BNPL Terms and Conditions | The Best Payment System for Hair & Beauty Salons

Salon Pay buy now pay later (BNPL) terms

These terms of use constitute an agreement between you and Nexus Technology Group Pty Ltd ABN 46 672 394 839 trading as Salon Pay (we, our, or us) (and any person who acquires your Payment Plan from us).

The Merchant is the party that provides you with the goods or services that you purchase under an arrangement separate to this agreement. You can purchase the merchant’s goods or services over a period of time by repaying in instalments (‘pay in 4’) or in one lump sum payment in full (‘pay in full’). These payment options are collectively, or interchangeably as the context requires, referred to in this agreement as the Payment Plan. Where you choose a ‘pay in 4’ Payment Plan, the Merchant provides you with credit, and you owe the Merchant for the outstanding instalments.

The Payment Plan is administered by our Third Party Providers. If you choose and are approved for a relevant Payment Plan, these providers will acquire from the Merchant the debt you owe the Merchant under the Payment Plan, in which case all rights and obligations held by the Merchant under this agreement in respect of the debt will be transferred, assigned and novated in accordance with clause 12.

By entering into a Payment Plan, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. You should read these terms in full, as well as the Salon Pay Privacy Policy before proceeding.

For the purposes of these Terms of Use, unless the context requires otherwise, references to we, our or us shall mean Salon Pay, and any other assignee/transferee under clause 12.

Summary of how the 'pay in 4' Payment Plan works

The availability of the ‘pay in 4’ Payment Plan is subject to our approval. We may decline to enter into a ‘pay in 4’ Payment Plan with you. In these circumstances, we may choose to offer you a ‘pay in full’ Payment Plan instead or decline to enter into any Payment Plan with you.
If you are approved for a ‘pay in 4’ Payment Plan, you will pay for your purchase in 4 payments (unless you elect to pay your Payment Plan off earlier).
You will pay the first payment upfront, and the remaining 3 payments will be due every fortnight from the date of the first payment.
You can pay your payments before the due dates, otherwise we will automatically take payments from your nominated (or subsequently nominated) debit or credit card on or after the due dates.
If any automatic payment fails initially, we will attempt to take that payment again after that scheduled payment date (second attempt). If that second attempt fails, you will be charged a late fee of $5. That late fee (including any other late fees incurred because of other failed instalment payments under the Payment Plan), will be added to the next scheduled payment. Over the term of any one Payment Plan, the total late fees you will be charged will not exceed 3 late fees (or $15).
If you fail to make your payments in accordance with the Payment Plan and subsequently take out or seek to take out another payment plan either with the Salon Pay or another merchant that our third party provider has the same or similar arrangements with (Third Party Provider Merchant), Salon Pay has the right to and may recover from you, all amounts (including late fees) owed under this Payment Plan by debiting such amounts from any debit or credit card you nominate under any future payment plan.

Summary of how the 'pay in full' Payment Plan works

For ‘pay in full’ Payment Plans (whether selected by you or applying because your application for a ‘pay in 4’ Payment Plan was not approved), you will pay the full purchase price on the same day as the purchase.

Late fees

If any automatic payment fails initially, we will attempt to take that payment again after the scheduled payment date (second attempt). If that second payment attempt fails, we will charge you a late fee of $5 in respect of that payment.

That late fee (including any other late fees incurred because of other failed instalment payments under the Payment Plan), will be added to the next scheduled payment.

We may waive any late fee at our discretion.

Where we are unable to process a payment because of an error or failure in our systems, you will not be liable for the relevant late payment fee(s).

Such actions may include debt recovery, bars or conditions on future payment plans and termination or suspension of any current payment plans you hold with us, including this Payment Plan or such other actions as we consider appropriate in the circumstances (in our discretion).

Debt recovery and your credit score

In the case that you do not make the payments agreed under your Payment Plan, you consent to us notifying third party collections/recovery agencies. This may affect your credit rating, your ability to obtain credit in the future and may also mean you are not approved to enter into payment plans in the future with Salon Pay or other Third Party Merchants or alternate credit providers.

Your ongoing liability to repay

For Australian plans, we may deduct any amounts owing to us (including payment amounts and late payment fees) that are payable by you, from any payment method you nominate under this Payment Plan or future payment plan(s) under any number of payments until the full amounts outstanding are repaid (regardless of how long this takes).

Where we terminate your Payment Plan, the full outstanding amount will immediately be due and payable.

Importantly these enquiries include credit checks. Subject to the amount you are seeking under the Payment Plan, the information you provide to us, your pre-existing credit standing and the results of your credit checks, record of these checks may be left on your credit file. If you do not want any record left on your file, you should not proceed with the Payment Plan.

If you are unhappy with any of the changes, you can elect to not proceed with the next Payment Plan.
