The Services accept certain methods of payment which will be indicated at the time of purchase as forms of payment subject to certain restrictions, including territory restrictions, bank/payment card restrictions, spending limits, third party service provider restrictions or otherwise, which may prevent the processing of your order. If a transaction has been declined online due to payment card issues, please ensure all data is correct and resubmit.

If a payment card company is being used for a transaction, The Player Tour may obtain a pre­approval from the applicable payment card company for an amount up to the amount of the order. All purchases are final once you click the “Submit” or similar button/link and billing to your payment card occurs at such time or shortly thereafter.
