Step 7 of 9 · Paying by pre-authorized debit
The debit agreement
"Read the debit agreement": what may be taken and when, the 10 days' notice, cancelling, and your right to dispute a debit. "I agree" or "Not now".
Watch out: Read it to the end before "I agree". Your acceptance is recorded with the agreement's version and the date.

Reg. 137/15 (General) under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, read on e-Laws on October 23, 2026. This explains how KeepCount works; it is not legal advice, and the Ministry's program advisors decide compliance.
