5.5 In the case of a rejection where SeaMoney does not agree to purchase the Purchase Receivable under a Purchase Agreement, the User shall select other payment options to complete the sale and purchase of the relevant product under the Purchase Agreement. SeaMoney shall not be considered to be a party to such transaction.

Up to 1%* per month of total Sale Price for all tenures, with a maximum tenure of 12 months.
*Exact % may be lower depending on the Third Party Merchant and other factors to be determined at the sole discretion of SeaMoney. The interest amount will be notified to you prior to checkout.
6.1 The Interest outlined under this Clause 6 will be applied to the relevant total Sale Price of each Purchase Agreement for which the Services are used.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any successful request by you for a refund or return of products which are sold on Shopee:
(i) (where the request is accepted prior to your confirmation on Shopee of the receipt of the products) the Interest shall no longer be payable to SeaMoney; or
(ii) (where the request is accepted after your confirmation on Shopee of the receipt of the products) the Interest shall nevertheless remain payable to SeaMoney.
(c) You acknowledge that we may amend the Interest at any time without notice or liability to you and at our sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) Interest may be applicable for Purchase Agreements made with the use of Combined Payments;
(ii) Interest charged will always be simple interest and not compound interest.
7. Repayment Options
7.1 You have two (2) repayment options available for payment of the outstanding amounts due to SeaMoney as a result of the sale and assignment of a Purchase Receivable under a Purchase Agreement:
(a) One-off Payment:
A User may select a one-off payment option, where the User will pay for the total outstanding amount due under the Purchase Receivable on a deferred basis in one single consolidated interest-free payment on the due date provided in the Monthly Statement (as defined below).
(b) Instalment Plan:
i. Subject always to our prior approval at our sole discretion, you may select an instalment plan (as provided under these Terms of Service) to repay any outstanding amounts in instalments. Any outstanding amounts (inclusive of any Interest, where applicable) due to SeaMoney must be paid on a deferred basis in equal monthly instalment payments. The monthly payment for each instalment plan shall be due and payable by the due date provided in your Monthly Statement.
ii. In the event any payment is made in excess of the instalment due, the User acknowledges and agrees that such excess shall be allocated for the next month’s instalment.

7.2 Users shall indicate their preferred repayment option under the SPayLater service, subject to approval of SeaMoney.
7.3 Once the User has selected the repayment option, the User shall be bound by the terms of the repayment option selected by the User and any other terms and conditions as may be advised by SeaMoney from time to time. The User may not amend or vary its selected repayment option to another repayment option.
7.4 SeaMoney shall (or shall designate an affiliate to) provide the User with a monthly statement either on the 1st day of the month or 21st day of the month, with details of the User’s purchases for the previous month under all relevant Purchase Agreements which are paid using the Service and the Purchase Receivables of which have been sold and assigned to SeaMoney pursuant to Clause 5.1, including details on the aggregated sums owed by the User to SeaMoney and/or any applicable Fees and/or taxes (“Monthly Statement”). The Monthly Statement shall be provided to the User through Shopee or such other medium, method or manner as SeaMoney may determine.
7.5 The User shall make automatic repayments for each instalment via credit card, debit card.
For avoidance of doubt, when the User selects a payment sequence for auto-deduction, the User authorises SeaMoney to deduct payments according to amounts owed by the User following the payment sequence i.e. if there are insufficient funds in the first payment method, SeaMoney will attempt deductions by moving down the list of payment methods until all amounts owed are successfully deducted.

(a) ShopeePay e-Wallet;
(b) Credit and Debit Cards, with a Handling Fee of SGD 1 charged per relevant manual bill repayment;

