For Cash On Delivery, if you choose to pay by a credit/debit card at the time of delivery, Kartmates will make its best efforts to receive the order amount through a card swipe machine. However, in the event the machine doesn’t work, you are required to make the payment by cash. You agree to not delay payment or seek further time to make the payment once the order is delivered.

Any compensation paid by Kartmates will be a separate transaction done through digital payment transfer. You cannot deduct any agreed compensation amount from the order amount.
You agree to pay the entire order amount (net of any returned items) in full at or before the time of delivery. Exceptions cannot be made in any circumstances.
