Aruma’ Direct Debit Request Service Agreement

This document outlines the terms of your direct debit agreement with Aruma (formerly House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation) (‘we’ or ‘us’).

By signing a direct debit request, you have authorised us to arrange for funds to be debited from your account. You should refer to the direct debit request and this agreement for the terms of the arrangement between us and you.

The service agreement below sets out the terms on which we accept and act, under a direct debit request (‘your direct debit request’) you give us to debit specified amounts from your account or credit card under the direct debit system. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1800 068 064.

Our commitment to you

2. We will only make deductions from your account or credit card in the manner agreed in the terms of your direct debit request.
3. The first monthly deduction from your account or credit card will be made within two weeks of your request date; thereafter your deductions will be made monthly on whichever day has been nominated in your request, or the following business day if that day is a non-business day.
4. We cannot change our procedures in this agreement or alter the terms or amount of your direct debit request without giving you at least 14 days written notice.
5. We reserve the right to cancel the direct debit drawing arrangement if two or more drawings are returned unpaid or rejected by your nominated financial institution and to arrange with you an alternate payment method.
6. We will keep all information pertaining to your nominated account at the financial institution or credit card, private and confidential.
