TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE BUY NOW, PAY LATER OPTION

 

  1. BUY NOW, PAY LATER OPTION

Thank you for choosing the Buy Now, Pay Later Option offered by the Merchant.

The following terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) apply to the third-party merchant selling goods via the Wisecart App (“Merchant”) and you, who has made a purchase via Wisecart’s platform with the Merchant. When using “you” in this document, we mean anyone who has bought something choosing the “Pay Later” or “Pay in 3 instalments” option provided by Merchant. If you choose this payment schedule (the “Buy Now, Pay Later Option”), you agree to the following Terms and Conditions.

The following Terms and Conditions will be available at all times on a durable medium in Wisecart’s website.

This agreement sets out the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Buy Now, Pay Later Option offered by the Merchant.

  1. HOW IT WORKS

By choosing the Buy Now, Pay Later Option, you grant Merchant permission to charge the remaining payment(s) directly from your card or the selected payment method on the agreed dates without the need to require your previous consent to it. If the Merchant does not charge you for your entire purchase at once, several Buy Now, Pay Later Options for each part of the purchase may be created. Each of these options will have their own charge dates depending on when the Merchant confirms each part of the purchase. This situation may be common in stores that do not ship all of the purchased products or services at the same time.

 

  1. WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

3.1 Interests and expenses

The Buy Now, Pay Later Option is free of interest, and you don’t have to pay any relevant expenses.

Please take into account that there may be some other charges invoiced by your card-issuing payment services provider.

3.2 Accepted cards and stored cards

The payment card registered to face the installments must be valid, meaning that you must be listed as the cardholder by the payment services provider issuing the payment card and the payment card cannot be expired. Our third party payment service provider reserves the right to refuse the payment card registered in compliance with types supported by its systems from time to time. Our third party payment service provider may limit the different types of payment cards accepted for payment. If a payment card is not supported, our third party payment service provider shall let you know before the purchase is completed. Accepted payment methods will be disclosed at the moment of the payment. Prepaid cards is not accepted.

By choosing the Buy Now, Pay Later Option, you authorize our third party payment service provider to store your card details on its systems. This information will only be used to authorize future payments under these Terms and Conditions. Unless you choose not to authorize it, our third party payment service provider may use this information to complete your payment card details for future purchases and in any case you will be able to manage your card details online. In case our third party payment service provider obtains any updated payment card information from your payment services provider, you agree that our third party payment service provider may store it in its systems.

3.3 Payment of installments

The payment method of the installments will be the one you have selected from those available on Wisecart’s website or app from time to time. Each payment method shall be conditional upon and operate in accordance with its particular terms of use.

3.4 Late Payment

If on the day the installment is due our third party payment service provider is unable to collect the relevant amount, we will send you a notification and give you a courtesy period of three (3) days to update your payment method or to ensure that you have funds available to be disposed of with the payment card registered with us. A new charge will be instructed once you update your payment method so the outstanding amounts are paid. If our third party payment service provider cannot charge your new payment method, it will attempt to charge the previous payment method again at the end of the three (3) day period. It is important that you make sure you have sufficient funds available to complete your payment on the due date. If our third party payment service provider fails to collect the late installment a second time, during the grace period, Merchant will add the unpaid total amount to the final installment, including a late payment penalty.

If by the end of the courtesy period our third party payment service provider has not been able to charge your selected payment method, a default will be deemed to have occurred and, in addition to other actions Merchant may be entitled to exercise, Merchant may charge you a late payment penalty in the following amounts;

  1. EUR 4 per installment if the total value of the purchase is less than or equal to EUR 50;
  2. EUR 7 per installment if the total value of the purchase is between EUR 50 and less or equal to EUR 200;

If a default occurs for a period longer than 90 days, please note that you may not be able to use the Buy Now, Pay Later Option again in the future.

Merchant may continue to attempt the recovery on subsequent due dates. If it is not possible to collect the remaining amount in the third installment, Merchant may invoice you for the remaining amount to be paid immediately or Merchant may follow its debt collection procedures in which case you will have to pay all reasonable costs incurred by Merchant and/or the collection agency.

3.5 Access to credit reports, identity checks and reports

Depending on the characteristics of the Buy Now, Pay Later Option, Wisecart may need to verify your identity. Identity verification is performed so Wisecart can comply with its anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing legal requirements as well as to prevent fraud. You will need to provide the necessary information requested to Wisecart to verify your identity. Please be informed that we may also check the information provided against third party databases.

Merchant may not enter into a Buy Now, Pay Later Option agreement with you if the information requested to comply with the obligations set forth in the paragraph above are not provided or in the event that Wisecart finds out that the information or part of the information shared by you is false or cannot be updated.

We may conduct an inquiry at a credit bureau. This inquiry may affect your credit score and your chances of obtaining credit in the future. If, as a result of our inquiry, you are unable to access this payment method, we will notify you. We may also validate your payment card and request authorization from your payment services provider. In this case there will be no changes to your credit rate for these payments. Late, missed or other unpaid payments on your purchase may be sent to the credit bureau and reflected on your credit file, which may affect your credit score.

3.6 Assignment or transfer of this agreement

This agreement is formalized by Merchant taking into account your personal characteristics and solvency rate, and therefore cannot be assigned or transferred to a different debtor without Merchant’s prior written consent.

In this regard, you may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under these Terms and Conditions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Merchant may transfer or assign these terms or any rights or obligations under these terms at any time, provided that such transfer does not alter your rights and obligations under these terms to your detriment.

3.7 Early repayment and refunds

You can repay the outstanding amount of purchase at any time and no expenses will be charged for this early repayment. Any partial refund will reduce the total outstanding amount of purchase, but will not be considered a full payment. You will be required to continue to pay the outstanding installments according to the payment schedule established at the time of purchase on the established dates until the total purchase is fully paid. If you have made partial early repayments, the outstanding installment will be proportionally reduced accordingly.

If you withdraw from your purchase with the Merchant or return the purchased products or services, this agreement will automatically be terminated and the outstanding installments canceled (as soon as the Merchant confirms this aspect to us); and Merchant will proceed to refund the amounts you have already paid.

3.8 Withdrawal rights

Exercising your right of withdrawal means that you will have to pay the amount of due payment up to the time of withdrawal as soon as possible and, in any event, within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of communication of the withdrawal. Once the withdrawal notification has been received, Merchant will make it effective.

Merchant may not demand any payment from you if (i) it does not prove that you have provided the existence of the right of withdrawal, with the conditions for its exercise or (ii) if it initiates the execution of the agreement without having been requested by you before the end of the withdrawal period.

Merchant shall reimburse you, as soon as possible and in any case within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days, any amount it has received from you under the agreement for the specific purchase.
