4. Your card
4.1. Your card will continue to function as a method to participate in the merchant’s smart shopper rewards programme and you may, on presentation of the card, continue to earn points on qualifying purchases.
4.2. Once your card has been activated for credit purchases, you will receive notification from us on how to create a personal identification number (“PIN”). You must immediately create a PIN.
4.3. You are the only person that may use your card. You cannot transfer your card to another person or authorise or enable someone else to use it. If you apply for a secondary card, only the secondary cardholder may use that card.
4.4. Should you not use your card within 180 days of approval, your credit facility will no longer be valid and you will have to apply again; in which event, we cannot guarantee that you will be extended credit again or that you will receive the same credit limit again.
4.5. Unless we tell you otherwise, you may use your card to purchase goods or obtain a service from the merchant on credit, provided that you each time:
4.5.1. present your card to the merchant at the time of purchase;
4.5.2. provide the correct PIN at the time of purchase; and
4.5.3. sign a sales voucher acknowledging the purchase, if required by us.
4.6. We will debit your account with all credit transactions made using your card, unless you can prove that someone has fraudulently used your card and/or that the merchant processing the transaction did not have the authority to debit your account with the amounts concerned. If so, you will not be held liable for such fraudulent or unauthorised use, unless the provisions of clause 4.10 below are applicable.
4.7. When you access your available credit, you may select any of our available repayment plans to pay us back, however, in some instances a minimum spend may apply. We may change the features or cancel any repayment plan at any time on notice to you. You must select a payment plan before the transaction is processed. If you fail to do so, we will select a plan for you. You cannot change the payment plan for a particular transaction after the transaction has been processed. You also cannot select more than one payment plan to apply to a single transaction.
4.8. You are responsible for the safekeeping and proper use of your card. If you lose your card or if it is stolen, you must immediately inform the merchant hereof by phone on 0860 30 30 30 and then contact us on 0861 555 995 to let us know. You will not be held liable for credit transactions made on your account after you reported your card stolen or lost, unless we are entitled to hold you liable in terms of the Act or if you were negligent in safeguarding your card or if you didn’t let us know without unnecessary delay that your card was stolen or lost.
4.9. Even though you have possession of it, your card will always remain property of the merchant or any of the companies within the merchant’s group of companies and the card itself and your use thereof will in addition to the terms of this agreement remain subject to the merchant’s smart shopper terms and conditions.
4.10. If you apply for a secondary card:
4.10.1. Unless otherwise stated, the terms of this agreement relating to the card apply equally to the secondary card;
4.10.2. A secondary card will entitle a secondary cardholder to access the available credit (subject to any specified limits) on your credit facility and make purchases on your account, without your signature being required at the time of purchase.
4.10.3. At the time of application for a secondary card, you may specify a limit lower than your credit limit that will apply in respect of a secondary card. If so, the secondary cardholder will not be able to access credit in excess of this limit, but always subject to the credit available from time to time on your credit facility.
4.10.4. It is your responsibility to ensure that the secondary cardholder complies with the applicable terms and conditions of this agreement.
4.10.5. If you nominate a secondary cardholder that at the time your application for a secondary card is younger than 18 years old: 1) you acknowledge that by issuing a secondary card to him/her, we are not entering into a credit agreement with him/her; 2) you confirm that he/she is at least 16 years old as at the time of application; 3) you confirm that you are his/her parent or legal guardian; and 4) you consent to the use of the secondary card by him/her. We reserve the right to cancel any secondary card in the event of any of the above statements being false.
4.10.6. Where the secondary cardholder makes a purchase using the secondary card, the purchase amount will be debited to your account. You are therefore responsible for payment of any purchases made on the secondary card. You are also responsible for any interest, fees or charges that we may raise on your account as a result of any purchases made on the secondary card.
4.10.7. Should you wish to change the secondary cardholder or cancel your secondary card, you may do so by contacting us. After receiving confirmation of such a change or cancellation, as the case may be, you must immediately destroy the old secondary card. Failure to do so will result in you being liable for any purchases made on the old secondary card after such change or cancellation.
