2. Payment Processing

  • Order Confirmation: Your payment is processed immediately upon order confirmation. Once your payment has been successfully processed, you will receive an order confirmation email with your receipt.
  • Authorization: We use secure payment processing systems to authorize and charge your payment method. In some cases, your payment may be held for additional verification by the payment provider.
  • Currency: All transactions are processed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.

3. Payment Security

We take the security of your personal and payment information very seriously. We use industry-standard encryption technology (SSL) to protect your data during transmission. All payments made through our website are securely processed through trusted payment gateways to ensure that your financial information is kept safe and private.

  • Secure Socket Layer (SSL): SSL encryption ensures that all sensitive data, such as credit card information and personal details, are encrypted before transmission.
  • PCI Compliance: Our payment processing systems comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to protect your payment information.
  • Fraud Prevention: We implement fraud detection and prevention measures to protect both you and us from unauthorized transactions. If a transaction is flagged for suspicious activity, we may contact you to verify the details before proceeding with the order.

4. Order Review and Authorization

  • Payment Authorization: Your payment will be authorized at the time of purchase. If there is an issue with your payment (e.g., insufficient funds, expired card), we will notify you to resolve the matter.
  • Payment Holds: In some cases, there may be a delay in processing your payment due to technical reasons or third-party payment verification processes. If there is any issue with your payment, our customer service team will contact you to address the situation.
  • Backorders or Pre-orders: If your order includes items on backorder or pre-order, you will only be charged for the items that are available for immediate shipment. Once the backordered or pre-ordered items are available, we will charge the payment method for those items before shipping.

5. Taxes and Additional Charges

  • Sales Tax: We are required by law to charge sales tax on orders shipped to certain U.S. states. The applicable sales tax will be calculated and added to your order at checkout.
  • Customs Fees: For international orders, customers are responsible for any customs fees, import duties, and taxes that may be imposed by the destination country. These fees are not included in the purchase price and must be paid by the customer upon arrival.
  • Shipping Fees: Shipping charges are calculated separately and will be displayed at checkout based on your shipping address and chosen shipping method. For domestic orders over $100, we offer free standard shipping.

6. Payment Issues

If you experience issues with payment, such as a declined transaction or an error during checkout, please check the following:

  • Ensure Sufficient Funds: Confirm that your account or credit card has sufficient funds available.
  • Verify Payment Details: Double-check that the information entered, including the billing address and payment details, is accurate.
  • Contact Your Bank or Payment Provider: Sometimes, payments may be blocked by your bank or payment provider due to security reasons. We recommend contacting them to resolve the issue.
