For example, if the amount paid by the customer is $100.00, the refund amount will be 90% of $100 i.e. $90.00.
COLLATE reserves its absolute discretion to reject any refunds to you and where such refunds are payable such refunds may be credited to the credit/debit and/or payment card used for the transaction, or to your COLLATE e-Wallet or by such other method as is deems fit by COLLATE.
Section C – Refund Policy
4. Aircon Orders
The refund amount will be 90% of the amount paid for the cancelled items for One-Time off services.
For example, if you have booked a one-time repair service and the payment amount is $100, the refund amount will be 90% of $100 i.e. $90.00.
For cancellation of annual aircon-servicing contracts, the refund amount will be based on the following formula.
Refund Amount = [Annual Servicing Package Fee – (Number of Servicing completed X Standard One-Time Servicing Fee for the selected Aircon Merchant)] x 90%
For avoidance of doubt, if the Refund amount is less than $0, no refund shall be made and no further payment is required from the customer.
Example: An annual servicing package for 4 times of servicing is $300.00. The One-Time servicing fee is $100.00 for the same merchant. Customer has used the servicing 2 times and needs to cancel it. The refund amount will be [$300.00 – (2 x $100.00)] x 90% = $90.00.
COLLATE reserves its absolute discretion to any refunds to you and such refunds may be credited to the payment card you used for the transaction, or to your COLLATE e-Wallet or by such other method as is deemed reasonable by COLLATE.
COLLATE further reserves the right to review, amend and change the REFUND POLICY as it deems fit at any time without any notice to the customers.
