Should I use a credit card
to pay for my online purchases?
Absolutely. It's the best payment method available to
the online-shopper. Provided, of course, that you use
the same discretion as when you pay in person in a regular
store. Using a credit card to shop online is as safe
as giving your credit card to a waiter. Effectuality
uses the best methods available today for safe and secure
transactions. If you are uncomfortable sending your
credit card over the internet you have two other options.
1) At the payment stage of our shopping cart it gives
you the option to "Print" and then fax the order form
to us. Our fax number is (416)630-3354. 2)Another option
is to hit the "Contact Me" button. A customer service
representative will contact you shortly.

How can I be assured that my
transaction will be completely secure?
If
you are using the Microsoft Explorer or the Netscape
Communicator browser, there are two ways of verifying
the privacy of your transactions: A good rule of thumb
while shopping anywhere on the internet is to make sure
that the security icon (a key or a lock) appears on
your screen; verify that the address of the document
you are accessing begins with https://. Do not submit
any information if you notice a broken key or an open
lock on your screen: these symbols indicate that the
transaction is not secure. Rest assured that fraudulent
interceptions (of credit card numbers, for example)
are extremely rare, since there are protocols governing
the transmission of personal information over the Internet.
Thanks to these protocols, your credit card number and
its expiry date become virtually indecipherable while
in transit over the Net.
