Distance Selling Act directive and how it may affects your rights.

As of 31st October 2000 the European Union Distance Selling Directive became part of UK law, under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

This directive applies to all transactions where the consumer does not actually meet the vendor. In simple terms it gives you, the consumer, the right to cancel any agreement within 7 days and get a full refund.
The only exception is 'customised' goods. We believe that our services are classified as a 'customised' product because they are used once payment has been made to obtain traffic on your behave and as such cannot be normally be cancelled under the directive. Contracts concluded between businesses are not normally governed by these regulations.

Up to the point of DOT Solutions purchasing traffic carrying out work or submitting your web site we will arrange the refund of charges. 
Please note there may be an additional small charge for exchange of funds from one currency to another made by your bank. Also note there may be an additional small charge for transfer of funds made by your bank.
