5.6. Rejected orders: Due to standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will "ring-fence" the full amount of your order. If your order is subsequently rejected by the restaurant or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. This can take between 3 to 5 working days or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer. You agree that neither we nor the relevant restaurant will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.
