Shopping with www.hoagard.co

We will take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered. The fact that you receive an automatic order acknowledgement does not necessarily mean that we will be able to meet your order.

Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the order. We will send you a dispatch confirmation by email. When we dispatch the order the purchase contract will be made even if your payment has been processed prior to dispatch, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order.

 

We reserve the right to refuse an order :

 

    - Where the goods are unavailable

    - Where we cannot obtain authorization for your payment

    - If there has been a pricing or product description error

    - If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions

 

Payment & Security

 

Orders may be processed online, using a credit or debit card (currently VISA, MasterCard, Mollie and PayPal Express Checkout)

Paypal ensure that all your credit card details are encrypted and sent securely between you, your bank and HOAGARD.

 

Your credit card company may also carry out additional security checks. In the event your card is declined please contact your card issuer to authorize the transaction.

 

We may feel the need to carry out additional security checks to help protect both HOAGARD and its customers. In these cases we may ask for additional proof of ID such as a driving licence or utility bill. You will be contacted either by email or by phone if this is necessary.
