2 – Terms and Conditions

2.1. Your agreement is between Glow as lender and you to finance the purchase of eligible goods including any related delivery charges, if any (the "Financed Goods"). These terms and conditions and the payment schedule provided to you ("Payment Schedule"), constitute your "Loan Agreement". Your Payment Schedule can be located within the T&Cs PDF attached to your 'Welcome to EE Finance' email upon activation of your short term loan.

2.2. To obtain the loan, you must also enter into a contract of sale with EE in respect of the Financed Goods. The EE Terms and Conditions of Sale will apply to the purchase of your Goods (including, where applicable, returns).

3 – Amount of Credit

3.1. Credit amount: The amount of credit is set-out in the Payment Schedule.

3.2. Your APR on the loan is 0%. Your interest rate on the loan is 0%. The APR is the annual cost of a loan including interest and any other charge for credit, expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. As we do not charge fees on your loan, your APR is the same as the interest rate.

3.3. The total charge of credit is £0.

3.4. Total amount payable for the Financed Goods is set out in the Payment Schedule.

3.5. You will not receive any cash amounts under your Loan Agreement. Instead, we will pay an amount to EE in discharge of your obligation to pay the purchase price for the Financed Goods to EE.

4 – Duration of Loan Agreement

4.1. The duration of the Loan Agreement is set out in the Payment Schedule. You can terminate your Loan Agreement prior to the duration stated in the Payment Schedule in accordance with section [7] (Early Repayment).

5 – Repayments

5.1. The amount that you are required to pay on each payment date is set out in the Payment Schedule.

5.2. The first Regular Monthly Payment will become due and payable on the date shown in the Payment Schedule. The Payment Schedule also sets out the dates when your remaining Regular Monthly Payments will become due and payable. The dates when your Regular Monthly Payments become due and payable are calculated as the date falling one month from the date when you complete purchase of the Financed Goods. If your Regular Monthly Payments are due on the 29th, 30th or 31st, and the given month does not include these days, payment will become due on the last day of that month. For example, if your Regular Monthly Payments are normally due on the 31st of each month and the month does not have 31 days, then payment becomes due on the last day of that month which is the 30th. Where your Regular Monthly Payment date falls on a bank holiday, your payment will still be taken on such day.

6 – Continuous Card Payment Authority

6.1. Your Regular Monthly Payments will be taken using the card details you have provided to us.

6.2. You have agreed to grant us a Continuous Payment Authority – this means that we can take your Regular Monthly Payments from the payment method you provided when you applied for the loan.

6.3. We will request your Regular Monthly Payments at the amount and frequency set out in section [5].

6.4. We will only attempt to collect the Regular Monthly Repayment amount and will never attempt to collect any lesser amount unless explicitly agreed with you.

6.6. We will not charge a fee for any failed payment attempts under your Continuous Payment Authority.

6.7. If you do not make payments in full and on time, you will normally have to make an additional payment at the end of the term to cover any late payments and/or late payment fees (although you can pay late payments or missed payment fees at any time).

6.8. If your payment card expires or you change your payment card during the term of your Loan Agreement, you must amend the details of your Continuous Payment Authority via the EE Finance Customer Portal.

7.2. If you partially repay the credit early, we will apply the early repayment evenly across your Instalments. This means that the duration of your Loan Agreement will remain the same, but your monthly Instalments will decrease to smaller equal monthly Instalments with your final Instalment rounded up or down to the nearest whole pence accordingly.
