12. Payment
You may choose to pay for the Services by either of the following methods :
Mobile payment: KAZILINKS will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Service Provider as a limited payment collection agent. Mobile payment for jobs shall be made to Us at the time the job starts through an e-wallet, i.e., MPESA or other third party powered by one or more payment processors ("Payment Processors"). When You choose to make an online payment, We shall collect the payments on behalf of the Service Provider who will be responsible for providing the labor services. You acknowledge that collecting the payments on behalf of the Service Provider in no way implies that the labor services are being provided to you by us.
This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided.
The processing of payments or credits, as applicable, in connection with your use of the MPESA or third-party payment processors will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor that We engage for the Purpose. We will not be responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor. In connection with Your use of the Services, We will obtain certain transaction details, which We will use solely in accordance with its privacy policy.
We will generate an invoice on behalf of the artisan/provider servicing your job request, which will be sent across to Your Original ID after completing the JOB. The Invoice shall be indicative of all applicable charges, including but not limited to the surcharge, toll charges, right time charge, wait time charge, service tax. Any payment made is non-refundable.
As between you and KAZILINKS, KAZILINKS reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in KAZILINKS's sole discretion. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand.

13. Waiting policy
The SERVICE PROVIDER shall wait only for 20 (Twenty) minutes for the Customer at the site location. If the Customer does not give access to start the job in twenty minutes of arrival, then the SERVICE PROVIDER/KAZILINKS may cancel the booking and leave the site/premises.
14. Cancellation policy
You may suspend or defer the job booking as early as possible without any charges. This applies where the site survey by a technical expert indicates the need for suspending the job, but not associated with lack of approvals and legal technicalities; instead, the need for the purchase of parts or equipment or other site preparations before the commencement of the job is inevitable and is so confirmed and documented by the artisan/provider.
