Q. If I want to buy something from eryc.co.uk is my credit/debit card number safe and secure from fraud and hackers?
A. During and after the checkout process your card details are encrypted, once you reach the screen where you enter your details you are on our secure server, after your order is placed your card details are then encrypted again to prevent anyone accessing them. We will never have access to your Credit Card or Debit Card number or personal details. We are also Verified by the Visa and MasterCard Securecode programmes.
Q. How secure is buying over the web? There are constant stories of Credit and Debit Card fraud.
A. If we look at the security issue first; What happens when you type your Credit/Debit card number into our site? Our web site is in secure mode this means that the information you type in will be encoded and our server decodes it therefore anyone attempting to hack into our system cannot obtain any information as it is encrypted, only the last four digits will ever be displayed. The eryc web site is scanned and checked regularly to ensure all security certificates are active and working correctly. We are PCI compliant which means we have satisifed the most rigorous security checks available. You should only ever purchase from a site displaying the official PCI compliant logo.
If you are a UK resident using a UK issued card for a transaction over £100 you are automatically protected by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. This means that if a trader fraudulently charges your card for something that you did not order then the Credit Card company are equally liable for the debt. In practise this means that the Credit Card company would refund you for the fraudulent charge. Putting your Credit/Debit card details into a secure Internet site as eryc.co.uk you are much safer than giving the details over an unsecured telephone line.
Q. Once you have my email address and personal home/business address what you do with them.
A. At eryc.co.uk we work on the strict principal that our customers only receive what they request, from the goods that they buy, the invoice received to the newsletters and freebies we send out.

On some occasions you can speed up the return of funds process by contacting your card issuer.
