Payments

You warrant that in using this site to make payments (“Online Payments”) you will not impersonate any other person, or use a false name or, without proper authority, act for any other person or organisation.

Eligibility

To be able to use the Online Payments facility on the site, customers need to hold a valid credit card/debit card.

Payment Conditions

Your Online Payment will take a minimum of two (2) working days for debit cards and three (3) working days for credit cards to reach our account (this includes time to verify your credit or debit card details with your card supplier, and for payment to be notified to us). We shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits involving credit or debit cards are processed in a timely manner. However, a number of factors, several of which are outside our control, may contribute to when the funds are received.

We cannot accept liability if payment is refused or declined by the credit or debit card supplier (due to the customer quoting incorrect card details or for other reasons).

Confirmation of Payment

Confirmation of your payment will be displayed on your screen after you make the payment, once the payment has been authorised and accepted. You can print this out as confirmation of your payment. If an e-mail address has been provided, confirmation that your payment has been accepted will also be sent by e-mail.

Discretion to Reject/Hold payments

We reserve the right to refuse to process payments.

We may at our sole discretion do such checks as we may deem fit before processing a credit card payment or bank transfer from the customer, for security reasons. As part of such checks, we may disclose personal data to third parties for the purpose of carrying out these security checks. In the event that we are not satisfied with the creditability of the customer, we will have the right to reject the payment.

The customer acknowledges and agrees that we will not be liable for any damages resulting from our decision not to process a payment made through our Online Payments facility.

Security

Your payment transaction will take place within a secure payment system. All of your personal card details are protected using 128-bit encryption, when transmitted over the Internet.

We will take all reasonable care to keep details of your requests and payment secure, but in the absence of any negligence by us, we cannot be held liable for any loss by you if a third party gains unauthorised access to any details you have provided to this website.
