    • (c) any other fee we may include from time to time.

  6. Making Payments to Us

    1. You must make Payments in accordance with this Agreement in the following way:

      • (a) Upfront Instalment Payment (if any) on the Effective Date; and
      • (b) each subsequent Payment on each subsequent Payment Date.
    2. All Payments due from you to us must be made in full in accordance with this Agreement without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim. If we suffer or incur a shortfall due to the imposition by law of Goods and Services Tax (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) or other taxes on any amount payable by you, notably because the tax authorities conclude that GST, HST or any other taxes apply on such amount, you must reimburse us for this additional expense (including any penalties and interest).
    3. All Payments will be made by preauthorized debit payment, debit or credit card, or any other supported payment instrument. Where you have chosen the option to pay by pre-authorized debit, you must agree to the terms of the PreAuthorized Debit Agreement. Where you have chosen to pay by debit or credit card, you authorize us to debit your debit or credit card with the Payments.
    4. If your payment cannot be processed or is returned to us (for example, because of insufficient funds), we may attempt to process your payment:

      • (a) a second time, in the case of a pre-authorized debit payment; and

    5. You may prepay all or a part of your outstanding balance at any time without any prepayment charge or penalty (Additional Payments). If you make a partial prepayment, you must continue to make your Payments on the scheduled Payment Dates, until all amounts due under the Agreement are fully paid. The amount of any remaining Payments will (save for any adjustment necessary to the last Instalment Payment) remain the same; however the number of Payments (and, as a result the Term) will be reduced to take account of the early Payment.
    6. You must continue to make the Payments in accordance with this Agreement even if the Products become defective, cease to exist or are otherwise not to your satisfaction. If you sell, dispose, or are no longer in possession of, the Products, you are still required to make the Payments in accordance with this Agreement.
    7. If a Payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, or on a day that does not exist (e.g. February 30), your Payment is still due on that day, but may not be processed until the next Business Day.
    8. Any partial prepayment will be applied in the following order:

      • (a) to pay the accumulated cost of borrowing of the principal amount of the Loan; and
      • (b) in reduction of the principal.
  7. Refunds for Prepayment in Full

    1. If you prepay the full outstanding balance owing under this Agreement, you may be entitled to a partial refund of the cost of borrowing (excluding interest) that you have already paid to us (“Prepayment Refund”).

      • (c) you or another person on your behalf gives us any false or misleading information;
      • (d) we reasonably believe that you or another person has acted fraudulently in connection with the Loan; or
      • (e) you are insolvent or steps are taken to make you insolvent.
    2. If a Default occurs, and we have not already done so, we will have no obligation to make the Loan available to you.
    3. If a Default occurs and we have already made the Loan available to you, we will (where the Default can be remedied) give you written notice requiring you to remedy the Default within a period of twenty one (21) days. If you fail to remedy the Default within the period specified in the notice or the Default is incapable of remedy, all principal amounts, all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amount outstanding under the Loan will become immediately due and payable on written demand by us to you.
    4. You will be deemed to have failed to remedy the Default specified in such a notice if, at the end of the time allowed by the notice, you have remedied that Default but have committed another Default of the same type.
    5. If you are in Default of this Agreement, we may impose Default Charges on you, as set out in the Initial Disclosure Statement and in accordance with applicable law.
    6. If you are in Default of this Agreement, we may prevent you from completing additional purchases, even if your Global Limit would otherwise permit you to do so.
