Complete etika’s application process, pay the agreed deposit and submit your application. Please note that this involves a credit check. In most cases you will receive an instant decision. If etika require further information for your application, you will be clearly notified and instructed. Easy!

If your application is declined, you can contact etika for more information. An email confirming details of the credit reference agency used will also be sent.

Repaying the loan

Your first direct debit payment will be taken about a month after you receive your purchase. This will show on your statement as a payment to your lender. You have the right to repay all or part of the loan early at any time.

Software Products

Due to the highly regulated policy that goes with applying for finance, Software titles that are classed as 'Download only' or 'Electronic Delivery' are not available to purchase with finance.

Software that is classed as 'Boxed' & have a physical attribute such as a USB drive, CD or similar that can be physically dispatched via courier can still be applied for under finance as long as the products still comply with the other eligibility criteria.

Cancellation and Complaints

There is a 14-day cooling off period where you can withdraw from the credit agreement after signing your documents. If you wish to do this please contact us directly. We can cancel the application on your behalf. There is no need to contact etika.

A payment plan does not affect our standard refund and returns policy. Just contact us and we’ll cancel your application and the lender will refund your deposit and let you know of any outstanding balance if applicable.

 In the event of a complaint from a sale where finance was the payment method we will work to resolve this in-house with you and in line with the Financial Conduct Authority (https://www.fca.org.uk/) & Financial Ombudsman Service (https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/) requirements.
