Customer Details
If you change your address or contact details, it is your responsibility to advise the Wairarapa Times-Age as soon as possible to ensure the continuous delivery of your subscription.

Recurring payment Direct Debit/Credit Card
Recurring payment by direct debit or continuous credit card authority is the easiest way to pay your subscription invoice, with the amount due (as per your invoice) debited automatically from your bank account or nominated credit card.  Direct Debits are debited on the 15th day of each month. Credit Cards are debited on the 20th day of each month. The amount debited each month will only change when you suspend your home delivery while on holiday or we credit you for a missed delivery.  Please note, as this is a “recurring” payment method, no surcharge will apply when using your credit card.
By signing and returning the Direct Debit form you grant the Wairarapa Times-Age a direct debit or continuous credit card authority.
Download the Direct Debit Form here, fill it in with your details and email the form back to [email protected].

Your subscription will not expire and will renew automatically into the next subscription period.  This means we will continue to deliver and charge you for such deliveries until you notify us to stop delivery.

Cancellation
You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time.  Any payments made in advance may be refunded unless you have signed up to one of our Gift with Subscription promotions (see terms and conditions; Gift with Subscription), in which case no refunds will be issued.
