Payment Policy

Effective September 19, 2026.

What We Accept

We accept major credit and debit cards. All transactions are processed in U.S. dollars (USD).

One-time payments only. No hidden fees or recurring subscriptions. We do not store your card on file for future charges, and we do not enroll you in anything by default.

Sales Tax

Sales tax, where it applies, is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address. You will see the exact amount on the checkout page before you authorize payment. Prices shown on product pages do not include sales tax.

Import Duties

Import duties are already included in the price you pay. Nothing further is owed on delivery. See the Shipping Policy.

Authorization Holds

When you place an order, your bank may place a temporary authorization hold for the order amount before the charge settles. If an order is cancelled, that hold is released by your bank, typically within a few business days. A released hold is not a refund and will not appear as a separate credit.

Payment Security

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers that maintain PCI DSS compliance. Card details are submitted directly to the payment provider and are never stored on our servers. Our checkout runs over HTTPS with TLS encryption.

We never ask for your full card number, PIN, or card security code by email, by phone, or through any channel other than the secure checkout page. If you receive such a request claiming to be from us, do not respond to it and please tell us.

International Transaction Fees

Our payment processing is handled outside the United States. Some U.S. card issuers charge a foreign transaction fee, commonly around 3%, on purchases processed abroad. If your issuer charges this, it is a fee set and collected by your bank, not by us, and we do not receive any part of it. Whether it applies depends on your card. Check with your issuer if you are unsure.

Pricing Errors

We try hard to keep prices accurate, but errors happen. If an item is listed at an obviously incorrect price, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund you in full rather than fulfill it at that price. We will contact you before doing so.

Declined Payments

If your payment is declined, no order is created and no charge is made. Declines are decided by your bank, not by us, and we are not told the reason. Contact your card issuer if a payment is declined unexpectedly.

Chargebacks

If something has gone wrong with your order, please email us at support@avermonts.com first. We reply within 24 hours and we would much rather fix the problem directly. Filing a chargeback before contacting us generally takes longer for you than simply asking us to sort it out.
