BILLING AND PAYMENTS
The GHA WellHotel® Accreditation can be purchased in three ways: via credit card, wire transfer, or through ACH. All customers, no matter their form of payment, will be asked to accept these Terms and Conditions. The policy and process for each type of payment is found below:
Credit Card Policy
Customers choosing to pay by credit card must use a valid debit or credit card for the purchase of GHA WellHotel®, and the auto-renewal of re-accreditation fees. The system will create an internal account to manage billing cycles. Customers will be provided access to the Financial Portal to manage their financial information. In all cases, the credit card must remain on file for the duration of the accreditation to comply with the auto-renewal policy. Only properly withdrawing from the accreditation will effectuate the termination of service in accordance with the Withdrawal Policy. Credit cards will only be charged in accordance with the terms of the GHA WellHotel® Accreditation, and auto renewal of re-accreditation fees as described above and below.
Offline Payments
Customers can request an invoice to purchase the GHA WellHotel® Accreditation with a Wire Transfer or ACH. Prior to the payment, customers will receive a link to review and accept these terms including the agreement to terms of termination, auto renewal, and the agreement to pay re-accreditation fees. Regardless of the payment method used to purchase the GHA programs, all customers must abide by the guidelines in the terms herein. Clients will receive an accreditation renewal invoice annually, sixty (60) days from the renewal date.
Auto-Renewal of Re-Accreditation Fees and Billing Policy
GHA WellHotel® Accreditation comes with an auto renewal of re-accreditation fees as defined at the point of purchase and herein. GHA is not obligated to send the customer any advance billing notices, or other notices indicating that your debit or credit card will be or has been charged. A courtesy e-mail will be sent as the receipt of payment after the payment has been made.
It is the customer’s responsibility to maintain valid cards on file and to replace expired or any card that is no longer authorized and/or expired. Customers may replace the credit card on file at any time.
Customers that do not have a credit card on file also agree to the auto-renewal of re-accreditation fees and an invoice will be provided with instructions and options for payment.
Annual Renewal of Accreditation
Each year, organizations must renew their accreditation to maintain the GHA WellHotel® Accreditation status. This will require submitting a renewal documentation for review. GHA will provide clients with a 60-day and 30-day notice regarding the re-accreditation renewal date. The email notices will include a link to the renewal documentations requirements form. On the anniversary of the accreditation-renewal date, the organization’s credit card will automatically be charged the application fee for the accreditation-renewal.
Removing a debit or credit card from the system does not release you from the liability for any outstanding or upcoming fees nor from canceling the accreditation following the withdrawal process.
If the required payment method fails or the account is past due, GHA may collect amounts owed by obtaining other payment methods provided by the customer, or by retaining collection agencies and legal counsel. GHA may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. If you wish to dispute the information GHA reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion) please contact us at Global Healthcare Accreditation, Inc. 4371 Northlake Boulevard, Suite 304, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, 33410. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your account, you must contact the collection agency directly.
GHA reserves the right to immediately and without notice, either suspend or terminate your Accreditation for unauthorized use of the program marks or misrepresentation of our products in accordance with the Terms & Conditions of these products.
You will also be required to pay any amounts still owed to GHA at the time your account is suspended or terminated, and to remove GHA logos from social media, website, etc.

However, an admin processing fee of USD 300.00 will be deducted from the refund.
