8.3 If a Customer attempts to redeem a Supplier Voucher for an Related Product, you must promptly advise the Customer whether you accept the redemption (which you must only reject if the relevant Related Product is unavailable) or reject the redemption. You agree that we may refund the Customer the full amount of the Voucher Sale Price to the Customer if you reject their redemption, and we will be under no obligation to pay the Voucher Value to you for that Supplier Voucher.

8.4 You must not request any payment from the Customer in addition to the Voucher Sale Price (at any time) or through any means without our written prior consent.

8.5 The Voucher Value for the supply of a Supplier Voucher is payable to you only when the Supplier Voucher is redeemed for the Related Product, and you have completed the supply of the Related Product to the Customer (Redeemed Voucher).

If a Supplier Voucher is an Unredeemed Voucher as at the Voucher End Date (including any extensions of that date by you), you acknowledge and agree that the value of the Voucher Sale Price shall be credited or refunded to the Customer or retained by us (and you will have no claim for any payment of the related Voucher Value).

(b) with our prior consent, by the Supplier directly to the Customer.

10.4 If you are required to pay a refund of the Voucher Sale Price then you acknowledge we are under no obligation to refund or credit you any Charges relating to the sale of the original Supplier Voucher, unless and only to the extent that the refund was caused by our negligence or breach of this Agreement, or is otherwise required under applicable law.
