Secure Online Ordering
We have gone to great lengths to protect the
security and validity of your credit card transaction. Our order forms are
encrypted by our secure server to guarantee that the information can be read by
us only. It will appear as indecipherable gibberish if the data is intercepted
by an unauthorized source.
We use the process developed by Netscape SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) to guard information. SSL is the industry standard for online
security. Today's web browsers support this protocol, including Netscape
Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer and others.
Before a business can use SSL, it must be certified by an independent authority.
This trusted third party will determine if the business is legitimate. VeriSign,
one of the largest such companies in the world, certified us.
How to Tell It's Secure
There are a couple of ways to tell if the information you are receiving is
coming from a secure server.
1. Check the security icon. Most browsers use a key (Netscape Navigator) or
padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer). An unbroken emblem indicates a secure
browser.
2. Check the URL field of your browser. With a secured server the address will
begin with https:// instead of the usual http://.
