5.4. Price, payment and invoicing
5.4.1. The prices for the Services are displayed on the Business’s personal page on the Platform and may vary from time to time upon exclusive decision of the Business.
5.4.2. The Platform contains details of a number of Services and it is possible that, despite Beautster’s best efforts, some of the prices and other information shown by the Business on the Platform for certain Services are incorrect/not updated.
5.4.3. Unless the Customer has opted for "Pay at Venue", the payment for the Services shall be confirmed at the time of the booking by credit or debit card, using the online payment facility ("Payment Facility") provided by the Platform. The Payment Facility will reserve on the credit/debit card account of the Customer the due price, which will be eventually paid at the time of the performance of the Services, when the relevant Business issues the relevant invoice. The Customer shall be responsible for protecting his own confidential data which give him access to the Platform such as user ID and any password or other security information used by the Customer to access his account. Any currency conversion costs or other charges incurred in making a payment will be borne by the Customer.
5.4.4. Beautster takes reasonable care to ensure that its Payment Facility is available and functioning at all times, but cannot guarantee continuous and uninterrupted access to such Payment Facility. Beautster also try to ensure that Customer’s payments are processed promptly, but it is often difficult to predict the amount of time needed to complete processing because it is dependent upon many factors outside of Beautster´s control, such as delays in the banking system or in card networks. Access to the Payment Facility may be occasionally restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. Beautster will attempt to provide reasonable notice of any scheduled interruptions to such Payment Facility and will use its best effort to restore the facility as soon as reasonably possible.
5.4.5. For the bookings it is possible for the Customers to opt for a payment at Business´s premises ("Pay at Venue"). According to this option the Customer can make a booking on the Platform but eventually pay for it directly to the Business at the time of the appointment. Please note that this way of payment is available only if the Business and/or the Customer are eligible. Eligibility mainly depends on the fulfilment of the respective obligations according to these T&C's and to the Business agreement (only for a Business). In any case this option will appear on the Platform at the time of the Booking.Please note that the way of payment does not change the other content of the contractual relationship with the Business also with respect to the cancellation policies.
5.5. Claims
5.5.1. In case a Customer is not satisfied with the Services provided by the Business, he shall directly make his claims to the relevant Business.
5.5.2. In order to improve or keep a high quality Business´s Services, Customers can also leave their review on the relevant page of the Platform. Such review cannot however be offensive, misrepresentative or false.
5.5.3. The Customer may also contact Beautster’s customer support and Beautster will try to find a solution with the Business. However, ultimately, the Business is the only and sole responsible for the performance of the Services.
