Terms and Conditions

Northland Waste Limited trading as Northland Waste, Econowaste, and Low Cost Bins hereinafter called the "company".

1. Direct Debit Payments

If paying by Direct Debit the payment will be processed on the date specified by the hirer in the agreement or the business day before the specified date if the specified date falls on a weekend or public holiday, unless otherwise advised.

2. Credit and Debit Card Payments

The company accepts payments from MasterCard, Visa and Union Pay credit and debit cards. By the hirer paying for their service by credit or debit card they authorise the company to store the credit or debit card details on file so they can be used for any future amounts charged to the hirer’s account. By selecting the debit or credit card payment method, the hirer confirms:

* they have authority over the credit card or debit card that is being stored with the company

* they authorise the company to charge the elected credit card or debit card with all amounts due on their account as they fall due. They understand that invoiced amounts may vary.

* they agree that the further following terms and conditions will apply to recurring credit card or debit card payments:

Storage of card details

* The company only store the first 6 digits and last 2 digits of the hirer's card. The company place a pre-authorisation hold of $0.01 to verify the card. The hold amount of $0.01 will clear within 7 days.

* The hirer's full card details will be stored with Windcave, a trusted online payment solution provider who stores these details in accordance with their policies. You can view Windcave's policies on their website https://www.windcave.com/.

Use of your card to pay your invoice

* The company will continue to process card payments for amounts the hirer owes to the company as they fall due. The hirer can choose to add as many cards as they want to their account. However, one card must be selected as the default. If there is only one card on file this will always be the default preferred card. The company will use the default preferred card selected by the hirer to process card payments for amounts they owe.

* The Company will notify the hirer the amount payable at least 14 days prior to the due date of the invoice. The payment will be taken from the hirer's preferred card on the due date of the invoice.

* A record of the payment will be available in the hirer's online account after the transaction has been processed.

Declined Transactions

* If the hirer's payment is declined or reversed by their card issuer, the company will try debiting any other credit cards attached to the hirer's account. If there is only one card on file or all other cards fail, the company will contact you.

Updating card details

* The hirer is responsible for ensuring that they update their card details when they receive a replacement card or change card issuers. This can be done by logging into their online account or calling our customer service team.

* If the hirer's card has expired and they have not replaced it with another valid card, the company will still attempt to process your payment, but the hirer should be aware that it may be declined by your card issuer.

3. Changes in the Hirer's Details

The hirer is required to advise the company in advance of any changes in the hirer's details. This includes changes to the location of the bin, hirer's postal address, hirer's email address, hirer's contact telephone numbers and hirer's bank account information if payment is made by direct debit.
