Security

• For your protection, we use a Secure Socket Layer Protocol for transmission of all information when you use our secure checkout. We are listed by Dun and Bradstreet, and our site is certified by Thawte. After you press the Checkout Button below the shopping cart, look for the padlock either at the top or bottom of your browser window. You will see that it is "locked" when you enter our secure checkout. If you double click on the padlock, you will get even more security information.
