1.2 We will only arrange for funds to be debited from your account as authorised in the Direct Debit Request.

If the debit day falls on a day that is not a banking day, we may direct your financial institution to debit your account on the following banking day. If you are unsure about which day your account has or will be debited you should ask your financial institution.

2.2 If the variation is unfavourable to you, we will give you at least 30 days written notice sent to the preferred email or address you have given us in the Direct Debit Request.

3. How to cancel or change direct debits

You can:

(a) cancel or suspend the Direct Debit Request; or
(b) change, stop or defer an individual debit payment,

at any time by contacting the payment initiator Jingle Finance via hello@jingle.com.au and giving them at least 14 days notice. If you have been unable to contact the payment initiator, you can also contact us regarding these matters, by giving us at least 14 days notice. To do so, contact us at support@zepto.com.au.

You can also contact your financial institution, which must act promptly on your instruction.

Even if you change, stop, or defer an individual debit payment, or cancel or suspend the Direct Debit Request, this doesn't end your contract with the payment initiator, nor does it remove your responsibility to make the payments that you have agreed to with the payment initiator. To change or end your contract with the payment initiator, you must discuss this with them directly.

4. Your obligations

4.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that there are sufficient clear funds available in your account to allow a debit payment to be made in accordance with the Direct Debit Request.

4.2 If there are insufficient clear funds in your account to meet a debit payment:
(a) you may be charged a fee and/or interest by your financial institution;
(b) we may charge you reasonable costs incurred by us on account of there being insufficient funds; and
(c) you must arrange for the debit payment to be made by another method or arrange for sufficient clear funds to be in your account by an agreed time so that we can process the debit payment.

4.3 You should check your account statement to verify that the amounts debited from your account are correct.

5. Dispute

5.1 If you believe that there has been an error in debiting your account, you should immediately notify the payment initiator Jingle Finance via hello@jingle.com.au. If you are unable to resolve the dispute with the payment initiator, contact us directly on support@zepto.com.au. Alternatively, you can contact your financial institution for assistance.

5.2 If the payment initiator or Zepto conclude as a result of our investigations that your account has been incorrectly debited the payment initiator or Zepto will respond to your query by arranging within a reasonable period for your financial institution to adjust your account (including interest and charges) accordingly. You will also be notified in writing of the amount by which your account has been adjusted.

6. Accounts

You should check:
(a) with your financial institution whether direct debiting is available from your account as direct debiting is not available on all accounts offered by financial institutions.

(c) with your financial institution before completing the Direct Debit Request if you have any queries about how to complete the Direct Debit Request.
