These terms and conditions are a contract between you (the person in whose name the Farm Source Rewards Card (card) account has been opened) (the Account Holder) and each holder of a card on that account (each a cardholder) and RD1 Limited trading as Farm Source. By signing the Application form or by accepting and using your card you confirm your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
The card is issued by Farm Source and remains the property of Farm Source at all times. Farm Source controls the use of the card and you are accountable to Farm Source for its use at all times.
Each card will contain the following;
Each card will be issued with a confidential PIN. You must keep this safe and confidential. Each card is subject to purchase and credit limits. For details of the limits or to request changes to the limits, please contact us. Only the Account Holder can request changes to limits.
Your card can only be used in New Zealand at participating merchants.
You must ensure that your card carries your signature and is only used during its valid period of use. When using the card, you must either use a PIN or sign your name in the spaces provided on the sales voucher provided by the merchant. You are responsible for ensuring the correct sale amount is entered when using your PIN or signing the sales voucher. By entering the PIN or signing the sales voucher you are authorising the product purchase and this will be charged to the Account of the Account Holder.
If you incorrectly enter your PIN 3 consecutive times the card will be automatically locked and unavailable for 24 hours. Your card will be automatically reset after this time. The Account Holder named in the Application form accepts liability arising from your use of the card.
You must not let any other person use your card, card number or PIN. Should you need additional cards, they may be issued to a person nominated by the Account Holder provided such nominated person is over 18 years of age. In such cases the card must carry the signature of the nominated person. This enables goods to be charged to the Account of the Farm Source Account Holder. The Farm Source Account Holder will be bound by the use of any additional cards as if the Farm Source Account Holder had used them personally.
Cards will only be accepted by participating merchants. You cannot cancel a transaction charged to your card. Farm Source will not be liable for any failure of participating merchants to supply goods, the refusal of any outlet to accept your card or to decline payment via the card nor will Farm Source be responsible in any way for the quality or fitness for purpose of any goods or services purchased using your card. You should retain your original sales docket as proof of purchase for all warranty claims. Farm Source shall in no way be liable for any such claims, and they should be referred to the selling merchant.
The Account Holder who has authorised the issue of additional cards and each cardholder are liable jointly and severally for all amounts owing on cardholders’ cards. This means that the Farm Source Account Holder or any one or more cardholders may be required to pay the outstanding balance owed on an account.
You must contact Farm Source immediately if;
You must give all information Farm Source reasonably requests regarding the loss or misuse of the card. Farm Source may pass on related information to participating merchants, banks, the police or those involved in processing card payments. Until Farm Source receives any such notice you are liable for any transactions conducted by any unauthorised person.
A 24 hour toll free number (0800 731 266) is available to report lost/stolen/misused cards.
You may suspend or cancel your card at any time by forwarding a written request to Farm Source Head Office or to any Store Manager.
Farm Source may cancel or suspend your right to use your card at any time (including, without limitation, if credit or purchase limits are exceeded and/or payments are not made by the 20th of the month following purchase). Once such action is requested or notified, you must return the card immediately to Farm Source, PO Box 9045, Hamilton 3240 or to your nearest Store.
We may also require the Account Holder or any one or more cardholders to immediately pay the outstanding balance of the account including all charges accruing until the date of cancellation and any reasonable costs incurred by Farm Source in collecting payments.
Following suspension or cancellation of your card you, other cardholders and the Account Holder have a continuing liability to pay outstanding amounts, including from transactions subsequently debited to the account, and any interest, fees and other charges payable under these terms and conditions.

Farm Source will issue the Account Holder with a statement following the close of each calendar month. The statement will provide details of all purchases made during the month using your card.
The Account Holder is responsible for checking the monthly statement to ensure the purchases recorded are correct. Any disputed or unauthorised transactions appearing on the statement must be notified to Farm Source with 10 days from the date of the Farm Source Statement. Farm Source reserves the right to reject any claim of error at its discretion.
Both the Account Holder and each holder of a card on that account are jointly and severally liable for amounts debited to the card account. Farm Source may debit your card with fees and other charges. These are subject to change and are provided on nzfarmsource.co.nz/store. The amount due on the monthly statement and other charges must be paid on the 20th of the month following purchase, without any setoff or deduction. Any amount charged to the account in excess of the credit limit advised to you from time to time is payable on demand.
Farm Source reserves the right to suspend or permanently cancel card facilities if credit limits are exceeded and/or payments are not made by the 20th of the month following purchase. Farm Source reserves the right to take reasonable action to recover any outstanding debt and reverse any discounts or credit rebates obtained by using the card and appearing on the invoice. Interest will be charged on all overdue balances from the date payment was due until it is paid at the prevailing interest rate detailed on nzfarmsource.co.nz/store. If no such rate is detailed the rate of 24% per annum shall be applicable.
You must immediately pay all costs (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis) incurred in collecting or attempting to collect your overdue payments. Farm Source may deduct payments which are required to be paid to Farm Source from any money owed to the Farm Source Account Holder or you by Fonterra or any of its related companies.
When Farm Source makes payment to suppliers for goods and services you have purchased Farm Source may receive a rebate, commission or fee from the supplier for providing marketing and billing services.
