information. Orders for which this information cannot be positively verified
will be declined by IPC but the authorized funds may be held by the card
issuing bank as per the issuing bank's rules and regulations.

us to verify the billing address of the account holder. If customer still uses
such cards unbeknownst to IPC the amount authorized may be held by the issuing
bank. IPC cannot release such authorized funds!
For new customers:
- We desire to protect customers from
fraudulent transactions; therefore, all orders placed within 45 business
days of setting up an account need to be shipped to the address recorded
with your credit card company as verified during the credit card
authorization during order placement.
- IPC verifies billing and shipping addresses
and contact phone numbers with credit card companies on all new accounts.
If the billing or shipping address or phone number on your inkgard.com
account differs from your credit card records, your order could be
declined. Therefore, please verify that your account information with IPC
and your credit card company is correct.
- Additionally, a first time order over the
amount of $500.00 is subject to our verification procedures and may delay
the processing of your order.
Hold authorizations
incurred due to incorrect address information or card code cannot be released!

you within two business days via e-mail and/or phone to verify your order.
