Payment information security
CATBA OUTDOORS undertakes to implement the necessary measures to keep customers' payment information secure.
We do not store payment card information, bank passwords or financial security information beyond the scope necessary to process transactions.
Customers are responsible for keeping their own account information, passwords and payment data secure when making online transactions.
Handling of unsuccessful transactions
Where a payment transaction is unsuccessful due to a technical error, a bank system error, incorrect payment information or other objective causes, CATBA OUTDOORS will coordinate with the customer to check and handle the matter as soon as possible.
If the money has been deducted from the customer's account but CATBA OUTDOORS has not yet received the payment, the customer needs to provide the transaction documents in order to be supported with verification.

- Providing complete and accurate payment information.
- Making payment on time as agreed.
