All sensitive information (credit cards, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) is encrypted for transfer to our server. It won't be able to be intercepted and decrypted because the key resides only on our network servers.

We accept most major credit cards and debit cards with the Visa and Mastercard logos. Your credit card is billed when the item is ordered.

Your card will be charged when your order is placed. Our secure server is the best - and safest - way to shop, but we will also take your order by phone or email. We do not accept personal checks, sorry. We do not offer an installment or a layaway plan online, nor do we ship COD.

When ordering, you will create a personal account. Through this account, you provide certain types of information such as physical address, telephone number, email address, credit card number and expiration date. Without this information, an order cannot be shipped and/or billed. An email may be sent to you, or a phone call made if there is any trouble processing your order. We use various shipping companies to deliver your order, and a credit card processing company to bill you for those goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store nor use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We will not sell, share, nor rent information to any third party marketer without your express knowledge and consent as outlined in this statement. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. At that time, information may be shared with the parent, subsidiary or merger partner involved in the transaction.
