We use one of the most secure online ordering systems on the market, and are constantly researching and improving our software to make sure we offer the highest possible security at all times to meet the highest possible industry standards and best practices to ensure honest and truthful online transactions.
We utilise industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and other critically sensitive information like your credit card details. Information passed between your computer and our website cannot be read in the event someone else intercepts it.
This technology includes the following features:
Authentication - this assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct computer server, and that the server is secure.
Encryption - this encodes the data, so that it cannot be read by anyone other than the secure server.
Data Integrity - this checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered.
In the unlikely incidence of unauthorised use of your card you must report the incident immediately to your credit card provider in order to qualify for security protection.
The time at which you'll be charged for your order will depend on the payment method you selected at checkout.
If your card is authorised, payment will be taken immediately, and you will receive an email confirming that your order has been successful.
If your card is not authorised, payment will not be taken, and we'll email to let you know your bank or card issuer wouldn't authorise the payment.
1. Place your order again
If your payment has been declined, then you'll need to place your order again. We're not able to reinstate an order once the payment has been declined.
2. Make the relevant checks
To help ensure your order is not declined when placing a new order we suggest checking the following:
Check the card details on your Ancient Ellenic Civilization account to make sure the information is correct, e.g. the expiry date or your billing address.
Make sure you enter the security code correctly - that's the three digit number on the back of your card.
Your card issuer may have declined your payment - as they don't tell us the reason for this, it's best to check with them or contact your bank.
If you've checked all of the above, try paying with another card.
