Preferred Payment Method, in accordance with your Payment Schedule and these Terms.



(d) Cancelling Recurring Payments - If you wish to cancel any goods or services offered by a Retailer that is structured as a Recurring Payment, you will be responsible for contacting the Retailer directly to cancel this in accordance with the Retailer’s policies. You may cancel any Recurring Payment amount by notifying us within 2 days of the next scheduled payment by contacting us via the App or at help.afterpay.com. By contacting Afterpay to cancel any scheduled Recurring Payment amount, Afterpay will also cancel any further Recurring Payments that you have for goods or services offered by that Retailer to you. You are responsible for any outstanding amounts or obligations imposed by the Retailer on you as a result of your cancellation of the Recurring Payment amounts.


(e) Sufficient funds and responsibility for related fees and charges - You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds in your Preferred Payment Method available to make Automatic Payments on the dates specified in your Payment Schedule and to pay Late Fees (if applicable) when due. You are liable for any fees or charges imposed by your Preferred Payment Method (e.g. interest charges on a nominated credit card), 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. 


(f) Failure of Automatic Payment - In addition to the other rights we have under these Terms, if an Automatic Payment fails (for example, if your Preferred Payment Method is a credit or debit card that has expired) you agree that we will, and instruct us to, satisfy any monetary liability you owe us by:

(i) offsetting the payment amount against any amounts we may owe to you; or


(ii) any other legal means.


(g) Updated Payment Method - You acknowledge and agree that Afterpay may use network tokens to manage the Payment Method details provided by you for any Preferred Payment Method from time to time, including that Afterpay may receive and use an updated expiry date and card number, where applicable. Following any update, you authorise Afterpay to continue to charge the applicable Payment Method(s) using the updated details.


4.3 Late Fees     


The calculation and application of Late Fees are set out in Schedule 1 to these Terms and may be amended from time to time in accordance with clause 5 of Schedule 1.

4.4 Cross Border Transactions


Where we offer you the ability to use our Products to make a Cross Border Transaction, we will convert what the Retailer charges into New Zealand dollars to determine the Original Order Value and the amounts payable by you in accordance with your Payment Schedule at the retail exchange rate used, which is the average of the bid rate offered by the four largest retail banks in New Zealand. The Retailer may show you their local currency and / or New Zealand dollar amounts when you make your order.

5 Features


5.1 Higher Upfront Payment


(a) Where the Original Order Value exceeds your approved Spend Limit with Afterpay, you may be offered the option to pay an instalment at the time of purchase which is higher than the other instalments (“Higher Upfront Payment”).


(b) If clause 5.1(a) applies to your Order, the Higher Upfront Payment will display prior to you confirming the Order. 


5.2 No Payment Upfront Feature

(a) No Payment Upfront Feature - This feature allows you to defer your First Instalment on an eligible Order from the Order date to a later date as set out in your Payment Schedule (“No Payment Upfront Feature”).   


(b) Eligibility criteria for Order - An eligible Order for the No Upfront Payment Feature means an Order meets certain criteria, including:

(i) your Afterpay Account is accepted as a form of payment by a merchant;


(ii) the Order must total $500 or less including any taxes, shipping and other charges;


(iii) the Order must not be for a Gift Card; and


(iv) the type of Order, Retailer and/or Third Party Retailer meets our risk requirements.


(c) Availability of feature at our discretion - We have the discretion as to whether to make the No Payment Upfront Feature available to you (also see clauses 5.3(e) and (f) below). If we do make the feature available to you:


(i) the App and Web Portal will show that the feature is active; and


(ii) we may send you a communication confirming you have access to the feature.


(d) How you can turn the feature on and off - If we make the No Payment Upfront Feature available to you, you can turn the feature on or off at any time within the Afterpay App, except where we have decided to deactivate the feature in accordance with this clause 5.2, in which case the feature can only be reactivated by Afterpay.


