How
do I know my credit card information
is secure?
To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or location line of your browser, if you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https."
Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don’t permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at brazilchic.com. In that case, you’ll be able to connect to the server, which means you won’t be able to mistakenly place an order through an unsecured connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please send your order by fax. Please include your phone number on the fax (no credit card information please!) and we will contact you to place your order. The fax number is 309.285.6946
Safe Shopping!
