Security
Our Commitment to Data Security
We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security safeguards to
protect and secure the information we collect.
Secure Sockets Layering (SSL)
Our website uses Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to encrypt your personal credit
information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the
Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online
transactions. Because we use SSL, placing an order online at our website is
just as safe as giving your credit card number over the phone.
Safe Shopping Guarantee
Our security measures are designed to prevent anyone from stealing and using
your credit card number. In addition, consumer protection laws protect you
against the unauthorized use of your credit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing
Act, if your credit card is used without your authorization, your liability for
those fraudulent charges cannot exceed $50. So, if someone steals your credit
card or your credit card number, your liability is limited to $50 no matter how
much the thief charges to your account. If your credit card provider does hold
you liable for any part of this $50, we will cover the entire liability for
you, up to the full $50.
We will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card
resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at our website while
using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card,
you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting
rules and procedures.
