This Agreement is a contract between you ("you","your") and Postpay Services DMCC ("we", "us", "our") for the instalment plans provided by Postpay to you for the goods and/or services you purchased from the merchants that offer Postpay as a payment method ("Postpay Authorised Merchant"). Through this Agreement, Postpay has extended you non-transferrable financing and the right to defer payment for the goods and/or services you have purchased. You agree to pay us pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
We may transfer or assign this Agreement, and any rights under this Agreement, to a third party without notice to you or without your consent.
Postpay may decide to change this Agreement from time to time, including your credit limit provided. However, such changes will not impose additional obligations on you concerning actions you had taken before the change became effective unless you specifically agree to such changes. You accept and agree to the changes to this Agreement by continuing to use Postpay services.
Postpay provides services that allow merchants to offer customers the ability to pay for goods and services in monthly instalments, which may be accessed through a Postpay account.
To be eligible to use the Postpay services, you must; (i) be at least 18 years old (ii) be a resident of the United Arab Emirates and hold a valid Emirates ID; (iii) be capable of entering into a legally binding contract; (iv) have a valid and verifiable mobile number; (v) be a holder of a UAE debit of credit card; and (vi) create an Account and agree to Postpay's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
By entering into this Agreement, you represent and warrant that you are eligible to use the Services.
Before completing any Order on your behalf through any Postpay Service, Postpay will secure your promise to pay for each Order by disclosing all terms and conditions applicable to that Order and securing your affirmative consent to those terms for that Order, including your promise to pay the amount of the goods and services financed by the Postpay. By accepting this Agreement and confirming the financing of any purchases through Postpay, you give Postpay the right to collect any unpaid portions of the financed purchase.
To become a User of the Postpay Services, you must create a Postpay Account (“My Postpay”). By opening a Postpay Account and accepting the terms as outlined in this Agreement, you attest that you are establishing your Account to enable yourself to finance the purchase of goods and services from Postpay Authorised Merchants.
Postpay does not charge to activate an account for the first time.
Postpay identifies User Accounts by the mobile phone number linked to the User Account. We use a One Time Password ("OTP") sent via Short Message Service ("SMS") text to your mobile phone number. The OTP proves that you have possession of your mobile phone number and the device you are using with Postpay Services.
To create a Postpay Account, we require that you provide us with your mobile phone number and prove that you have possession of that device by entering an OTP. We then ask you to complete identity verification which requires the scan of your Emirates ID and facial recognition. By matching your face with the image on your Emirates ID, you can prove you are the rightful holder of the document.
By providing your mobile number to us, you provide your consent for us and our service providers to send OTP and payment reminders to your number.
Postpay is not engaged in the sale of any goods or services financed by Postpay. Postpay does not have control of, or liability for, the products or services financed through the Postpay Services. We provide a service that allows you to finance your purchase from Postpay Authorised Merchants. If you have a dispute with a Postpay Authorised Merchant, you should contact the Merchant using the details posted on their website.
a. All requests for Orders and Services through Postpay are subject to approval by Postpay, at our discretion. We may choose not to approve an Order, provide financing or display an option for a monthly instalment plan, for a product to you, or we may cancel an approved Order before the goods or services are delivered or supplied, if: (i) we reasonably consider such cancellation necessary in order to: (A) protect the integrity of our systems or the products; (B) prevent fraud; (C) limit the risk of money laundering; or (D) otherwise protect us against legal, regulatory or non-payment risk; (ii) you do not pass our verifications or checks; or (iii) we suspect, or are aware, that you have breached this Agreement in a material respect (including by failing to make any payment due under this Agreement on the payment due date).
b. If we cancel an approved Order or request for financing: (i) we will apply a full refund of any amounts you have paid to us to your bank account or card used for payment (excluding any chargebacks or other fees incurred in relation to your payment), and will cancel any future payments related to that Order; and (ii) you will have no obligation to make any further payments to us, and will not have any other ongoing relationship with us, with respect to that Order. Further, should we cancel an approved Order, the Merchant will not be obliged to deliver the goods for that Order, unless required to do so by law. If you wish to proceed with the purchase from the Postpay Authorised Merchant, the Postpay Authorised Merchant may accept an alternative payment method in its discretion, or if required to do so by law.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you authorise and direct Postpay to make preauthorised electronic fund transfers from your designated account or payment device to pay for your Order.
a. Payment Schedule
Once we approve the financing for your Order, you will receive an email from us with confirmation of receipt of your Order and a Payment Schedule.

If you enrol a payment method in any of the electronic payment channels (described below), you authorise Postpay to process such payments using the payment method details provided by you (“Payment Method”). You can update or change your default payment method at any time via your Postpay Account. An ‘Automatic Payment’ is a payment, through the Payment Method you have chosen, that we will automatically process and collect for Recurring Payments (for all amounts that you owe Postpay).
b. Down Payments
To allow immediate purchase and processing of your Order, we require the use of a debit or credit card. By providing this card number and information to Postpay, you authorise Postpay to charge or debit your designated card for your Down payment when the merchant processes the Order with Postpay. This payment will be processed immediately after you place your order.
c. Sufficient Funds Required
You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient funds via your Payment Method in order to make Automatic Payments on the dates specified in your Payment Schedule.
d. Late Payments
If a payment is not paid prior to the due date as specified in your Payment Schedule (Due Date), and the Instalment Payment is not successfully processed on the Due Date, you will be responsible for Late Fees. Refer to section 5.2.

If we make an error, you must notify us within 60 days of receiving your statement from us. If we are timely notified, we will correct the error and reimburse you any fees or charges imposed as a result of our error or system failure. To file a claim, email support@postpay.io.. Please provide us with a copy of the relevant records so we can locate your account and identify the issue.
If you decide to return goods that have been purchased via Postpay, and request a refund, or a return and refund are otherwise accepted or permitted by law, you will directly arrange the return with the Postpay Authorised Merchant and ensure that the goods are returned according to the retailer's return policy or other instructions or your rights at law.
The return must be completed within the period specified and in the manner required by the retailer's returns policy or as otherwise permitted by the retailer.
Until the retailer has confirmed the return of the goods, or the relevant refund or part refund, you will remain liable for the full payment of the goods. During this time, we may continue to process any Instalment Payments in accordance with the dates set out in your Payment Schedule.
Once the goods have been returned and the refund (or other price adjustment subsequent to purchase) has been approved by the retailer, we will issue a refund to your debit/credit card and adjust your Payment Schedule appropriately (excluding any processing fees or late fees incurred in relation to your payment). Please note, in the event of partial refunds, refund amounts are taken off the last payment(s) first.
a. You agree to provide any information or documentation reasonably requested to verify your identity in connection with your order.
b. You authorise us to make, directly or through third parties, any inquiries necessary to verify your identity and assess your capability to make the agreed payments.
c. As part of the approval process and assessment as to whether or not you have the means to fulfill your obligation to make future payments according to the Payment Schedule, we reserve the right, directly or through third parties, to conduct an assessment of your Payment Method.
