Afterpay Terms of Service - Australia

LAST UPDATE: 20 SEPTEMBER 2023

Important notice: From 2 October 2023, American Express will no longer be accepted as a payment method for new Orders. Repayments on existing Orders made prior to 2 October 2023 can continue to be charged to your American Express until the payment method is terminated on 29 November 2023, unless you update the payment method earlier. On 29 November 2023, our Terms of Service will be updated to remove all reference to American Express.

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.

For each order below $40, the total of the Late Fees that may be applied is capped at 25% of the Original Order Value.

For each order of $40 or above, an initial $10 partial Late Fee, and a further partial Late Fee of up to $7 if the payment remains unpaid 7 days after the due date. This approach will continue and the total of the Late Fees that may apply 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.

If you decide to purchase goods from an authorised Retailer from outside of Australia, we draw your attention to clause 4.5 of these terms.

We are a Code Compliant Member under the BNPL Code. You have certain rights and we have certain obligations to you under the BNPL Code. For further information, see clause 2.6.

We limit our liability to you in accordance with clause 10.3, and you indemnify us in accordance with clause 10.4 of these terms.

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 your Afterpay Card for an in-store purchase or add a new Card to your Afterpay Account. Once purchases are authorised, we immediately instruct your bank to void this pre-authorisation transaction. Once your Afterpay Card is provided for an in-store purchase, where Afterpay Card is obtained but a purchase does not eventuate, we instruct the bank to void the pre-authorisation if your Afterpay Card is cancelled or expires. Once a new card is added to your Afterpay Account and used, we instruct the bank to void the pre-authorisation. No funds are received by Afterpay during this process.

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 does not guarantee the time it takes for your bank to finalise the process and make your funds available to you.

Please read this Agreement and Afterpay’s Privacy Policy which can be found here carefully as they impose rules, obligations and other responsibilities on you in respect of your use of, and access to, our Products. By clicking ‘accept’ and using Afterpay’s Products, you agree to be bound by (i) this Agreement; and (ii) Afterpay’s Privacy Policy. If you do not want to be bound by this Agreement, you must not click accept or make a purchase using Afterpay’s Products. 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.

1. Welcome to our Website

1.1 Parties to this Agreement

This Agreement is a contract between you (‘you’ or ‘your’) and Afterpay Australia Pty Ltd ACN 169 342 947 (‘Afterpay’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’).

1.2 Policies incorporated into this Agreement

Afterpay’s Privacy Policy is incorporated into our agreement with you and is binding on you. If any other policy becomes binding on you, we will notify you of the policy and where it can be found. If you do not wish to be bound by that policy, you should stop using our Product.

To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any incorporated policy, the incorporated policy will prevail.

1.3 Changes to this Agreement

(a) We may vary this Agreement at any time (including varying the Fees). We will only vary this Agreement for the following reasons: (i) if we change the functionality of our Products; (ii) if we introduce new products or remove existing products; (iii) where required by law or regulation or a regulator; or (iv) for any other reason provided it is reasonable. 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 exit this Agreement, 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 as pop-ups in the app and/or with a banner on the Website. There may be instances 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).

(b) We will not change any terms and conditions for an existing Order that has been accepted by us; the terms and conditions that will apply to an accepted Order (and any steps taken in relation to such Order, e.g., cancellation, refunds, etc.) are the terms and conditions that applied at the time you made the Order.

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;

(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. These Automatic Payments also include any arrangements made between you

and a Retailer or Afterpay for your Afterpay Account to be used for any recurring payments, which may also be described by a Retailer or Afterpay as subscriptions, billing agreements, pre-authorised payments or any reasonably similar term (‘Recurring Payments’). 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. Where an Automatic Payment relates to Recurring Payment amounts, you also consent to, authorise and instruct Afterpay to pay the Retailer from your Nominated Payment Source through your Afterpay Account. When you select Afterpay as your payment method for a Recurring Payment, you authorise Afterpay to be the default payment method 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 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 (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.

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.

Cancelling your Recurring Payment with Afterpay

You may cancel any scheduled Recurring Payment amount by notifying us within 2 days of the next scheduled payment, either through our Website or contacting us at help.afterpay.com. By contacting Afterpay to cancel any scheduled Recurring Payment amount, Afterpay will also cancel any future Recurring Payments 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.

Please note, cancelling your Recurring Payment with Afterpay will not cancel any goods or services obtained from the Retailer. As above, it is your responsibility to cancel goods or services obtained from a Retailer by contacting the Retailer directly.

(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

The calculation and application of Late Fees are set out in Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

4.4 Fees

All charges and fees and how they are calculated and applied are 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 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 Australia.

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 in full to us under this Agreement without any set-off, withholding or reduction.

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. 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.

(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 transaction reversal for those goods, you will still need to make the payments in accordance with your Payment Schedule.

(e) Once the Retailer or Third Party Supplier has confirmed that a refund is payable, 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.

(g) Where your Afterpay Account has been closed for any reason, our respective obligations in relation to product returns in this 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.

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

(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.

(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.

(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 an Afterpay Card 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 Afterpay Card (plus one cent); and

(iv) Where an Afterpay Card is obtained but a purchase does not eventuate, we instruct the bank to void the pre-authorisation transaction upon expiry or cancellation of the Afterpay Card.

Afterpay Plus - User Terms & Conditions

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 the Agreement. 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 the Agreement. 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.

Eligibility

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

(a) You must have an existing Afterpay Account in Australia for more than 90 days;

(b) You have made at least one successful Afterpay purchase;

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 this Agreement 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 the Agreement). 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.

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.

Benefits

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 payment method for 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 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:

(a) 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;

(b) 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.

Afterpay may also cancel your Afterpay Plus subscription including, but not limited to, the following reasons:

(a) 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;

(b) Afterpay reasonably suspects, or is aware, that you are otherwise using Afterpay Plus in breach of these Afterpay Plus Terms, this Agreement or any applicable laws or regulations; or

(c) 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).

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

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 of this Agreement, 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.

For example, a $20 Order will have a maximum of one $5 Late Fee applied, a $108 Order will have up to $27 (25% x $108) of Late Fees applied, and a $500 order will have up to $68 of Late Fees applied (maximum limit). Once the cap is reached, no additional Late Fees will be applied to payments associated with that Order.

Please note: Where the 25% fee cap would be exceeded as a result of the $10 or $7 Late Fee, the amount may be varied such that the total Late Fee amount is within the caps above (i.e. a partial Late Fee). All applied Late Fees are capped at either 25% of the Original Order Value or $68, whichever is less.

Other fees or charges: Nil