4.10.8. The secondary card will not entitle you or the secondary cardholder to additional credit. The credit limit on your credit facility will not increase through the issuance of a secondary card.
4.11. You may apply for up to 3 secondary cards, in which event, the provisions of clause 4.10 will apply to each such card. Specified limits on additional secondary cards will not apply cumulatively. As there is only one credit facility, all specified limits will at all times be subject to the credit limit on your credit facility.
5. Credit limit and available credit
5.1. Your card may be used for credit transactions up to a predetermined amount. You (or, where applicable, the secondary cardholder) may not exceed this limit. Your initial credit limit will be reflected on your pre-agreement and your credit limit will always be reflected on your statements.
5.2. We have the right to at any time perform an assessment of your creditworthiness and may reduce your credit limit should we deem it in your best interest. We will notify you as soon as possible of such a reduction in your credit limit.
5.3. Should you wish to receive a temporary credit limit increase, or should we increase your credit limit temporarily, in order to allow a transaction or a series of transactions on your account, such an increase will be for a limited time only. You must repay the amount of the increase in full with your next instalment.
5.4. Should you at any time wish to increase your credit limit, or wish to receive automatic annual increases, you may advise us thereof in writing or telephonically. Any such credit limit increase will, where applicable, be subject to our scoring criteria and the provisions of the Act and this agreement. Your new credit limit will be reflected on your statements.
5.5. When you make a purchase, your available credit will reduce by the amount of such purchase. Similarly, when you make a payment, your available credit will increase by such amount, however, as payments may take up to 3 days to reflect in our bank account, such credit may not always be available immediately.
5.6. Your credit facility may only be used to access the credit available to you. You may not make payments in excess of your outstanding balance or credit limit. If you do, we have the right to immediately refund the amount of such credit balance to you and we may immediately terminate this agreement on notice to you. If, for whatever the reason may be, we are unable to refund you, we will retain the amount until such time as we are able to refund you or the law deems that you have forfeited the amount to us, without losing our right to immediately terminate this agreement.
5.7. You may access cash from your credit facility by making use of the cash advance option that may be available on your card, subject to the following qualification criteria:
5.7.1. your account with us must not be in arrears and must be older than 3 months;
5.7.2. we may impose a minimum and/or maximum amount that you can withdraw from time to time;
5.7.3. repayment of the cash advance is only permitted on selected repayment plans; and will form part of your monthly instalment;

5.7.5. we will check if you meet the requirements for accessing this option and if so, we will let you know the amount that is available to you for withdrawal and the options for repayment;
5.7.6. if you let us know that you want to proceed with the withdrawal, we will process the transaction on your facility and pay the amount selected by you in South African Rand into a bank account in your name.
5.8. Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to amend our qualification criteria from time to time. If we do so, we will let you know at the time of your request for a cash advance.
6. Merchants
6.1. When you make a purchase at any of the merchant’s stores, we will, on your behalf, pay the merchant the amount owing to the merchant in terms of such a transaction.
6.2. In terms of s5(2)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, as amended, the rights afforded to you by the Consumer Protection Act do not apply to credit agreements, however, they do apply to the goods purchased and/or services obtained in terms of that credit agreement. Therefore, a dispute that you have about the goods and/or services (including but not limited to the return of goods) must be resolved directly with the merchant.
6.3. If you have a dispute with a merchant, that dispute will not entitle you to–
6.3.1. instruct us to refuse to pay the merchant for goods purchased or services obtained by you on your card; or
6.3.2. refuse to pay us for payments already made to the merchant, irrespective of whether such payment was made in respect of the goods that are the subject-matter of a dispute, or
6.3.3. instruct us to reverse a payment already made to the merchant.
6.4. We will not be liable to you if the merchant refuses to accept your card as payment for any goods purchased or services obtained with your card. You will not have the right to claim anything from us or to institute any counterclaim against us or to apply set-off against us on this basis or any other basis whatsoever.