(e) We will decide whether to make the feature available - We can choose whether to make the No Payment Upfront Feature available to you (whether for the first time or in considering whether to reactivate the feature after a deactivation in accordance with clause 5.2(f)). In deciding this, Afterpay will consider a range of factors, including whether:

(i) you have held an existing Afterpay Account in New Zealand for more than 1 year;


(ii) you have not made a Hardship Application or received relief in respect of Hardship in the past year;


(iii) you have had fewer than 6 times that you have not paid an Amount You Owe or First Instalment when due in the past 6 months; and

     

(iv) your payment behaviours and use of the Product, including whether you make regular Orders.


(f) We will decide whether to deactivate the feature - If you have access to the No Payment Upfront Feature and do not make your payments when they are due (unless solely due to our error), we may deactivate the No Payment Upfront Feature without prior notice to you. Acting reasonably, we may also deactivate the feature without prior notice to you where we consider that deactivation is reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate interests (which include the commercially reasonable management of our Products and the management of certain risks, including the credit, operational and regulatory risks we are exposed to when providing this Product to you). If we deactivate the feature, this may be communicated to you and / or we may let you know in the App.



5.3 Preferred Payment Day

(a) Selection of Preferred Payment Day - When made available, you may (or if clause 5.3(d) applies, we may) select your preferred day of the week (“Preferred Payment Day”) on which payment due dates in respect of each Order are to fall.


(b) Timing of payments - Once the Preferred Payment Day is set, your Payment Schedule for each subsequent Order completed will reflect the Preferred Payment Day, subject to the following:


(i) If you have access to the No Payment Upfront Feature and it is active:

(A) the First Instalment for an eligible Order will be due on the Preferred Payment Day that falls immediately after the date of your Order plus 1 week; and


(B) each remaining instalment will be due fortnightly thereafter, or as otherwise set out in your Payment Schedule.


(ii) If you do not have access to the No Payment Upfront Feature:

(A) the First Instalment will be due on the completion of your Order;


(B) the second instalment will be due on the next Preferred Payment Day that falls at least 2 weeks from the date of your Order; and


(C) each remaining instalment will be due fortnightly thereafter, or as otherwise set out in your Payment Schedule.


(c) Applies to future orders only - Once the Preferred Payment Day is set, it will only apply to future Orders. Payments in respect of any existing Orders will continue to be payable in accordance with the existing Payment Schedule, subject to your ability (if any) to change the due date of a payment yourself via the App or Web Portal, or any request you make to Afterpay to change the payment dates, which Afterpay may accept or reject in its discretion.


(d) When we will select Preferred Payment Day - If you do not select your preferred day when the feature is available, we will default your Preferred Payment Day to a day we choose.  


(e) Changing Preferred Payment Day - You may amend your Preferred Payment Day for future Orders at any time in the Afterpay App.


5.4 Spend Cap

Once the feature is released, we will allow you to create a Spend Cap in the App. The Spend Cap does not impact your Spend Limit (which we may increase or decrease in accordance with these Terms). You are in control of your Spend Cap and once the feature is released, you may change the amount of the Spend Cap and turn it on or off at any time.


6 Returns and refunds


6.1  Returning items


If you decide to return goods to a Retailer or Third Party Supplier (as applicable), which goods have been purchased using our Products, and request a refund, or a return and/or refund are otherwise accepted by the Retailer 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 the policies of an online marketplace) or other instructions or your rights at law. Please note, using Afterpay to pay for any eligible purchase will not affect any of your existing rights to refund under applicable consumer law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to return goods if you are seeking a refund on the basis that the Retailer did not deliver the goods to you.


6.2 Your responsibility for returns and refunds

It is your responsibility to notify the Retailer or Third Party Supplier if you intend to return any goods or request a refund for goods or services. The return or refund must be completed within the period specified and in the manner required by the Retailer’s or Third Party Supplier’s returns policy (or the online marketplace’s policies, if applicable) or as otherwise permitted by the Retailer, the Third Party Supplier or by law.


6.3 We will process Automatic Payments unless notified

Unless we are notified by a Retailer or Third Party Supplier (or the provider of an online marketplace, if applicable) that a return (if applicable) and refund is in progress, we will continue to process any Automatic Payments in accordance with the dates set out in your Payment Schedule. Late Fees will apply in accordance with these Terms if you miss a payment, even if you are seeking a refund.


