FINAL PAYMENT SCHEDULE
The dates listed for the down payment and the remaining payments and the payment amounts in the Payment Schedule are estimates only based upon the best information reasonably available at the time of your purchase, including the purchase amount shown during Afterpay checkout. Your actual down payment and payment dates may be later than the dates identified in Payment Schedule. Likewise, your actual down payment amount and payment amounts may be more or less depending on the final purchase amount confirmed by the merchant. Afterpay will deliver a Final Payment Schedule as a supplement to this Agreement after you complete your purchase with the merchant. The Final Payment Schedule will contain your actual down payment, payment amounts and due dates. There may be a delay between the time of your purchase and the delivery of your Final Payment Schedule and subsequent charging of the down payment to your Payment Method. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable time zone for all due dates provided as part of a Payment Schedule shall be PST/PDT, as applicable.
This Agreement includes the Final Payment Schedule that is sent after you complete your purchase with the merchant. You agree that the Final Payment Schedule will supersede and replace the Payment Schedule.
PREPAYMENTS
You may prepay all or a part of your payment installments at any time without any prepayment charge or penalty. If you make a partial prepayment, you must still continue to make your payments on the scheduled payment dates, as set out in the Agreement, until all amounts due under the Agreement are paid in full. Any partial prepayments will be credited against the outstanding balance of the amount (in Quebec, the outstanding Order Amount) owing under the Agreement when the partial prepayment was made and shall be applied against the then outstanding balance (in Quebec, the outstanding Order Amount).
PROMISE TO PAY: The Agreement governs your repayment to us in connection with funds we disbursed at your direction and on your behalf to an approved merchant to acquire certain merchandise or services that you have selected. You promise to pay the sum of your down payment and other payment amounts under this Agreement on the dates and according to the amounts displayed as “Down Payment” and “Remaining Payment Schedule” (together, your “Payment Schedule”) as it may be revised by the Final Payment Schedule (inclusive of all taxes and fees), plus all other charges accruing under this Agreement until paid in full. You understand that the actual amounts and due dates of your “Down Payment” and the payments in your “Remaining Payment Schedule” will be provided to you electronically as a supplement to this Agreement (the “Final Payment Schedule”).
[NOT APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS OF QUEBEC] Please note that Section 9 of this Agreement includes provisions that govern how claims we may have against each other are resolved. These provisions limit our liability and may require arbitration for a dispute that you assert against us. The Agreement includes important terms regarding your rights related to fees, dispute resolution and governing law.
This Agreement incorporates by reference the Initial Disclosure Statement provided above, the Payment Schedule and the Final Payment Schedule, if applicable.
Use of Proceeds and Disbursement Authorization
By electronically accepting this Agreement, you agree to pay the down payment amount to us, and we agree to immediately thereafter disburse the proceeds under this Agreement to the merchant that you select at checkout. You promise to re-pay us the amount of your purchase as indicated by the merchant at checkout. Your Final Payment Schedule is provided to you electronically as part of this Agreement. Except if you are a resident of Quebec, you also agree to pay any applicable fees you incur under this Agreement.
1.Installment Payments
When you accept this Agreement and place an order, you will identify your preferred method of payment, designating an eligible Canadian-issued credit or debit card as your “Payment Method.” In addition to any required down payment, you must make either three (3) or four (4) payments to us (each, an “Installment Payment”) in the amounts shown in your Final Payment Schedule. You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds available to make Installment Payments on the dates specified in your Final Payment Schedule.
In addition to the terms related to Prepayments set forth in the Initial Disclosure Statement, please note that if you make all Installment Payments in full on their due dates, your final payment will be made on the Maturity Date identified in the Final Payment Schedule. You may prepay all amounts due under this Agreement in whole or in part at any time without a penalty and you may make any payment early, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium at any time.
If you would like to change your Payment Method or make alternate payment arrangements, you are able to do so online or if the specific feature is not available, or if you have further issues or questions, you may contact us at [email protected]. The Payment Method you select and any necessary authorization will not affect your obligation to pay when due all amounts payable under this Agreement. The foregoing authorization is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights of setoff we may have under applicable law.
2.Fees
There are no finance charges, late fees, NSF fees or interest associated with this Agreement. The issuer of your Payment Method may charge interest or other charges in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement between you and your Payment Method issuer.
3.Delinquency and Default
If you fail to make any payment when due in the manner required by this Agreement, you will be delinquent. If you are delinquent, have filed or have instituted against you bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or are in breach of any other material term of this Agreement, we may, to the extent and at the time permitted by applicable law, deem you in default and accelerate the maturity of this Agreement and all payments due hereunder. If you fail to make a payment required under this Agreement, we reserve the right to limit, restrict, suspend or terminate your access to your Afterpay account.
