5 – ORDER

1. Placing an order

To place an order, the Buyer must select the Service, date and any options of their choice, then validate the booking.

The Buyer can access the booking summary at any time until the order is finally validated and can correct any input errors.

The order is deemed received by VOICE MEMORIES once finally validated by the Buyer.

At the end of their order and after validation by VOICE MEMORIES, the Buyer receives an email confirmation that:

contains a payment link.

The Buyer must ensure that contact details entered when placing their order are correct and allow receipt of order confirmation email. Failing receipt, the Buyer must contact VOICE MEMORIES at the details in article 2.

The applicable price is the one displayed on the Website at the time the Buyer's order is registered.

2. Payment terms

The full price of Services is payable upon validation of the order by VOICE MEMORIES.

Access to payment is made, after booking and validation, by sending an email to the Buyer containing a link to complete the transaction.

Payment can be made online by bank card through the secure online payment service link provided.

The Buyer guarantees to VOICE MEMORIES that they have the necessary authorisations to use the chosen payment method.

VOICE MEMORIES reserves the right to suspend or cancel any order and/or delivery in case of non-payment of any due amount, payment incident, or fraud/fraud attempt related to Website use.

The Buyer wishing to benefit from the Services must provide a 250 EUR incl. tax security deposit via bank pre-authorisation. This deposit is not debited but temporarily blocked on the Buyer's card.

This pre-authorisation is placed on the bank card used to pay for the order. By paying for the order, the Buyer authorises VOICE MEMORIES to have this card saved by its secure payment provider (Stripe), for the sole purpose of providing this deposit; VOICE MEMORIES never has access to the card number.
