If you are experiencing financial hardship, you can apply for a hardship variation as described here (https://payright.com.au/financial-hardship/).
- How your account works
4.1 When Payright receives your Application, it will assess your application for a Payright Account and a Payright Product in relation to the proposed purchase. We will assess Applications from new and existing customers to ensure that you meet the suitability criteria for the relevant Payright Product. Payright reserves the right to approve any Application to use an existing Continuing Credit Contract in accordance with the conditions clause 5.5, and may approve or deny any other Application at its complete discretion. If Payright approves your Application, we will notify you that your Application has been approved and your Payright Account will be opened.
4.2 Once your Payright Account is open, all your current and future Payright Products will operate through your Payright Account in accordance with the Product Terms and Conditions.
4.3 Your Payright Account is not transferrable and can only be used by you.
4.4 Payright may review your Payright Account at any time and you must provide Payright with any information it reasonably requires to conduct such review.
4.5 Where you have a zero balance outstanding on your Payright Account, it will remain open but inactive. You may request us to close your Payright Account at any time by notice to us provided all outstanding amounts have been paid and your Payright Account balance is zero for all Payright Products. When your Payright Account is closed, this also terminates all current Product Terms and Conditions. If your Payright Account is closed, this may affect your ability to apply for a new Payright Account or Payright Product. If you wish to open a new Payright Account and Payright Product after your Account has been closed, Payright reserves the right to approve or deny this new Application at its sole discretion. If your Application for a new Payright Account and Payright Product is approved, when we first advance funds under that new Payright Product, it will form a new Agreement between you and Payright.
4.6 Payright may close your Payright Account if outstanding amounts have been paid and your Account balance has been zero for at least 12 months. Payright will give you 30 days’ notice of its intention to close your Payright Account.
4.7 You must pay any outstanding amounts due under your Payright Account and Payright Products within 2 Business Days of providing us notice that you wish to close your account. Your Payright Account will not be closed until we receive such outstanding amounts.
- How the Continuing Credit Contract works
5.1 If you have applied for a Continuing Credit Contract, we will notify you of the Credit Limit. This Credit Limit will be available for you to use in connection with your proposed purchase from a Participating Merchant in accordance with the terms of your Credit and Repayment Schedule. Once the Participating Merchant confirms your purchase to us, your Credit Limit will be applied to your purchase and your Continuing Credit Contract will commence. Your Continuing Credit Contract operates through your Payright Account.
5.2 After your BNPL Application is approved, you will receive a communication from Payright informing you of the details of your Continuing Credit Contract and repayment obligations.
5.3 After we advance funds in connection with your purchase from a Participating Merchant, the Available Credit Limit will be reduced by that amount. For an initial purchase, this usually means your Available Credit Limit will be $0.
5.4 Subject to clause 5.5, if you already have a Continuing Credit Contract, you may use your Available Credit Limit, or request an increase to your Credit Limit, by making a new BNPL Application.
5.5 Payright will only approve an Application in relation to an existing Continuing Credit Contract if:
(a) you have completed a BNPL Application;
(b) the advance of credit is in relation to a purchase from a Participating Merchant;
(c) you are not in default under any Payright Product, you have a satisfactory repayment history with us (as determined by us);
(d) your Payright Account and Continuing Credit Contract remains open;
(e) you provide any documentation reasonably required by Payright or the Participating Merchant to consider your BNPL Application;
(f) Payright obtains any documents or data it may reasonably require from time to time from you or from third parties (such as bank statement information and credit file information); and
(g) we decide that the advance is suitable for you as required by the BNPL Code or Applicable Law.
5.6 A separate Credit and Repayment Schedule will be provided for each subsequent purchase.
5.7 You may not be entitled to use your Continuing Credit Contract to pay for the entire cost of a purchase from a Participating Merchant. Payright will advise the Participating Merchant of any deposit amount required. You must pay any required deposit either directly to the Participating Merchant or to Payright as directed. You will not be able to use your Payright Account to pay the balance until the deposit has been paid and the Participating Merchant confirms to us they have provided or arranged delivery of the purchase to you.
