Your Transactions are Secure |
| Depending upon your browser, you may or may not see the LOCK symbol to signify you are on a secure server. This is because you are viewing the page in a "frame", which means you are viewing THREE pages at once. The contents page and the top banner page, of course, are not secure, since you are not entering information on them, however the main frame, where you enter your payment information, IS SECURE! |
To verify this, on any site, "right click" your mouse while you are in that frame. Look on the address bar (URL) and you will see "h t t p s :" which indicates a secure server. If you are using Netscape, "right click" your mouse while you are in that frame. Then choose "This Frame" and "View Frame Info". The "General" Tab will show "h t t p s :" which indicates a secure server. |

The "s" in the "https:" signifies you are on a secure socket layer. |

| For a more technical explanation of HTTPS: |
| HTTPS (Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
is a Web protocol built into a browser that encrypts and decrypts user
page requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web server.
When you order, you will be given a Web page
order form with a URL that starts with https://. When you click "Secure
Checkout," to send the page back to us, your browser's HTTPS layer
will encrypt it. The acknowledgement you receive from the server will
also travel in encrypted form, arrive with an https:// URL, and be
decrypted for you by your browser's HTTPS sublayer.
HTTPS and SSL support the use of digital certificates from the server so that, if necessary, you can authenticate the sender. We use VeriSign. You can check our Certificate from the Home Page by clicking on the VeriSign Logo. |
