Online services - terms and conditions
These terms and conditions (‘online terms’) apply to all purchases of goods and services from, and all registrations, requests or applications to Mid Ulster District Council, made by you on this website.
Terms
By requesting services, registering applications and purchasing any products or services from Mid Ulster District Council, you agree to be bound by the website terms and these online terms.
Making payment for goods or services using a credit or debit card, your order will be processed by Sage pay or World pay. No credit card data is held by Mid Ulster District Council.
Mid Ulster District Council will treat all your personal details confidentially in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, and only use them for processing your request.
You should be aware that if Mid Ulster District Council is requested to release your details by any regulatory or government authority investigating suspected illegal activities, we are entitled to do so.
Payment
Payment will normally take a minimum of two working days to reach the account to which you are making a payment (this includes time for payment to be notified to Mid Ulster District Council).
Mid Ulster District Council does not accept liability for payment not reaching the intended account due to a customer quoting an incorrect account number.

The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time you placed your order, and this price will remain valid until the goods and services are supplied or until the order has been cancelled.

- If the products which Mid Ulster District Council delivers to you are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective in any way, we will either (at your request) refund you the amount paid for the products (including any postage and packing charge) or replace the products you received with products which conform to the ones you ordered.
- You will need to return the original item before a refund can be issued or a replacement sent to you. We will also refund the cost of return postage (by cheque), provided you supply a receipt.
- If you cancel your order for a product, and you are already in receipt of the goods, you are responsible for arranging and paying for the return of the products to Mid Ulster District Council. We will refund the money you paid for the products (excluding any postage and packing charge) within 30 days of notice from you that you have cancelled your order.
