Section 7: Payment Security
To ensure the security of your payments, Macon&Lesquoy uses the “PayPal” interface, a standalone-credit-card payment solution. With this system, the online payment, via credit card or via a Paypal account, will be made directly on PayPal’s secured server for Macon&Lesquoy’s account. The Customer shall also read and approve the general terms and conditions of PayPal.
To carry out a payment by CB, VISA or MASTERCARD credit card: via our banking partner SOCIETE GENERALE and the SOGENACTIF platform, representative of the Groupement des Cartes Bancaires CB (“GIE CB”), Macon&Lesquoy subscribe to the secure distance payment system for purchases by “CB” or CB-approved cards.
The safety of SOGENACTIF is based on the use of the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system. This technology, which uses an encryption key, is the most used protocol in the world (more than 80% of online merchants trust SSL for their online transactions).
It is compatible with almost all browsers.
Its role essentially consists in:
- The sealing of the information about the transaction between our Website and our Customer, without the Customer having to upload or activate any additional software;
- The encrypted transport of our Customer’s card number to the payment server;
- The secure storage of the transaction and payment data on the SOGENACTIF payment server;
- A systematic authorization request with immediate blocking of the transaction if it emanates of a nonexistent card, or a card that has been reported lost or stolen by the carrier to his/her bank.
Moreover, like any bank the Société Générale is submitted to the PCI-DSS (“Payment Card Industry – Data Security System”) program.
This program lays down standard rules aimed at ensuring the security of transaction data on the Internet, for all the actors of the electronic trade. It aims at reinforcing data security online, notably to prevent the theft of files holding card numbers.
Lastly, through this subscription, Macon&Lesquoy signs up to the 3D-secure program, a security mechanism strengthening the identification of credit card recipients in France for online payment (example: the Customer receives a text message with a code he/she uses to finalize his/her purchase). This device ensures the online Customer his payment card isn’t used without his/her knowledge and ensures the merchant’s bank it won’t suffer an outstanding debt for contestation of the card holder, provided he/she was authenticated by his/her bank at the time of the purchase.
Section 8: Shipping

The Customer shall confirm by email if he/she chooses to either wait for the Good to be available, or ask for a refund, to the exclusion of all damages.
A delay in delivery cannot bring about any type of deduction, penalty, compensation or restitution.
