5. Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser.
K. Payment - Credit Card - Age - Fraud
1. For payment with AUTONEST, you authorise us to collect and process (including the collection and processing through a third party) your information required by processing service providers or the financial institution that issues your Payment Instrument such as a credit or debit card in order to verify your identity. Personal information collected about you and that may be shared to such third parties (including to handle your transaction and/or maintain your account) is set out in our Privacy Policy.
2. To complete payment for such payment, you authorise AUTONEST (or a company acting on our behalf) to charge or debit your Payment Instrument for the full price. When making payment, please ensure that your Payment Instrument is valid and has sufficient credit on the payment date. We will process refunds, if and when applicable, within a reasonable timeframe. You also authorise the crediting to your Payment Instrument in case of reversals, refunds, or adjustments through the service which facilitates the processing of payment transactions. Please note that your bank may impose additional fees on the transaction, over which AUTONEST has no control.
3. Certain Payment Instrument companies charge their member banks a fee for processing "foreign transactions". If you make card transactions and the recipient uses a bank located in a different country other than the bank which issued your card, an international service assessment, cross-border transaction fee or similar fee may be charged. Your issuing bank may or may not pass this fee on to you (the card user). Please contact your issuing bank for details as this is outside the control of AUTONEST.
4. All payment for product and/or service is final.
5. We will assess refund on their merits. There is generally no obligation to provide a refund in the situation like the following:
a. you have changed your mind; or
b. you bought by mistake.
6. In the event of Payment Instrument fraud or unauthorised use of your Payment Instrument by third parties, you should contact your bank or card issuer immediately upon becoming aware of such unauthorized use. If you suspect an unauthorized or fraudulent payment was made via AUTONEST, please contact our Customer Service team immediately.
7. In order to make a booking you must be over 18 years old (or such other age at which majority is reached in your country or territory) and have the full legal capacity to make the transaction (or have the authorisation to do so from your legal guardian). You undertake that the credit or debit card you are using is your own or that you are authorised to complete the booking with this card and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the transaction. You accept financial responsibility for all transactions made under your name or account.
8. You undertake that the details you provide us with in making a booking are fully correct. AUTONEST reserves the right not to accept certain Payment Instruments. AUTONEST may add or remove other payment methods at its discretion. For increased convenience, AUTONEST now also offers the option to have your Payment Instrument details securely stored on file. For more details, have a look at our Privacy Policy.
9. We have stringent fraud detection and prevention mechanisms in place. In certain cases, we may require additional information or verifications to validate and confirm the payment. A small verification charge or pre-authorisation may also be made to your card. Additional information submitted will be treated in line with strict industry standards to protect privacy, using encryption for transmission and specialized agents for verification. If you choose not to submit the additional information or if we are not satisfied with the information received, the payment will not be completed and fully cancelled and any amounts charged (including the verification charge where applicable) will be refunded
10. A word about failed payments
For a variety of reasons, payment on the Site may fail. In such cases, AUTONEST will offer you alternatives to ensure your reservation can go ahead. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service department
