Buy Safely Through Medword.com

Do you ... feel hesitant or nervous about giving us your credit card information over the Internet?

We understand why you would be nervous, but there are some facts you should know. We process orders on a "secure server." This means that when you are in the Medword Store and submit your personal payment information a secure communications connection is created between Medword's server and your browser. The Medword secure server uses super-strong 128-bit SSL encryption - the world's most powerful. 128-bit SSL encryption has never been broken and it would take a trillion-trillion years to crack using today's technology.

"Secure servers" are a very big deal. In the simplest terms, this means you can send us information safely without fear of it being stolen. A lot of companies accept payments without using secure servers because they will not pay to get the certificate or do not have the technical expertise required to set up their order or payment forms securely. It costs Medword a lot of money to provide this kind of security for your peace of mind, but we think you and your privacy are worth it. In addition, we only allow orders to be shipped to the cardholder's address. This means if you lose your credit card & someone tries to use it to buy a product from Medword, they won't be able to submit an address of their own, which is what credit card or identity thieves usually do. Another way Medword ensures your privacy is with our policy of never, we repeat, never, sharing, leasing, selling, or otherwise using your e-mail address & personal infomraton. The only exception to this policy, is, of course, sharing this information with our suppliers so they may complete the sale and ship your product.

When in the store, click on the GeoTrust image and see that Medword has a valid security certificate. If you are still worried about giving information or credit card numbers over the Internet, some of our merchants allow you to mail in an order form if that makes you feel more comfortable (Just choose "Print Form For Mail-in Check or Money Order" as a payment option when checking out of the Medword Store - This method does not obligate you to complete the sale and no payment information is taken). However the fastest and easiest way to order a product from the Medword site is by using our shopping cart system and paying by credit card. You can even pay by personal or business check, for certain products, using the secure order form.
