ODS accepts only US currency. Seven basic types of payment methods are currently available: Credit Cards Online, Credit Cards via Phone, Prepay with Checks, Purchase Orders, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), Letters of Credit and approved COD payments (U.S. domestic only).

Purchase Orders (PO) are allowed only from government agencies, schools, and Fortune 1000 companies that are authorized and verified. omnidatasys.net does not issue net-terms to resellers.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. We do not charge "surcharges" for credit card transactions. Please read the Privacy and Security Statement for more details on secure credit card usage on the net.

Credit card payment must be verified prior to authorization. You will be informed as soon as possible if your credit card is declined. If declined, you may check the accuracy of the credit card number and expiration date, or choose a different card to try. Your order will NOT be sent unless the credit card number you entered is authorized.

Once accepted, the authorization process allocates the total amount of the order + 10% extra for this transaction, which does NOT mean that your credit card has been charged yet. The 10% extra is reserved just in case you need to add items or make other adjustments to your order. We'll examine each order and make adjustments if necessary before charging your credit card. The actual amount charged can be smaller than the total amount.

You must provide us with a working phone number in order for us to contact you to confirm your order and in case of problems with your order. omnidatasys.net is very aggressive in getting law enforcement involved in cases of obvious credit card fraud.

If you do not feel comfortable transmitting your credit card number and other information on the Internet, we suggest you place an order online. Choose "Credit Card via Phone" as the payment method, and then phone in to give us your credit card number over the phone. We'll charge your credit card manually.

Pre-payment with cashier's check or money order is accepted. You can place the order online, select "Prepay w/ cashier's check" as payment method, get an order number and order confirmation for the total amount of your order, including freight charges. Then obtain a cashier's check or money order from a U.S.-affiliated bank for the exact amount and mail the check with a copy of the order sheet to us.

Company checks drawn on U.S.-affiliated banks are accepted, but items will not be shipped until checks are cleared from bank. We do not accept personal checks.

Orders electing this Prepay method are not confirmed for order production until payment is received. Depending on the lead-time status code of your ordered Product, ODS will expedite your Order for shipment after the proper check is received. Unless notified, your order will be automatically canceled if we do not receive your payment within 10 business days of Order placement.
