      1. it is your duty (and neither hoolah SG nor hoolah Factor/Assignee shall bear any responsibility in respect thereof) to notify the Merchant of any Refund request and to comply with the Merchant’s refund process and any other statutory requirements in relation to such refund process;

      2. the Merchant shall lodge such Refund request with hoolah SG within sixty (60) calendar days of the creation of the Order on the hoolah System. Any Refund request beyond this time must be expressly agreed between you and the Merchant, and the Merchant shall notify hoolah within 24 hours of such agreement to Refund;

      3. where a Consumer has fully paid all three Instalments and a full Refund is agreed as between you and the Merchant (acting on behalf of hoolah Factor/Assignee), you shall return the disputed Product(s) (where applicable) to the Merchant and the Merchant shall acknowledge receipt of the disputed Product(s), upon which:

        1. unless agreed otherwise by hoolah SG and hoolah Factor/Assignee, the Merchant will pay an amount equal to the corresponding Deferred Payables to hoolah SG (as collection agent) who will pay over such amount to you; and

        2. your Account will, thereafter, be updated to reflect the full Refund;

      4. where a partial Refund is agreed as between you and the Merchant (acting on behalf of hoolah Factor/Assignee), you shall return the disputed Product(s) (where applicable) to the Merchant and the Merchant shall acknowledge receipt of the disputed Product(s), upon which:

        1. the amount of the partial Refund will first be applied (rateably, where applicable) against any Instalments (whether due or not yet due) owed by you to hoolah Factor/Assignee which correspond with the Order in respect of which the partial Refund was agreed and which remain unpaid by you. You irrevocably authorise hoolah SG to apply such Refund payment amounts to the extent required to fully satisfy such unpaid Instalments and that such Refund payment amounts (or relevant part thereof) will be, in view of hoolah SG's capacity as the collection and payment agent of hoolah Factor/Assignee, deemed to be immediately and automatically applied to the satisfaction of such unpaid Instalments without requirement for any further action by hoolah SG. Your Account will be updated to reflect the application of such Refund payment amounts (or relevant part thereof) to such unpaid Instalments;

        2. the Merchant (or if agreed to by hoolah Factor/Assignee) hoolah Factor/Assignee will then pay the remainder (if any) of the partial Refund, and which is attributable to the Product(s) in respect of which there has been a partial Refund, to hoolah SG (as collection agent) who will pay over such amount to you;

        3. your Account will, thereafter, be updated to reflect the partial Refund.

    4. For the avoidance of doubt, neither hoolah SG nor hoolah Factor/Assignee is obliged to contact or to seek a Refund or Reversal on behalf of you or a Merchant.

    5. You agree that hoolah SG and hoolah Factor/Assignee is not responsible for and is not liable for any actions which the Merchant, hoolah SG or hoolah Factor/Assignee takes or fails to take, in respect of a dispute, a Reversal or a Refund (whether expressed under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise), and that hoolah SG and hoolah Factor/Assignee will not be liable for any loss, liability, costs or expenses incurred by you as a result of its taking or failing to take such action.

    6. Upon receipt of a Reversal or Refund request, hoolah SG shall, within a reasonable time, process such request and request the Merchant or hoolah Factor/Assignee (as applicable) to pay such refund amount to hoolah SG’s payment processor to be processed in line with the payment processor’s practices. In this regard, you acknowledge and agree that any refund amount due to be paid to your Nominated Payment Method is subject to handling methods outside hoolah SG or hoolah Factor/Assignee’s control and you shall not hold hoolah SG or hoolah Factor/Assignee responsible for any delays caused directly or indirectly by any financial institution or its agents associated with your Nominated Payment Method.
