Credit Card Processing & Security
The Creative Office uses Fast Transact, a credit card processing company, to bill purchasers of goods and services from the site, and depending upon the goods and services being ordered and where they are being shipped, also uses UPS to assist us in fulfilling and delivering orders. We share with them the information necessary to enable such card processing, fulfillment, and delivery of goods (i.e. name, address, and as appropriate, payment information.)

We take credit card information security seriously and use 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology to make shopping safe and secure on our site. The encryption process takes personal information and converts it into code that is securely transmitted over the Internet. The Creative Office also protects user information off-line. All personal information of our users is maintained in a restricted section in our office, with only those of our employees who need the information to perform a specific task (e.g. accounting or customer service) granted access to such information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In no event shall The Creative Office be liable for special, indirect, exemplary, or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to, loss of use, data, or profits, without regard to the form or any action, including but not limited to contract, negligence, or other tortious actions, arising out of or in connection with the use, copying, or display of the contents of this site, even if The Creative office or an authorized representative of The Creative office has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