6.5. Any refund by the merchant to you must be paid to us so that we can credit your account or you can process the refund by swiping your card in the merchant stores.
6.6. If you receive a refund directly from a merchant for any goods purchased or services obtained from such merchant on your account, you will remain liable for any fees and costs that we are entitled to charge or have charged to your account in terms of this agreement.
7. Insurance
7.1 For your protection your credit facility must include customer protection insurance. The customer protection insurance product offered by us is underwritten by the insurance company, Guardrisk Insurance Company Limited for accounts opened before 1 October 2020 and by Guardrisk Life Limited for accounts opened on or after 1 October 2020; and covers the following:
7.1.1 death cover or permanent disability (which covers your full outstanding balance); or
7.1.2 temporary disability (covers up to 12 months’ instalments); or
7.1.3 loss of income (which covers up to 12 months’ instalments).

7.3 You have the right to waive the customer protection insurance product offered by us and to substitute it with a policy of your own choice, which covers the same benefits and which policy must then be ceded to us with certain written directions as stated in the Act. You must let us know in your application
7.4. Your insurance premiums will be billed to your account and collected as part of your instalment. You will only have insurance cover if your account is not in arrears.
8. Interest & fees
8.1. Subject to the provisions of the Act, we will determine the amount of any interest, fees and other costs that will be charged to your account. These amounts will be shown on your statement.
8.2. The rate of interest that we charge to your account will be reflected on your pre-agreement quotation and statement, but will never be more than the maximum annual interest rate permitted by the Act. This maximum annual interest rate may change during the term of this agreement. If so, the interest rate that we charge you may also change. You will be informed of any changes to your interest rate within 30 days after such change.
8.3. In the event of a change in the interest rate, the interest on purchases on the budget plan will remain the same for the remainder of the repayment period, but the interest calculation on your revolving facility and any new budget plan will always be charged at the new rate.
8.4. Interest will be calculated on a daily basis and added to your principal debt (in other words, compounded) on a monthly basis.
8.5. If you are in arrears, interest will be charged on overdue amounts at the same rate as the interest rate applicable in terms of this agreement. If you are paying by debit order, this arrear interest will be collected with your next debit order.
8.6. If at the time of making a purchase on your card, you selected an interest-free repayment plan, we will not charge you interest on that purchase, provided that your account is not in arrears. If your account is in arrears, we will convert that purchase to an interest-bearing repayment plan for the remainder of the plan term.
8.7. If you access the credit on your card and pay the full amount so accessed on or before the due date reflected on your next statement, we may decide not to charge any interest in respect of that credit transaction. If we decide to do so, this will not mean that we may never again charge interest to you.
8.8. We will charge you a monthly service fee. This will apply for as long as your account is open and there is a balance on your account. If there is no outstanding balance, no service fee will be charged. The amount and frequency of the service fee will be set out in your pre-agreement quotation and statement, however, we may change this amount on notice to you. We will, however, never exceed the maximum cap as set out in the Act.
9. Statement
9.1. We will periodically send you an electronic statement of account, which will show:
9.1.1. all transactions relating to your account;
9.1.2. the interest and other charges debited to your account;
9.1.3. payments made, as well as the balance outstanding;
9.1.4. how much you are in arrears by, if any;
9.1.5. the minimum amount payable; and
9.1.6. the due date on or by which you must pay the outstanding balance.
9.2. It is your responsibility to check your statement. Unless you notify us in writing or by telephone within 30 days of the date of your statement that you dispute your liability for any debit appearing on your statement, you will be deemed to be liable therefor. Similarly, you must let us know if any payment made or credit received by you is not reflected on your statement.
9.3. If we are notified late of a transaction on your account, such late transaction will be reflected on your account as and when we are notified thereof, notwithstanding the fact that you may have transacted with the merchant at an earlier time.
9.4. The frequency of statements will be at our discretion, provided that no more than 3 months shall pass between delivery of successive statements of account. If there has been no activity on your account in a particular statement month, we may elect to not send you any statement in respect of such a statement month.
