  4. Robo Voucher Service

    As long as you comply with these terms and pay all relevant fees Robo Voucher will provide you with a right to access and use a website from which you can sell vouchers for your goods and services. This right is not exclusive to you and cannot be transferred by you to anyone else. This right is limited by these terms (including our rights to end this Agreement) and any other limitations that we may inform you of from time to time.


    Robo Voucher will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Facility is properly provided to you. However, because it's a low-cost service, run over the internet, we do not guarantee or represent that the Facility or these services will be error-free, uninterrupted, continuously available, secure, private, or free from viruses or malicious programmes or compatible with any hardware or software you might use. Robo Voucher is not responsible for any delay or failure caused by anything beyond its reasonable control. From time to time, Robo Voucher may need to carry out maintenance that will interrupt access to the Facility. Robo Voucher reserves the right to make changes over time to the Facility, including to the format, layout, look-and-feel, and functionality. Robo Voucher reserves the right to view any part of the Facility including details of any voucher orders.


  5. Fees and payment

    You must pay all applicable fees for your voucher Facility (plus GST) in accordance with the then current fees and payment terms that are posted on Robo Voucher website or that we otherwise notify you of. We may require you to set up an automatic payment to Robo Voucher or provide us with your credit card details so that we can debit your account for the applicable fees. You hereby authorise Robo Voucher to debit your account in this way.

    If you provide a refund to your customers for any reason, we don't have to refund any transaction fees we may have charged you.

    5.1 The Facility is made available on a pay-as-you-go basis and is charged at the start of your chosen subscription term (generally monthly).

    5.2 We may chose, at our sole discretion, to offer certain free trial periods and/or plans with limited functionality. On provision of credit card details, you will be promptly billed the stated subscription amount for your chosen plan and your trial period will terminate. If you do not provide your credit card details within the 30 (thirty) day trial period, your trial will be deactivated once the 30 (thirty) day period has been crossed.

    5.3 If you choose to upgrade your plan, during your chosen subscription period, any incremental cost will be charged to your credit card forthwith. Such change to your plan will also take effect immediately. Subsequently, your credit card will automatically be charged the adjusted subscription rate. Regardless of your billing cycle, there are no refunds or credits for partial months of service, plan downgrades, or refunds for months unused if you close your account before the end of your subscription period. No exceptions will be made in order to treat everyone equally and keep our administrative costs low for the ultimate benefit of our customer base. Downgrading your plan level may cause the loss of content, features, or capacity of your account and we do not accept any liability for such loss. Prices of all our plans and services are subject to change upon 30 (thirty) days notice from us. We reserve the right at our sole discretion, to contact you and offer any special rates or offers. We may also contact you if you maintain an exceptionally high number of vouchers or voucher transactions, an unusually high level of non-redeemed vouchers or other excessive stress on the Facility.

    5.4 We reserve the right to amend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify the then current plans and/or pricing, rates and schemes for use of the Facility, at our sole discretion, at any period with prior notice thereof. In such case you will have the option to opt out of such new plan and you will not be automatically billed and charged as per the said new plan.

    5.5 You as the account owner will receive an email receipt upon each credit card charge. We use Stripe to manage credit card processing.

    5.6 If you fail to pay the subscription fee or any such other charges on time or if the payment information entered is incorrect or does not get processed and/or you do not update payment information on our request, your subscription may be suspended or cancelled.

    5.7 All of the Services are subject to the Fair Use Policy.
    Your use of the Services must be fair, reasonable and not excessive, as reasonably determined by us by reference to average and/or estimated typical customer usage of the Services. If we consider your usage to be excessive and unreasonable where it materially exceeds the average and/or estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by us). If your Total Gross Sales volume (grand total of sale transactions) per month exceeds more then $2000, £2000 or €2000 on average per month over a 3 month period we will switch you to higher use plan. This is typically calculated at appromiately 1-2% of your average monthly gross volume.


  6. Chargebacks

    The Merchant is liable for any chargebacks.
    A chargeback occurs when a customer buying a voucher asks their credit card company to remove a charge from their credit card statement. The credit card company will ask the buyer to provide an explanation about why they are disputing the charge.
    Two common reasons for reversals or chargebacks are: 1: A buyer's credit card number is stolen and used fraudulently. 2: A buyer makes a purchase, but believes that the Merchant failed to fulfill their side of the agreement (e.g. activity or service provided by the Merchant was different then advertised, or unsatisfied with the service provided by the Merchant).
