Secure Orders at TOOLRAGE.COM
TOOLRAGE understands
your concerns over Internet security. Because we share your concerns, we've
worked diligently to develop a highly secure online ordering process – one
that lets you shop and order with confidence. And we offer a Secure Order
Guarantee that gives you 100% protection for your credit card transactions
at TOOLRAGE.COM. The result is a Web site that offers you the high level of
service, convenience and trustworthiness our customers have come to expect
from us during our 20-year history.
Ordering from TOOLRAGE.COM
is completely safe. We wouldn't do business any other way.
Secure
Order Guarantee
We guarantee that
your credit card information will be safe when you place an order at TOOLRAGE.COM.
Our Secure Order Guarantee means that you'll never have to pay any money related
to unauthorized charges to your credit card account, if those charges result
from a transaction at TOOLRAGE.COM. Bottom line: You're always protected when
you shop at our site.
Here's how the guarantee
works: If you're ever a victim of credit card fraud, the Fair Credit Act specifies
that your credit card company can hold you liable for no more than $50 in
fraudulent charges to your account. With the Secure Order Guarantee, you'll
be reimbursed for any amount up to $50 billed to you by your credit card company
for unauthorized charges to your account, if those charges result from a security
issue with our secure server. For this protection, you must promptly notify
your credit card company of any fraudulent charges and follow the procedures
for doing so as outlined in your credit card agreement. Your credit card is
safe at TOOLRAGE.COM – guaranteed.
The Secure
Order Process
Using a secure server,
in conjunction with features built into popular browser software, our site
provides advanced security for your online purchases. The following section
describes how the secure order process works, from start to finish.
1 - Starting Your
Order
Every purchase at TOOLRAGE.COM is secure, and clicking a Checkout button on
the Shopping Cart page is all it takes to get started. The security features
are automatic; you don't need to do anything special to invoke them.
2 - Making a Positive ID
Once you've clicked the Secure Checkout button, your browser looks for a digital
certificate to confirm that it is communicating with TOOLRAGE.COM. Once a positive
ID is made, your order continues. We use digital certificates to verify your
order. For your security, the verification process happens in the background
every time you place an order on our site.
3 - Entering Secure Mode
Next, your computer and our server begin communicating in secure mode, sending
data back and forth in an encrypted format. At this point you may see a window
similar to the one below, which some browsers display when you are about to
receive a secure document.
It's fine to click "OK" (or "Continue")
to proceed – it simply means that you will begin receiving pages in a highly
secure encrypted format. After your browser has entered secure mode, we'll ask
you to enter your credit card information. The encryption features of browser
software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the security of this data as
it is transmitted to our server. Our site makes use of the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protocol and 128-bit strong encryption to provide the highest level of
security available.
4 - My Order Is Complete
What Happens Next? Security measures continue even after you've placed your
order, as we process your order in a highly secure computing environment.
A Note About
Older Web Browsers
f you use one of the
following Web browsers, you may encounter a security warning when you visit
a secure page at any Web site after December 31, 1999:
- Netscape Communicator 4.05
or earlier
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
4.01 for Macintosh
The warning is generated
in error and is caused by a software problem in these browsers. The problem
does not affect the security of your connection to our site.
Security:
Watching It Work
The most popular Web
browsers, Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator (aka Navigator), use
clear visual symbols to let you know whether or not they are in secure mode.
The symbols are displayed either at the bottom left or bottom right of your
browser window. You can refer to the following chart to see which symbols
are used with your browser:
|
Browser
|
Standard
(Non-Secure) Symbol
|
Secure
Symbol
|
Internet Explorer
(all versions) |
No Symbol
|
|
| Netscape 1.x, 2.x, 3.x |
|
|
| Netscape 4.x |
|
|
Another indication
that a browser is in secure mode can be found in the Web site address that
your browser displays. The address will begin "http://" in standard, non-secure
mode and "https://" in secure mode. The "s" stands for "secure."
Tip:
Continuing to Browse
Once your order is complete, it's perfectly safe for you to continue to browse
our site in standard mode. In fact, once you exit the ordering process, your
browser will automatically revert to this slightly faster mode of communication.
What If
I Make a Purchase with a Browser That Doesn't Support Security?
You can't. Because we don't want you ever to have to worry about ordering
from our site without a secure connection, we've designed our system so that
it will process orders only with browsers that support secure mode. Please
note that the latest versions of Netscape's and Microsoft's browsers have
security features, and both are free for downloading. Visit either company's
Web site for details.
