Security
When you register details with us, make an order or access account details, we use a secure server. Any data you give us is encrypted using a 'Secure Socket Layer' (SSL) session. SSL is an industry standard and is one of the best ways to ensure Internet messages are not intercepted.
When using a secure connection a small padlock will be displayed in the bottom right hand corner of your browser when you reach our checkout page.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure - Fraud Protection
In addition to our secure website we were also the first to implement the Visa and MasterCard anti fraud protections schemes in our industry. If your credit card issuer participates in the scheme you will be asked for your online password to verify your transaction.
Don't worry if you have yet to register for this scheme. Your card issuer will either ask you to register during our checkout process or in another future transaction.
PCI
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is a complex and ever evolving subject affecting millions of businesses – acquiring banks, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), processors, hosts, shopping carts, e-commerce and retail merchants and other merchant services providers. This system now meets the strict guidelines set by the Payment Card industry and ensures our processes around the use of credit cards meets their strict requirements. Being PCI compliant is important as many payment gateways around the world now require compliance for those wishing to process payments in real-time on their websites.
