CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IS NOT STORED ONLINE ***

Depending on your level of understanding of how the Internet
works, you may not understand what we mean when we say that we
are using a "secure server." Without getting too technical,
if you are using Netscape or Microsoft Explorer versions 2.0
or later, your browser supports Netscape SSL encryption. This
means that, when on pages that are designated as secure, data
passed from you to the server (such as credit card information) is
encrypted, or encoded.
While it may be possible for someone to intercept the data transmission
and "decode" it, you are more likely to be struck by
lightning or win the lottery. In fact, your credit card is exposed
to greater risk when you use it at a restaurant, or any other
place where someone has access to your credit card information.
And, in the rare event that someone did get your credit card
number, all major credit card companies now offer risk-free
Internet shopping protection:
Security methods are constantly being improved upon, making
it progressively more difficult to "break the codes." We
will keep up with the technology, to ensure that your information
is handled as securely as possible at all times. As you can see,
using your credit card on-line is a safe and effective way to
pay for on-line purchases. We hope this explanation was helpful,
and we look forward to serving you.
If you choose not to use your credit card on-line, you can go
to our Ordering Information Page,
to find out about several alternative ordering methods designed
for your convenience.
