01About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and The Career Development Society of Uganda (CDSU), a non-partisan, non-profit organisation based at Plot 5007, Valley Drive, Bulamu Ward, Gayaza, Wakiso District - Uganda.

They apply to every payment made to CDSU through this website, by bank transfer or by mobile money, including book orders, memberships, training fees, seminar registration and donations. By making a payment you confirm that you have read and accept them.

02Payments

Prices are shown in Uganda Shillings (UGX) and include everything stated in the description of each product or service. Please pay only to the official accounts below. CDSU will never ask you to pay into a personal account.

• Confirming your payment. After paying, confirm it with the form in the payment window on this site, giving your full name, contact details and transaction ID; you receive a reference number straight away. You can also send these details by WhatsApp to +256 781 442 037 or by email to info.cdsu@gmail.com. Your order, membership or place is confirmed once we have matched the payment, and members can follow its status under My Account.
• Mobile money safety. Check the merchant name shown on your phone before entering your PIN. CDSU staff will never ask for your PIN.
• Charges. Any bank, transfer or mobile money charges are paid by the sender. For international transfers to the USD account, please make sure CDSU receives the full amount.