6.4 When you’ll remain liable for payment

Subject to your obligation to pay Late Fees in accordance with these terms, until such time that the Retailer or Third Party Supplier (or the provider of an online marketplace, if applicable) has confirmed the return of the goods or that the services have not been provided (if applicable) and has issued a transaction reversal / refund, you will remain liable to us for the full Amount You Owe in respect of that Order, in accordance with your Payment Schedule.


6.5 When we’ll issue a refund

Once the Retailer or Third Party Supplier has confirmed a refund is payable, we will issue a refund to your Preferred Payment Method (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). If the refund is processed to a Preferred Payment Method that is an expired or cancelled Card, you will need to obtain the returned funds by contacting your financial institution. Please note, in the event of partial refunds, refund amounts are taken off the last outstanding payment/s that you owe to us first.


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 Preferred Payment Method for the relevant goods. 


For example, if an Australian Retailer charged 100AUD which was converted to $110 as the Original Order Value, if the Retailer issues a refund for 50AUD, your Order total and Payment Schedule will be adjusted by $55.


6.6 Longer term returns

Notwithstanding the other clauses in these Terms and the Agreement, where you 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 or Third Party Supplier or online marketplace, as applicable, 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 or online marketplace, as applicable where required based on the nature of the goods or services purchased by you.


6.7 Returns and Afterpay Account Closure

If your Afterpay Account has been closed for any reason, both you and we will do what’s set out in this clause 6 until:

(a) you have paid the Total Amount You Owe (where we have closed your Afterpay Account); or 


(b) if it’s earlier, 120 days after your last Order (or a later date as we have agreed with a Retailer or Third Party Supplier or online marketplace), as applicable, where required based on the nature of the goods or services purchased by you.


After that, you’ll work solely and directly with the Retailer or Third Party Supplier or online marketplace, as applicable, will be solely responsible for processing all returns and associated refunds and if they refund any amount through your Afterpay Account, we will issue that amount to what was your Preferred Payment Method prior to the closure of your Afterpay Account. However, if we receive a refund as set out in clause 6.5, we will pay you that refund.


7 Checks and processing

7.1 Identity checks

We reserve the right to verify your identity, including in accordance with the requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009. You cannot use our Products until such time as your identity verification has been completed. Verifying your identity does not mean we will approve your Order (see clause 4.1(a) for other things that we consider).


7.2 Provision of information and documentation

You agree to provide any information or documentation reasonably requested by Afterpay or a Retailer or a Third Party Supplier to verify your identity in connection with creating any Orders or the ongoing use of your Afterpay Account. The provision of your driver licence number is voluntary, but if you do not provide your driver licence number (or any other identity information we reasonably request) to Afterpay, we may not be able to verify your identity, and you may not be able to use Afterpay’s Products. 


7.3 We may make enquiries

You authorise us to make, directly or through third parties, any enquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and to assess your capability to make payments according to the Payment Schedule in relation to any Order. This may include performing repayment capability checks and verifying information you provide to us against third party databases.


7.4 Information collected, used, stored and disclosed in accordance with our Privacy Policy

See the Afterpay Privacy Policy for details on how information that Afterpay collects about you or the recipient you nominate for Third Party Goods, including information collected in connection with the verification of your identity, will be collected, used, stored and disclosed (https://www.afterpay.com/en-NZ/privacy-policy).


7.5 You authorise disclosure

11 Definitions

$ means New Zealand dollars.

These Afterpay Plus Terms and Conditions (“Afterpay Plus Terms”) govern your Afterpay Plus subscription. Any defined terms contained herein shall have the same meaning as those in these Terms. If you do not agree to these Afterpay Plus Terms you may not be a subscriber of Afterpay Plus or receive any of the benefits of the Afterpay Plus subscription. The Afterpay Plus Terms shall apply, if necessary, to resolve any disputes between you and Afterpay related to your participation in the Afterpay Plus subscription. Afterpay may amend these Afterpay Plus Terms at any time in accordance with clause 1.3 of these Terms. If you do not agree to any varied Afterpay Plus Terms, you may cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription in accordance with the process outlined below. Afterpay Plus cannot be accessed through the Web Portal.

