Is Virtual Blue Ridge Bookstore web site secure?

Is your order and credit card information secure?

ABSOLUTELY! We take many measures to ensure the security of your personal information. Our shopping cart software has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) foundation that is an encryption standard. Encryption means to convert computer data and messages to something incomprehensible by means of a key, so that it can be reconverted and un-encrypted only by an authorized recipient holding the matching key. So long as you are using an SSL compliant browser such as Netscape Navigator and/or Microsoft Internet Explorer, you'll be able to perform secure transactions of all personal data.

What About Error Messages?

At no time when you receive an error message will it endanger your personal information. Why do we sometimes have errors? We strive to have an error free web environment and to make your shopping with us an error free environment, but occasionally you may receive an error message. We do have to perform regular server (the computer that our site data is actually on) maintenance that will cause occasional down time (time that our site is inaccessible). This is normally done during lower traffic times. Other error messages may arrive from unusually high traffic volume (lots and lots of people surfing the site). To be notified of major maintenance times, regular site changes and special prices and sales subscribe to our "News and Information" newsletter.

If you have any questions about our site do not hesitate to ask. We have quite a large site and may not be aware of an error that you may encounter. Please contact us at info@blueridgebookstore.com. In the meantime... happy web surfing with Virtual Blue Ridge Bookstore.
