Privacy of Information
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you acknowledge that the NK9U will receive certain personal information when you pay with your credit card, debit card, or by way of an Automated Clearing House (A.C.H.) transaction, and that you are voluntarily providing this information to us. The NK9U can rent, sell or otherwise make available to any third party any information that identifies you, but not payments you make through the Web site, other than to process the transaction requested by you or comply with applicable law, rule or regulation.
Security
To process your payment securely, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) , a security protocol that provides data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity for connections to the Internet, to ensure that account numbers and personal data you provide by using this NK9U Web Site are not transmitted over the Internet unencrypted and cannot be viewed by unauthorized individuals. Although we work hard to keep this NK9U Web Site secure, transferring information over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we therefore make no such guarantee.
Credit/Debit Card Payment
The Credit Card and Debit Card payment service is an Internet-based service that allows you to make payments to the NK9U via the World Wide Web. In activating this service you authorize the NK9U or its authorized agent(s) to debit or charge your account, which allows your payment to be forwarded to us, based on the payment instructions you provide on the Web site, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
In Case of Errors or Questions about the Web site.
You agree to Email us at [email protected] as soon as possible, but no longer than twenty four hours (24 hours) after you knew or should have known about any error by you, if you believe an error has been made, or there has been any unauthorized use of your Account. Of course, this is not intended to prevent you from contacting us after twenty four hours, but taking longer than twenty four hours may prevent us from being able to take corrective action in some cases. Indeed, even if contacted within 24 hours, we cannot and do not guarantee that adequate corrective action can always be made. Regardless of whether you knew or should have known about an error or unauthorized charge, you must email us at the address indicated above within 30 days from the date of the error or unauthorized charge. When you e-mail us, please provide your name and receipt number.
Limits on Use
You must be 18 years of age or older to authorize a payment for the use of our Web site. Payment must be made in U.S. dollars. You agree not to make a payment on our Web site that exceeds the funds or available credit line in your Account. If you do, we have no obligation to complete the transaction and you agree that we may debit your Account for our returned item fee or other similar fee. Other limitations may apply and can be found on the Web site. Your use of your Account may be limited by your agreement with your Financial Institution and by applicable law. We are not responsible for not completing a transaction as a result of any such limit on your Account, and we are not responsible if your Financial Institution fails to honor any debit against your Account. At our sole discretion, we may refuse to complete any transaction, which we have reason to believe is not made by you, may violate any law, rule or regulation, or if we have reasonable cause not to honor it..
