Pave Lite Subscription

1.1 As a user of the Pave App (the “App”), you may subscribe to our Pave Lite subscription service. This subscription gives you access to several products and services such as Credit Builder, Bills Alerts, Bills Protection, and your Credit Score from TransUnion. By subscribing to Pave Lite, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these Pave Lite Terms (the “Terms”) together with the App Terms. These terms are applicable to Pave Lite subscribers on or after January 24th 2022.

Pave Lite Subscription Fees

1.2 Pave Lite is a subscription service which costs £5 a month. This fee will be taken on a specified date each month (the “Renewal Date”). The monthly subscription fee (the “Subscription Fee”), is payable by you, in your capacity as a Pave Lite service user. 

1.3 When you join Pave Lite, you will have immediate and automatic access to our Credit Builder service. Credit Builder lets you pay your Subscription Fee using a Revolving Credit Facility, which also helps build your credit score at the same time. 

Bills Protection Application

1.4 As a Pave Lite subscriber, you can also make an application for our Bills Protection service. Based on your application information, you may be eligible to request a draw down (the "Draw Down") on your Revolving Credit Facility (“the Request”) for eligible bills. For the avoidance of doubt, reference to a Draw Down means the provision of cash from Pave to you provided under these Terms and repayable under the same.

1.5 You confirm that all personal information you will provide in relation to your Bills Protection Application is true and accurate. For the avoidance of doubt personal information refers to any information relating to you including, but not limited to, your name, email address, date of birth, address, current employer details, employment details and hours worked, average monthly savings and income and debt obligations, and bank account information. You shall immediately notify us of any changes. We shall process your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

1.6 While you may have more than one account on the App, you agree that you may only Draw Down once at any time irrespective of the number of accounts you have. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that you will not be eligible to Draw Down again where your current Draw Down is outstanding and has not been repaid in full to us.

1.7 You must provide us with details of a linked bank account for the Draw Down and in accordance with our Terms. You agree that the linked bank account must be your main bank account. If your employer or another organisation pays for your use of the App, your main bank account is the one that receives payments from such employer or other organisation. You must retain the connection with your linked bank account until the Draw Down is repaid in full to us.

1.8 If your Request is successful, we shall notify you accordingly through the App. If you wish to make changes to the Request, please contact us as soon as possible. You will be able to contact us for these purposes on the following – email: team@paveapp.com or via WhatsApp: +447476556252.

1.9 A legally binding contract will come into existence between you and us in accordance with these Terms and the Credit Agreement.

1.10 We may need further information from you in order for us to approve your Request or during the period of the contract. To the extent that additional information is required, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it we may decline the Request.

1.11 Upon Pave's acceptance of your request, the Draw Down, of the amount agreed by Pave, will be made to you via the App to your linked bank account. No interest or any other charges shall be payable on the outstanding Bills Protection amount paid to you by us. You may also apply for a Draw Down without subscribing to the Pave Lite services. To do so, please email team@paveapp.com and state that you would like to use Bills Protection without subscribing to the Pave Lite services.

1.12 Pave reserves all rights to adjust or refuse Draw Downs, and will notify you in such an instance accordingly.

Bills Protection Payment

1.13 Upon Pave’s acceptance of your request, the Draw Down, of the amount agreed by Pave, will be made to you via the App to your linked bank account. Users of the Pave Lite service will be charged a monthly subscription fee (the “Subscription Fee”), which is payable by you, in your capacity as a Pave Lite service user, regardless of whether or not you are in receipt of the Draw Down. The Subscription Fee shall become payable together with the Draw Down, where you receive the Draw Down (as applicable), in accordance to clause 1.14 below. No interest or any other charges shall be payable on the outstanding Bills Protection amount paid to you by us.

Bills Protection Repayment

1.14 Repayment(s) will be paid in minimum £25 instalments (or less if Draw Down amount was less than £25) and the Draw Down is fully due within 30 days of receiving it. If you fail to repay within 30 days, we will automatically attempt to recover the Draw Down for a further 30 days. If we are unable to recover the Draw Down, you may lose access to the Pave App. You can also pay off the remaining balance in full before the 60th day at any point.

1.15 Pave will send you repayment reminders, via the App, at reasonable intervals before the date the Draw Down is due.

1.16 Payments can be made via debit or via a continuous payment authority (this is where you choose to give us the authority to directly take repayments from your account on the due date).

TransUnion Credit Score & Report

1.17 In order to gain access to the TransUnion Credit Score and Report, you will be required to successfully pass an authentication process. This requires us to share some of your data to TransUnion (and its subcontractors), full details on TransUnion’s privacy policy can be found here. Not everyone will successfully pass authentication and neither Pave nor TransUnion are required to notify you why you have not been successfully authenticated. One reason for this may be that, at the time you request access to view your TransUnion Credit Score and Report, TransUnion has been unable to match your personal details to the correct credit profile in its database.

1.18 You must only request your TransUnion Credit Score and Report data for your own personal, non-commercial use and not on behalf of anyone else. You cannot request credit information about any third party using Pave.

1.19 TransUnion shall use its reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of the information provided as part of TransUnion Credit Score and Report, however, TransUnion cannot guarantee that it is completely accurate.

1.24 You understand that any information provided as part of TransUnion Score is provided for guidance and information only. The fact that you have a good credit score does not mean that a lender, credit card company or other provider of financial services products will accept your application, and they have their own acceptance criteria. A credit score does not take into consideration affordability issues which are also considered by financial services/credit providers.
