Ordering Security

Your Order is Secure!

Today's popular media sources have led many people to believe that it is not safe to send your credit card information over the Internet. Though these concerns may be valid when dealing with other on-line stores, ordering through Alternative Beverage is certain to provide you with a safe and secure credit card transaction.

Why is it secure?

Your order is secure because we have contracted with Kickasp, Inc. for our on-line commerce. They use their own Secure Sales Server technology (S3) on every transaction that we process. This technology begins by utilizing Netscape's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. SSL encrypts the transmissions from both Kickasp's server as well as your computer. Put simply, the transmission from our server forms a matched pair with the transmission from your computer, so that only data to and from these sources can be valid. If you are using Netscape 1.0 or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.0 or later as your web browser, your transactions are fully encrypted and secure when you buy through Kickasp. You'll know that it is secure when you see a full yellow key in a blue box in the lower left-hand corner of your Netscape browser. If you use Explorer, you'll see a full "lock" in the status bar. If you use another type of browser, you'll still be able to place an "un-secure" order if you wish.

What pages are secure?

We only secure the pages that contain personal and private information in order to protect your identity and your credit card transaction. Other pages are not secured in order to increase the transmission speed. Go ahead and place an order! Now you know it will be secure!
