PAYMENT AND PAYMENT SERVICES
The Customer accepts responsibility for paying for any Jobs which are made through the Member Services using his or her account details. By using and/or becoming a registered user of the Member Services, the Customer confirms that he or she has authority to use the payment method or billing account details provided for the purpose of settling any payments due for any purchase made through the Member Services, or that the Customer owes to us.
In order to use the Member Services, a Customer must provide valid information for a valid credit or debit card. Customers may update, add or delete card details at any time by amending the details on their Account.
The debit or credit card details of which have been provided will be charged for the full amount once USPAAH receives confirmation from a Professional (Sparista) that a Job has been completed.
Where this is permitted by applicable law and subject to our privacy policy, you acknowledge and agree that we may use certain third-party vendors and service providers to process payments.
When a Customer Requests a Job we may pre-authorise payment for the value of the Job on the payment card added to the app. This pre-authorisation will be released if the Job is cancelled or at the time of final payment, subject to our cancellation policy charges. We reserve the right to take the pre-authorisation amount in the event the payment for a job is not fully collected and you accept our right to do this.
When a Job is completed USPAAH calculates the final amount to be paid, including applicable discounts. The Customer may release payment or USPAAH may take payment. The Customer agrees to hold sufficient funds in their account to pay the final amount as it becomes due and will not request a Job unless they can pay for it. We may, at our sole discretion, not allow a Customer to request a Job if we are outstanding the payment for a prior Job.
When you are paying for a service by credit or debit card, we will share your payment-related information (such as credit or debit card number, purchase amount, date of purchase, name, email, billing address, phone number, IP, location and other device details and in some cases, your transaction history to authenticate you) with entities we have engaged to process payments and provide similar financial services (for example fraud prevention).
USPAAH does not accept cash payments. All Jobs are requested using a valid payment card and final payment is taken from the card once the Job is completed. USPAAH reserves the right not to accept certain payment cards including, but not limited to, pre-payment cards.
USPAAH Providers are paid direct into a nominated bank account.
USPAAH may use Payment Services at our complete discretion to facilitate payment card processing.
USPAAH will ensure that the Payment Services comply with such financial and other relevant regulations but will not be responsible for the performance of the Payment Services.
USPAAH does not directly hold payment card information.

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.
