3. Booking System
a) Whilst we have made every effort to reduce the chance of double booking or errors involving the booking of holidays using the RomanCart booking system, as with all computer systems there is always the chance of errors. With this in mind we cannot be held responsible for any problems which occur as a result of the RomanCart booking system. You should also use the data from your payment gateway and any other sources to reconcile the data presented by the RomanCart booking system.
b) Note that if the payment gateway you are using does not notify RomanCart correctly whether as a result of a failure with the payment gateway or a failure on the RomanCart systems the customer may not be sent a 'Booking Confirmation' email even though their payment may have been successful. In this instance the holiday will not be booked even though the customer may have paid you the money. You should make regular checks on your Payment Gateway system and your bank account to make sure that all payments are accounted for. There is a message on the checkout page of the Booking system informing customers that the holiday is not booked unless they receive an email with the subject of 'Booking Confirmation'. We would advise that you require presentation of said email as proof of the holiday booking particularly in the event of a dispute.
