SECURITY

Your transactions are supported by industry-standard data encryption.  If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 2.1 or higher, or Netscape Navigator Version 2.0 or higher), the information you send us regarding any purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted.  Our site uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name and address as well as critically sensitive information like your credit card number.  If you are concerned about the privacy of your credit card information, we encourage you to submit your order electronically without a credit card number and a sales representative will contact you to obtain this information.  Or, you can submit your personal information via the Internet and contact us via phone or fax to complete your order.
