Shipping costs may be modified anytime without notice. This change will be applicable at the time the modification is included in the Help page or in the agreement published on this website. In any case, the valid shipping costs will be those that appear in the website at the time the order is placed.

Prices may change anytime, but (unless above provided) these possible changes will not prejudice the orders from which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.
Once you have selected all the items you wish to buy, they will be added to the basket and the next step will be processing the order and making the payment effective. To do so, you will have to follow the purchasing process steps, filling and checking the information that you are asked for in each step.
Furthermore, before making the payment in the purchasing process, you will be able to modify your order data. Besides, if you are a registered customer, you have access to all the detailed order in the section called ‘My Account’.

For payment by Visa and MasterCard, MAÁ shoes only accepts SET transactions (Secure Electronic Transactions) using the 3D Secure international protocol, which can be identified by the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode and American Express Safekey logos. The basic goal of the initiative of Secure Electronic Transactions initiative is to guarantee the security of transactions through Internet. When making payments through the secure payment gateway, the system will automatically check whether the credit card is activated for Secure Electronic Transactions. Afterwards, it will connect with the issuing bank of the card, which will request authorization for the operation by a personal authentication code.
This transaction will only be effective if the issuing bank of the credit card confirms the authentication code. Otherwise, the transaction will be rejected. We also have the GeoTrust SSL safety certificate for online transactions.
As a complementary measure to the ‘Secure Payment’ system and with the aim of collaborating in the prevention of fraud through the Internet, MAÁ shoes reserves the right to verify the personal data provided by the customer, as well as to take any necessary measures (including the cancellation of the order) in order to ensure that goods are dispatched in accordance with the data that is stated on the order.
