2. Payment Process

2.1 Checkout and Order Confirmation

When placing an order, you will be prompted to select your preferred payment method and enter the required payment details.

Once your payment is successfully processed, you will receive an order confirmation email containing your order number and payment details.

If there is any issue with your payment (e.g., declined card or insufficient funds), we will notify you immediately, and the order will not be processed until payment is successfully received.

2.2 Security of Payment

We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect your personal and payment information during the transaction process.

Our payment system is fully compliant with PCI-DSS standards, ensuring that your data is protected.

For added security, we may require additional verification for certain transactions, especially for high-value orders or first-time purchases.

2.3 Payment Authorization

Upon submitting your payment details, the payment processor will perform an authorization check to ensure the provided information is valid and there are sufficient funds.

Once authorized, your payment will be processed and your order will be confirmed. If payment authorization fails, you will be prompted to review your payment information and try again.

3. Taxes and Additional Charges

3.1 Sales Tax

Sales tax will be applied to your order based on your shipping address and local tax laws. The applicable tax rate will be calculated during checkout and displayed before you complete your purchase.

3.2 Shipping Charges

Shipping fees are calculated based on the delivery method and destination. Free shipping promotions, if applicable, will be displayed clearly during checkout.
For international shipments, customs duties, taxes, and handling charges may apply, and these will be the responsibility of the customer.

3.3 Currency

All prices on our website are listed in USD (United States Dollar) unless otherwise specified.

For international customers, any additional currency conversion charges or fees imposed by your payment provider are your responsibility.

4. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks

4.1 Disputed Transactions

If you believe a payment was charged incorrectly, please contact our customer support team at [email protected] within 30 days of the transaction.

We will investigate the issue and resolve any discrepancies as quickly as possible.

4.2 Chargebacks

A chargeback occurs when a customer disputes a charge through their bank or card issuer. This may result in delays in processing refunds and can lead to additional administrative fees.

We strongly recommend contacting our customer support team directly before initiating a chargeback to resolve any issues efficiently.

4.3 Fraud Prevention

We take fraudulent activity very seriously. If we suspect a payment is fraudulent, we reserve the right to cancel the transaction, withhold shipment, or ask for additional verification to process the payment.

5. Payment Plan and Installment Options

5.1 Installment Payments

We currently offer installment payment plans for selected products through third-party payment providers like Klarna and Affirm.

If available, you will see the option to select a payment plan at checkout. Installment payments will be subject to the terms and conditions of the third-party provider.

5.2 Eligibility for Installments

To qualify for installment payments, you must meet the eligibility criteria set by the third-party provider, which may include credit checks.

Installment plans are available only for qualifying purchases and may not be applicable to all products or order amounts.

6. Refunds and Cancellations

6.1 Refund Process

Refunds for cancelled orders or returned items will be issued to the original payment method used during the purchase.

Refunds will be processed within 7-10 business days of the return being approved or the cancellation request being confirmed.

Please note that any shipping costs, taxes, or handling fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to an error on our part.

6.2 Order Cancellations

Orders can be canceled before they are processed and shipped. Once an order has been dispatched, you must follow our Return Policy to request a refund or exchange.
