Security
A. Encryption
We use industry standard encryption security measures to
protect the privacy and integrity of the information you provide to us once it
is received on our systems. We understand that using web site commerce can cause
concern.
Unfortunately, when you submit information about yourself to us
over the Internet, the information may travel over many systems that are not
under the control of this web site. While we try to protect the
information you provide us, we can not ensure the secrecy of any information
that you transmit to us. You transmit information to this web site at your own
risk.
Your purchase transactions with us are secure. They will always be encrypted
even when you may think they are not. No one will be able to see your order, or
your credit card number from our site. We can also assure you that we will not
use or sell the information that you place on the order form.
This web site's transaction frames are fully SSL encrypted. Encryption
ensures that transaction information is sent securely but has a significant
performance tradeoff in the browser environment. You may have noticed that the
This site employs a framed metaphor for easier navigation and more
efficient page updates. With this in mind we selectively places SSL
encryption on only those forms and frames that need to be encrypted (e.g., the
checkout). Since things like our product selectors and menus don't need to be
slowed down by SSL we do not employ it there.
Unfortunately (but for obvious reasons) browsers won't show the safe "KEY" or
"LOCK" unless each and every frame on the page is SSL encrypted. Thus, if only
one frame is encrypted, the browser correctly reports that not everything you
are looking at is "safe". However, the absence of the "lock" or "key" does not
mean that the information you are looking at is not encrypted.
You can verify that a frame is SSL encrypted by right-clicking within the
frame and looking at the frame info or properties (ie. Found in the "View" menu
in Netscape and the "File" menu in Internet Explorer). Doing this within
Our web site's checkout pages will indeed show that this information is
being sent encrypted.
B. Password
It is vital for you to protect your password and account information. You should
not share this information with anyone other than your employer. You retain sole
responsibility for maintaining the secrecy of your password or other account
information.
Acceptance of Terms
By using or visiting this site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood,
and agree to be bound by this Policy and the web site Terms of Use, both
now and in the future. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE BOUND BY THIS POLICY OR THE
TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE THIS SITE. We reserves the rights to change
or revise this Policy at any time in its sole discretion. You will be bound by
any such revisions so you should visit this page periodically to become familiar
with any such revisions.
