Security Pledge

At Maxwell Scott, your security is one of our main concerns. We have taken every conceivable precaution to guarantee that every transaction on our website will be totally safe and secure.

Firstly, we use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with your browser, to ONLY enable Maxwell Scott to read your name and address details and no body else (we do not have access to your card details)! You need to look out for the small closed padlock or key symbol, usually at the bottom right (occasionally top right) of the screen. This ensues that all your personnel details are being coded and travelling safely over the web. Please note that you will only see this padlock when you reach the payment section of our website and not before!

Secondly, to provide optimum credit card security, we use Protx in conjunction with Lloyds TSB to handle all internet credit card payments. Protx are one of the UK's leading Secure Payment Service providers (highly recommended by Lloyds TSB). At Maxwell Scott, we never have access to your financial details as this information is sent directly to the bank (only your contact details are retained for reference purposes). To date, there have been no cases of Protx's security being breached worldwide. For further details please click here »

Finally, we also use “Thawte” to encrypt all your personal information for peace of mind. “Thawte” has checked all details on this site and verified the information. You can check the site’s validity yourself! Simply click the “Thawte” certificate at the bottom of the screen to see authentication of this sites security.

Shopping online at Maxwell Scott is statistically safer than using your credit card at a restaurant or shop. Online purchases without human intervention are far safer than traditional credit card transactions. The risk of credit card fraud is 100 times greater when you hand your card to the waiter in a restaurant than when you shop!

Thousands of customers shop safely over the Internet every minute. Current encryption technology, used by many Internet stores including ourselves, completely eliminates credit card fraud on the Internet. We're certain after successfully shopping online at Maxwell Scott; you will be on your way to appreciating the power, convenience, and security of shopping online.
