You may incur charges from the provider of the respective payment method in these circumstances, but We will not be liable for any such charges.

Consent for each of the payment transactions in the series is assumed to have been given until such time as You click to revoke such consent from within Your Account area. You can revoke a Recurring Payment Transaction up until the end of the Business Day preceding the agreed day for payment. At the time You revoke Your permission for Recurring Payment Transactions, Your consent for future payment transactions will have been withdrawn and no future Recurring Payment Transactions in the series will be permitted.

Charges for all purchases made by You are collected from Your Account once You complete the purchase.

Alternatively You may select the source of funding at the time of making the purchase. We will make the necessary payment instructions on Your behalf. We reserve the right to limit Your choice of funding sources for any individual payment at Our discretion. In no circumstances shall We have any duty to provide You with any overdraft, credit or equivalent.
10.4 Payment failure: We can apply a Failed Payment Fee where a payment that We have requested from Your selected payment method has failed for any reason, such as a direct debit failure, insufficient funds in Your selected account or due to Your payment service provider failing the payment request for some other reason. We can also apply a second Failed Payment Fee where We make a second attempt to collect any outstanding balance on Your Account, as described in section 10.5, and that attempt fails for any reason. We will not be entitled to charge a Failed Payment Fee where a failure is due to Our fault.
10.5 Outstanding payment reminders: Where You have insufficient monetary value in Your Account to satisfy a payment due and We have been unable to obtain the value of the required balance in accordance with section 10.3:
(a) We will send You an outstanding payment reminder by email or post immediately after the payment failure;
(b) If You continue to have insufficient funds in Your Account one week after deemed receipt of the first notice, We may send You a second reminder. If You continue to have insufficient funds in Your Account one week after deemed receipt of the second notice, depending on the country in which Your Account is opened, We may terminate Your Account;
(c) Where we have notified You that we will do so in an outstanding payment reminder, We may within two weeks after sending You the reminder, make a second attempt to collect the outstanding balance from Your source of funding as identified under section 10.3. We have the right to apply a second Failed Payment Fee where such a second attempt fails for any reason (other than due to Our fault);
(d) We may charge You an Outstanding Payment Reminder Fee as set out in the fee table in respect of the outstanding payment reminders that We have sent You.
10.6 Currency: If You make a purchase or receive a credit from a Merchant in a currency other than the currency in which Your Account is denominated, We will specify the amount to be collected from Your Account, based on the currency exchange rate at the time of the purchase available from a reputable currency exchange rate service provider used by Us. We will charge a Currency Exchange Fee where we are required to exchange currency for You. The total amount to be collected from Your Account, the exchange rate, any applicable fee set out in the fee table (such as a Currency Exchange Fee), and the breakdown of such fees, will be displayed at the time of purchase.
10.7 Debt collection: Where We are unable to obtain sufficient funds from You to satisfy any payment due, We may transfer responsibility for collecting the outstanding debt to a debt collection agency. In this case the External Collection Agency Fee will be chargeable (see the fee table) and interest on late payments will be accrued in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 as amended and supplemented by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002 and We will be entitled to suspend further services.
11.1 Your right to withdraw funds: You can request withdrawal of all or part of monetary value from Your Account at any time by logging into Your Account and following instructions in the "Withdrawal" section. Amounts will be redeemed at par and in the currency in which Your Account is denominated. Once Your Account has been closed and these Terms of Use terminated under section 13, if You request a withdrawal We will only allow the redemption of the total (and not partial) value in Your Account. Withdrawn funds will be paid to You by electronic transfer to an account nominated by You at a bank or other financial undertaking, subject to verification checks carried out in accordance with section 12.4. It will be Your responsibility to ensure that We are provided with the correct information.
11.2 We will complete Your transfer request as soon as We have successfully completed the checks referred to in section 12.4. We will endeavour to ensure that the funds reach this account within five business days from the point We initiate these transfer instructions. We will not however be in breach of this provision if the failure of the funds to reach the account in time is caused by an error outside Our control on the part of any third party involved in the funds transfer.
11.3 Withdrawal Handling Fee prior to termination: We will charge You a Withdrawal Handling Fee (as set out in the fee table) where You withdraw monetary value from Your Account prior to the closure of Your Account under Section 13.
11.4 We will deduct any applicable fee under section 11.3 from Your Account as set out in the fee table. Where a Withdrawal Handling Fee applies, You will be presented with the total fees for the withdrawal after You have logged Your withdrawal request and before completion of the withdrawal, allowing You the opportunity to cancel Your request. We reserve the right to charge You a Correction Fee according to the fee table if wrong or incorrect payment details are provided or if a withdrawal fails or is impeded due to any other reason other than due to Our fault (e.g. returned or cancelled cheque, payment returned by recipient's bank).
11.5 Dormant Account Maintenance Fee after 12 months of inactivity: We reserve the right to charge You a Dormant Account Maintenance Fee as detailed in the fee table when Your Account is not actively being used for payment transactions (i.e. the Account is "Dormant"). We will apply the Dormant Account Maintenance Fee:
(a) where Your Account is open and has monetary value on it, but has been Dormant for 12 months; and
(b) where Your Account has been terminated and closed and is therefore Dormant, but still has monetary value on it 12 months after the closure of the Account.
11.6 The Dormant Account Maintenance Fee will include an amount in respect of Our costs of maintaining records for, administering and keeping safe Your monetary value and will be deducted from Your Account on a monthly basis until the monetary value is redeemed by You. Application of this fee will result in the reduction of Your monetary value, even to a nil balance. To avoid the Dormant Account Maintenance Fee it is important You request a withdrawal of any remaining monetary value before Your Account has been Dormant for 12 months or more (whether pre- or post- Account termination).
11.7 No Withdrawal Handling Fee for withdrawal on termination or 12 months afterwards: If You withdraw Your monetary value at the point Your Account is closed or within the next 12 months, You will not have to pay a Withdrawal Handling Fee for withdrawal or a Dormant Account Maintenance Fee.
11.8 No withdrawal rights after 6 years: We are not required to redeem to You monetary value in Your Account where You request a withdrawal more than (6) six years from the date on which Your Account was closed and terminated under section 13.
12.1 Responsibility for instructions: You are solely responsible for the instructions given to Us and for this reason We may not be able to detect errors in Your payment instructions. We are responsible for processing a payment order only in accordance with the information provided by You.
12.2 Payments not reversible: You should note that all payments made are final and not reversible once consent for execution of the transaction has been provided by You. We cannot arrange for funds to be given back to You where You believe the payment was made in error unless such error was caused by Us.
12.3 Disputes with third parties: Where You dispute a transaction with another party, We will not enter into the dispute in any way other than to confirm that the payment was made in accordance with Your instructions. We do not act as agent for either the Merchant or You and do not have responsibility for resolving any disputes between the Merchant and You.
12.4 Checks: Before making any payment from or to Your Account We may carry out various checks in connection with avoiding money laundering and/or fraud or to check whether the holder of the electronic money is the person who is entitled to redeem it as required by any applicable law.
12.5 FSCS not applicable: The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) does not apply to the Service or the funds stored on Your Account and Your Account balance is not insured by any other government agency.