Eligibility

In addition to the eligibility criteria outlined in clause 2.4 above, to be an Afterpay Plus subscriber:

  • you must have an existing Afterpay Account in Australia for more than 90 days;
  • you must have made at least one successful Afterpay purchase;
  • you may only have a maximum of 2 late repayments in the last 180 days.

For the purposes of paying instalments of Afterpay Plus transactions, you must have a Nominated Payment Source from which Automatic Payments can be taken. You do not need to have an Afterpay Card to apply for Afterpay Plus.

Afterpay reserves the right to approve or deny any application for Afterpay Plus at its sole discretion. If your Afterpay Account is closed in accordance with these Terms for any reason, your Afterpay Plus subscription will also be terminated, and any consequences of cancelling your Afterpay Plus subscription will apply (see “Cancelling your Afterpay Plus subscription” below).

Payment and Fees

The Afterpay Plus subscription fee is $9.99/month (or an amended fee as notified by us to you in accordance with clause 1.3 of these Terms). If you do not wish to be bound by the variation, you are free to terminate your Afterpay Plus subscription or close your Afterpay Account (or if you have outstanding amounts owing to us, deactivate and then close your Afterpay Account as described in clause 3.4 of these Terms), without penalty or additional fees, prior to the renewal subscription period in which the variation is to take effect. This fee will be charged and payable by you from the date you sign up to Afterpay Plus (and on the same day, or next Business Day if applicable, each month) and your Afterpay Plus subscription is confirmed by Afterpay via email and in the App. You will be charged this monthly fee using the Payment Method you selected when signing up for Afterpay Plus. You can update or change your Payment Method for your Afterpay Plus subscription at any time via your Afterpay Account.

You acknowledge and understand that your Afterpay Plus subscription will automatically renew at the end of each month for a further monthly term and your selected Payment Method will be charged this monthly fee, unless cancelled by Afterpay or you. Any renewal is non-transferable and non-refundable. This is subject to your rights to a refund and our liability to you pursuant to: your Consumer Rights (see clause 2.2 of these Terms); circumstances where there may be any failure to generate or add the Afterpay Plus Card to your digital wallet following your payment to us; or our breach of these Terms. It is also subject to any express rights of refund under the Afterpay Plus Terms or where Afterpay agrees otherwise to provide a refund. 

If you fail to make any payment on the due date, you will be provided 7 days to ensure this payment is successful. If the payment is subsequently successful within this period, your subscription will renew from the date you initially signed up or renewed your Afterpay Plus subscription, and not the date the payment was successfully made by you. If the 7-day period has elapsed and you have still failed to make any applicable payment, your Afterpay Plus subscription will be cancelled by Afterpay, and you will lose any associated Afterpay Plus benefits from the applicable month for which the payment relates. With respect to the Afterpay Plus Card, this will revert to an Afterpay Card that can be used for in-store purchases with Retailers who offer Afterpay, as outlined in clause 3.3 above.

Vorteile

As an Afterpay Plus subscriber, you will receive access to the Afterpay Plus Card. The Afterpay Plus Card enables you to use Afterpay as a method for payment with merchants who accept Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay, subject to certain merchant or product exclusions.

Pausing your Afterpay Plus subscription

You may pause your Afterpay Plus subscription at any time in accordance with these Terms within the “My Afterpay” section of the Afterpay App. This will place a temporary hold on your access to Afterpay Plus benefits (including Afterpay Plus Card) from the next monthly payment date and you will not be charged the Afterpay Plus subscription fee for the following monthly term. When your Afterpay Plus subscription is paused, your Afterpay Plus Card will revert to an Afterpay Card that can be used for in-store purchases with Retailers who offer Afterpay, as outlined in clause 3.3 above.

You will be able to select whether you want to pause your subscription for either 1, 2 or 3 months. Your Afterpay Plus subscription can only be paused once per 12 month period, commencing from the previous pause date.

