Security
Security of your information is a high priority for MedStore International. That is why we have chosen a company to host our web site that has invested in the latest technology to protect data from unauthorized use or alteration. Some features of the system employed are;
- Networks configured to create a maze effect so hackers can’t get to valuable data
- Advanced firewalls that cordon off the host’s network from the open Internet
- Monitoring day and night by network engineers who can detect and thwart any hacking attempt.
You can be totally confident that any information we receive from you is kept in a secure environment accessed only by authorized personnel.
The open nature of the Internet does however mean that no data transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure. While we do all we can to protect your information once we have it, we cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to us. Therefore this activity must be conducted at your own risk but with the MedStore International Guarantee outlined below.
Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Billing Act (USA) your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on your credit card. The MedStore International Guarantee is this;
If fraudulent use of your credit card occurs as a result of using the MedStore International site, and if this unauthorized use has occurred through no fault of your own, and providing you reported this unauthorized use as required by your card provider, MedStore International will refund the $50 when you are required to pay it.
