Payment Policy

Last Updated: March 24, 2025

At Gearhato.net, we aim to provide a smooth and secure payment experience for all our customers. This Payment Policy outlines the payment methods we accept, payment processing procedures, and related terms when making a purchase on our website.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

We accept a variety of payment methods to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible:

  • Credit and Debit Cards: We accept major credit and debit cards, including:
    • Visa
    • MasterCard
    • American Express
    • Discover
  • PayPal: You can also pay using your PayPal account.
  • Other Payment Methods: Additional payment methods may be available during checkout depending on your location and the products you are purchasing.

By selecting any of these payment methods, you authorize Gearhato.net to charge the total amount of your order, including shipping fees and taxes, to the payment account provided.

2. Payment Processing

  1. Order Confirmation: After you place an order, you will receive an order confirmation email. This email contains the details of your order, including the products purchased, total cost, taxes, and expected delivery time. This is an acknowledgment that we have received your order, but it does not guarantee payment processing at this point.

  2. Payment Authorization: When you enter your payment details, we will verify the payment to ensure sufficient funds are available to process your order. The payment will not be charged until the order has been confirmed and shipped.

  3. Payment Charges: Once your order is confirmed, the payment will be processed and charged to your account. If there are any issues with your payment (such as expired credit cards, insufficient funds, or incorrect payment information), we will notify you and request updated payment details.

  4. Payment Security: Gearhato.net uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your payment information during transmission. Payment details are processed through trusted third-party payment processors, and we do not store sensitive payment information on our servers.

3. Taxes and Fees

  • Sales Tax: Sales tax will be applied to your order based on your delivery address and the applicable local tax rates. The tax amount will be calculated at checkout and included in the total cost of your order.
  • Shipping Fees: Shipping fees are calculated during checkout based on the size, weight, and delivery destination of your order. You will be able to view the shipping costs before completing your purchase. We may also offer free shipping during promotional periods, which will be noted during checkout.

4. Discounts and Promotions

  1. Promo Codes: If you have a valid promo code, you can enter it at checkout to apply a discount to your order. Please note that promo codes cannot be applied after the order has been placed.
  2. Seasonal Sales: Gearhato.net offers discounts and promotions throughout the year. These discounts may apply to specific products or order amounts. Special sales will be clearly communicated on the website during promotional events.
  3. Discount Restrictions: Some discounts, such as those applied during sales or promotions, may not be combined with other offers or coupon codes unless specified.

5. Late or Missing Payments

If your payment is delayed or not processed, we will contact you immediately for further details. You will be notified if the payment fails or if there is an issue with your payment method. If payment cannot be successfully processed, we reserve the right to cancel or delay your order until the payment issue is resolved.

6. Order Cancellations and Modifications

Once an order has been processed and shipped, it cannot be modified or canceled. If you need to cancel or modify your order, please contact our customer service team immediately, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

7. Payment Confirmation and Receipts

After successful payment processing, you will receive a receipt confirming the payment, along with the details of your order, including product information, total amount paid, and shipping details. Please keep this receipt for your records.

8. Refunds

If you are eligible for a refund, the amount will be credited to the original payment method used for the purchase. Please refer to our Refund and Returns Policy for more details on how refunds are handled.

9. Contact Us
