requested by an organisation as long as the individual requesting the service has authority to
bind the company on whose behalf the service has been requested.
These terms must be
viewed in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
The Terms are subject to change without
prior notice, except that the Terms in force at the time you place or modify an order will
govern the order in question. For the avoidance of doubt, mere viewing of (in contrast to
ordering services from) the Website is subject to the Terms Of Website Use and not these Terms.
The primary services provided by Global Visa Agent are to help you in obtaining visas and
other travel documentation. We describe documents and forms you generally need to provide to
achieve these aims and then submit these documents and forms duly completed by you, to the
authorities or appropriate bodies. For the avoidance of doubt, if we provide services to you,
you are our customer and these Terms apply. If we refer you to any other service provider, you
take responsibility for reviewing any services provided and that service provider’s terms and
conditions will apply for their services. We do not accept any liability for third party
services and these Terms will not apply to those services.
Our order process allows you
to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. After you place an order, you
will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. If your order
appears to be correct, we will notify you that we have accepted your order and begun work on it.
This acceptance email is titled "Your Application was Successfully Submitted to the Embassy".
The contract between us will only be formed when we send you this acceptance email.
These
Terms apply to any offer and any agreement between you and Global Visa Agent and to the
provision of any service provided to you by or on behalf of Global Visa Agent in respect of but
not limited to the processing of visas, passports and/or documents for you or on your behalf.
Some Terms may refer to an issuing authority, which is the body being an embassy, consulate or
other agency that issue or supply the documents requested by you.
3. Fees and Payments
Payment can be made by any of the options
advertised on our website. Payment shall be due when your order is placed.
You agree to
pay all fees and charges for any products or services offered for sale by Global Visa Agent or
by any other vendor or service provider through Global Visa Agent. You shall pay all applicable
taxes and shipping charges relating to the purchase of any other products or services.
If
payment fails or you have not paid, your application will show on our system as incomplete. Your
visa specialist will notify if payment is outstanding. Your application will not be submitted
until full payment is received.
Requirements and fees related to the processing of
passports and visas are subject to change, including, but not limited to, embassy consular fees,
application forms and documentation required for visa issuance, which are subject to change
without notice.
Payment online: By paying online you agree that your credit card(s) will
be billed immediately after online verification takes place. Our secure server software encrypts
all your payment card details. The process scrambles all the information, allowing no
unauthorised third party to intercept the data. Your browser will confirm that you are shopping
in a secure environment by showing either a locked padlock icon or an image of a padlock next to
the payment details in the relevant area of the Website.
To ensure that your credit, debit
or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other
personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party
databases.
By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made.
All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the
GDPR.
During security checks we may ask for additional information or documentation to
help support the data you supplied.
4. Placing an Order
To begin using our services, you must register as a
new user or login to your account on http://www.globalvisaagent.co.uk/ . Global Visa Agent will
endeavour to provide you with accurate information and to ensure that you obtain the visa for
your trip for the date required in a timely manner. That notwithstanding, you should remember
that all requirements to obtain the visa (documentation, fees, time frames, etc.) are calculated
based on general criteria and can vary according to information provided by you such as current
or previous nationality, residence, gender, age, profession, recent travel, religion etc.
Global Visa Agent does its best to correctly describe all services that appear on its
website. However, Global Visa Agent does not warrant that all the statements, definitions, and
descriptions are most current, complete, accurate, and error free. Embassies/Consulates often
change their requirements and fees without prior warning and changes can take effect
immediately. In an event, shall any description of service or any information on our site become
outdated or inaccurate, you agree to hold Global Visa Agent harmless.
Requirements and
fees related to the processing of passports and visas are subject to change without notice.
Application forms and additional documents required for visa issuance are subject to change
without notice. Consular and U.S. Passport Agency officials may request additional documentation
at their discretion. They may also decline issuance of travel documents, visa, or passport
without disclosing the reason for denial. Processing time for visas and passports quoted by
Global Visa Agent are approximations based on normal circumstances, and are deemed reliable in
most cases but are not guaranteed. Global Visa Agent will not be held responsible for any
delays, cancellations, financial and other losses due to denial or delay in processing. Global
Visa Agent reserves the right to decline processing of documents for any reason, including but
not limited to incomplete documentation, insufficient processing time, or unusual circumstances.
By placing an order you accept these Terms. Once you place an order, you will be assigned
a visa specialist and the application submission process begins. At this point your specialist
will confirm that a money order covering the entire order is included or that a credit card
authorisation form confirms a card has been successfully charged.
The date by which you
need your passport is essential and therefore we will confirm that it is possible to process and
obtain a visa within the anticipated timeframe and therefore meet your expectations. If there is
enough time to process the required visa and all required documents received, the application
will be reviewed for mistakes, corrections requested made and payments made your application
will be submitted.
