Credit Card user agreement

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • Discover
  • American Express

Credit card transactions at pathpedia.com are encrypted using industry-standard Network Solutions 128-bit encryption technology. This secure payment method allows for encrypted data transmission whether it is your credit card number, name, date of birth or any other personal information that we might use for completing your order with us. We do not redirect credit card users to third-party web sites for payment processing. The entire credit card transaction is mediated at pathpedia.com using our secure payment operation.

 

We do not accept cash, personal checks, bank-drafts, debit cards, or any gift cards. We also do not subscribe to Verified by Visa program. We do not call you for your credit card number or any other sensitive personal or financial information for payment processing.  

 

For failed credit card transactions neither we ask your card-issuing agency for reasons of failure nor we collect any personal data from them. As a credit card user it is your responsibility to contact your bank directly and solve any payment issues. A credit card may be declined because of cancellation or reduction of your credit line, expiration of your credit card, failure to update your address, and failure to enter correct credit card information such as credit card number, security code, expiration date, and name on the card. PathPedia, LLC does not mediate any credit card transaction disputes between you and your card-issuing agency. If you experience credit card authorization issues please contact your bank about payment security policies. Your bank may flag any unexpected activity on your account. This includes first time orders and high value purchases, regardless of the amount of funds available (or credit limit). Your bank may require your verbal authorization to proceed with a transaction. You may also contact your bank about daily withdrawal or purchase limits. Most banks have limits on how much money can be charged or accessed in a single day. If you exceed this daily amount, your bank may block your account from any further activity regardless of available funds in the account. Your bank may require you to request a higher purchase limit to complete the transaction.

 

When you enter required information while using a credit card we contact your card's issuing agency electronically to confirm the validity of all information. This is communicated via a full authorization for the amount of the purchase. If you make multiple credit card transactions in a single day your card may be authorized for each change and funds may be reserved against your account for each authorization.

 

We do not share, disseminate, sell, abuse, or provide your credit card and any other personal or financial information to any unauthorized individual or entities. As a user it is your responsibility to safeguard all your personal and financial formation by following safe practices including but not limited to not verbally providing any or all such sensitive information to imposters acting on behalf of pathpedia.com. An illegal credit card transaction may be successful if all the sensitive required information is furnished to our automated payment method. PathPedia, LLC is not liable for any damages incurred as a result of illegal use of your credit card. Please contact your credit card issuing agency for stop payment, illegal use of your card, and any damages you wish to claim.
