  • CREDIT CARDS AND CHARGEBACKS
      1. In the event that a Consumer makes a credit card chargeback request in relation to a Booking which was paid by the same credit card (a “Chargeback Request”), Unique shall notify the Exhibitor which shall investigate the reasons for such Chargeback Request within fourteen (14) days. If the Exhibitor either (i) determines that the Chargeback Request is valid and due to the Exhibitor not fulfilling its obligations in relation to a Booking, or (ii) does not complete its investigation within the 14 day period, the Exhibitor shall approve the Chargeback Request within three (3) days of such determination or expiry of the 14 day period as applicable, and Unique shall return the payment related to the Chargeback Request to the Consumer (the “Chargeback Payment”). If the Chargeback Payment forms part of Revenue that has already been paid to the Exhibitor, Unique shall invoice the Exhibitor for such Chargeback Payment (less any Commission that has been deducted by Unique in relation to the Revenue of which the Chargeback Payment forms part), provided that the original card transaction was made in a secure manner on Book the Cinema, and shall record the Chargeback Payment in the Booking Records. If the Chargeback Payment forms part of Revenue that has not yet been passed to the Exhibitor, Unique shall record such Chargeback Payment on the Booking Records and deduct the Chargeback Payment from the corresponding Revenue to be paid at the next payment date.
      2. The Exhibitor shall not be liable for the whole of the Chargeback Payment if the reason for the Chargeback Request cannot be solely attributed to the Exhibitor. In the event that both Unique and the Exhibitor are deemed to be responsible for the Chargeback Request then each party shall be responsible for paying the proportionate amount of the Chargeback Payment. In the event the parties cannot agree who is responsible for the Chargeback Request the parties shall escalate the matter in the manner set out in clause 14 (Dispute Resolution).
      3. If Unique and the Exhibitor agree that a Chargeback Request has not been validly made and should be defended, Unique shall defend the Chargeback Request through its credit card integration service provider. If reasonably required, the Exhibitor shall provide Unique with the results of its investigation.
      4. In the event that the credit card company rejects a payment that has already been processed and debits the payment automatically (the “Credit Card Company Chargeback”) and where (i) Unique has already remitted the Revenue of which the payment forms part to the Exhibitor, Unique shall notify the Exhibitor of such Credit Card Company Chargeback and the Exhibitor shall refund the Credit Card Company Chargeback to Unique without undue delay, or (ii) the Exhibitor has not received the Revenue of which the payment forms part, Unique shall not be required to include such payment in the Revenue paid to the Exhibitor, although Unique shall still include such payment in the Booking Records but note that it was subject to a Credit Card Company Chargeback.
      5. The Bookings and Revenue information shall be available to both parties through Book the Cinema. Unique shall arrange so that the Exhibitor can see the Revenue generated at each of its Cinemas on a monthly basis and shall ensure that all Revenue is held in a designated account.
      6. Any credit card fees shall be split by the parties based on the percentage of the Booking Revenue on the date of the Booking (“CC Fees”).
      7. Unique shall ensure that all credit and debit card payments are processed securely utilising the standard security tools made available from the credit card integration service provider.

If the Exhibitor disputes only part of the Booking Records or part of the Commission Invoice, Unique shall transfer to the Exhibitor such part of the Revenue which is not in dispute within seven (7) days of the Exhibitor’s notice as per Clause 7.1. 
    5. The Exhibitor shall pay to Unique the Commission plus VAT relating to a Revenue Period within seven (7) days of receipt of the Revenue from Unique, in accordance with the instructions on the Commission Invoice.
