2. When entering your credit card we require that you also enter the 3 or 4 digit security code of the card being used in addition to account number and expiration date.

3. Part of our credit card approval process involves name and address verification. Should this information not completely match the order may be processed.

4. In cases where the name and address do not match or when an alternate address is required for shipping we may elect to utilize the services of ISS to perform additional verification. In most cases this will simply involve using the custoners last 4 digits of the social security number to show identity. This is done to protect our customers from unauthorized use of their cards. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes today.

5. We also log the IP address being used for each order. This is a unique address that everyone on the internet has while on line. A user can be traced based on this number and the time of the transaction. Should a fraudulent charged be attempted we will report this information directly to the Secret Service and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

6. We do not store our customers credit card numbers in our on line database. Once a transaction has been completed the credit card number is deleted. Repeat customers will need to reenter their cards on each subsequent order.

7. We do not sell the personal information of our customers to anyone.
