In case of purchase cancellation by the User, the Company will - without delay - request the cancellation of the transaction, and the return of the sum.

In the absence of the required documentation, the Company reserves the right not to accept the order. At no time during the purchase procedure referred to in this article, the Company is able to know the information relating to the User's credit card, transmitted via secure connection directly to the payment gateway site that manages the transaction.
