CUSTOMER PROTECTION & COOKIES

Updated 10/09/2023

For: Discount Tackle, Haiku Designs and other MetaCommerce websites.

 

Customer Protection:

Customer security is a top priority for us. All pages requesting personal and payment information during the checkout process provide encrypted data transmission. This security is denoted in the web address beginning with "https".

To place an order, a valid phone number and verifiable billing and shipping addresses are required. We may call to verify the billing and shipping information for any order. At our discretion, we may require an order only be shipped to the billing address associated with the payment method. In such a situation, you will be contacted to determine how you would like to proceed with the order.  For cardholder and other payment protection, if an order or credit card fails a fraud check, we may cancel it at our discretion or request additional identification.

We reserve the right to refuse service or cancel orders at our sole discretion.
