Said amount will be forwarded within agreed upon payment period to account indicated by merchant upon enrolment, after deduction of margin.

To avoid losses in case customers unability to pay, optional agreements for payment defaults are available. If such provisions were not selected and have such become part of this agreement, risk of non-payment remains entirely with the merchant.

With the creation of a GO4Q order code, you commit yourself as a merchant to have the referenced product available in quantity as indicated in your GO4Q account. You commit yourself as well to ship the ordered product within 24 hours to the customer.
