We will not rent, sell or otherwise disclose your Personal Information to unrelated third parties without your consent.

Third Party Providers

We may employ other companies or individuals to provide certain services to or on behalf of us such as providing packaging and handling and shipping services.

Security

We employ 256-bit encryption technology in all areas of the Site which require you to provide your personal or account information for the purposes of ordering. The Site utilises industry-standard firewalls and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive Personal Information, such as your name, address and credit card number.

You should recognise, however, that no computer system is fully secure and that there are inherent risks associated with Internet transactions.

These limitations apply whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Bescot has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
