    5. We are under no obligation to provide the Product and/or Service to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a dispatch confirmation, where applicable, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.
    6. The manner in which payment may be made to the AICC by you as user and/or account holder for Products and/or Services is determined by the AICC, allocated at the sole discretion of the AICC and governed entirely by the AICC.
