If the Payment Method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. 

11.3 Payment details and e-mail address with payments

Payments are collected via so-called Payment Service Providers. These are external companies that are set up to process financial transactions in a manner as secure as possible. Financial details, such as a bank account number or credit card number, are therefore shared only with them when payment is made, since we do not collect such data. When a payment via a Payment Service Provider is initiated, details about the order and payment are passed on to us. For example, the amount, a short product description, but also your e-mail address for communication about the payment and the payment process.

The Company, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different rates to any of the Company’s customers. All prices are subject to change without notice. You agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the payment screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
