All sensitive credit/debit card information supplied by any visitor to our site is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is commonly used for managing the security of message transmission on the internet through public and private key encryption and a digital certificate that establishes credentials when doing internet business or other online transactions. This certificate is issued by a certification authority, in our case Let’s Encrypt. To view the certificate please click the green certificate in your browser’s address bar.

6) OUR POLICY FOR CHILDREN
We realise and understand that many children will visit our website or access our services, but we encourage all persons under 18 to consult with their parents or legal guardian before submitting any information to this website. We will ask for confirmation that a customer is over the age of 18 and a child below the age of 18 will not be permitted to submit personal information through our site. However, whilst we endeavour to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure children under the age of 18 do not register for our services it is ultimately the responsibility of parents/legal guardians to supervise their children’s online activity.
