We use the latest
technology to protect your credit card information and do not release
it to any outside organization. You can place your orders using Netscape's
SSL encryption (the Internet standard for secure transactions) or you
can telephone, fax or email your card information to us.
As reported in a recent Knight-Ridder News Service article (which appeared
in the Philadelphia Inquirer), "In 1997, there were no reports
of credit-card information stolen on the World Wide Web during a transfer
of information over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) line, the kind of line
used by Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer. There were no slip-ups.
None."
We are committed
to protecting your privacy. This means that we will not distribute,
sell or rent your name or personal information about you to any third
party.
However, we must
cooperate fully should a situation arise where we are required by law
or legal process to provide information about a customer.
We cannot guarantee
that a product listed as "In stock" will actually ship right
away, as inventory can change significantly from day to day. In rare
cases, a title may be in stock when you place your order, and sold out
by the time your order is processed. Should there be any difficlty,
we will Email you or contact you by phone to discuss alternative arrangements.
Backorders
(out of stock items)
Backordered merchandise
includes items that are not currently in stock. In most cases, these
items are on order from the manufacturers. In some cases, we are awaiting
or researching stock information from one or more of our suppliers.
When we receive the product, we notify you via email and ship it to
you promptly.
If for any reason
we determine that a backordered item will no longer be available at
all, we notify you immediately by email, cancel the item from your order
and delete the item from our catalog.
Note: we never charge your credit card until the item ships;
therefore, no adjustment will need to be made to your credit card upon
order cancellation. If payment was made by cheque or money order, your
credit will be placed in your Myshop account and will be automatically
applied to your next order. If you prefer a cheque refund, you may request
one by Contacting us.
