|  How do you secure my payments?
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions on our site.
Our payment area is secured using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL). You’ll know when you enter this area because the small yellow padlock appears in the bottom right hand corner of your browser. The other indication is in the address bar. When you enter the secure area of the site, the background of the address bar will turn dark yellow. You’ll also notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (the ‘s’ standing for ‘Secure’).
Test: Click here to switch to this site's secure area, then double click padlock at the bottom of the page to verify.
What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure. This system is used by literally millions of websites worldwide to secure internet transactions between the server and the customer.
In order to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock in the information tool bar), a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
How do I know you are a legitimate organization?
Our SSL certificates are provided by Comodo, a Web Trust compliant certificate authority. This is a mouthfull, but it means that Comodo's business follows the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines, audited by KPMG - a global firm, specialized in Audit, Tax and Advisory services. .
To qualify for a High Assurance SSL Certificate, we had to prove not only that we own this web domain, but also that we are a legally accountable company. We believe that only by offering this maximum level of security, customers can have peace of mind when buying online.
However: if you still do not feel confident about using your credit/debit card for online purchases, select one of the other payment options. Click here for Payment Methods information
