Online Ordering

Using the shopping cart is the easiest, quickest, simpliest
and most secure way to purchase.

All actions involving the entering of credit card or debit card details
in the shopping cart are done under secure and encrypted
conditions using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software.
You can confirm this by checking for https:// in the address bar.
Our shopping cart is run on a separate secure encrypted
server with the URL beginning:
https://ww4.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm?
for the page where items are added to the cart.
This server is verified PCI-DSS compliant and
certified secure by GeoTrust SSL certification.

Click the 'Add To Cart' button next to the product you wish to buy.
This will show you a list of your shopping cart contents.
You can now choose to continue shopping or complete your purchase.
To complete your purchase, follow the instructions in the cart.
Submitting your order will generate an 'Order Acknowledgement' e-mail to you.
(For your security no credit card or debit card details are present)

Your card details are never entered on our systems, as the
online payment gateway, provided by Paypal Commerce Platform
is a separate secure server that communicates with your bank
or card issuer only, so we never have access to your card details.
But if you prefer, you can order via telephone and by post,
see below.
