Transaction Security
The information you are viewing at present,
along with the other pages in the SignatureShirts shop, is being served
from a normal web server.
When you click on ‘Order Now’’, your basket will appear
which is not secure since it contains no sensitive information. Only after
you have confirmed your agreement to the Conditions of Sale, will secure
pages be in use (cutting down on website download times).
You will be taken to the WorldPay secure server (a wholly owned subsidiary
of Royal Bank of Scotland) and asked to fill in your name, address and
credit card details. After confirming the order your transaction is carried
out and authorised through the banking network. In reality, payment through a secure payment service provider like WorldPay
is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted
over the telephone or fax. Information transmitted is encrypted using complicated
logarithm combinations, unlike these other methods that use standard medium
coding.
Further protection is provided because card
issuers protect cardholders from fraudulent use of their card in a “card not present” environment,
such as over the Internet. As the shopper did not sign for the goods, they
have the absolute right to demand a charge-back if those goods did not
arrive or the card was used fraudulently.
