Schedule
  1. Order Creation Charges

    Consumers shall bear the following costs associated with each Order made:

    1. Fees: nil

    2. Charges: nil

  2. Late Payment Charges

    The following Late Payment Charges shall be charged to Consumers for the failure to pay any Instalment(s) by their Scheduled Due Date and any accompanying grace period (where applicable). Late Payment Charges are calculated by the Order Value:

Order Value Late payment Charge
RM 0.00 – 99.99 RM 7.50
RM 100.00 – 499.99 RM 25
RM 500 and above RM 75

Example:

Robert makes a purchase using hoolah with an Order Value of RM 600. This will create three (3) separate and equal Instalments of RM 200 each. Each time Robert fails to pay the Instalment by the Scheduled Due Date and within any accompanying grace period (where applicable), he will be charged a Late Payment Charge of RM 15. The maximum Late Payment Charge that he can accumulate on this Order is RM 30 (i.e. As instalment 1 is paid up-front, only instalment 2 and 3 could become overdue, which would incur a Late Payment Charge of RM 15 each, represented as 2 x RM 15 = RM 30).
