If the receivable due exceeds the authorized amount, the difference due will be charged by a second transaction.The time of debiting the User’s account is determined by the User’s respective credit card contract with his payment service provider.If the user’s payment service provider supports the “3D Secure procedure” (Verified by Visa / MasterCard® SecureCode™), this is used to increase security against misuse for payment by credit card. If the User’s payment service provider does not support the 3D Secure procedure or does not consider the implementation of the 3D Secure procedure to be necessary, the check will not be carried out.The User shall ensure that the claim can be collected via the credit card.
