Providing any untruthful or inaccurate information is a breach of these Terms of Use and may result in cancellation of your order or bill payment. Prior to accepting an order or facilitating online bill payment, we may also request additional information from you.
Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase or online bill payment transaction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order or online bill payment transaction for any reason, including not limited to inaccuracies or errors in service or pricing information, or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance department.

We will attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order or online bill payment transaction is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order.
We may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We do this to ensure that the card details are still valid and that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