5. Processing time
Payment can be made by any of the options advertised
on our website. Payment shall be due when your order is placed.
Processing time for visas
and passports quoted by Global Visa Agent are approximate and based on processing times provided
by Embassies, Consulates High Commissions and the Department of State (issuing authority) under
normal circumstances. Processing time should be calculated starting the next business
day of the date when the documents are submitted to the Visa Centre. For "Same Day" and
"Next Day" processing options please clarify on order form. For other processing options
processing time should be calculated starting the day after submission of the documents to
the issuing authority.
The issuing authority may request further
explanations. The issuance of the visa is at the sole discretion of the issuing authority, and
theirs is the final decision in admitting entry into the country, even when all the prescribed
requirements have been met by the applicant. Global Visa Agent cannot and does not guarantee
that the issuing authority will issue the visa in a timely manner and within the specified time
frame.
Global Visa Agent will not be held responsible for any delays, cancellations,
financial and other losses due to denial or delay in processing. No service fees, embassy fees,
courier fees, shipping charges or any portion thereof will be refunded due to delays or denial
of service.
6. Visa Delivery
When Global Visa Agent returns your passport and
supporting original documents, it is important that you confirm that the visa(s) you requested
has been issued, that the visa for the intended country you are visiting is valid for the dates
of arrival and departure from the country you are visiting, and that the purpose and nature of
visit are as intended. In the event you detect any mistake or discrepancy you must contact
Global Visa Agent immediately.
7. Shipping
Global Visa Agent uses Royal Mail for all its shipping needs
unless instructed otherwise. Global Visa Agent uses standard envelopes and other standard
packing materials provided by Royal Mail or another shipping company as instructed by a client.
Sometimes documents get damaged or lost during shipping. Global Visa Agent is not responsible
for any damage or loss that occurs while the product is in client's possession or in transit.
Global Visa Agent strongly encourages its clients to use shipping services that provide real
time tracking of packages in transit. Global Visa Agent is not responsible for any failures or
mistakes by shipping companies to deliver, deliver on time, track, locate, and keep safe, any
and all packages. Global Visa Agent cannot and does not warrant any claims or guarantees made by
shipping companies as to the quality of service, timely delivery, availability of service, and
other claims.
8. Cancellation Rights and Refund Policy
In the UK, if you are a
Consumer, you may have a legal right to generally cancel an order or contract under the Consumer
Contracts Regulations during the cooling-off period of 14 working days. This means that during
the relevant period if a Consumer changes his/her mind or for any other reason they decide they
do not want to proceed with an order, he/she can notify the supplier of that decision to cancel
the order and receive a refund. A consumer can use any written notification of cancellation to
Global Visa Agent.
However, because of the urgent nature of the orders placed with Global
Visa Agent, and to leave a margin of safety to avoid potentially major consequences in the event
of delays, Global Visa Agent starts to render the services on approval of payment and/or receipt
of the full documentation, which may be before the expiry of the statutory cooling off period.
The Consumer expressly authorises and accepts this. Therefore, the Consumer may not receive the
benefit of the full cooling off period for orders placed with Global Visa Agent and may be
liable for part or all of the fees for services provided by Global Visa Agent prior to receiving
the Consumer’s cancellation notice. Moreover, visas are items prepared to the Consumer's own
specifications and as such the cooling off period and right of cancellation may not apply.
If your passport and other supporting documents were received by Global Visa Agent and
have already been submitted by Global Visa Agent for processing at the time of cancelation you
will not receive any refund; however, if the submission has not been made at the time of
cancelation you will receive a partial refund equal to the difference of any fees paid, return
shipping charges, and a £15 processing charge. No refunds will be giving for electronic visas
(e-visas) to Antigua Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brazil,
Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Hong Kong, India, Ivory
Coast, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lesotho, Malaysia, Moldova, Myanmar, Nigeria, Oman, Puerto Rico,
Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uganda,
Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United States, US Virgin Islands, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. If you
have not shipped your passport and other supporting documents and wish to cancel, you will
receive a partial refund if regarding entry into Albania, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, Central African Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Iceland,
India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mauritania, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Oman, Russia,
Saint Kitts Nevis, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan and Vietnam
(refund is equal to the difference of any fees paid and a £15 processing charge) and a full
refund if regarding entry to any other country.
You may cancel by using Cancel/Delete
function in your account when logged in or by calling our service line. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Global Visa Agent cannot process refunds for Credit Card payments over 3 months old
under any circumstances. In such cases Global Visa Agent may issue a store credit applicable to
future applications submitted through Global Visa Agent. Credit cannot be applied to
applications submitted through other agencies or applications submitted to Consulates directly.
