Is it safe to use my credit card?
Yes, shopping at Bare Necessities
is safe. Our secure server software encrypts information,
ensuring that Internet transactions stay private and protected.
We use Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, considered the gold standard in Internet
encryption technology, to protect the security of your credit card information
as it is transmitted to us.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or
credit card company cannot hold you liable for more
than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on a credit card. Your liability
for unauthorized use of a debit card may be higher, but most debit card issuers
voluntarily apply the $50 limit to their cards, as well. If your bank does hold
you liable for any amount up to $50, Bare Necessities will cover the liability
imposed on you, up to $50. Bare Necessities will cover this amount only if the unauthorized use of your
credit card occurred at Bare Necessities, as determined by your credit card
company, and through no fault of your own. You must notify your card provider, in
accordance with the agreement you have with the company, if unauthorized use of
your credit or debit card does occur.
You may also place your order by printing our order form
