for transactions on his account. BIA will process such
requests in a timely manner.
BIA reserves the right to refund any
transactions that we know or believe are fraudulent,
such refunds being on a full recourse basis back to

on any chargeback penalty raised by the Card Issuer
in addition to BIA's prevailing administration charge

or third parties.

CUSTOMER
RESPONSE
The Supplier will provide all pre and post sales support
for the Product. He shall have two business days to
respond to such enquiries. Wherever possible this response
will be conducted through the SMC.
Where failure to respond within this period results
in a customer complaint about a purchase or about the
support thereof, BIA retains the right to issue a credit
to that customer. Notwithstanding, if BIA receives a
complaint, it will be forwarded to the Supplier and
a response must be made within 1 business day. BIA reserves
the right to terminate a Supplier Agreement where the
supplier fails to provide customer response within the
stated period.

of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. |
| 21 |
WAIVER OF CONTRACTUAL

APPLICABLE LAW
If at any time during the term of this Agreement BIA discovers
that the Product being marketed and/or sold through the

accounts owed to BIA by the Supplier shall become due
and payable immediately. Any disputes shall be resolved

APPENDIX
1) We calculate payments from the first to the last day of the
month. So a February order is paid on the last working
day of March or the beginning of April.
2) Thus there is a vested interest in the Supplier assisting
BIA in completing refunds to pre-empt chargebacks.
