The Americart Shopping Cart System is a 'state of the art' secure system for shoppers used by thousands of online businesses.  When you click on an 'Add to Cart' - 'View Cart'  or 'Check Out'  link or button on this website - you are only causing information pertaining to the product selected and our particular assigned website business code to be transmitted to the Americart server computer.  When you actually view your cart or check out - you are no longer on this website at all - but on the Americart SSL secure server site.

We do not receive credit card information, etc.

All credit card processing is done by encryption via Americart Shopping Cart and the various online payment system gateways. ( Authorize.net Credit Card Processing, PayPal, and Google )

We only get a copy of what you ordered with no credit card number attached.

Credit card numbers are never passed via any email arrangement - period.

Wireless ?  No Order Information whatsoever is passed by way of a Wireless connection.

We DO NOT share any credit card information or email addresses provided us regarding your order with anyone for any reason - period!
Since some of our items are drop shipped by suppliers - it is necessary to share your shipping address only with them.
They do not share or use addresses for any purpose other than to ship your order.

By credit card company regulations we are required to maintain records of transactions for up to two years - actual time required varies with each company.

Notes:  It is our understanding that most credit card fraud is as a result of lost or stolen cards being used over the internet and not as a result of the internet itself - except in cases where hackers have managed access to corporate servers - though in most cases their agenda is not to attain credit card information but to disrupt the corporate business.

There are countless trillions of bits of data being transferred worldwide every second of every day.  In order to grab a select small bit of information out of the vast busy 'pipelines' is most likely a near impossible endeavor - regardless of media hype and 'fright shows'.  ( Side note - I worked for AT&T for over 36 years and know how fiber optic "pipelines" work [ somewhat ;-)  ]   Consider 10 colors of light being interrupted billions of times per second through hair size glass fibers... - this is your voice calls - this is all the data from every bank ATM - service station - department store - hospitals - you name it - and all of the internet traffic.  Now - try not to think about it too much - it can cause headaches.  :-)

WE GUARANTEE SATISFACTION AND OFFER A FULL REFUND OR REPLACEMENT ON REQUEST
AS LONG AS THE ITEM/S  IS/ARE  RETURNED TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF OUR MAILING TO YOU.