9.5. If you have provided us with an e-mail address, we will send you statements via e-mail. Alternatively, we may send you statements via SMS or MMS, using the cellphone number that you gave us in your application form.
9.6. Non-receipt of statements does not free you from your obligation to pay us. You may obtain your account information from us telephonically, through the self-service portal or at any in-store till point.
10. Payment & settlement
10.1. You must pay at least the minimum amount payable as indicated on your statement by the due date, which amount is made up of the sum of:

10.2.1. payment of due or unpaid interest, and thereafter
10.2.2. payment of due or unpaid fees and charges (including any insurance), and finally
10.2.3. payment of the principal debt, it being agreed that your oldest debt will be paid first and according to the hierarchy of your revolving credit balance and thereafter according to the sequence of any further budget plan (if any) as entered into.
10.3. You can pay your account through any of our approved payment methods from time to time, such as at merchant stores, by debit order, on our website (where available) or by electronic funds transfer into our bank account. The method that you choose will be at your risk. Payments will only be effected when we receive and process it.
10.4. If you are paying by debit order and your payment day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or recognised South African public holiday, the payment day will automatically be the business day before your usual payment date.
10.5. If you make a payment using the incorrect reference, your payment may not be allocated to your account. It is your responsibility to check your statements and to let us know if any payment is not reflecting on your account.
10.6. You may prepay any amount owed to us at any time, however, making a prepayment will reduce your outstanding balance and not entitle you to skip a payment.
10.7. If you wish to pay us by debit order and you have indicated this to us in the application form, you authorise us (and mandate your bank) to deduct your monthly payments, as well as any other amount that may be due from time to time by you to us in terms of this agreement, from your bank account. If your account is in arrears, you authorise us (and mandate your bank) to also deduct such arrear amount, as well as any other amount that may be due from time to time by you to us in terms of this agreement, from your bank account through an additional debit order.
10.8. If your debit order is unpaid by your bank due to insufficient funds, we may track your account and re-present the instruction for payment as soon as sufficient funds are available. If your debit order is still unpaid by your bank, you must make the minimum payment due as indicated on your statement directly to us by the due date for such payment in order to keep your account from going into arrears.
10.9. If your debit order authorisation lapses due to there being no funds available in your bank account, you must contact us to provide us with a new debit order authorisation if you want to continue paying by means of a debit order.
10.10. If you wish to settle your account, you must first contact us to obtain a settlement amount. Settling your account does not automatically mean that your account will be closed. If you want to close your account, you must contact us and instruct us to do so.
10.11. You must immediately let us know if during the term of this agreement:
10.11.1. You apply for sequestration or to be placed under administration;

11.2. If your account has been in arrears for a period as determined by us from time to time, during which period you failed to make any payments on your account, your account will automatically be classified as “written off” and will be closed on notice to you. If this happens, we may choose to also terminate this agreement.
11.3. If we have to institute legal action against you in court, you will be liable for all costs incurred, including but not limited to legal costs on the scale “attorney and own client” (which means the costs incurred by us for the attorney’s professional services, plus any expenses and costs incurred by such attorney in trying to recover the arrears plus costs from you), as well as collection charges, tracing fees and taxes hereon.
11.4. We may approach a court to take judgment against you for the debt owed by you to us in terms of this agreement. If we do, a certificate signed by any one of our managers (whose appointment and authority need not be proved) stating the amount that you owe us and the applicable interest rate, shall be accepted as sufficient proof of your indebtedness and shall be deemed correct unless you are able to prove otherwise.
11.5. The address that you gave us when completing the application is the address that you choose where legal documents may be served on you. If we are able to serve documents on you electronically, the e-mail address and/or cellphone number that we have on record for you will be used. If you wish to change your physical address, e-mail address and/or cellphone number, you must give us notice hereof and any such change will take effect 7 business days after we receive such notice.
11.6. If you have a query or complaint, contact our customer services department for a resolution.
