(A) Registration on the Website

Once registered, the system will generate a user name and password for each Buyer, to be used in future purchases.

Within the twenty four hours (24) after receiving the formalisation of an order by the Buyer, PASABAN shall send an email to the Buyer’s email address acknowledging receipt and confirming the purchase made. The Product order, and therefore the contract, shall be deemed to be formalised and made binding once PASABAN has received payment of the price. The contract shall be formalised in Spanish and PASABAN shall file the digital document in which the purchase is set out, which will be accessible in the section “My Account” of the Website.
(C) Payment of the Price
5.5. The Buyer shall make payment in cash through the payment gateway made available to him on the Website, by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Visa Electron credit card or debit card and/or other similar cards or by bank transfer, following the indications of PASABAN at all times.

The secure server establishes a connection so that the information is transferred encrypted using 128 bit algorithms, which ensures that it is only intelligible for the computers of the Buyer and the Website. This way, by using the SSL protocol, you are guaranteed: (i) that the Buyer is communicating his data to the PASABAN server centre and not to any other, and (ii) that all data is encrypted between the Buyer and the PASABAN server centre, thus preventing their possible reading or manipulation by third parties.
5.9. PASABAN does not have access to nor does it store sensitive data related to the payment method used by the Buyer. Only the corresponding entity processing the payment has access to that information, in order to process payments and collections. Once the purchasing process is complete, a digital document is generated which formalises the contract and which the Buyer can print and which will be saved in the section “My Account: My Orders”.
5.10. For its part, to ensure the security of its Buyers and the transactions they make through the Website, PASABAN informs its Buyers that in order to prevent any possible fraudulent transactions, it reserves the right to request information, confirmations and/or additional documents from Buyers, even if they have already made one or more purchases through the Website, by telephone call or email made or sent to the number or the account provided by the Buyer himself, for the purpose of confirming that such purchase(s) has effectively been made and authorised and/or that the delivery has taken place.
5.11. If the Buyer does not reply positively or does not provide PASABAN with the documentation and information requested within forty eight (48) hours following the telephone call or email, the transaction(s) detailed in that communication and the respective order(s) may be automatically cancelled, with no need for any subsequent notice or any liability for PASABAN regarding the Buyer’s security, and PASABAN will automatically reimburse the amount(s) paid by the Buyer for such purchase(s).
5.12. This is a security procedure that is accepted by the Buyer; by accepting these GCS he consents to being subject to the procedure for detecting any possible fraudulent operations as mentioned above, with no liability for PASABAN, and he also authorises PASABAN so that, once the Buyer has provided the additional information and documents in question, they may be used for future transactions that the same Buyer may make.