Cancelling your Afterpay Plus subscription

You may cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription at any time within the “My Afterpay” section of the Afterpay App. To avoid any future charges for Afterpay Plus, cancellation must occur prior to the applicable renewal date. 

If you cancel after you have made the initial payment to become an Afterpay Plus subscriber or where your subscription has renewed at the end of a term:

  • subject to your Consumer Rights, circumstances where there may be any failure to generate or add the Afterpay Plus Card to your digital wallet following your payment to us, our liability to you for our breach of these Terms or as otherwise reasonably agreed between you and Afterpay, you will not be refunded any amounts paid for this Afterpay Plus subscription regardless of whether you have used any Afterpay Plus benefit during this term - this does not affect your rights to a refund or our liability to you pursuant to: your Consumer Rights; circumstances where there may be any failure to generate or add the Afterpay Plus Card to your digital wallet following your payment to us; or our breach of these Terms. It is also subject to any express rights of refund under these Afterpay Plus Terms or where Afterpay otherwise agrees to provide a refund;
  • you will continue to receive the benefits of Afterpay Plus for the remainder of the applicable term, but will not have access to any such benefits for the following term. With respect to Afterpay Plus Card, you will lose the associated benefits and the card in your digital wallet will revert to an Afterpay Card that can be used for in-store purchases with Retailers who offer Afterpay, as outlined in clause 3.3 above;

Once you cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription, you will not be able to open a new Afterpay Plus subscription for a period of 12 months from the date of cancellation.

Afterpay may also cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription for the following reasons:

  • Afterpay reasonably considers it necessary to do so in order to protect the integrity of our systems or the Products, prevent fraud or limit the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing arising from your use of Afterpay Plus;
  • Afterpay reasonably suspects, or is aware, that you are otherwise using Afterpay Plus in material breach of these Afterpay Plus Terms, these Terms or any applicable laws or regulations; or
  • Afterpay is required or instructed to do so by a regulator, enforcement officer or court of law (including to protect the program in either of the circumstances above).

If we do not provide you prior notice of cancellation, we will provide personal notice of such cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable after cancellation. 

Refund or waiver of Afterpay Plus subscription fee

If during a monthly Afterpay Plus subscription period:

  • you cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription following our notice of a variation to the Afterpay Plus Terms or any other Terms, which is material and/or to your detriment; 
  • you cancel your Afterpay Account (or request us to close your Afterpay Account once you have paid all outstanding amounts owing to us) following our notice of a variation to the Afterpay Plus Terms or any other Terms, which is material and/or to your detriment; 
  • we close your Afterpay Account pursuant to our rights in paragraph (b) under the section titled "When we can close your Afterpay Account" in clause 3.4 of these Terms; or
  • we close your Afterpay Account or cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription under any other provision where the closure or cancellation is not as a result of your breach of these Terms or other wrongful act or omission,

we will refund to you (or waive) the amount equal to the Afterpay Plus subscription fee that you have paid (or would have paid) in advance for your final subscription period.

Billing Agreement and Automatic Payments

An “Automatic Payment” is a payment of the Afterpay Plus subscription fee through the Payment Method you have chosen that we will automatically charge when you sign up for Afterpay Plus, and thereafter on a monthly basis. You will have the option to select a Payment Method when you sign up for Afterpay Plus. You can update or change your Payment Method at any time via your Afterpay Account.


Subject to the other terms set out in these Terms, you hereby expressly consent to, authorise and instruct Afterpay to deduct Automatic Payment amounts from your Payment Method when you sign up for Afterpay Plus, and on that date each month thereafter (the “Subscription Renewal Date”). You acknowledge that the timing of when your subscription is renewed may vary if your subscription began on a day not contained in a given month (e.g. if you have a monthly subscription and became a paying subscriber on January 31, your Payment Method would be billed next on February 28). 


You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds available with your Payment Method to make Automatic Payments on your Subscription Renewal Date. You are liable for any fees or charges imposed by your Payment Method, except to the extent that such fees or charges arise as a result of our negligence, error or system failure. If any fees or charges are imposed as a result of our negligence, 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.
