Fees:
You must pay to us the fees in respect of our website services in advance, in cleared funds, in accordance with any instructions on our website. We may vary fees from time to time by posting new fees on our website, but this will not affect fees for services that have been previously paid.
If you dispute any payment made to us, you must contact us immediately and provide full details of your claim. If you make an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of our written request:
- an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;

- an administration fee of GBP 25.00 including VAT; and
