| YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IS SECURE! |
|
| We care about the safety and security of your transaction. Wine Country Gift Baskets® Web Site uses EV-SSL (Extended Validation Secure Sockets Layer) to communicate with your browser software when you order from us online and thereby provide us with credit card or similar information. SSL is the industry standard security protocol; and EV-SSL is the ultimate verification that you are doing business with who the website claims to be, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept your credit card / transaction and order information that you send us when you submit your online order. Please visit VeriSign for further details regarding EV-SSL certificates. |
|
| We take multiple precautions to safeguard your credit card data in our internal systems. Please see our CyberTrust certification for further information regarding our measures to ensure your transaction with Wine Country Gift Baskets® is completely safe and secure. |
|
| Portions of the web site (such as our customer log-in and address book) may require registration and log-in processes during which you will select a user ID and password. Passwords provided to you by us are the confidential property of Wine Country Gift Baskets® and may be used by you solely for your individual use of our web site. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password and for all activities that occur using your password, whether or not authorized by you.

|
| BANK OR CREDIT CARD LIABILITY |
|
| Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on a credit card. Your liability for unauthorized use of a debit card may be higher, but most debit card issuers voluntarily apply the $50 limit to their cards as well. |
|
| If unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does occur, you must notify your card provider, in accordance with the agreement you have with the company. |
