Depending on the payment method, this may include:

12. Payment Verification
To protect customers and reduce unauthorized transactions, an order may be subject to reasonable payment or fraud verification.
If an order cannot be verified, we may delay fulfillment while reviewing the transaction or cancel the order when reasonably necessary.
If an order is canceled after payment has been collected, the applicable amount will be refunded to the original payment method.
13. Duplicate Charges
If you believe you have been charged more than once for the same Cykels order, contact:
Please provide:
- Your full name.
- Order number.
- Transaction date.
- Amount in question.
For your security, do not send complete card numbers or card security codes by email.
We will review the order and available transaction records.
14. Failed or Pending Transactions
A payment may occasionally appear as pending even when an order has not been successfully completed.
Pending authorization periods are generally controlled by the customer's bank or payment provider.
If an order was not completed but a pending authorization remains visible, the bank or payment provider may automatically release it according to its own processing timeframe.
For questions about the release of a pending authorization, customers may need to contact their financial institution.
15. Order Cancellation and Payments
If an order is successfully canceled before shipment and payment has already been collected, the applicable refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Cykels charges:
Cancellation fee: $0.00

17. Refund Payment Method
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
We do not normally redirect a refund to a different card, account, or payment method.
