20. What if the App goes down?

Like any online service, we cannot guarantee that the Caltex App will be uninterrupted or error-free. It is up to you to take any precautions necessary to ensure you do not incur losses or costs if the Caltex App is affected by an interruption or error.

Caltex Pay-in-app

The Pay-in-app feature provides you with the convenience of paying for fuel in the App on arrival at any participating Caltex stations as an alternative to paying in store.

23. How do I use Pay-in-app?

To use Pay-in-app:

Make sure you have downloaded the Caltex App to your device.
Add your payment card details by following the process in the App.
Drive into your local participating Caltex station. Tap your App to pick a pump and fuel amount.
Lift the correct nozzle and fuel up!

If you’d like further guidance, watch our instructional video.

24. Your payment cards

To use Pay-in-app, you must register your valid and non-expired credit card or debit card issued by a New Zealand bank, or a Z Business Card issued by Z Energy which is eligible at Caltex.

25. Can I use my Z Business Card with Pay-in-app?

Yes! Pay-in-app supports payments using Z Business Card. Standard Z Business Terms and Conditions  also apply.

26. Using Z Business Fuel Cards with Pay-in-app

If you use a Z Business fuel card for Pay-in-app, there is no ability for an odometer reading to be recorded, and no PIN will be required.

Before a Pay-in-app transaction is authorised by the App, a check is done to make sure that the Z Business fuel card is not over its designated limit. However, it is possible that a Z Business fuel card will be under its designated limit before the Pay-in-app transaction, but the purchase could cause the limit to be exceeded.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are operating within the limit of your Z Business fuel card. Where you use a Z Business fuel card as the payment card, any restrictions set up by the account holder as to the type of fuel that can be purchased, will also apply to the Pay-in-app transaction.

If you select a type of fuel in the App that is not authorised by the account holder, the transaction will be declined.

27. Expired, lost or stolen payment cards

You will not be able to register or continue to use a payment card for Pay-in-app if it has expired, has been reported stolen by the issuer of your payment card, or is no longer eligible for use in the App for any reason.

If your mobile device or your physical payment card is lost or stolen you must immediately cancel all digital occurrences of that payment card as registered on your App account. You can email caltexnzapp@z.co.nz for help deleting or cancelling all digital occurrences of their Credit and Debit Card with App.

You acknowledge that registering your payment card in App provides for a Card Not Present digital occurrence of your physical card. Therefore while you have a payment card registered for Pay-in-app, if your physical card is cancelled, or expires, the payment card registered on your account will also be cancelled or expired and Pay-in-app will not be available. If you choose to cancel or deregister from the App, or delete the App altogether, this will have no effect on your physical payment card which you will still be able to use.

28. Pre-authorisation holds

You authorise a pre-authorisation hold against your credit card account (for credit cards) or bank account (for debit cards), or Z Business account, for Z Business fuel cards, equal to the Pay-in-app purchase limit you have set in the Z App (including GST).

A pre-authorisation hold will be made each time you authorise payment using a payment card for Pay-in-app.

You give authorisation for a pre-authorisation hold each time you use or attempt to use Pay-in-app.

Multiple pre-authorisation holds may occur from time to time. You should contact the issuer of your payment card (including us, in the instance of Z Business fuel cards) for any queries regarding these.

If a pre-authorisation hold is not granted for any reason (for example, insufficient funds are detected, or you your credit limit would be exceeded), you will not be able to proceed with your Payin-app transaction.

We are not responsible for, and have no influence over, the time it takes for your bank (who issued your payment card) to release a temporary hold or pre-authorisation hold. If you have any queries on this, we suggest you contact the issuer of your payment card.

29. You need to enable location services

Pay-in-app uses location services on your mobile device. For the pay-in-app feature to work Location Services are required to be turned when the App is in use.

IMPORTANT! Your location data may be ‘personal information’. We collect and handle personal information in accordance with our privacy policy.

30. Additional discounts and prize draws

If you are a Pay-in-app user, we may from time to time add additional discounts to any ‘stacked’ Pumped balance you may have and/or enter you into prize draws. Whether we do any of these things is entirely our decision.

31. Can I earn Airpoints Dollars™ or Flybuys?

You can earn Airpoints Dollars™ or Flybuys on your Pay-in-app fuel purchases. If you use Pay-in-app with your Z Business Card, you will collect Airpoints Dollars™ or Flybuys in accordance with how your account has been set up.

32. Receipts

A GST receipt will be issued by email to you after each fuel purchase within the App.

Caltex Digital Price Board

The digital price board feature provides you with the ability to view digital price boards at participating Caltex stations for all fuel within an approximate 10-kilometre radius from your location.

33. It’s a trial product

36. You may be required to indemnify us

IMPORTANT! To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless against all losses, liabilities, claims (including third party claims), damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses that were caused or contributed to otherwise arise from your breach of the digital price board do’s and don’ts.

However, you will not be liable to the extent that we have caused or contributed to such losses through our own negligence, breach of these terms or unlawful conduct.

37. No guarantee the digital price board will always be accurate

While we strive to ensure our prices presented in the digital price board are up to date, we cannot guarantee they will always be accurate. We take no responsibility for your reliance on information in the digital price board.

38. Does the digital price board show the Pumped discount?

Yes! You can choose to display prices with the Pumped discount applied, by following the steps in the App.

Please note that some Caltex sites occasionally hold special (non-Pumped) discounts. The App does not display non-Pumped discounts, and you will not be able to display prices with non-Pumped discounts applied.

39. Are all Caltex sites visible on the digital price board?

Not currently. While the majority of our sites are signed-up to digital price board, there are a few sites that will not be visible, and the digital price board will not display those sites’ pricing information.
