Question: Is it safe to use a credit card over the Internet?

Answer:

We recognise that many people remain unconvinced about the safety of using a credit card on the Internet. That's why we utilise the leading standards in secure commerce and encryption technology.

Security is a top priority for us. We take every precaution to ensure that the private information you provide during a transaction remains secure. The safety of your credit card is a concern we share with you. Our sites use SSL (Secure Socket Layer), the industry standard and the most advanced security software currently available for online transactions. It (SSL) encrypts all personal details, including credit card number, name and address, so that they cannot be read as sent over the Internet. Both Microsoft® Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator show a padlock in the status bar at the bottom of the browser to confirm that a transaction is secure.

The lock indicator is only enabled for sites that do not use frames.

• To ensure a secure transaction within Internet Explorer using frames, right-click within the transaction window, choose "Properties", and click on the "Certificate" button.
• To ensure that your transaction is taking place on a secure server in Netscape using frames, right-click within the transaction window, choose "View Frame Info," and read the "Security" description.
