Our Security Safeguard
At bibisbabyandkids.com we don't just stand behind our merchandise.
We also do our best to provide a safe and convenient online shopping
experience.
That means we safeguard the integrity of our customers' credit card
information. If your credit card or debit card ("credit card") is
used in an unauthorized manner on our site (as determined by your
credit card company), we will cover whatever amount your credit
card company doesn't – up to $50.
If you're not quite comfortable shopping online, or would prefer
to make your purchase via telephone, just give us a call at 1-866-554-BABY,
option 1. Our Customer Service representatives are standing by Monday
10am-4pm, Tuesday thru Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10am-5pm. They'll
be happy to take your bibisbabyandkids.com order right over the phone.
Credit Card Safety
Protecting the safety of your credit card information is important
to us.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security
of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us.
SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which
is a fancy way of saying that it's a highly sophisticated method
of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website's
servers.
If someone steals your credit card information or uses your credit
card in an unauthorized manner on our site (as determined by your
credit card company) – through no fault of your own – we'll
cover up to $50 of the charges your credit card company doesn't.
What's more, we'll do what we can to make the whole process as hassle-free
as can be.
What about my bank or credit card company?
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company
cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of unauthorized or fraudulent
charges on a credit card. Your liability for unauthorized use of
a debit card may be higher, but most debit card issuers voluntarily
apply the $50 limit to their cards, as well. If your bank does hold
you liable for any amount up to $50, bibisbabyandkids.com will cover
the liability imposed on you, up to $50. bibisbabyandkids.com will
cover this amount only if the unauthorized use of your credit
card occurred at bibisbabyandkids.com and through no fault of your
own.
Remember: If unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does
occur, you must notify your card provider, in accordance with the
agreement you have with the company.
How do I know my credit card information is secure?
To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit
personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner
of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending
upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security,
look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed
a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line
should change from "http" to "https."
Some browser versions and some firewalls don't permit communication
through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at
bibisbabyandkids.com. If for any reason you cannot access the secure
server, please feel free to place your order with us by phone at
1-866-554-BABY, option 1. Our Customer Service representatives will
be happy to assist you.
