We take website and credit card security extremely seriously and always use reasonable endeavours to provide a secure, safe platform from which to conduct online transactions.

We use the industry standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificate, sometimes referred to as an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, which encrypts information as it is transmitted over the internet. This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers, billing details and delivery addresses so that other computers should be unable to decipher the information, ensuring privacy and security.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and your computer. Ensure you sign out when you have finished visiting our websites especially if you have accessed the websites from a shared computer.
