Our GiftPay payment plan option allows you to purchase our goods or services over a period of time by repaying us in equal instalments (Payment Plan).
By entering into a Payment Plan, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. You should also read our Privacy Policy which forms a part of this agreement.
Summary of how this Payment Plan works
- You will pay for your purchase in 4 equal payments.
- You will pay the first payment upfront, and the remaining 3 payments will be due every fortnight from the date of the first payment.
- You can pay your payments before the due dates, otherwise we will automatically take payments from your nominated debit or credit card on the due dates.
- If an automatic payment fails on the due date, we will charge you a late fee of $5. You can be charged up to 4 late fees which total $20.
- If an automatic payment fails, we will attempt to take that payment 4 days later. If that second payment attempt fails, we will add the payment due, including any late fees, to the next scheduled payment.

- Be capable of entering into a legally binding contract;
- Have a valid email address and phone number (you will need both of these to verify your identity );
- Have a valid debit or credit card; and

If you provide any inaccurate or incomplete information, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that this is the case, we have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse future use of Payment Plans. We may decline to open your Account or enter into a Payment Plan if you are not approved by us. Examples of when this could happen are:
- We are not able to identify you to our satisfaction.
- The deposit is declined;
- You have outstanding payments or late payment fees(s) due on any payment plan, attached to your Account, or we suspect or are aware that you have breached or violated your agreement under another payment plan attached to your Account;
- We are not satisfied with your ability to make payments; or
- We reasonable consider it necessary to limit the risk of money laundering or terrorism financing, fraud or any other breach of law.
You are responsible for maintaining and protecting the confidentiality of your login details, which consists of your e-mail address and password. We are not responsible for any unauthorised access and use of your Account unless we have failed to take reasonable steps to prevent such access or use.
2. Payment Plans
Payments
If we enter into a Payment Plan with you, you will pay us the purchase price in 4 equal payments. You will pay the first payment as a deposit on the same day as the purchase, and pay the subsequent 3 payments on the same day every 2 weeks thereafter. Automatic payments You authorise us to process payments and the late payment fee(s) specified below using the payment method details provided by you. You will have the option to select your payment method when you create your Account and enter into the Payment Plan. You must provide us with details of your nominated debit or credit card when selecting your payment method. You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds in your nominated debit or credit card. If we are unable to process a payment for any reason, including but not limited to, your nominated card being expired or cancelled or there being insufficient funds in the account associated with your nominated card, you are liable for the late payment fee(s) specified below and any fees and charges imposed by your nominated card issuer. Where we are unable to process a payment because of an error or failure in our systems, you will not be liable for the late payment fee(s) specified below. You acknowledge that:
- We may, in our absolute discretion, engage a third party payment processing service to process the payments;
- Your financial institution may, in its absolute discretion, at any time by notice in writing to you, terminate the payment arrangement as to future payment;
- You authorise us to provide the payment provider with your personal information (including the account details you have provided us, or any payment authority you complete and sign) for the purposes of processing the payments;
- We will provide you with the payment provider’s service agreement, and by electing to pay by direct debit or credit card, you consent to that service agreement;
- We will notify you in writing if we engage a new payment provider, and we will provide you with the new provider’s service agreement at the time we notify you;
- You may cancel your arrangement with the new payment provider upon being notified of the change, but you must make alternative payment arrangements with us to effect payment, as agreed in writing by us; and
- If at any time you believe that a direct debit (or credit) against your nominated account (or credit card) is inappropriate or incorrect it is your responsibility to notify us as soon as possible.
Late payments
If you fail to make any payment in relation to a Payment Plan, you must pay us a $5 late payment fee for each late payment. The late payment fee will be applied the day the payment failed. We will attempt to take any failed payments on the day that is 4 days after the date they were due if still unpaid. If you fail to make a payment for a third time, we may at our discretion terminate your Account. You consent to us notifying the third administrator, and this may affect your ability to enter into payment plans with other merchants. We will also ban you from using Payment Plans with us in the future. We will deduct any late payment fees payable from your nominated payment method. Where we terminate your Payment Plan, the full outstanding amount will immediately be due and payable. We do not charge you any interest, establishment fees, monthly account keeping fees or any other fees for entering into a Payment Plan. We may waive any late fee at our discretion.
3. Identity checks and payment assessments
You agree to provide us with any information or documentation we reasonably request to verify your identity and assess your ability to make payments. You authorise us or our administrator to make any enquiries, either directly or through third parties, to verify your identity and assess your ability to make payments in relation to all Payment Plans you enter into. All information we or our administrator collects about you, including information to verify your identity and assess your ability to make payments will be collected, used and securely stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Privacy Policy of our third party administrator (see: ).
4. Cancellations and refunds
You can ask us to terminate your Account at any time. You remain liable to make your payments and pay the late payment fees(s) above in respect of any Payment Plan you have entered into. If you terminate a Payment Plan and no refund is payable, the outstanding debt will be immediately due and payable. If we agree that your transaction is to be refunded or credited, you will not have to pay any further payments related to the Payment Plan, and we will refund each payment you have made under the Payment Plan including any late fees you have paid. If we refuse to refund or credit your transaction despite you seeking a refund or credit, or disputing the purchase, you must pay all amounts due under this agreement without setting off the amount you believe we owe you and without counterclaiming from us, except to the extent that any right of set off you may have cannot be excluded under any law.
