The Customer, by communicating his or her bank card information, authorises Baccarat to debit the Total Price from the bank card.

The Customer gives his or her bank advance authorization to debit the entries or statements transmitted by the payment module from his or her account, even in the absence of invoice signed by the cardholder. The Products ordered remain Baccarat's property until Baccarat has received the whole of the Prices.

If it is impossible to debit the Total Price, the Customer is asked to repeat the payment process. If the impossibility of debiting the Total Price is confirmed, the Online Sale will be immediately rescinded and the Order cancelled.
