We reserve the right to add, remove, or temporarily suspend payment methods at any time.

4. Payment timing

4.1 Retail and online orders

For standard online orders, payment is due in full at the time of ordering. Your order will not be processed or dispatched until payment has been successfully authorised and received.

4.2 Trade and B2B accounts

Where we have agreed credit terms in writing (for example, for trade or B2B customers), the payment due date will be stated on the invoice (e.g. 7, 14, or 30 days from invoice date). Any such terms are granted at our sole discretion and may be withdrawn or amended at any time.

5. Invoices and documentation

Once your order has been accepted, we will issue an electronic invoice or order confirmation to the email address provided at checkout. For trade customers, invoices may also be provided via agreed channels (e.g. email, portal, or EDI).

It is your responsibility to ensure that your billing details (company name, address, VAT number, purchase order references, etc.) are accurate and up to date at the time of ordering.

6. Late payment and overdue accounts

Where credit terms have been agreed and payment is not received by the due date, we may, at our discretion:

7. Taxes, duties and import charges

For orders delivered within the UK, VAT will be applied where required by law. For orders delivered outside the UK, additional local taxes, duties, or import charges may be payable by you directly to customs or local authorities. These charges are not included in our prices and are your responsibility.

8. Billing information accuracy

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing information for all purchases made on our website. If any information changes (such as billing address, VAT number, or contact details), you agree to update it promptly before placing new orders.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order where billing information cannot be verified or where we suspect unauthorised or fraudulent activity.

9. Security and payment processing

Online payments are processed via secure third-party payment processors using industry-standard encryption. We do not store full card details on our own servers. However, we may store limited tokenised information (provided by the payment processor) to facilitate refunds or recurring billing where you have agreed to this.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your own devices and access credentials.

10. Refunds, credits and adjustments

Any refunds, credits, or billing adjustments will be processed in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy and applicable consumer law. Where a refund is approved, it will normally be issued using the same payment method used for the original transaction, unless otherwise agreed.

Processing times for refunds may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

11. Chargebacks and disputes

If you believe there is an error or unauthorised transaction on your account, you should contact us immediately at sales@dobaln.co.uk so we can investigate.

Initiating a chargeback without first contacting us may delay resolution. Where a chargeback is raised and we can demonstrate that the transaction was valid and authorised, we reserve the right to recover any fees or costs incurred as a result.

12. Changes to these billing terms

We may update these Billing Terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. The version in force at the time you place your order will apply to that order.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Billing Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply in your country of residence.
