Prices and Payment
All credit/debit card payments are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the issuer. If the issuer of the credit/debit card refuses to authorise payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and your order will be cancelled. The details on the credit/debit card used to make the payment must match the information of the cardholder as held by the issuer. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon completion of the processing of your order by DOSC.
