Using Our Continuous Payment Authority
Setting up recurring payments
By purchasing via Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) you acknowledge that this has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your agreement will be automatically extended for successive periods for an indefinite time until cancelled by you or us. The initial payment will be deducted from your specified account, we will then deduct subsequent payments as indicated in your notification communication (i.e. Monthly, Quarterly, Annually). Where the collection due date is not a business day, we will make the collection on the next business day.
Recurring payments will be made via your chosen credit or debit card by way of a stored credential in the form of a payment token. Tokenisation is the process of replacing sensitive card data with a string of randomly generated numbers called a “token”. Similar to encryption, tokenisation retains all the essential information but renders it unreadable in the event of a data breach or other exposure.
Cancelling your recurring payments
You may cancel your agreement at any time. To do so, please contact our customer care team via the various methods detailed on our contact page. You must notify us at least 10 business days before the next scheduled transaction.
Updating your account information
To make any changes to your account or recurring payment information, please contact us at least 10 business days before the next scheduled transaction for the update to take effect.
If a transaction is refused by your financial institution
If your recurring payment is declined for any reason, including insufficient funds, closed account, or unauthorised account, we will contact you using the details provided when setting up the agreement and making your first payment. This communication will notify you that payment has failed and prompt you to update your details or provide an alternative payment method.
