| Secured Socket Layer (SSL) |
| To ensure the security of your information, our site uses "Secured Socket Layer (SSL)." SSL is one of the most sophisticated programs available used to encrypt data as it is sent across the Internet. Websites spend effort and money to provide you with this level of security. The bank that we deal with, requires that this SSL be in place and that our personal background is above reproach before we are allowed to accept your payment. |

| Regarding Online Shopping |
| Shoppers have come to love the ease and convenience of shopping online. New advancements in security are making the experience as safe as placing orders over the telephone. For example, it is technologically easier for a thief to steal your credit card information by either tapping your phone line or stealing the information from the carbon copy of your receipt than it is to steal similar information from our online transactions.
Additionally, federal law protects online transactions handled by credit cards -- you are protected from fraudulent charges by law. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. |
