Security Policy
We have taken every measure to ensure that online shopping in our store is

Once you enter the Checkout process (when you are ready to purchase the
items you have put into your shopping cart), your connection becomes secure.
To confirm this, look at the top part of your browser window. If you see a
closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure that your

You can also ensure security by checking the URL line of your browser. When
you enter the secure area of our site,
the first characters of the site address will change from "http"
