Safe, Secure Orders at Seton.com
Seton understands your concerns over Internet security. Because we share your
concerns, we've worked closely with IBM to develop a highly secure online ordering
process – one that lets you shop and order with confidence. The result
is a Web site that offers you the high level of service, convenience and trustworthiness
our customers have come to expect from us during our 45-year history. |
The Secure Order Process
Using IBM's e-business software, in conjunction with features built into popular
browser software, our site provides advanced security for your online purchases.
The following section describes how the secure order process works, from start
to finish. |
| 1. |
Starting Your Order |
| |
Every order at seton.com is secure,
and clicking a Checkout button on the Shopping Cart page is all
it takes to get started. The security features are automatic;
you don't need to do anything special to invoke them. |
| 2. |
Making a Positive ID |
| |
Once you've clicked the Checkout
button, your browser looks for a digital certificate to confirm
that it is communicating with seton.com. Once a positive ID is
made, your order continues. We use VeriSign software to enable
the use of digital certificates. You can click on the VeriSign
logo at right to verify that seton.com is a VeriSign secure site.
For your security, the verification process happens in the background every time
you place an order on our site. |
| 3. |
Entering Secure Mode |
| |
Next, your computer and our server
begin communicating in secure mode, sending data back and forth
in an encrypted format. After your browser has entered secure
mode, we'll ask you to enter, or if you're a registered shopper,
to confirm, your credit card information. The encryption features
of browser software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the
security of this data as it is transmitted to our server. Our
site makes use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and
128-bit strong encryption to provide the highest level of security
available. |
| 4. |
My Order Is Complete. What Happens
Next? |
| |
Security measures continue even after
you've placed your order, as we process your order in a highly
secure computing environment. |

A Note About Older Web
Browsing Software
If you use one of the following Web browsers, you may encounter a security warning
when you visit a secure page at any Web site after December 31, 1999:
| • |
Netscape Communicator 4.05 or earlier |
| • |
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Macintosh
The warning is generated in error and is caused by a software problem in
these browsers. The problem does not affect the security of your connection
to our site. |
