The information you are viewing at present, along with the
other pages in the SignatureOfficeGifts 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.