Summary
ClickandBuy publishes its Acceptance Policy in order to maintain compliance with applicable legislation as well as policies which may – if violated - affect our ability to supply a quality payment service to its customers.
ClickandBuy must not be used to send, receive, upload, download, use, re-use, offer or supply any offer or other message, information or material or to advertise, promote, sell or offer for sale any information, material or product which can be assigned to one of the categories below. Any transaction appearing on ClickandBuy which does appear to fall onto one of these categories may be reversed and any ClickandBuy account not adhering to this policy may be suspended or terminated to prevent further breach of our guidelines as per the Terms and Conditions of service.
Some of the guidelines require detailed knowledge of laws in different countries. As ClickandBuy does not always have that detailed knowledge of all business sectors in all jurisdictions around the world, it is ultimately the account holder's responsibility to trade only where and when it is legal to do so. Any customer who is unsure of their legality, or disregards this guidance, is deemed to be in breach of these guidelines.
1. Illegal Adult Content or Services
ClickandBuy will not process transactions which are related to goods or services, including an image, which is partly offensive and lacks serious artistic value such as:
Or any other material that ClickandBuy, at its sole discretion, deems unacceptable for sale in connection with its brand.
2. Firearms, Weapons and Knives
ClickandBuy may not be used in the purchase or sale of any physical firearm. This includes all rifles, shotguns, and handguns, whether for use in sporting, as collectibles, or curio and relic firearms, and regardless of their present working order.
Also, ClickandBuy may not be used to buy or sell ammunition or gunpowder. The term "ammunition" means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellant powder designed for use in any firearm.
This guideline does not extend to advertisements for such items. Advertisements would be permitted to be charged for using ClickandBuy.
3. Illegal Drugs & Paraphernalia
ClickandBuy may not be used to fund, in any way, the purchase of illegal drugs, or materials, utilities or paraphernalia (equipment used to administer or produce drugs) which could be construed to be for the use of administering illegal drugs.
This guideline is designed to provide clarification regarding illegal drugs. It is accepted that some drugs are classified differently from country to country, and therefore may not be illegal. Queries relating to specific cases should be directed to the ClickandBuy Compliance department.
4. Unauthorized Copies (infringement of copyright)
ClickandBuy will not accept transactions which trade (or appear to trade) in unauthorized copies (pirated, duplicated, backup, etc.) of software programs, video games, music, movies, television programs, photographs or any other products which could be in breach of copyright law in any territory.
5. Pyramid Selling vs. Multi-Level Marketing, “get rich quick” and Ponzi schemes
ClickandBuy will not accept transactions which follow the Pyramid Selling model.
There could be confusion between an acceptable multi-level marketing scheme and a pyramid selling scheme. In such cases, clarification should be sought from ClickandBuy’s Compliance department.
6. Third Parties’ Rights
ClickandBuy will not process transactions which are related to goods or services, including images, which are offensive, abusive, defamatory, otherwise obscene or menacing, or in breach of confidence, privacy or any other rights of third parties, or which will cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety.
7. Further Restrictions
Some transactions may be supported by ClickandBuy, however with specific restrictions. Examples of such transaction types are listed below, and clarification on acceptability can be obtained from the ClickandBuy Compliance department.
The contents of this policy are not exhaustive, and may be updated at any time in order to satisfy ClickandBuy’s own corporate risk management processes. Any uncertainty over accepting transactions via ClickandBuy should be clarified by contacting the ClickandBuy Compliance department via compliance@clickandbuy-t1.com
