Terms and Conditions of Purchase

Payments

Payment start date

Once you have placed your order, payments via Direct Debit will start on the date you selected. Payments by Credit Card will be debited on the 15th of every month.

What happens to my payments on Public Holidays?

Your Direct Debit payment will come out the working day prior. Please note that Chrisco is located in Auckland, therefore we observe Auckland Anniversary (we still collect payments on Auckland Anniversary day). If you wish to skip a payment on a public holiday, or on the day after, you will need to let us know before midday on the working day prior.

Missed payments

If you miss a payment we will automatically recalculate and slightly increase your future payments so that your order is fully paid by the Final Payment Date. If several payments are missed, we will reduce your order to make the remaining payments easier. We are not responsible for your bank charges if payments fail. If you are unable to keep paying, we will reduce your order to the amount you have already paid, and you will still receive products and/or vouchers for Christmas. We are happy to discuss your order at any time. Simply Contact Us.

Direct Debit Authority

If you are paying by Direct Debit, you can call Chrisco on 0800 831 300 with your bank account details or you can complete a Direct Debit Authority to allow a payment to be automatically deducted from your bank account. Chrisco is the registered initiator of Authorisation Code 1209835. By filling out the Direct Debit Request form, you are authorising Chrisco to debit your payments from your chosen account. Our bank debits your account electronically on the day you have chosen (usually your pay day) It’s easy. Just fill in the form and then... relax. Stopping a Direct Debit payment If you call us on 0800 831 300 by midday the working day before your payment is due we can stop a payment (i.e.: before Friday midday for a Monday payment).

HeadStart Plan

Your direct debit payments will continue until your order is fully paid for (no later than 26th October 2012). After the 26th October 2012, a HeadStart Plan will be created for you and direct debit payments will continue accordingly. A HeadStart Plan allows you to make payments towards next year’s order, while giving you time to decide exactly which products you want. We will write to you to confirm your HeadStart Plan payments prior to commencing your direct debits. Your HeadStart plan is fully refundable, at no cost to you, should you wish to stop it. Once your HeadStart Plan has been converted into an order, Chrisco’s standard cancellation policy will apply. Your HeadStart payments must be converted into an order by 1st February 2012. Chrisco will send you reminders before that date. By entering into the HeadStart Plan, you agree that, if you have not converted your order by that date, Chrisco has the right to convert your HeadStart payment into an order on your behalf. Where this happens, we will base the order on your previous orders.

Free Gifts

Orders must be fully paid to qualify for free gift. Eligible free gifts will be delivered in November/December to the purchasing members address.
