OTHER WEBSITES

Liability Protection For Unauthorized Use

While each financial institution in the United States that enters into a contract with you to provide you with a credit card does so on particular terms, your liability for unauthorized transactions is often similar across institutions.

In general, major banks will not hold you liable for any unauthorized use that you have not caused or contributed to.  We employ the highest possible security encryptions at all times.

Often, liability for unauthorized use is limited.  Of course, banks require you to notify them immediately if you become aware of the credit card being misused, lost or stolen so that they can limit their own liability under this policy. Be certain to check the terms and conditions, and your responsibilities, regarding your holding a credit card with your bank or credit card provider.

Still don’t want to use your credit card on the Internet?  We understand with cutting edge technology people are sometimes a little hesitant. No problem. Just email us your order so we can hold the goods for you and post us a check or money order.
