3. Secure Checkout Statement
Your security is our highest priority. Arc Line Mobility has implemented industry-standard security measures to protect your payment information throughout the transaction process.
3.1 PCI DSS Compliance
Arc Line Mobility complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0.1, which went into effect in April 2025 . As an ecommerce merchant, we have fully outsourced our payment card processing operations to PCI DSS-compliant third-party payment processors .
We do not electronically store, process, or transmit any payment card data on our own systems or premises . All payment information is securely collected and processed by our PCI DSS-compliant payment partners, which significantly reduces security risks to your data.
3.2 Encryption Technology
Our checkout process uses 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your personal and payment information during transmission. When you see a lock icon in your browser’s address bar, you can be assured that your data is encrypted and secure.
3.3 Embedded Payment Processing
Our website uses secure inline frames (iframes) to display payment forms that are hosted and maintained by our PCI DSS-compliant payment processors . This means that when you enter your payment information, you are interacting directly with our payment partners’ secure systems, not with Arc Line Mobility’s servers.
These payment pages are protected against malicious scripts targeting payment card data through techniques that permit only authorized scripts to run and alert us to unauthorized changes .
4. Payment Authorization
4.1 Your Authorization
When you provide payment information to complete a purchase, you represent and warrant that :
-
You have the legal right to use the payment method you have selected
-
The payment information you provide is accurate, current, and complete
-
You authorize Arc Line Mobility (or our third-party payment processors) to charge the full amount of your order, including all applicable taxes, shipping fees, and any other charges clearly disclosed at checkout
4.2 Pre-Authorization Holds
When you place an order, we may request a pre-authorization hold on your payment method to verify that sufficient funds are available and to prevent fraud. This hold is temporary and will be released according to your financial institution’s policies, typically within 3-5 business days. The actual charge will not be processed until your order is prepared for shipment .
4.3 Order Verification
To ensure that charges to customers’ credit cards, debit cards, and other accounts are properly authorized, as required by the FTC, we may take steps to verify your identity and payment method before processing your order . These steps may include:
-
Verifying your billing address with your card issuer through Address Verification Service (AVS)
-
Requiring the Card Verification Value (CVV) code from your card, which helps ensure you have physical access to the card
-
Contacting you directly to confirm order details for high-value purchases
-
Requesting additional documentation for orders that trigger our fraud prevention protocols
5. Billing Verification Policy
5.1 Address Verification Service (AVS)
We use AVS to compare the billing address you provide with the address on file with your card issuer. Mismatches may indicate possible stolen card use and can result in your order being flagged for additional review or cancellation .
5.2 CVV Verification
Requiring the CVV (the three- or four-digit security code on your card) ensures that the buyer has physical access to the card. This is a standard security measure against card-not-present fraud .
5.3 Failed Verification
If your payment information cannot be successfully verified, we may:
-
Contact you to request additional information
-
Place your order on hold pending manual review
-
Cancel your order and notify you of the cancellation
Orders that cannot be successfully verified may be canceled to protect both you and Arc Line Mobility from fraudulent transactions.
6. Fraud Prevention Measures
Arc Line Mobility employs a multi-layered approach to fraud prevention, combining advanced technology with manual review processes .
6.1 Fraud Detection Methods
We utilize the following fraud detection techniques to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions :
| Detection Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Behavioral Analysis | Monitors user actions for unusual patterns, such as rapid clicks or abnormal cart additions |
| Device Fingerprinting | Identifies unique device characteristics to detect suspicious activity across multiple accounts |
| Geolocation and IP Analysis | Compares IP addresses with billing and shipping details to identify mismatches or high-risk locations |
| Velocity Checks | Flags multiple orders from the same card or IP address in a short time period, which can indicate card testing |
| Machine Learning Scoring | Assigns risk scores in real-time based on transaction patterns and historical data |
| Bot Detection Tools | Identifies and blocks automated scripts attempting to test stolen card data |
6.2 Warning Signs We Monitor
Our fraud prevention systems are designed to detect red flags including :
-
Mismatched billing and shipping addresses
-
High-velocity transactions (multiple rapid orders)
-
IP addresses from unusual locations or using proxies/VPNs
-
Multiple failed payment attempts
-
Suspicious email addresses (random strings or temporary email accounts)
-
Large or bulk orders from new or inactive accounts
-
Device or browser inconsistencies
-
Unusual shopping behavior patterns
6.3 Manual Review Process
Orders flagged by our automated systems may be subject to manual review by our fraud prevention team. During this process, we may:
-
Contact you by phone or email to verify your identity and order details
-
Request additional documentation, such as a copy of your government-issued ID or a recent utility bill
-
Place your order on hold pending successful verification
High-value or unusual orders are reviewed before approval to minimize false positives while maintaining security .
6.4 Fraudulent Transactions
If we suspect fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to :
-
Cancel the order immediately
-
Report the activity to relevant authorities and payment card networks
-
Share information with payment processors and law enforcement as necessary
-
Block future transactions from the same payment method, IP address, or device
7. Payment Processing Timeline
7.1 When Your Card Is Charged
Your payment method will be charged at the time your order is placed, but the actual capture of funds typically occurs when your order is prepared for shipment. This is standard practice for ecommerce merchants and helps us verify inventory availability before completing the transaction.
7.2 Order Confirmation
After successfully placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your order. This email does not constitute acceptance of your order but confirms that we have received your payment information and begun processing .
7.3 Shipping Confirmation
When your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email. At this point, your payment is finalized and the transaction is complete.
