Last Updated: February 6, 2026
Welcome to Arabian Scent. This Payment Policy outlines our terms, accepted payment methods, and the rigorous security measures we take to protect our customers and our business. This store is owned and operated by MahazZahid LLC.
1. Accepted Methods of Payment
We offer a variety of secure payment options to ensure a smooth shopping experience. We currently accept:
- Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express (Amex), Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay, and Elo.
- Digital & Mobile Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.
- Accelerated Checkout: Shop Pay (by Shopify).
All payments must be made in full at the time of purchase. We do not offer "Cash on Delivery" (COD) or payment installments unless explicitly stated through a third-party provider like Shop Pay Installments.
2. Currency & Transaction Fees
All prices, shipping costs, and taxes are listed and processed in United States Dollars (USD).
- If you are using a card issued outside of the USA, your bank may charge a currency conversion fee.
- Arabian Scent is not responsible for any additional bank fees or international transaction charges applied by your financial institution.
3. Payment Security & Data Encryption
Your financial security is our top priority. Our website uses industry-standard security protocols:
- PCI DSS Compliance: Our store is hosted on the Shopify platform, which is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. This means your data is handled with the highest level of security.
- 256-bit SSL Encryption: Every transaction is protected by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which encrypts your sensitive information (like card numbers) before it is transmitted.
- No Stored Card Data: We never see or store your full credit card number. All payment processing is handled by encrypted third-party gateways.
4. Fraud Prevention & Security Checks
To protect both our customers and our brand from unauthorized transactions, we have implemented a strict Fraud Prevention System:
- AVS (Address Verification System): We verify that the billing address provided matches the address on file with your credit card issuer.
- CVV/CVC Verification: All credit card transactions require a valid 3- or 4-digit security code.
- High-Risk Flagging: Our system automatically scans every order for "high-risk" indicators (e.g., mismatching IP locations, suspicious email addresses, or high-value orders from new customers).
- Manual Review: If an order is flagged, our security team may contact you for further identity verification or proof of purchase.
- Right to Cancel: Arabian Scent reserves the right to cancel any order that fails our security checks without prior notice. In such cases, a full refund will be issued to the original payment method.
5. Billing Information Accuracy
To avoid delays or cancellations, please ensure that:
- The billing name and address match the information on your bank statement.
-
Your contact information (phone & email) is accurate so we can reach you if a verification check is required.
Orders with mismatched billing and shipping information may be subject to additional holding periods for security review.
6. Sales Tax & VAT
In accordance with U.S. state laws, sales tax will be automatically calculated and added to your total at checkout based on your shipping destination. We comply with all state and local tax regulations for MahazZahid LLC.
7. Refund & Credit Processing
Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment method used at checkout.
- Timeline: Once initiated, refunds typically take 3–7 business days to appear on your bank statement.
- Please note that we cannot issue refunds to a different card or bank account for security and anti-money laundering reasons.
8. Order Authorization & Declines
If your payment is declined:
- Double-check your card number, expiration date, and CVV.
- Ensure your billing address is correct.
- Contact your bank to see if they have placed a temporary block on luxury or high-value online purchases.
- Try an alternative payment method like PayPal or Apple Pay.
9. Chargebacks & Disputes
We encourage customers to contact us at info@royaloudusa.com before initiating a chargeback. Most issues can be resolved quickly through our support team. Unauthorized chargebacks or fraudulent dispute claims will result in the customer being blacklisted from future purchases at Arabian Scent.
10. Policy Updates
Arabian Scent (MahazZahid LLC) reserves the right to modify or update this Payment Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted here and will apply to all future transactions.
