In accordance with Article 37 of Law 16/2009 of 13 November on payment services, the commitment to pay made through a bank card is irrevocable. By providing information about their bank card, the Customer authorizes the charge on his card.

All payments are made through a secure payment gateway that encrypts card data and PAYPAL. In order to provide maximum security to the payment system, MERCULES uses secure payment systems of leading financial institutions in e-commerce. In this sense, the confidential payment data are transmitted directly and encrypted (SSL) to the corresponding financial institution. For payment with Visa and MasterCard cards, MERCULES has introduced the SEC (Secure Electronic Commerce) service with the international 3D Secure protocol, which is distinguished by the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode marks. The Secure Electronic Commerce is an initiative whose basic principle is to guarantee the security of Internet transactions. When making the payment through the secure payment gateway, the system will automatically verify that the credit card is activated for Secure e-Commerce. It will then connect to the issuing bank, which will ask you to authorize the transaction by means of a personal authentication code. The transaction will only take place if the bank issuing the credit card confirms the authentication code. Otherwise, the transaction will be rejected.

As a complementary measure to the system of "secure payment" and with the aim of collaborating in the prevention of fraud over the Internet, MERCULES reserves the right to verify the personal data provided by the customer and take the measures it deems appropriate (including the cancellation of the order) so that the goods purchased are delivered in accordance with the data contained in the order.
