Payment Policy
Payments for purchases made through this website are completed during the online checkout process. The payment options available to you are determined by the methods currently enabled for the store and displayed at the time you place an order. Payment services may be changed, added, or removed as the store configuration develops. If a particular payment method does not appear during checkout, it is not available for that transaction and cannot be assumed to be accepted through another channel.
The amount you are responsible for paying is the final total presented during the last stage of checkout before the order is submitted. This amount may include the prices of the products you selected, applicable discounts or promotions, the shipping service and associated charge, and any taxes calculated by the checkout system. Customers should review the complete order summary carefully before confirming the purchase. The total shown at the final confirmation stage represents the amount associated with the order.
Product prices displayed publicly on the website may change after an order has been placed. A later change to the advertised price does not alter the amount of an order that has already been successfully confirmed. The price and charges associated with a completed order are based on the information presented and accepted during checkout. If part of an order is later cancelled, any applicable refund will be handled according to the store’s refund and cancellation policies.
When you submit an order, the selected payment provider may attempt to authorize or capture the amount required for the purchase. Payment approval is necessary for the order to proceed. If the payment provider declines the transaction, the purchase is not considered successfully confirmed and the store will not begin shipment for that unsuccessful transaction. If another payment option is available at checkout, you may return to the payment stage and use one of the methods offered there.
Payments must be completed through the payment options provided by the website. The store does not accept cash sent by mail, cryptocurrency payments, or payment card information submitted through email. Customers should never send complete card numbers or other sensitive payment credentials through the contact address. Using the secure checkout process helps ensure that payment information is handled through the appropriate payment service.
Depending on the payment provider, the transaction may appear on your bank or card statement under a descriptor that differs from the store name shown on the website. A temporary authorization or pending transaction may also appear before the final payment is completed. Such an authorization does not necessarily represent an additional completed charge. If an order is cancelled after an authorization has been placed, the bank or payment provider is generally responsible for releasing the pending amount according to its own processing schedule.
By completing payment, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method. If a payment provider later informs the store that a transaction was not authorized by the account holder or otherwise presents a payment concern, the store may cancel the affected order. If funds were already captured, an applicable refund may be issued according to the relevant refund process. In situations where a transaction appears unusual or requires additional verification, the store may request reasonable confirmation of identity or payment authorization before proceeding.
Prices and totals are presented using the currency configured for the store and shown during the shopping and checkout process. If your bank account or payment card uses another currency, your financial institution may convert the transaction into your local currency. Any exchange rate, foreign transaction fee, or conversion charge applied by the bank or card issuer is determined by that institution and is outside the store’s control.
The order confirmation email serves as an important record of the purchase and payment information associated with the transaction. Customers should retain this confirmation until the order has been delivered and any applicable return period has ended. If you need the confirmation sent again, contact owalalife@gmail.com using the same email address that was entered during checkout. Providing the original checkout email address and order information helps the store locate the correct transaction. If a payment or order cannot be matched to an existing record, the store may not be able to recreate or resend documentation for it.
If you believe you have been charged twice for the same purchase, contact owalalife@gmail.com and provide the relevant dates, amounts, and order number whenever available. The store will compare the reported transactions with the orders recorded in its system. A second purchase intentionally submitted by the customer is treated as a separate order rather than an accidental duplicate payment. However, if two payment captures were made for one order because of a processing error, the additional capture can be reviewed and, when confirmed, refunded.
Customers are encouraged to contact the store before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback when there is a problem with an order. Many issues can be resolved directly through the applicable shipping, return, refund, cancellation, or warranty process. Beginning a chargeback while the store is already investigating or arranging a refund may delay the resolution because the payment provider may place the transaction into a separate dispute process. Direct communication should therefore be the preferred first step whenever possible.
Any tax displayed as a separate line during checkout forms part of the final amount presented for confirmation. The store does not intentionally add an undisclosed tax after an order has been confirmed. Similarly, if you choose an upgraded shipping service or another shipping option that carries an additional charge, that cost becomes part of the total shown before the order is placed. If you later decide that you no longer want the selected shipping upgrade, changing it is treated as an order modification and is subject to the applicable cancellation or order-change policy rather than being handled as a payment dispute.
Keeping your confirmation email is recommended because it provides a convenient reference when contacting the store about payment, delivery, returns, or other order-related matters. When reporting a payment issue, include the order number whenever possible, along with the transaction date and amount. A bank statement entry or screenshot without an order reference may be more difficult to identify, particularly when multiple purchases have similar totals.
The payment information displayed at checkout is the most current indication of which payment methods are available for a particular order. Customers should review the final order summary, payment method, shipping selection, taxes, discounts, and total amount before submitting payment. Completing the checkout confirmation indicates acceptance of the displayed transaction total and allows the selected payment provider to process the payment according to its applicable procedures.