- Fees and charges
Continuing Credit Contract
6.1 Payright will not charge you any interest on any credit provided by us to you through your Continuing Credit Contract. However, you will be required to pay the fees set out in the Credit and Repayment Schedule. These fees are:
(a) Payright plan establishment fee which is charged when your first BNPL Application is approved and your Continuing Credit Contract commences. This fee is repaid in instalments over the repayment term as set out in the Credit and Repayment Schedule;
(b) A repeat purchase fee (for existing customers who make a second or subsequent Application). This fee is charged when a second or subsequent BNPL Application is made and we approve it. It is charged when the credit is advanced and is repaid in instalments over the repayment term as set out in the applicable Credit and Repayment Schedule;
(c) A payment processing fee which is charged to recover repayment transaction costs and is charged each time a repayment is processed;
(d) An account keeping fee which is charged in return for account management and administration services connected to the operation of the Continuing Credit Contract and the functionalities contained within it. Where there is an outstanding amount due under an existing Credit and Repayment Schedule, the monthly account keeping fee will be debited at the same time as a repayment due under the Credit and Repayment Schedule. Where the repayment schedule is fortnightly the account keeping fee is pro-rated and charged with each fortnightly repayment. This fee is not charged when the Continuing Credit Contract has a zero credit balance.
6.2 Payright applies caps to some of its fees. The application of these caps means Payright will not charge you more than $200 in total for all of the abovementioned fees (set out in (a) to (d) above) in the first 12 months after your Continuing Credit Contract commences or $125 in any subsequent 12 month period. The fees that are included in these caps and how these are charged are also set out in the Credit and Repayment Schedule and are available on the Payright website. These fee caps only apply to your Continuing Credit Contract and not to any other Payright Product (unless specified in the relevant terms and conditions for that Payright Product).
Other Payright Product fees and charges
6.3 Fees for other Payright Products are published on Payright’s website from time to time or can be found in the relevant Product Terms and Conditions.
- Making purchases using your Continuing Credit Contract
7.1 You will be required to submit a new BNPL Application and agree to a Credit and Repayment Schedule in relation to each purchase you make using your Continuing Credit Contract. The Credit and Repayment Schedule will set out:
(a) the establishment fee or repeat purchase fee (as applicable) the applicable fees and charges (if any);
(b) Amount of Credit used for the purchase;
(c) total purchase price;
(d) number and amount of minimum repayments required; and
(e) frequency of payments under the direct debit repayment plan.
- Making payments
8.1 Payments will be made by direct debit at regular intervals in accordance with the direct debit information provided by you in the Application and this Agreement. Each Credit and Repayment Schedule for the Continuing Credit Contract or the Product Terms and Conditions will set out the frequency and amount of the direct debit repayments required to satisfy payment of any applicable fees and charges and repayment of the credit provided.
Information specific to your Continuing Credit Contract
8.2 From time to time, a direct debit in relation to your Continuing Credit Contract may be unsuccessful (for example, because of insufficient funds in your account). If a direct debit is unsuccessful, Payright may make further attempts to debit the amount of the missed Regular Payment from your account. Where a customer has multiple unsuccessful payments, Payright will limit the number of successful loan repayments to no more than three (3) on any one day. Your financial institution may charge you fees if this occurs. You must also pay the Late Payment Fee in accordance with clause 8.5 below (except where the reason the direct debit is unsuccessful is due to our act or omission). There will be no limit on the number of previously unsuccessful Late Fees that Payright will process in any one day.
8.3 You can make additional repayments to your Continuing Credit Contract at any time or repay the total amount owing under your Continuing Credit Contract at any time. Payright may charge a payment processing fee in respect of any additional repayments you make. This payment processing fee is included in the calculation of the maximum fee amount in clause 6.
8.4. For as long as there is an outstanding balance in respect of your Continuing Credit Contract, you will be required to make the minimum repayments as set out in the relevant Credit and Repayment Schedule in accordance with the direct debit arrangements regardless of whether you have made any additional repayments.
8.5 If you fail to make a minimum repayment on your Continuing Credit Contract by the due date (including because a direct debit is unsuccessful), Payright may issue you with a Late Payment Notice and charge you a Late Payment Fee or part thereof. We will provide you with notice in accordance with clause 10.7 before any late fees are charged so that you can contact us to make any required repayments. Where you contact us immediately or make the required repayment within the notice period set out in the Late payment Notice, no late fees will be charged.
8.6 You must pay all amounts you owe to Payright under the Continuing Credit Contract in full to Payright without any set-off, withholding, counterclaim or reduction.
8.7 Payright may use any payment it receives from you to satisfy any amount that you are due to pay in respect of the Continuing Credit Contract in any manner it chooses (acting reasonably). For example, Payright may choose to apply a payment in satisfaction of outstanding enforcement fees or late payment fees in priority to any outstanding scheduled minimum repayments. In most cases, Payright will apply payments in the following order:
(a) Enforcement Fees;
(b) Late Payment Fees;
(c) other fees and charges; and
(d) outstanding balances in relation to purchases.
