Introduction and Acceptance of the Terms and Conditions

The general Terms and Conditions detailed below govern the contractual relationship between the ‘User’ (hereafter also referred to as ‘You’ or ‘Your’ or the ‘Customer’) and ‘The Bahamas Protected Areas Fund’ (hereafter also referred to as ‘We’ or ‘Our’, or ‘Us’ or ‘the Website’). Both parties understand and accept these Conditions without reservation. These Terms and Conditions are the only ones that are applicable. By confirming your order, you agree that you have read and accepted our General Terms and Conditions without reservation. These Terms and Conditions are important to you and the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund as they are used to protect your rights as a valued customer and our rights as an organization.

 

Access to the Website

We work hard to ensure that the Website is always up and available, but there may be disruptions, occasionally. We reserve the right to close the Website for short periods of time for general maintenance, but will attempt to keep this to a minimum. We will not be liable for delay of services or use of the website if for any reason all or any part of the Website is unavailable at any length of time during downtime for maintenance.

Parts of the Website require you to input a password in order to access certain features. This is to enable us to give you details relevant to your order, while still keeping your information private to you. To do this, as part of our security procedures, we require you to register an account with the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund by entering your email and choosing a secure password. We highly recommend that you choose a strong password that is hard for others to guess, and that you log out from your account at the end of every session. There is a password reset procedure in case you forget your password. You must treat your account log-in information as confidential, and not disclose it to any third party. This information must only be used by you. If you think there may have been any breach of security with this information, it is your responsibility to notify us immediately, and if log-in is possible, to change your password.

It is a condition of your use of the Website that all the information you provide on the Website is correct, current, and complete. We reserve the right to disable any user account in our sole discretion, at any time for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any provision of these Terms and Conditions.

We do not guarantee that the Website or any content provided on the Website is without error. We manage your personal data according to our Privacy Policy.

 

Product information

The Bahamas Protected Areas Fund takes great care when putting product information, descriptions, and images online but will not be held responsible for any mistakes or omissions to any information given.

 

Prices

The prices indicated on the Website are shown in Bahamas Dollars and do not include delivery costs. The delivery costs are clearly shown and invoiced at the end of the order in addition to the price of the products. We reserve the right to modify our prices at any time, but this will be indicated to you on the order, at the time the order is placed. If an obviously incorrect price appears on our website and it is not corrected on your total at the time of the completion of the order, for whatever reason (human error, technical error etc.), your order will be canceled and the payment refunded to you, even if it has been initially validated.

 

Availability

We will always seek to fulfill your order once it is completed and paid for. If a product should become unavailable after your order has been confirmed and paid for, we will refund the price you paid for the product within 30 days following the date of your payment. If your order includes products that are temporarily unavailable, we will send the available products out first and will follow at a later date with the outstanding items, once they become available again. We will refund the shipping fees for the rest of the order. If relevant, subject to your consent, we will offer you a replacement for an unavailable product. That replacement will be a product of equal price and quality. If you accept the replacement, and then wish to return it to us in the conditions outlined under Right of Return, the return postage will be covered by us. If you choose to decline this offer, and the original product is permanently unavailable, we will reimburse the price of the unavailable product.

 

Secure Payment

The Bahamas Protected Areas Fund currently offers one way to pay for digital products such as donations, fees, services and merchandise. This is through First Atlantic Commerce. This payment option uses advanced SSL encryption to keep your transaction secure and does not cost you anything to use, (the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund is charged as the seller, and you are not charged as the buyer), so you will not pay any extra money for your order. You do not need to hold an account with this Merchant to use this method of payment.

The Bahamas Protected Areas Fund commits, and will make best efforts to respect the delivery times indicated on the website. We cannot, however, be held responsible for the consequences of a late delivery or the loss of a package caused by a third-party contracted to make the delivery or by you, or because of some unforeseen event or an Act of God. In the event where you do not receive your purchase, an investigation will be conducted with the carrier. This investigation may take several days upon receipt of your claim. During this period of investigation, no reimbursement or re-delivery will take place.

 

Right of Reimbursement

The Bahamas Protected Areas Fund allows you 7 days to return a product that you are not satisfied with. Your right of return starts from the moment your order is processed. If the product is returned within 7 days of its delivery, the User will be reimbursed using the same payment method that was used initially.
