Acceptance of your order
Please note that completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your offer to purchase products or services from us. Our acceptance of your order will take place only when the product(s) is dispatched or commencement of the services that you ordered from us. Prior to despatch of the product(s), Queenstown Media has the right to decline an order for any reason, including legal and regulatory reasons.
We will notify you by email as soon as possible to acknowledge that we have received and are processing your order. The duration of our contract with you will start from when you order and we take payment and dispatch the products, until the last day of your right to cancel.
If we cannot supply you with the product or service you ordered, we will not process your order and inform you of this in writing via email and, if you have already paid for the product or service, we will refund you in full as soon as reasonably possible.

Payment
Payment is taken by Queenstown Media LTD.
Accepted Payment Methods
You may pay by debit card, credit card or another alternative payment method specified as part of the checkout process. Queenstown Media LTD may change the payment methods at any time but this will not affect any existing order. The availability of a certain payment method may depend on your geographical location.
Payment
If you place an order on our Website, then you acknowledge and agree that: (i) Queenstown Media LTD will charge you through the payment method you have selected for your order and such other amounts that may accrue in connection with the order; (ii) that you will provide valid and current information for (a) yourself and (b) if applicable, another person, but only if you have first obtained their express consent to do so; (iii) that Queenstown Media LTD may use tools, software or services of payment processors to process transactions on their behalf; and (iv) if your payment is not received by Queenstown Media LTD for any reason from your card issuer, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon request and using the method that Queenstown Media LTD reasonably prescribes.

You acknowledge that, in the case of a return of products under the Terms below, if Queenstown Media LTD are able to obtain on your behalf reimbursement of taxes paid on orders, any such reimbursement will be paid by the applicable tax authority to the customs broker, and then Queenstown Media LTD will reimburse such amounts directly to you if and to the extent, and only after, we receive such amounts from the customs broker.
