Processing Times FAQs
ETA Entry Online is a private, independent third-party service that helps travellers prepare and submit their UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) application. We are not the UK Government, GOV.UK, or any government agency, and we do not make ETA approval decisions — all decisions are made solely by the UK Government. You can also apply directly at the official GOV.UK website.

15. Region-Specific Provisions

The provisions outlined below apply in addition to our standard Terms for users located in designated jurisdictions. If a conflict arises between these region-specific provisions and our standard Terms, the regional terms shall take precedence for consumers in that location.

15.1 European Union (EU) Customers

  • § 15.1 Data Privacy Regulations:

    • In addition to UK data protection legislation, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR – Regulation 2016/679) applies to the handling of your personal data. Our Privacy Policy outlines our compliance under EU GDPR, detailing processing grounds, user rights, and contact avenues for relevant regulatory authorities. Cross-border transfers of European data to external processing locations rely on European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

  • § 15.2 Consumer Cancellation Rights:

    • Pursuant to the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), European consumers generally have a 14-day statutory right of withdrawal from the purchase date. However, if you request that we immediately start fulfilling your ETA application, you acknowledge that your right of cancellation expires once performance of the service has actively begun.

  • § 15.3 Withdrawal Request:

    • To exercise a cancellation before processing has started, you may submit a statement via our contact form stating: "I/We hereby revoke my/our agreement for the provision of the following service [describe service], ordered on [date], Name of consumer(s), Address of consumer(s), Date."

  • § 15.4 Resolution of Disputes:

    • European consumers may utilize the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) portal at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr or choose to file a claim within the courts of their home country.

15.2 United States (US) Customers

  • § 15.5 Disclaimer of Warranties:

    • To the maximum extent permitted by applicable US laws, our service is offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusions of implied warranties, so certain statements may not apply to you.

  • § 15.6 Liability Limitations:

    • To the full extent permitted by state law, our maximum total liability shall not exceed the actual amount paid by you for our service fee.

  • § 15.7 California Resident Notice:

    • California residents possess specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to access, delete, and correct their personal details. We do not sell user information. For state-specific consumer protection questions, California users may reach out to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

  • § 15.8 Dispute Handling & Arbitration Procedure:

    • (a) Informal Resolution — prior to initiating formal proceedings, you agree to submit a notice of dispute to our support team and allow 60 days for us to resolve the issue informally.
    (b) Binding Individual Arbitration — if unresolved after 60 days, disputes shall be settled through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except where small claims court applies.
    (c) Arbitration Opt-Out — you reserve the right to opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first using our platform by submitting a written notice via our contact form.
    (d) Class Action Waiver — to the maximum extent allowed by law, all disputes must be handled on an individual basis, and you waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding.

15.3 Rest of World
