If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through a secure channel. Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. The cardholder must retain a copy of transaction records and Merchant policies and rules.
If you make a payment for our products or services on our website, the details you are asked to submit will be provided directly to our payment provider via a secured connection.
Your acceptance of this agreement and submission of credit card data will constitute irrevocable authority to obtain authorization and/or payment on your credit card. If your card is charged twice for the same transaction, a refund will be processed for the excess amount.
By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for the purpose of currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent when browsing our website so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.
Multiple shipments/delivery may result in multiple postings to the cardholder’s monthly statement.
We accept payments online using PayPal, Visa and MasterCard credit/debit card in AED

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their privacy policies concerning the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada, and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States. Your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
