Direct Debit Request Service Agreement

This is your Direct Debit Request Service Agreement.

Kogan Direct Debit Request Service Agreement

This is your Direct Debit Request Service Agreement (Agreement) with TPG Telecom Limited (ABN 76 096 304 620), the network and service provider of your Kogan plan. This Agreement sets out your obligations in undertaking a direct debit or automatic recharge arrangement with us, and forms part of the terms and conditions of your direct debit request.

1. Debiting your account

1.1 By written, verbal or online consent and/or request you have authorised us (Vodafone ID 119218 and 304962) to arrange for funds to be debited from your account.

1.2 For prepaid plans where you have opted to recharge automatically, we’ll notify you by SMS 3 days before your plan expires and we will draw the same amount as your previous recharge on the day it is due whether or not it is a business day.

1.3 We will continue to rely on your authority to directly debit the amount of each bill or recharge from your nominated account until you advise us of any changes to the arrangements. We reserve the right to cancel the direct debit request or automatic recharge arrangement if one or more drawings are returned unpaid by your financial institution and to arrange with you an alternate payment method.

1.4 If our customer is a company utilising a corporate account, you warrant and represent that you are an authorised representative of that company and may enter into this direct debit request or automatic recharge arrangement on behalf of that company.

2. Cancellations and changes to your direct debit or automatic recharge

2.1 We may change or vary any details of this Agreement or a direct debit request or automatic recharge arrangement at any time if such changes or variations do not have a detrimental impact on you.

2.2 We will provide you with at least fourteen days’ notice for any changes which may have a detrimental impact on you.

2.3 Subject to clause 2.4, you may change, cancel or opt-out of the arrangements under a direct debit request or automatic recharge arrangement by contacting us at least two business days before your payment due date:

  • for all prepaid services (except monthly plans):
    • through your Kogan Mobile Account (either through the Customer portal at https://accounts.koganmobile.com.au/ or via the Kogan mobile app); or
    • by calling us on 12612 (free from your Kogan mobile) or 1300 056 426 from any other phone (local call rate applies) 8am - 8pm AEST/AEDT 7 days a week.

2.4 If you cancel your direct debit request through your financial institution or payment provider without notifying us or providing us with an alternative means of payment, additional charges may apply. Refer to Part C of Section 3 of Vodafone's Standard Form of Agreement available at vodafone.com.au for further details of these charges.

2.5 The plan that you will be automatically recharged on will be the same plan as your most recent recharge. This means that if you recharge your Kogan mobile service to a different Kogan plan and you have automatic recharge turned on, then your automatic recharge amount will be updated to the new plan.
