If the customer accepts the payment plan, we will immediately attempt to take a 40% deposit of the purchase price from the customer’s debit or credit card or bank account. If that deposit is paid, we will notify you and the customer that the instalment plan has been activated;
We will pay you the purchase price, less our fees and any amounts you owe us, on the day of the purchase at 4pm. If the purchase has not cleared in our system by 4pm that day, we will pay you by 4pm the next day; and

3. Processing payments
You must provide us with an itemised INKPAY invoice for a customer’s purchase if the customer chooses to use our Buy Now Pay Later Service. The itemised INKPAY invoice is generated by you, inside our web-app, and must include the cost of each item. You MUST have received a unique ‘APPROVAL’ email from us, directly in relation to the associated invoice, before commencing to provide the service to a customer. In the event of any discrepancy, this APPROVAL email will need to be presented to us.
You agree and acknowledge that us providing our Buy Now Pay Later Service to your customers is subject to our assessment of the customer’s capacity to make payments and to us approving the purchase. If we decline a customer’s request to use our Buy Now Pay Later Service, the customer can only make payment to you by another means, and we accept no liability in this circumstance.
Where we provide our Buy Now Pay Later Service to a customer, we will pay you the total purchase price as listed on the INKPAY invoice, less our fees and any amounts you owe us, on the same day by 4pm. If that is not possible due to processing times , we will pay you the next day by 4pm. Payments may take up to 3 business days to appear in your account and this is dependent on the Australian banking system.
We make all payments to your account in Australian Dollars.
4. Fees
You must pay us our Fees. We will deduct the amount of our Fees from each payment of a purchase price we make to you.
The Fee on each purchase you must pay us is dependent on the total amount of the purchases your customers made using our Buy Now Later Service during the previous calendar month. We will call the total amount of these purchases Revenue. Our Fees are as follows:
Revenue (inc.GST) during a calendar monthOur Fee on each purchase during the next calendar month$0 - $5,000.0012%$5,000.01 - $10,000.0010%$10,00.01 +8%
The Revenue is calculated for a calendar month by adding together the total purchases your customers make using our Buy Now Pay Later Service from the first calendar day of the month to the last calendar day of the month.
In the first calendar month that you register with us, our Fees payable by you are 12% of the sale/INKPAY invoice price.
Our Fees payable by you on each purchase during any given calendar month, after the first month you register with us, are determined by reference to the Revenue for the previous calendar month.
For example:
You register with us in March. In March (1st March–31st March) our Fee payable by you on each purchase a customer makes using our Buy Now Pay Later Service are 12%. If a customer makes a purchase of $500 in March using our Buy Now Pay Later Service, we pay you $440 for the purchase i.e. $500 less our Fee of $60 (12%).
In March, your customers make total purchases of $5,001 using our Buy Now Pay Later Service.
Since the Revenue for March (1st March – 31st March) is $5,001, our Fee in April (1st April – 30th April) is 10% on each purchase made in April using our Buy Now Pay Later Service.
In April, a customer makes a $500 (incl. GST) purchase using our Buy Now Pay Later Service. We pay you $450 (incl. GST) for that purchase i.e. $500 less our Fee of $50 (10%).
In April, the Revenue is $4,000.
Our Fee payable by you on each purchase a customer makes in May using our Buy Now Pay Later Service is 12%.
We will also deduct from any purchase price any amounts you owe us e.g. as a result of refunds you give customers.
5. No on-charging of fees
You must not under any circumstances impose any extra fees, charges, interest, or surcharges on customer purchases for using our Buy Now Pay Later Service. You may increase your fees generally to cover your costs, but you may not offer a “discount” price for customers who do not use the Buy Now Pay Later Service.
If we suspect that you have breached this clause, we may at our absolute discretion terminate this Agreement.
