Transaction Security

Effective Date: August 24, 2025

At GSD Pack Pulse Gear ("we," "us," or "our"), we prioritize the security of your financial transactions. This Transaction Security page explains how we protect your payment information and outlines your responsibilities when shopping on our website, www.gsdparent.com. By placing an order, you agree to this Transaction Security policy, which is incorporated into our Terms of Service, Return Policy, and Shipping Policy.

1. Secure Payment Processing

• Our online store is powered by Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform that uses industry-standard security measures to protect your payment information.
• All transactions are processed through Shopify’s secure payment gateway, which employs 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to safeguard your data during transmission.
• We accept payments via major credit cards, debit cards, and other methods displayed at checkout (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay, where available). We do not store your payment information on our servers; it is handled directly by Shopify and its trusted payment processors.

2. Your Responsibilities

• You are responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete payment information at checkout. This includes ensuring your credit card or payment method is valid and authorized for use.
• You represent and warrant that: (i) the payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete; (ii) you are authorized to use the payment method; and (iii) charges incurred will be honored by your payment provider.
• If a payment is declined or disputed, we reserve the right to cancel your order or delay fulfillment until payment is resolved. We are not liable for any fees or penalties imposed by your payment provider.

3. Fraud Prevention

• We use automated fraud detection tools provided by Shopify to identify and prevent unauthorized transactions. This may include verifying your billing and shipping information.
• If we suspect fraudulent activity, we may contact you to confirm your order or cancel it at our sole discretion, with notice provided via the contact information you submitted.
• You agree not to engage in any fraudulent or unauthorized use of our website, including using stolen or invalid payment methods. Such actions may result in account suspension or termination, as outlined in our Terms of Service.

4. Data Protection

• Your personal and payment information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Shopify’s Privacy Policy (available at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). We do not share your payment details with third parties except as necessary to process your transaction or comply with legal requirements.
• While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no online transaction is 100% secure. By using our website, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of online payments.

5. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

• WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SECURITY OF THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS OR CARRIERS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE PROCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners (including Shopify and payment processors) shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from transaction issues, including but not limited to unauthorized access, data breaches, payment disputes, or transaction failures.
• Our total liability for any transaction-related claim shall not exceed the purchase price of the affected order, excluding shipping fees.
• Force majeure events (e.g., cyberattacks, system outages, or third-party service disruptions) excuse any performance failures without liability.
• This policy complies with applicable laws, including those of the State of Oregon. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.

6. Returns and Refunds

• Issues with orders (e.g., damaged, defective, or incorrect items) are handled under our Return Policy. Refunds, if approved, are issued to the original payment method and exclude shipping fees unless otherwise required by law.
• We do not refund or reverse charges for orders canceled due to payment disputes, fraud, or customer errors.

7. Changes to This Policy

• We reserve the right to update this Transaction Security policy at any time. Changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our website constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
