Preventing Credit Card Fraud
We have joined with CyberSource and other Internet merchants in an industry initiative called the "Protected Buy" program. This program protects consumers in three ways:
- Allows you to identify and choose to do business with sites that adhere to the highest security standards for Internet transactions
- Assures you that steps have been taken to deter the use of your payment card information at this site, and other member sites, if it should ever be lost or stolen
- Assures you will be provided with clear resolution procedures in the unlikely event you are ever declined for an online purchase
To afford you continued shopping convenience and ensure the ongoing health of our business we use CyberSource Internet Fraud Screen enhanced by Visa. This service helps detect high risk transactions and prevent credit card fraud before it happens-with negligible impact on legitimate purchases. Using this service we are able to identify high risk transactions and decide in a fair and timely way whether or not to continue processing the order. This service helps to protect you from unauthorized use of your payment information at all "Protected Buy" member sites.
Privacy

When placing an order, we ask you to provide information on-line including your name, mailing address, e-mail address and credit card information. All information is stored on a highly secured server that is not accessible through the internet.

We do not sell or rent our list of customers to anyone, without their permission.
You acknowledge and agree that we may sell your information to any successor company acquiring all or substantially all of our assets.
With your permission, we may notify you from time to time of special offers and/or send you on-line information that may be of interest to you.
