Payment Policy

Effective Date: December 31, 2024

At CloudTechHato, we strive to make your shopping experience as smooth and secure as possible. This Payment Policy outlines the payment methods we accept, the payment process, and other important details related to processing payments for products and services.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods for purchases on our website:

  • Credit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and other major credit cards.
  • Debit Cards: Debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo.
  • PayPal: Secure online payment through your PayPal account.
  • Other Payment Methods: We may also accept other payment methods that will be available at checkout.

All payments must be made in US dollars (USD).

2. Payment Processing

  • Secure Transactions: All payments are processed through secure payment gateways that use encryption to protect your personal and financial information.
  • Authorization: When you place an order, the payment method you provided will be authorized for the total amount of your order, including taxes and shipping fees. If the payment is successfully authorized, your order will be processed.
  • Payment Failure: If your payment is declined or fails, we will notify you immediately. You may need to provide a valid payment method to complete your purchase. We are not responsible for any delays in processing orders due to payment issues.

3. Billing Information

When placing an order, you are required to provide accurate and complete billing information, including your full name, address, phone number, and valid payment details. This information is necessary for payment processing, order verification, and fraud prevention.

  • Address Verification: We may use address verification to ensure that the billing address provided matches the one on file with your credit card issuer. If we are unable to verify the address, your order may be canceled or delayed.

4. Pricing and Charges

  • Product Prices: All prices listed on our website are in US dollars (USD) and exclude applicable taxes and shipping fees unless otherwise specified.
  • Sales Tax: Sales tax will be applied to your order based on your shipping address and in accordance with state and local tax laws.
  • Shipping Fees: Shipping fees are calculated at checkout based on the shipping method and delivery location.
  • Price Changes: We reserve the right to change the prices of products without prior notice. If a price change occurs after you have placed your order, you will be charged the price at the time of your order confirmation.

5. Order Confirmation and Payment Authorization

  • Order Confirmation: After completing the payment, you will receive an order confirmation email detailing your purchase, including the products ordered, pricing, taxes, and shipping information. This confirmation does not imply that your payment has been successfully processed; it merely confirms that your order has been received.
  • Payment Authorization: Your payment will be authorized at the time of your order, and the total amount (including taxes and shipping) will be reserved. The actual charge to your account will occur once the order is processed and shipped.

6. Payment Issues

If there are any issues with your payment, such as a declined transaction, incorrect billing information, or insufficient funds, your order may be delayed or canceled. In such cases, we will notify you via email or phone, and you may be asked to provide updated payment information.

7. Refunds

Refunds will be processed to the original payment method used for the purchase. Refunds may take up to 7-10 business days to appear in your account, depending on your payment provider’s policies.

8. Security

We prioritize the security of your personal and financial information. Our payment processing system is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology to protect your data during transmission. However, please note that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

9. Fraud Prevention

To protect against fraud, we may verify the identity and payment information provided during the checkout process. This may include using address verification services, payment authentication, or contacting you for additional information. We reserve the right to cancel or delay any order if we suspect fraudulent activity or unauthorized payment.

10. Currency

All transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD). If you are located outside the United States, please note that your payment provider may convert the currency and charge additional fees.

11. Changes to the Payment Policy

CloudTechHato reserves the right to modify this Payment Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we process payments.
