Is Shopping at Alternative Security Systems, LTD Safe?

secure server. Our secure server utilizes FreeSSL Secure Server Software (SSL) technology, which encrypts your personal and financial information
before it is sent to us, making your information indecipherable while in transit over the Internet. Additionally, all information we collect from
our users is protected from unauthorized access in a secure location.
To be sure you are browsing secure pages, check the bottom of the web
page for the icon of a closed padlock. This icon appears in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator to tell you that your
information is protected. Also, all browsers display an "s" after the "http" in the Web site address to indicate that you're in a secure
environment.
Once your personal information is received and processed, it is stored in a secure manner and is only accessible by authorized
personnel.
Credit Card Security
Your web browser and our server encrypt confidential information during transmission. This
ensures that all transactions stay private and protected. Using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology, credit card and other
information is encoded prior to Internet transmission. Our SSL certificate ensures that order information is sent to Alternative Security Systems,
LTD and that the information has not been tampered with during transmission. This configuration makes eavesdropping on credit card transactions
almost impossible.
Our secure order form is accessible to visitors using all recent browsers, including the latest versions of Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator or Firefox.
Every transaction that is encrypted and uses our secure servers is guaranteed to be safe.
If your credit card information is stolen because you used your credit card to place an order at Alternative Security Systems, LTD, we will make
sure that you do not have to pay any fraudulent charges made to your account, provided that the following steps have been followed:
Before submitting credit card information, please verify that your browser has successfully connected to the secure server (indicated by a
lock or key icon in the browser). Refer to your browser's instructions for more information about its security features.
You must notify
your credit card company in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures. Consumer protection laws exist to protect you against the
unauthorized use of your credit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, for example, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of
fraudulent charges on your account.
If your credit card company holds you liable for any part of this $50, then Alternative Security Systems,
LTD will cover such liability for you, up to the full $50, provided that such unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of
your own and because you used your credit card to place an online order through Alternative Security Systems, LTD while using a secure server.

Verisign operates under its own set of Privacy and Security Guidelines.
