Transaction Security

We electronically verify each transaction with the bank, processing only those orders if the bank so authorizes it. In the case of a suspicious or declined transaction, our company may contact you to confirm the validity and ensure your identity or cancel that order with full notification.

We work to protect your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input at 128-bit strength. SSL is often symbolized on most web-browsers by a small padlock appearing on the bottom bar of the window and the address of the window changing from http:// to https://, meaning a secure connection. If an order cannot be completed, please contact our Customer Service. If our Website cannot establish a secure connection, we will not risk your confidential information (it will not be transmitted).

 We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping suggestions, improving our store, and fulfilling your order.

*Emails: Email addresses we receive are used to contact you concerning inquiries before, during, and after your order is placed, solely concerning your order.
