We do not accept any card transactions ourselves and have no visibility of your
card or details in respect of any payments you make on line. All our
online transactions are automatically redirectly to a mainstream bank or
accredited on-line payment organisations who process your credit card details
securely. Once you have made your payment we
receive an acknowledgement back confirming that the payment was successful and this contains no card details.
In the unlikely event of unauthorized use of your credit or debit card ,you must always notify your credit or debit card issuer
immediately.
As with credit cards, if you make your payment through PayPal your details are automatically routed to PayPal for processing by them. We again receive a confirmation back, once the payment has been made.
Because some people prefer to either deal directly with a human or prefer not to enter their card details on line at all, we have provided further options for making your purchase from us.
Once you have selected your goods, you can print your order form from our payments page, then simply fill in the form at the bottom of the order with your details and fax it back to us directly.
If you prefer to pay by cheque, or don’t have access to a fax machine, you can print your order and either include a cheque, money order or complete the card details on the form and return it to us by normal postage.
If you prefer to discuss your requirements with us before placing your order, or if you would rather make a credit card payment directly with a person over the telephone you can call us directly using the sales number on the web site selling the goods.
If you have any questions about your product options or having made your selection, you would prefer to confirm your order with us personally, simply select the email option from the payment screen. This will email your enquiry to us and an operator will call you back, answer any queries that you may have and take your payment details over the telephone when you are ready to proceed.
You should take all necessary steps to ensure that the password is kept confidential and secure and should inform us immediately if anyone else obtains these details from you. We will quickly change your account details preventing access and decline any orders received in the meantime It is up to you to maintain the confidentiality of your account and password and you agree to accept responsibility for all transactions that occur on your account.
This section describes our Privacy Policy and tells you how we protect any personal information you give us, why we require it and exactly what you can expect us to do when you chose privacy options or instruct us to remove your details from our database.
As a strict policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share your email address with any other company or third party. From time to time we may make portions of our customer mailing lists available to carefully screened companies. This may include your name and postal address, but never your email address.
In several areas of our site, we ask you to provide information by filling out and submitting an online registration form. You only ever need to complete this once as the details are held within our database, so that we know who you are when you return to the site in the future.
Your email address is used during the on-line order process to send you confirmations of any transactions you make and in the event
that you contact us for information, to allow us to email information back to you. You will only receive emails from us necessary to the processing of your order unless you specifically choose to subscribe to our
email program, mailing list or catalogue.
We never share your email address with any other organisation or person.
Your telephone contact details are required for two main reasons.
The first is to guard against fraudulent transactions. We regularly call people back on a land line number to confirm their order details as this helps to ensure that your details are correct and that fraudulent use isn’t being made of your card. It is a sad fact that card details do get stolen and used fraudulently. Generally these criminals use untraceable mobile telephone numbers to place their orders and do not give valid land line numbers (which can be traced by the police).
If you wish to use a different shipping address from your billing address, we must have a land line telephone number to contact you on, so that the transaction can be validated with you prior to the order being shipped.
We also like to be able to contact you if there is a difficulty with your order or delivery or in the event that our courier is unable
to locate your address.
We ask for several numbers so that we stand the best chance of being able to contact you should we need to.
We will never share your telephone number/s with any other organisation or person and we will only ever use the telephone ourselves to contact you regarding goods you have ordered the services we provide or occasionally to confirm your registration details.
We obviously need your billing and shipping details to be able to transact your order and deliver the product/s you require to your specified shipping address.
Your billing details help us to confirm that you are who you tell us you are. This address is also used to send any confirmation of your order with us and any payments you make.
We will never send any billing information with any package sent to a shipping address
if the address is different from the
registered billing one. This means that you can safely ask us to ship an item as a present for someone without them also receiving
any price or other ordering details.
If you use a separate shipping address, you must also supply us with at least one land line telephone numbers as we will validate
your instructions by telephone.
Please ensure that the details you provide us with are correct and complete and keep us informed of any changes to the information that you provided when registering. To help keep ourselves up-to-date, we may contact you to from time to time to confirm your details with us and to check that you wish to continue your registration.
You may of log in to our web site or contact us by phone , fax or email at any time and change your registered details.
Should you no longer wish us to hold your details you can mark your account deletion.
Marking your account for deletion will immediately indicate to us that we should not contact you and once all outstanding
transactions and liabilities have expired your details will be permanently removed from the database.
You can request us to delete your details by phone, fax or email.
