j) For the new customers Areadocks srl requires its own bank to contact the counterparty bank to verify the transaction, before the actual charge on the customer’s credit card. Such verification could cause some delay in the shipment of the first order. Payments made through the PayPal system with a verified account do not suffer delays for banking verification.
k) Areadocks srl reserves the right to require customers with the shipment of the goods in the same State of the invoicing of the goods.
