8.5.2 The User can enter the promotional code in the window where he must select the payment method. The user must enter the code before selecting the payment method and confirm the code entry by clicking the "Add promotional code" button. Upon confirmation, the system checks the validity of the promotional code and calculates the subtotal for payment. If the code is not valid, a warning is displayed. If the user does not enter or does not confirm the entered code or the code is invalid but nevertheless decides to go ahead with the purchase, the User is obliged to pay the full amount.

8.5.3 Each use of the promotional code applies to one purchase, which is decided by the User alone.
