- Santakart.com Services for Online Transactions
3.1 The Buyer of an Online Transaction shall pay the full transaction price listed for the Online Transaction through the Santakart.com website unless another option is made available directly by Santakart.com on the website. When using Santakart.com to submit payment for a Santakart.com Online Transaction, payments are processed through accounts owned by Santakart.com, one of its affiliates and/or a registered third-party service provider acting on Santakart.com’s behalf. The Seller agrees that the Buyer’s full payment of the transaction price listed for the Online Transaction to Santakart.com constitutes final payment to the Seller and Buyer’s payment obligation for the Online Transaction is fully satisfied upon receipt of funds by Santakart.com’s account. The payment must be made in US Dollars or in any other currency supported by Santakart.com at any given time.
3.2 Upon receipt of the Buyer’s payment, Santakart.com shall promptly notify the seller of the details of the payment. Santakart.com shall also monitor and keep safe custody of the received funds and shall not release the funds unless an event set forth in clause 3.3 below occurs.
3.3 Santakart.com shall retain the funds received in connection with an Online Transaction unless, as agreed between Seller and Santakart.com, any of the following events occurs:
(a) in case of the successful completion of the Online Transaction upon Buyer’s confirmation and product shipment received by buyer or his/her authorized person successfully, funds will be remitted to Seller within 10 - 15 business days, after deducting Santakart’s fees;
(b) in case of absence of the Buyer‘s confirmation of receipt of the goods within the time limit prescribed by Seller and as agreed by Santakart.com, all the funds will be remitted to Seller as per clause 3.3 above;
(c) in case of cancellation of the Online Transaction, all the funds will be refunded to Buyer;
(d) in case a settlement agreement is reached, the funds will be displaced accordingly;
(e) if Santakart.com or our affiliates receives any order, ruling, award or judgment from a competent court, arbitration tribunal or authority which directs us to release the funds, the funds will be displaced in accordance with such order, ruling, award or judgment.
Santakart.com is not holding any funds on behalf of Buyer, or in any escrow or trust relationship. Seller has requested that the settlement of funds to Seller be delayed as provided in this clause 3.3 above.
3.4 You acknowledge that Santakart.com may also provide buyer protection plan for certain Online Transactions. In case of Seller who has been offered to subscribe the buyer protection plan, upon entering into a separate agreement with Santakart.com, Seller may be required to provide deposits using the methods as designated by Santakart.com to secure Seller’s due performance of obligations under the relevant buyer protection plan. Seller agrees to permit and hereby authorize Santakart.com, which in turn instructs its eventual third-party service providers to deduct, withhold and dispose any deposits provided in accordance with the terms under the relevant buyer protection plan. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the protection awarded under a buyer protection plan applies to those Online Transactions where the Seller subscribed to such plan and the purchase falls within the buyer protection plan’s scope. Services described under clause 3.3 of this Agreement will not be applicable if Seller subscribed to the buyer protection plan and such plan already covers the purchase.
3.5 When releasing any funds, Santakart.com shall have the right to deduct any financial charges or service fees, dues and payable to Santakart.com (if any) in such amount as instructed by Santakart.com pursuant to the agreement between Seller.
3.6 In the event that the Buyer makes payment in a currency that is different from the currency stated in the transaction price of the Online Transaction, any refund made by Santakart.com to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the currency used by the Buyer in the Online Transaction, at the exchange rate utilized by Santakart.com to convert from the currency stated in the transaction price as at the date of refund (or such other applicable date), less any applicable charges or fees set out in Clause 3.5 of this Agreement. Due to currency fluctuations, such amount refunded may be less than the amount paid by the Buyer in the Online Transaction, and Santakart.com shall not be liable to any party for any difference in the amount refunded attributable to currency conversion costs or exchange rate movements.
3.7 Unclaimed funds will be held by Santakart.com for a period of five years, at which time, the Seller will be deemed to have waived any claim in respect of such funds or, if required by applicable escheat laws, we will remit the funds (less any fees, if any and to the extent permitted under applicable laws) to the relevant competent authority. The Seller hereby agrees that upon expiry of such period or upon remittance of such funds to the relevant competent authority in accordance to the applicable escheat laws, Santakart.com will be relieved of any further obligation to pay those unclaimed funds.
