 You
may have noticed the Safebuy and
Trust UK logos on the left hand
side bar of the site. The
SafeBuy Assurance Scheme for
web-based retailers is operated
by Software Research Ltd. It is
endorsed by TrustUK, the
industry self-regulatory body
set up by the Consumers'
Association and the Alliance for
Electronic Business, supported
by the UK Government.
The Scheme, amongst other
things, requires us to:
- Adhere to the terms of the
Sale of Goods Act, the EU
Distance Selling Regulations
and the EU Directive on
Privacy and Electronic
Communications;
- Conform to the Data
Protection Act 1998;
- Provide security for the
processing of credit card
transactions;
- Include our physical
location and contact details
on our website;
- Display the total price
you must pay for goods
including delivery costs and
provide a clear explanation of
the delivery procedures;
- Advise you if 'cookies'
are required for the
processing of data;
- Not use 'spam' for
marketing purposes;
- Avoid exploitation of
children.
SafeBuy vets all sites prior
to accreditation and
continuously carries out
'mystery shopper' exercises to
check that we are adhering to
the Scheme. In the event
you have a purchasing
problem, SafeBuy has a mediation
service, at no cost to you.
Mediation covers the buying
process but does not cover the
fitness of the goods or services
for their purpose or the
delivery procedures. |
