1. Your SplitPay Agreement

You (the individual) must pay for each purchase in twelve equal weekly instalments or six equal fortnightly instalments. The first instalment will be due and payable at the time you purchase the product.
By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge you have read, and agree to comply with, these Terms and Conditions.
2. Contract to Purchase
You agree to pay Red Rat for the goods by your nominated debit card or credit card according to your Payment Schedule with each purchase. You must provide us with all information we request for the purposes of assessing your application. Our approval criteria may change from time to time.
3. Am I Eligible?

(i) be an individual who is at least 18 years of age,
(ii) have a valid and verifiable email address and NZ mobile phone number,
(iii) provide a valid delivery address in NZ,
(vi) have your identity verified in accordance with the requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009; and

4. Application and Approval
We will create your SplitPay account when you first place an order online at the checkout, or online without a purchase.
Once your SplitPay account is created, you will be required to provide certain log in information (this includes a user name and password) that will enable you to access your Account through our Website.
You are responsible for keeping your log in information secure and must not permit unauthorised access and use by any other person. If you know or suspect any other person has obtained your log in details, you must notify us immediately at hello@redrat.co.nz
You must exercise care to ensure the safe use of your computer or mobile device to prevent loss, theft and unauthorised or fraudulent use.
If your account is used by another person to purchase Product, you will be personally liable to pay the Purchase Price of the Product in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
5. Confirming your Order
Once your Order is approved, you will receive an email from us from the email address you provided, for confirmation of receipt of your Order and a Payment Schedule.
You agree to make payments in accordance with the Payment Schedule. You may pay your Account off early, top up payments or make up a missed payment. You authorise Red Rat to automatically process payments in accordance with the Payment Schedule. If an Automatic Payment fails on any of the dates specified in your Payment Schedule, Red Rat reserves the right to re-attempt to process the payment at a later time or date.
6. Automatic payment /Fees
An “Automatic Payment” is a payment through the Payment Method you have chosen. This will automatically be charged directly to your nominated debit or credit card.
You must pay us the Purchase price in twelve equal weekly instalments or six equal fortnightly instalments. The second instalment will be due and payable on the day of the week you select when you confirm your payment schedule at the time of purchase. Each of the remaining instalments will be due and payable on the same day of the week as the second instalment in the weeks following. For example, if you purchase a product on a Wednesday and the purchase price is $108.00, on the date of purchase you will pay $9.00 and if you choose all following payments to be made on a Friday, on each Friday in the following eleven weeks you will be required to pay us an instalment amount of $9.00.
If an Automatic Payment fails, late fees may apply. A maximum of three $10.00 late fees will apply for each individual order. We may also arrange for a debt collection agency to collect the amount you owe to us or instruct an Agent to visit you and charge a fee of $45.00. You will not be charged more than one $45.00 fee if an Agent is required to visit you in any one calendar month.
You authorise us to debit your nominated credit or debit card for late fees which are spread across any remaining payments. For example, if you purchase a product for $108.00, you pay a deposit of $9.00 and made two additional scheduled payments of $9.00 each, your balance at this point is $81.00.Your next payment is late, a late fee of $10.00 will be incurred.Your new balance will now be $91.00 and you have 8 more weeks to pay off your balance, therefore, the new weekly instalments will be at $11.38.
You may pay some, or all, of the remaining balance in advance.
If you have a Red Rat Ezpay account and SplitPay account and either of these are in default, both accounts will remain on hold until overdue payments are made.
There is no interest charged for any purchase using SplitPay.
