7.1) Credit Card In case the purchase of goods is made via credit card, together with the conclusion of the online transaction, the bank of reference will authorise only the amount of the purchase. The amount relative to the goods delivered, even partially, will only be charged to the Customer’s credit card after the goods have been shipped by Meliconi.
7.2) If the order is cancelled, either by Meliconi or the Customer, Meliconi will simultaneously request the cancellation of the transaction and release of the amount involved. The time required for the release of certain types of cards depends exclusively on the banking system and can reach their natural expiry date (typically 24-25 days from the date of authorisation). Once the transaction has been cancelled, under no circumstances can Meliconi be held responsible for any damage, direct or indirect, caused by delays in the failure to release the amount committed by the banking system.

7.4) Meliconi reserves the right to request additional information from the Customer (e.g. landline phone number) or to send copies of documents proving ownership of the card used. If the required documentation is not provided, Meliconi reserves the right to refuse the order.
7.5) As a greater guarantee and security for the Customer, at no time during the purchase procedure is Meliconi able to know the information relating to the Customer’s credit card, which is transmitted via a protected connection directly to the site of the bank that manages the transaction. No Meliconi computer files will retain such data. Under no circumstances can Meliconi be held responsible for any fraudulent or undue use of credit cards by third parties, when paying for products purchased on https://www.meliconi.com
