  1. Essential cookies Essential cookies are technical cookies that are required for the operation of our sites. Without essential cookies our sites can’t operate properly. Essential cookies include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas.

  2. Performance cookies Performance cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our sites and to see how visitors move around them. This helps us to improve the way our sites work by enabling us to tailor our sites to the way visitors use them.

  3. Experience cookies Experience cookies allow our sites to remember the choices you make. Our sites use experience cookies to provide you with enhanced and personalised features.

Storage of Data

We will not store your personal information for any longer than we need to, however we may be obliged by law to store your communications and personal information including activity logs and we may need to show details of these to government or authorised officials upon request.

Information about you will be kept safe and secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of your information, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure information that is collected online.

Keeping your information secure - to help us keep your information confidential you should:

  1. Keep your password secret.

  2. Never distribute the website addresses for pages that you have looked at while logged in as a registered customer.

If you forget your password, you can request a new password, which will be emailed to the address we hold for you. You can change your password anytime through the account facilities on the website.

Payment Card Security - All of our orders use paypal as a payment solution, paypal use industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.Once your information reaches the PayPal site, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.What Makes the PayPal Site So Secure?TechnologyOur state-of-the-art fraud models and proprietary fraud engine work together to help stop fraudulent transactions before they happen. In addition, PayPal stays at the forefront of security, developing many anti-fraud technologies every year.ExperienceWith PayPal, you've got the industry's most experienced fraud team on your side. PayPal processes billions of dollars in payments each year, allowing us to continually perfect our anti-fraud protections. As a result, PayPal's loss rate is significantly lower than the industry average. We also work with federal law enforcement to catch criminals.PrivacyPayPal is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. When you send or request money using PayPal, recipients never see your bank account numbers or credit card numbers. They only see your email address, date of sign-up, and whether or not you have completed PayPal's Verification process.

Security in our offices - access to your information is restricted in our stores and offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers that store this information are kept in a secure environment.

Purchase Guarantee - We use PayPal as our payment solution which comes with its own Buyer Protection.

 If an eligible item that you’ve bought online doesn’t arrive or doesn’t match the seller’s description, our Buyer Protection will reimburse you for the full amount of the item plus postage and packaging costs. Buyer Protection covers all your online purchases, on eBay or on any other website, when you use PayPal. It also covers you when you make a payment on our website.What’s an eligible item? Only physical goods that can be posted and aren’t prohibited by law are covered. Here are a few examples of situations where an item doesn’t match the seller’s description: you bought a book and got a DVD, you bought a new item but got something that was used, you bought 3 items but only got 2, the item was damaged during delivery, the item is missing major parts (that the seller didn’t disclose), or you purchased an authentic brand but got a fake instead. If the seller has accurately described an item, but you’re just not happy with it, that doesn’t qualify for Buyer Protection.What’s not eligible? Buyer Protection does not cover certain kinds of purchases. These include: digital goods (intangible items), services, property, vehicles (of any kind), custom made items, airline travel, or items that violate our policies (stuff that’s usually prohibited by law anyway). Purchase Protection also does not cover items that you purchase in person, or money you send to friends and family. What’s the process? You must open a dispute in within 45 days of your payment to initiate the Buyer Protection process. If you don’t receive a response from the seller that you’re happy with, you must escalate the dispute to a claim with in 20 days of when you first opened the dispute. When you escalate your dispute to a claim, you’re asking PayPal to make a decision. We will then investigate the claim and make a decision on your eligibility in accordance with our User Agreement.
