13. Definitions

Cardholder-Initiated Transaction means a Transaction where the cardholder directly provides their payment credential, and contains verification that a cardholder was involved in the Transaction.

Deferred Payments means a single Transaction which your Customer has granted you permission to perform, but which is processed by you some time after the consent has been granted. For clarity, the amount you eventually charge may be less than (but never more than) the amount to which your Customer has consented.

Fixed Frequency Payments means where your Customer and you entered an arrangement where the frequency of Transactions is fixed, e.g. memberships, subscriptions. The amount of each Transaction may vary, e.g. utility bills.

Installment Payments means one of a series of purchase Transactions, initiated by you, using card details previously provided by your Customer, acting under authority granted to you by that Customer, where the number of such Transactions, the amount of each Transaction, and the frequency of Transactions being initiated have each been agreed between you and your Customer prior to the first such Transaction being initiated.

Merchant Initiated Transaction means an authorisation request that relates to:

(a) a previous Cardholder-Initiated Transaction; or
(b) a Payment Arrangement,

but conducted without the cardholder present, and without any cardholder validation performed.

Payment Arrangement means an arrangement entered into between you and your Customer, where your Customer has granted authority for you to process eftpos Transaction(s) to occur under specific terms. Payment Arrangements include but are not limited to Fixed Frequency Payments, Installment Payments, Post Payment Adjustment Payments, Deferred Payments, and Pay as You Go Payments.

Pay As You Go Payments means a Payment Arrangement where your Customer or their behaviour subsequently triggers an eftpos Transaction to occur. This could either be an ad-hoc Transaction, e.g. order ahead apps, or Transaction with variable frequency and fixed amount, e.g. auto-top up

Post Payment Adjustment Payments means a single Transaction arising when action by your Customer subsequent to a previously authorised payment, has resulted in additional charges owed you, which you have initiated using the card details provided during the original payment.
