Article 11: Security of transactions

UNIWORLD implements all means to ensure the confidentiality and the data security transmitted on the website www.Mandalashop-online.com via the secure interface of the online payment system of our bank partner. 

After selecting the type of credit card, you will be connected to our secure payment server. Then, you can simply indicate your card number, its expiration date and its visual cryptogram (with the exception of Bancontact).

The payment is entirely secured thanks to the system of online payment of our bank partner CIC. Your bank data circulate on Internet only in an encrypted form, i.e. they are coded so as to make them completely unreadable. Moreover, they are only processed by the bank and are never in possession of UNIWORLD LLC. Indeed, when you enter your credit card number to shop on the website mandalashop-online.com you actually transfer such data to the CIC.

Technical details: The security system is based on an SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer). Encryption is fully supported by SIPS (Secure Internet Payment Service of Atos). This payment solution is the most used in France for only payment.

Article 12: Fight against the bank fraud

Non-transmission of data related to your order prevents the execution and analysis of your transaction. 

The occurrence of unpaid invoices due to fraudulent use of a credit card will imply the registration of the data related to your order, and in connection to this outstanding payment, within a payment incident file. 

UNIWORLD LLC can also decide to cancel any order that would present one or more risk factors of fraudulent credit card usage. 

UNIWORLD LLC reserves the right to check the personal data communicated by the customer and to take all measures deemed necessary to verify that the person whose bank account is debited is the one who placed the order, so as to avoid any fraudulent payment. 

To perform such verification, UNIWORLD LLC may request the following documents: identity and/or residence and/or bank documents (bank account number or cancelled check). 

In case of absence of response from the customer to a request of this type within two days after UNIWORLD LLC request, your order will be automatically cancelled, without any possibility of subsequent claim.

 

Article 13: Product availability

For products in stock or on reservation (in stock dated): the order will be carried out at the latest within 3 working days from the date of order. However the customer will be informed of the date of delivery before any order validation.