8.8 Any fees and charges or other amounts that have accrued and remain outstanding on the final repayment date in the Credit and Repayment Schedule under the Continuing Credit Contract must be paid along with the final repayment. Payright will debit your nominated account for the final minimum repayment and all outstanding accrued fees and charges and other amounts on the final repayment date in your Credit and Repayment Schedule.
- Statements, notices and other information
9.1 You can access statement and other information relating to your Payright Products online via Payright’s website. Where the statement is not accessible via the Payright website, it will be sent to you via email periodically; alternatively, you can request a statement in relation to other Payright Products by contacting us at any time.

Payright may from time to time email you with a link to information or notices that have been posted on its website. You acknowledge that where documents and information is provided electronically, paper documents may no longer be given, electronic communications must be regularly checked for documents; and your consent to the giving of documents by electronic communication, insofar as it relates to any Payright Product that is regulated by the Credit Act, may be withdrawn at any time.
9.4 Payright will not send you paper statements or notices unless Payright is required by law to issue a statement or notice in this form.
9.5 You are responsible for ensuring that Payright has your most recent email address and for regularly checking your nominated email account for information from Payright regarding your Payright Account.

- Default
Continuing Credit Contract
10.1 You will be in default under your Continuing Credit Contract if you:
(a) fail to make a Regular Payment, including because a direct debit is unsuccessful;
(b) fail to pay the amount set out in a Late Payment Notice by the due date for payment;
(c) fail to repay the total amount of credit provided together with all applicable fees and charges by the final due date for payment notified in the Credit and Repayment Schedule or otherwise agreed with Payright; or
(d) do any of the following and it has a material impact (as defined in 10.2 below) you:
(i) breach a provision of this Continuing Credit Contract;
(ii) do not comply with the law; or
(iii) give us incorrect, incomplete or misleading information.
10.2 A default has a “material impact” if Payright reasonably considers that the event, by its nature, is material or the event has had, or is likely to have, a material impact on:
(a) your ability to meet your obligations under the Continuing Credit contract, including but not limited to your obligation to make Regular Repayments;
(b) Payright’s credit or security risks (or Payright’s ability to assess these); or
(c) Payright’s legal risks or reputation.
10.3 If you are in default and Payright, acting reasonably determines the default to have a ‘material impact’ as described in 10.2 above, Payright may do any or all of the following:
(a) close, cancel or suspend the Continuing Credit Contract;
(b) require you to pay all or part of the outstanding balance of your Continuing Credit Contract; or
(c) take further action to enforce its rights and recover the amounts due under the Continuing Credit Contract including (but not limited to) referring you to a credit and collection agency.
10.4 Subject to clause 10.5, Payright will issue you with a Default Notice before it exercises any of its other rights under this clause 10. The Default Notice will advise you of the default and notify you of how to remedy it and by when it must be remedied. For the avoidance of doubt Payright will provide you with a reasonable time to remedy any default, such period of time will be specified in the Default Notice. If you do not or cannot remedy the default within the time set out in a Default Notice all amounts you owe to Payright under this Continuing Credit Contract will become due and payable and Payright may take further action to enforce its rights and recover the amounts due.
10.5 If Payright believes that you have fraudulently induced it to enter into the Continuing Credit Contract and this has a material impact as defined in clause 10.2 above, or Payright cannot locate you after making reasonable attempts to do so, or Payright is otherwise authorised by a court or tribunal, then Payright is not required to give you a Default Notice and the amount outstanding under your Continuing Credit Contract will immediately become due and payable without prior notice to you.
10.6 Unless we agree otherwise, you must still make payments in accordance with any applicable Credit and Repayment Schedules until the outstanding balance of your Continuing Credit Contract is paid in full.
10.7 If you fail to make a minimum payment by the due date (including because a direct debit is unsuccessful) or if you fail to pay the total amount due under your Continuing Credit Contract by the due date, Payright may issue you with a Late Payment Notice and charge you a Late Payment Fee.
10.8 If you are in default and in addition to any Late Payment Fees, you will be responsible for paying any Enforcement Fees to reimburse Payright any reasonable costs we incur in enforcing the Continuing Credit Contract and/or collecting any overdue payments including, but not limited to, the costs of any third party engaged by us to enforce the Continuing Credit Contract and recover outstanding monies.
