Our online store merely queries whether the payment information provided by you satisfies the criteria set by payment service provider’s  algorithm and then returns back the results. If your payment information does not satisfy payment service provider’s criteria, the payment request is declined.

This process may result in you not being able to complete a purchase on our site. You may want to check your payment information or try again using a different method of payment. Otherwise, you may request that we provide information about our decision-making methodology and ask us to verify that the automated decision has been made correctly. We may reject the request, as permitted by applicable law, including when providing the information would result in a disclosure of a trade secret or would interfere with the prevention or detection of fraud or other crime but generally in these circumstances we will ask our payment service provider to verify that its algorithm and source data are functioning as anticipated without error or bias.
