Customers must use one of the approved payment methods available during checkout to complete a purchase.

We reserve the right to modify, add, or remove payment options at any time without prior notice.


2. PayPal

PayPal is a trusted online payment platform that allows customers to complete transactions securely.

When selecting PayPal at checkout, customers may be redirected to PayPal's secure payment environment to authorize payment.

Benefits of using PayPal may include:

  • Secure payment processing
  • Buyer protection features offered by PayPal
  • Fast checkout experience
  • Protection of financial information
  • Convenient payment management

The use of PayPal services is subject to PayPal's own terms, policies, and user agreements.


3. Venmo

Celinefiles also accepts payments through Venmo where available.

Venmo provides customers with a convenient digital payment option that allows transactions through their Venmo account.

When using Venmo:

  • Payment authorization is required before order processing begins.
  • Transactions are processed through secure payment systems.
  • Customers must comply with Venmo's terms and conditions.

Availability of Venmo may depend on geographic location, device compatibility, account status, or platform requirements.


4. Payment Authorization

All orders are subject to payment authorization and verification.

Before an order is accepted, payment providers may perform security checks to verify:

  • Account validity
  • Transaction authenticity
  • Billing information
  • Fraud prevention indicators
  • Payment authorization status

Orders will not proceed to fulfillment until payment has been successfully authorized.


5. Currency

Unless otherwise stated, all prices displayed on the Celinefiles website are shown in:

United States Dollars (USD)

Customers whose financial institutions operate in other currencies may be subject to:

  • Currency conversion rates
  • Foreign transaction fees
  • International banking charges

Such fees are determined by the customer's financial institution and are not controlled by Celinefiles.


6. Payment Security

Protecting customer information is a priority.

To help maintain transaction security, payment processing is conducted through secure third-party payment providers.

Security measures may include:

  • Encrypted data transmission
  • Secure checkout technology
  • Fraud prevention monitoring
  • Payment verification systems
  • Account authentication procedures

Celinefiles does not store complete payment account credentials on its servers.

Payment information is handled according to the privacy and security practices of the applicable payment provider.


7. Order Confirmation

After successful payment authorization, customers will receive an order confirmation email.

The confirmation may include:

  • Order number
  • Purchased products
  • Billing information
  • Shipping information
  • Order summary
  • Transaction details

Receipt of an order confirmation does not guarantee final acceptance of the order.

Orders remain subject to verification, inventory availability, and review.


8. Failed Payments

Orders may not be completed if payment authorization cannot be obtained.

Common reasons for payment failure may include:

  • Insufficient account balance
  • Authorization denial
  • Security verification issues
  • Account restrictions
  • Technical processing errors
  • Payment provider limitations

If a payment fails, customers may attempt the transaction again using an available payment method.


9. Fraud Prevention

To protect customers and maintain a secure shopping environment, Celinefiles reserves the right to review transactions for potential fraud or unauthorized activity.

We may:

  • Request additional verification
  • Delay order processing
  • Contact customers for confirmation
  • Refuse suspicious transactions
  • Cancel orders that cannot be verified

These measures help reduce the risk of unauthorized purchases and protect both customers and the Company.

Many issues can be resolved more quickly through direct communication.

Examples include:

  • Duplicate charges

  • Correct the pricing information
  • Contact the customer regarding the discrepancy
  • Cancel the affected order

  • Shipping restrictions
  • Suspected fraud
  • Compliance concerns

If an order is canceled after payment has been received, an appropriate refund will be issued.
