Best Practices for Ensuring Safe Purchases on BoatMonkey
Credit Card Safety
- Never share your full credit card number, tax identification number, or password via email, BoatMonkey messages, or over the phone.
- If making a transaction in person, avoid speaking your credit card information aloud. Ensure you sign for the transaction and request a receipt.
- Regularly check your credit card statement to track spending and card activity.
- Keep track of your credit card: know who is authorized to use it and who has access to it.
Computer Safety
- Change your BoatMonkey passwords regularly. The more complex a password is, the better protected you are.
- If you share your computer or device, sign out of any website accounts before allowing others to use it.
On BoatMonkey
- Check a seller’s reviews and shop policies before making a purchase. If you have questions or concerns, send a message to the seller before buying.
- If you see an unrecognized charge from BoatMonkey on your bank or credit card statement, review the details. If you are still unable to confirm the charge, contact our support for assistance.
- Learn how BoatMonkey’s Purchase Protection program can help you get a full refund on your item. If you contacted the seller more than 48 hours ago without a response, choose Open a Case so BoatMonkey can assist you. For qualifying orders, you’ll receive a refund for any item that doesn’t arrive, arrives damaged, or doesn’t match the item description or photos.
- Keep your transactions on BoatMonkey. We cannot verify or assist with payments made outside of BoatMonkey.
- If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from BoatMonkey, forward it to us at support@boatmonkey.com.
- In some circumstances, BoatMonkey may use a third-party encryption service, SendSafely, to securely request additional information to confirm a transaction, such as a copy of a government-issued photo ID.
For goods sold within the European Union, VAT – if applicable – is included in the purchase price at the time of sale. Since BoatMonkey requires business sellers to list their prices inclusive of VAT, you won’t have to pay any additional amounts other than the total price displayed at checkout.
Outside this, it’s the seller’s responsibility to provide a legally compliant VAT invoice when required or asked by the buyer. The default receipt from BoatMonkey cannot be used for this purpose.
If you need a VAT invoice for your purchase, contact the business seller directly before placing the order to ensure they can provide the necessary documentation.
