Credit Card purchases on the web seem to worry some people. This is why we went to the extra work and expense to give you a SECURE SITE. When you go to our STORE and make your choices to purchase you are in a totally safe situation.

You enter your credit card number in the privacy of your own home or business. The information is transferred over secure line directly to the bank for approval and deposit. You are then sent a receipt on your e-mail saying that your order is approved and your product will be shipped.

Some worry that a hacker will break the code and steal the card number. Each transaction is encrypted differently so it would not be possible to break each code in time to steal.

Think about what we do everyday! We hand our card with our signature over to a server in a restaurant where they leave our view and are gone for many minutes. During this time, they not only have your number, name, and expiration date, but they could also copy your signature. How often do

your give your card number and expiration date out over the phone. Remember how you buy airline tickets, purchase from a catalog, pay for a newspaper ad. Everything else you do with your card is more dangerous than your fears about the Web.