(d) such other payment channels as SeaMoney (or its designated affiliate) may notify the User from time to time.
The User shall indicate his or her preferred payment option under the payment sequence page on SPayLater (within the Shopee mobile application). The User shall provide true, accurate, current and complete information relating to his or her preferred payment method and channel.
7.7 All amounts set out in each Monthly Statement shall be due and payable by the User to SeaMoney on the due date indicated in the Monthly Statement which shall be the 10th day of the month, the 23rd day of the month or any other date as notified by SeaMoney to the User from time to time (“Due Date”).
7.8 The User agrees that SeaMoney may appoint an affiliate or any other third party as its collection agent for the collection and recovery of all amounts due and owing by the User to SeaMoney pursuant to the Service.
7.9 The User hereby agrees, authorises and instructs SeaMoney (or its designated affiliate or any other authorised third party) to initiate the recurring, credit card or debit card transactions, pursuant to the User’s elected payment method, on the relevant due dates indicated on the relevant Monthly Statement.
If there are insufficient funds in the User’s selected payment method on the Due Date, the User will be in default from the day after the Due Date, and authorises SeaMoney to automatically debit the User’s elected payment methods for such overdue amount. If such amount remains overdue when the following month’s Monthly Statement is released, and the User’s elected payment methods have sufficient funds, the User authorises SeaMoney to automatically debit the User’s elected payment methods for the overdue amount of the previous month and the due amount owed in the current month, even if the due amount of the current month has not yet reached the Due Date of the current month.
7.10 The User agrees to be bound by all terms of the credit or debit card issuers, payment processors, payment schemes or networks and financial institutions providing or related to the payment method and channel elected by the User.
8. Late Repayment Fee and Recovery of Outstanding Sums
8.1 SeaMoney may charge a Late Fee of SGD 5 per month on any unpaid or outstanding amounts for each relevant month to a User who fails to repay the amount specified in the Monthly Statement before the due date. You agree and acknowledge that SeaMoney reserves the right to revise the Late Fee from time to time at its sole discretion without notice or any liability to you.

8.2 The User acknowledges and agrees that the User’s Shopee Account may be blocked, frozen or otherwise limited in function at any time and at our sole and reasonable discretion, and without any liability to you, in the event you fail to meet any of your financial obligations to us at any time, including (without limitation) the timely and full payment of all outstanding amounts as set out under your relevant Monthly Statement.
8.3 In the event of any delay or failure by the User to make repayment by the due date as provided in Clause 7.7, the User acknowledges and agrees that SeaMoney has the right to collect the instalment payment along with any Late Fees (and such other charges as SeaMoney may notify the User from time to time) from the User, either through a third party and/or the relevant authorities to the extent as permitted by the prevailing laws and regulations in Singapore.
8.4 The User shall not remove the credit card or debit card linked to their Account for so long as there are any amounts due to SeaMoney and which remain unpaid or outstanding.
9. Refunds and Returns
9.1 In the event a User wishes to request for a refund or return of the products subject of a Purchase Receivable purchased and assigned to SeaMoney, such request shall be made by the User to the Third Party Merchant directly. SeaMoney hereby delegates to the Third Party Merchant all rights to determine any requests for refunds or returns in respect of the products subject of a Purchase Receivable which has been purchased and assigned to SeaMoney.
9.2 Where a User’s request for refunds or returns has been accepted by the Third Party Merchant, the Third Party Merchant shall pay an amount equal to the applicable refund to SeaMoney (or its designated affiliate). Any refund or returns accepted by the Third Party Merchant after the User has paid the Purchase Receivable (or any part thereof) to SeaMoney shall not result in or enable a clawback by the User of any part of the Purchase Receivable paid to SeaMoney.
9.3 The User and Third Party Merchant agree that SeaMoney (or its designated affiliate) shall act in its capacity as a disbursement agent of the Third Party Merchant, to disburse and apply the amount received from the Third Party Merchant for the benefit of the User in the following manner for the User:
(a) firstly, set-off any subsequent instalment payment owed by the User under Clause 6.1(b) (if any); and
(b) secondly, if there is any remaining amount after the set-off applied in sub-paragraph (a) above, to transfer the remaining amount to the User by crediting the equivalent stored value amount in the User’s ShopeePay e-Wallet. Where the User does not maintain a ShopeePay e-Wallet, the User shall be entitled to request for the remaining amount to be encashed to the User by contacting the Shopee Customer Service.
10. Third Party Merchant Covenants
10.1 Where you are a Third Party Merchant, you agree and undertake to, upon request by SeaMoney, do such acts and execute all such forms, agreements, deeds and documents and instruments as may be necessary or expedient to enable SeaMoney to exercise the rights, remedies and powers conferred on SeaMoney under this agreement, or in respect of the Purchase Receivables assigned to SeaMoney under this agreement, or to protect the interest of SeaMoney under this agreement, including taking or joining any proceedings to demand, sue for and/or recover the whole or any part of the Purchase Receivables and other sums assigned to SeaMoney.
