Terms Applicable to Online Payments
These terms apply to every payment made through the online payment form on this website, operated by Lincoln Institute of Graduate Studies (LIGS) ("we", "us"). By submitting a payment you accept these terms.
Payments are processed by PayHere (Pvt) Ltd. Your card or bank details are entered on PayHere's secure page, not on our website. You must be authorised to use the card or account you pay with. PayHere's own terms apply to the payment step.
The amount shown on the payment form represents the applicable payment amount. Payments are made in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR). For credit or debit card payments made through the online payment portal, an online platform convenience fee of 2.77% is applied at checkout. Your bank may also apply its own fees where applicable.
You must provide an accurate name, email address, telephone number and any other details requested by the form. The payment acknowledgement is sent to the email address you enter. We are not responsible for documents sent to an email address entered incorrectly.
A payment is complete only when PayHere confirms it to us. You will then see a confirmation page and receive an emailed payment acknowledgement with a reference code. If you do not receive the acknowledgement within 24 hours, contact us with your PayHere payment reference. Please do not make the payment again before checking with us.
The document generated by the online payment portal is a payment acknowledgement confirming that the online payment was received. It is not an official receipt and does not by itself confirm enrolment, registration or allocation. To obtain an official receipt, visit ligsfp.ligs.lk and upload your payment acknowledgement to your account.
If a payment fails or is cancelled, you are not charged. If money has left your account but you received no confirmation, the bank normally reverses it within 7–10 working days. Contact us if it does not.
Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy . Approved refunds are returned according to the applicable refund procedure. Online platform convenience fees are not refundable.
If you believe a payment is incorrect, contact us first so that the matter can be reviewed. A card dispute raised without first contacting us may result in the related service being withheld until the matter is resolved.
If a payment was recorded against incorrect details, such as a mistyped student ID, contact us with the payment reference code so that the relevant records can be reviewed and corrected.
We may suspend or change the online payment facility at any time. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by PayHere, your bank or your internet connection. Alternative payment methods may be obtained by contacting LIGS.
Personal data submitted with a payment is handled as described in our Privacy Policy .
We may update these terms. The version displayed on this page at the time of payment applies. These terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka.