4.Approval and Cancellation
All purchase order requests are subject to our approval. We may, in our sole discretion, not approve your application, or cancel an approved application before the goods or services are delivered or supplied. If we cancel your previously approved application:
(a) We will apply a full refund of any amounts you have paid (excluding any chargebacks or fees incurred in relation to your payment), and we will cancel any future payments related to that order;
(b)The merchant providing the merchandise will not be obliged to deliver the goods (or provide any related services); and
(c)You will have no obligation to make any further payments to us, or continue any other ongoing relationship with us, with respect to your application.
Approval for a purchase order does not guarantee future approval for a future purchase order.
5.Pre-Authorizations
As part of our approval process and our assessment as to whether or not you have the ability to fulfill your obligation to pay when due all amounts owed under this Agreement, we reserve the right to conduct a pre-authorization of your Payment Method. This may involve placing funds in the account linked to your Payment Method on hold each time you make an online purchase or add a Payment Method to your Afterpay Account. The pre-authorization amount will not exceed your first Installment Payment (plus one cent) owed to us for that purchase. We immediately instruct your bank to void this pre-authorization transaction. No funds are received by Afterpay during this process. We cannot guarantee the time it takes for your bank to process the void action and make your funds available.
PLEASE NOTE: In most circumstances, relevant banks will void a pre-authorization transaction within a few hours of the pre-authorization transaction being conducted by Afterpay. However, in some observed instances, banks have taken up to fourteen (14) days to finalize this process. Unfortunately, we do not have any control or influence over the timing of your bank’s ability to finalize this process and Afterpay makes no representations on this subject matter.
6.Cross Border Transactions
When you make a cross border purchase transaction, we convert your local currency to the currency of the merchant (the “Foreign Currency”). When you use our products to make a cross border purchase transaction, we will convert what the merchant charges for the goods into your local currency using a retail exchange rate selected by Afterpay at our discretion to determine the purchase order amount and the amounts payable by you in accordance with your Final Payment Schedule. The exchange rates that we use for currency conversion are determined by Afterpay in its sole discretion and will change regularly to reflect the currency fluctuations in the foreign exchange market. No set up fees or foreign exchange commission will be applied to the exchange rate applied to perform the conversion. There are no fees for currency conversion performed by us; however, we and our third party service providers may make a margin on any foreign exchange currency conversion, which may be considered an indirect cost to you. The margin is the difference between the wholesale exchange rate that we may be able to obtain for the Foreign Currency and the exchange rate that we then provide in connection with converting transaction to the Foreign Currency.
7.Merchandise Refunds and Other Adjustments Subsequent to Disbursement of Funds
Processing refunds and any merchandise exchanges or modifications are subject to the discretion of the merchant to whom you directed us to disburse funds under this Agreement. If you decide to return goods acquired using funds we have disbursed under this Agreement and request a refund, or a return and refund are otherwise accepted or permitted by law, you will remain obligated to make all payments still outstanding under this Agreement when due. However, for any amounts that a merchant returns directly to us in connection with such returned or exchanged merchandise, we shall retain such amounts and reflect an equivalent credit to reduce your outstanding obligation to us under this Agreement or, where applicable, refund to you any amounts already paid. In the event of a partial refund, the credit will be applied against your last payment first. If, for any reason, we are unable to apply a refund to the order to which it corresponds, we may in our discretion apply the refund to any method of payment you have on file with us. You will remain obligated to make payments still outstanding when due. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason, you agree to accept the refund policy of the specific merchant with whom you placed the order. We will not be liable if a merchant does not give you a credit, imposes any additional charges or takes any other action.
When a merchant issues a refund for a cross border purchase 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 Payment Method for the relevant goods or services.
8.Transfers or Assignments
We may transfer, assign or sell this Agreement, and any rights under this Agreement, to a third party without your consent. You agree that we may appoint third party collections agencies to collect any amounts owing to us under this Agreement without your consent. To the extent permitted by applicable law and except if you are a resident of Quebec, you hereby waive demand, notice of non-payment, protest and all other notices or demands whatsoever, and hereby consent that without notice to and without releasing the liability of any party, the obligations evidenced by this Agreement may from time to time, in whole or part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, settled, canceled or released by us.
9.Complaints and Disputes
If you have a complaint with us arising out of or related to this Agreement, you should contact us at [email protected]. If you have a complaint arising out of the delivery or quality of the goods you have purchased, you should contact the merchant using the details posted on the merchant’s website. You acknowledge and agree that Afterpay is not responsible for resolving disputes you may have with merchants. If you wish to submit a general complaint to us, you should do so by contacting us using the details posted on the Afterpay website or available through your Afterpay account. We may request additional documentation from you to assist us in resolving any complaints or disputes, and you must provide all reasonable assistance to us to facilitate us in resolving all complaints and disputes.
10.Arbitration Agreement [NOT APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS OF QUEBEC]

The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
(d) The parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any legal proceeding to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; (2) any legal proceeding to seek temporary injunctive relief that will remain in place only until an arbitrator can determine whether the relief should be continued, modified or removed; or (3) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
