To ensure the safety of our customers, we use only reputable, certified firms to ensure secure transactions.

Our site is made secure through 128-bit encryption, the most secure technology available today, through security gateway Plugnpay, a privately held firm that designed its transaction programs specifically for online sales and was one of the first firms to offer this kind of service as its only business. Recently it was also one of the first secure gateways to complete the MasterCard Risk Assessment Management Program, a mandated security audit.

(For your own safety, please do make sure your browser is up-to-date. We understand that older browsers may only support lower levels of encryption.)

For your credit card transactions, we use NOVA Information Systems, the third largest merchant processor in the United States. NOVA has contracts with more than 650,000 merchant locations and processed more than 700,000,000 transactions in 2002.
