encryption, but also protected by American Medical Depot's Secure
Shopping Guarantee.
Please
take a moment to read about the steps that we have taken to
help protect your information and make your online transmissions
safer. We also invite you to review the steps you can take to
help protect yourself further.
American
Medical Depot Secure Shopping Guarantee
The
American Medical Depot Secure Shopping Guarantee helps to cover
you against unauthorized charges on your credit card. Here are
the steps we take to help ensure that your purchase is safe
with us:
- Data
encryption. To help protect your credit card number and
personal information, we encrypt every order. Encryption
is a process by which we use software to scramble your credit
card number and personal information in transit to American
Medical Depot.
- The
American Medical Depot Secure Shopping Guarantee. In the
unlikely event that your credit card company holds you liable
for any unauthorized charges to your account resulting from
your online purchases at American Medical Depot.com, American
Medical Depot will cover your liability up to $50 (the maximum
you can be held liable for).
If
your credit card company: (a) determines that the charges were
fraudulent charges resulting from your online purchase at American
Medical Depot, and (b) holds you liable for any of the unauthorized
charges, contact us immediately. For your convenience, you can
contact us by e-mail or by mail.

Security-Safer Transmissions
Positive
identification
The American Medical Depot web-site
is registered with site identification authorities to enable
your browser to confirm the American Medical Depot Store's identity
before any transmission is sent. With this technology, the identity
of our site is automatically confirmed behind the scenes prior
to the transmission of any customer information requested to
complete an online order. Your data reaches your intended target
or your browser notifies you (prior to your sending any personal
information) that the potential receiving site looks suspicious
and should be avoided.
Data
encryption
If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator
version 2.0 or greater), the information you send us regarding
your purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to
read even if it is wrongly intercepted. The American Medical
Depot web-site utilizes industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially
sensitive information such as your name, address and critically
sensitive information like your credit card number. Standing
behind our security technology, American Medical Depot.com also
provides the Secure Shopping Guarantee, helping to ensure that
you are protected every time you buy online with us.

Security - Help Protect Yourself
If you use a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator
version 2.0 or greater) paying attention to two browser features
will decrease the chances for the unintended or fraudulent use
of your personal information:
1.
Browser security settings
Your browser security preference settings are your first
line of defense to stopping the theft or unwanted viewing
of confidential, personal information. The most popular
browsers offer you the ability to receive an alert or notification
if any of the following happen or are about to occur:
- changing
between secure and insecure transmission modes
- receiving
an invalid site identification for the site to which you
are about to transmit
- sending
a transmission over an "open" or unsecured connection
2.
Browser security signals
The presence of security measures surrounding the entry
of data on a web page is identified in several ways for
you on your browser:
- the
URL identifying the page will always begin with "https://"
versus the normal "http://"
- a
security symbol to indicate operation in a mode that supports
secure transmissions
- a
"closed lock" icon is present in the bottom right-hand
corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen
- An
"unbroken key" icon appears in the lower left-hand corner
of the Netscape Navigator browser screen
With
these security measures in place, you can also feel confident
that every credit card transaction you make with us is protected.
