You understand that certain non-refundable service fees will apply to certain transactions. You agree that you will submit your credit card for online payment only when a sufficient balance is or will be available at the time you authorize us to charge your account.

Valtir may not notify you in time prior to your account being overdue in the event that we were unable to successfully charge your credit card submitted by online payment, and Valtir will not be liable for your losses or damages.
