v.i fees and charges associated with the services
v.i.i service fee: Every purchase you make with the Services will be subject to a Service Fee. The Service Fee is used to keep your personal data private and maintain nate’s services necessary to process your Service transactions. For standard purchases, the Service Fee will be charged to your chosen payment method on the date of the nate purchase. For Pay Later purchases, the Service fee will be divided into four virtually equal installments, each added to one of the four installments. For Pay Later transactions, the additional nate Pay Later Terms and Conditions apply (https://www.nate.tech/paylater-terms)

v.i.ii reactivation fees: If for any reason nate is unable to collect payment from you,and such payment is not completed within three (3) days of the initial payment, YOUR USE OF THE NATE PURCHASING FUNCTIONALITY WILL BE SUSPENDED ENTIRELY. You will not be able to make any purchases with nate until you pay back the outstanding installment and the Reactivation fee described below.Should you want to Reactivate your account, you may be subject to a reactivation fee of currently $10 (“Reactivation Fee”). We reserve the right to change this fee. If a grace period of an additional 3 days has elapsed, nate reserves the right to charge another payment method you have on file for the full amount outstanding, as well as the Reactivation Fee. If this payment is successful and we are able to collect both the outstanding installment and the Reactivation Fee, you will be able to continue purchasing with nate. If this is unsuccessful, your account will remain deactivated until we are able to collect the Reactivation Fee. This Reactivation Fee applies to ALL purchases made on nate via any payment method, and you are still liable for any pending payments while your account is deactivated.

v.i.iii your responsibilities for sufficient funds: You are responsible for ensuring that your chosen payment method is in good standing and has sufficient available funds to pay for your Service purchases and the Service Fee at the time of the nate purchase and, for Pay Later transactions, on each applicable installment payment date (“Sufficient Funds”). If your payment method is not in good standing or does not have Sufficient Funds at the time of the purchase transaction, your purchase transaction may be declined or reversed.
If you fail to make a payment when due under this Agreement, your nate Services account will be deactivated, and you will not be able to make any purchases with the Services until such time that the amount due and the Reactivation Fee is paid in full. In addition, if your payment method is not in good standing or does not have Sufficient Funds at the time of the purchase via the Services but we process it anyway, your bank may charge you fees for overdrawing your Card or your designated bank account for direct debit (“Account”). If you overdraw your Card or Account, that may also result in your breaching the terms of your applicable agreement with the card issuer and/or bank and may impact your credit rating.

vi. nate account management
account deactivation: If nate is unable to collect payment from you for any purchase with any payment method, your nate account will be deactivated after a 3 day grace period. This means that you can no longer make any purchases with your nate account with any payment method (i.e. Bank, Card, or Pay Later). All other product features will be available for your use. During that grace period, we may retry the charge with your original payment method, or you may inform us that we can use a different payment method you have on file. Following the 3 day grace period, nate reserves the right to attempt to retry your payment with any payment method you have on file for the outstanding balance as well as the Reactivation Fee. Your account will remain deactivated until you pay any outstanding balance as well as the Reactivation Fee as described in the “Fees” section of these Terms. While your account is deactivated, you are still obligated to make payments for any outstanding purchases and Pay Later plans.
‍
account reactivation: If we are successful in collecting the outstanding payment and the Reactivation fee, your account will be automatically Reactivated and you can continue purchasing with nate. You only need to pay the Reactivation fee if you decide you would like to reactivate your nate account. However you are still obligated to pay for any outstanding balances for standard purchases or Pay Later Installments (past due and scheduled).
