Payment Policy

At kovarn (www.kovarn.shop), operated by AGL ACT RETAIL INVESTMENTS PTY LIMITED under the legal supervision of our director RENEE BRYANT, we are committed to providing a secure, reliable, and completely transparent financial transaction environment for our customers within the United States. This Payment & Billing Policy outlines our rigorous consumer financial protection standards, accepted electronic payment instruments, data encryption parameters, and billing transaction flows.

1. Certified Accepted Payment Gateways & Instruments

To ensure flexibility, institutional-grade security, and localized checkout comfort, kovarn utilizes Shopify Payments alongside mainstream verified multi-currency merchant accounts. We accept the following explicit payment methods at our digital checkout:

  • Credit and Debit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express (AMEX), Discover, Diners Club, and JCB.
  • Digital Wallets & Express Checkout: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay.

Please note that all financial transactions must be initiated, authorized, and fully cleared electronically through our secure online checkout framework. We strictly do not accept Cash on Delivery (COD), physical bank checks, postal money orders, or manual direct wire transfers under any operational circumstances.

2. Absolute Price Transparency & Currency Standardization

All prices, promotional balances, and transactions executed across kovarn.shop are denominated and legally settled strictly in United States Dollars (USD $). If you are purchasing from a bank or checking account located outside the United States, your financial institution or credit card issuer may automatically apply an autonomous cross-border transaction fee or currency conversion rate determined solely by their internal institutional policies; kovarn is not liable for these autonomous banking charges.

We operate under a strict principle of Zero Hidden Costs. The gross final price you see displayed on your designated Order Confirmation screen is the definitive total financial amount that will be billed to your payment method. This gross price systematically includes:

  • The exact retail price of the physical product(s) ordered.
  • $0.00 Shipping Fees (under our standardized 100% Free Standard United States Freight framework).
  • Applicable state and federal sales taxes (calculated dynamically based on your specific U.S. zip code, automatically disclosed on the billing page before you authorize the final transaction).

3. Financial Data Privacy, Encryption, and PCI-DSS Compliance

Your sensitive financial identifiers are protected with the highest available standard of digital infrastructure security. The entire data processing path at kovarn.shop is structurally protected using 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transmission encryption technology. This ensures that your private card numbers, expiration metrics, and CVV security codes remain completely obfuscated from third-party interception or unauthorized network breaches.

Furthermore, our retail store infrastructure sits directly on an advanced e-commerce platform that is globally certified as Level 1 PCI-DSS Compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). We explicitly state that kovarn, AGL ACT RETAIL INVESTMENTS PTY LIMITED, and RENEE BRYANT strictly do not store, view, log, or maintain records of your raw credit card numbers or backend card security codes within our corporate administrative database. All card tokenization, authorization, and capture sequences are routed seamlessly via decentralized merchant network architectures directly to your issuing bank.

4. Order Verification and Anti-Fraud Triage

To safeguard our consumer base against identity theft and unauthorized card usage, kovarn deploys automated anti-fraud transactional screening tools. We cross-reference billing information, IP geolocation coordinates, and card issuing origins in real-time. We reserve the right to systematically cancel any order that flags a high-risk probability of unauthorized transaction or identity spoofing.

If your transaction is flagged by our security perimeter, our customer experience department will contact you exclusively from support@kovarn.shop to request a secure non-sensitive identity verification. If you fail to verify or provide valid operational authorization within 48 business hours, the pending order will be voided automatically, and a 100% immediate transaction void will be executed back to the original source of payment.
