Electronic payments

The Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) provides an online payments system for payment of invoices issued by the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA). All website payments must be paid by VISA, Mastercard, or American Express. The cost of recovering any default of payments will be borne by the customer. Goods associated to any invoice remain the property of the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) until payment is received in full.

The payments system is provided through the National Australia Bank using the Stripe payment gateway and passes through a secure server using the latest 128-bit SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption technology. 128-bit SSL encryption is approximated to take at least one trillion years to break, and is the industry standard.

Prices are in Australian Dollars.

REFUNDS: Any refund for membership fees will be made in accordance with the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) Constitution. Refunds for other invoices issued by the Regional Aviation Association of Australia or it’s agents will be in accordance with the policy associated with the invoice in force at that time or, if there is no policy, upon a written request sent to the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA). The decision of the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) on any refund request is final and non-negotiable.
