2. Our commitment to you

Where you have a service with Pickle that does not include account usage charges, we will not change the amount or frequency of drawing arrangements without your prior approval. Where you have a service with Pickle that does include account usage charges, the amount and frequency of the drawing arrangements will be as per the terms and conditions of your service agreement with us. This may require drawing at various times in the month to cover the usage charges you have incurred.

Pickle will not disclose your details except where necessary to Pickle’s financial institution and for the purposes of conducting direct debits with your financial institution. Pickle will give you at least 14 days’ notice in writing if there are changes to the terms of the drawing arrangements. Pickle may give this notice to you by post, email or via noticed posted on the Pickle payment portal.

For monthly recurring subscription charges, Pickle will draw from your nominated financial institution account normally 7 days prior to the expiry of your current account’s subscription period. Due drawing date is set to the 15th day of the month at 11.30pm EST.

3. Your commitment to us

It is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure your nominated account can accept direct debits.
  • Ensure there are sufficient funds available in the nominated account to meet each drawing.
  • Update your payment source details via the Pickle payment portal if the nominated account is transferred or closed, or if the account details change.
  • Arrange an alternative payment method acceptable to Pickle if the drawing arrangements are cancelled.
  • Ensure that all account holders on the nominated financial institution account have authorised the Direct Debit via the Pickle Payment Portal.

If your financial institution rejects a Direct Debit transaction, Pickle will charge you a fee of $10 by debiting this to your Pickle service account. This $10 fee will be in addition to any fees your financial institution charges you for the debit dishonour.
