- RESOLVING ISSUES
- We care about your experience and want to ensure we maintain the highest standards possible and so if you would like to make a complaint about one of our Vendors or their Services, please either: speak to the Vendor yourself to try and resolve the issue or email us at info@puckerlimited.com.
- Please keep in mind that while we take all complaints about our Vendors very seriously and will always do what we can to help to resolve them, we are not responsible to you for the service(s) which the Vendors provide and are under no obligation to provide you with a refund or credit note in the event you are dissatisfied with services which you have received from our Vendors.
- PRICE AND PAYMENT
- Unless indicated otherwise, our service requires a platform usage fee and you will pay the Vendor the relevant amount as indicated in your booking (plus – insofar not included in the price – relevant applicable taxes, levies and fees (if applicable)).
- Prices and any applicable and processing charges will be as quoted on the Platform but may be subject to change by Pucker Limited or our Vendors at any time (in which case the Platform will be updated accordingly) and it is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the pricing and other information shown for certain Services is incorrect. If the Service’s correct price at the time of your Booking is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Booking. If your Booking has been accepted and you have been sent a Booking Confirmation before the pricing error was realised, if the pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a pricing error, we will provide you with the option of reconfirming your Booking at the correct price, failing which the Booking will be cancelled. Where a Booking is cancelled we will refund you any sums you have paid.
- The Vendor has full responsibility for accounting for VAT on the total value of the Booking, where applicable. Pucker Limited does not charge you VAT on Bookings as the Services are provided by the Vendor, not by Pucker Limited. As a result, Pucker Limited cannot provide you with a VAT invoice in respect of your Booking. You will need to contact the Vendor direct to obtain a VAT invoice, where applicable.
- Payments made through the Payment Facility are processed by third party payment services providers. Pucker Limited takes reasonable care to ensure that the Payment Facility is available and functioning at all times, but cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to such Payment Facility, nor can we guarantee that the facility is virus or error free. We use third party payment service providers to process payments and because there are many factors beyond our control (such as delays in the banking system or in card networks), we cannot predict or guarantee the amount of time needed to complete the processing of your payment. Access to the Payment Facility may be occasionally restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to provide reasonable notice of any scheduled interruptions to such Payment Facility and will do what we can to restore the facility as soon as reasonably possible.
