• Your payment will normally reach IGLCS account, to which you are making a payment, within two working days.
• We cannot accept the liability for a payment not reaching to IGLCS account due to an incorrect account number or incorrect personal details. Neither can we accept the liability, if payment is refused or declined by the credit/debit card supplier for any reason.

Refund Policy/Cancellation Policy
• If the customers leave the IGLCS website before they complete their transaction, there shall be no entitlement to the refund of charges.
• Refunds, if applicable, at the discretion of the IGLCS and based on the regulations of the Goethe-Institut, will only be made to the debit/credit card used for the original transaction.

Security
All payment details, which are entered through this payment gateway, are encrypted. Communications to and from the service provider's website are encrypted.
However, IGLCS shall not be liable for any failure by the customer or third party making payment of charges to properly protect data from being seen on their screen by other persons or otherwise obtained by such persons, during the online payment process or in respect of any omission to provide accurate information in the course of the online payment process.
Service provider
Online payments of charges can be made by Credit/Debit card or Netbanking. These payments are not collected by IGLCS directly, but by the service provider.
Once the payment is received by the service provider in cleared funds, the service provider will contact IGLCS to confirm the details of the successful payment made by the customer, or third party making the payment. On receipt of this confirmation, IGLCS will confirm to the customer that the payment has been received and accepted by the IGLCS. In the event that the customer does not receive confirmation within 14 days of making the payment, it is the responsibility of the customer to check with the IGLCS that the payment has been accepted. The customer shall remain responsible for the charges until such time as the confirmation as referred to above is received from the IGLCS in relation to each of these and any outstanding amounts due to the IGLCS.
