We reserve the right to refuse to accept a Gift Voucher which it deems to have been tampered with, duplicated, damaged or which otherwise is suspected to be affected from fraud.
Order Processing
Your order is sent directly to our secure terminals for processing. Once we have received your order and payment, our staff will pick, pack and dispatch the item. We will aim to do this the same day for all orders placed Mon-Sat (excluding Bank Holidays).
Why you can feel secure shopping with us. We use the industry leading internet payment company Square Pay and PayPal, to protect your card details and protect us from fraud; the following security systems are used.
Transaction security. All transaction information passed between merchant sites and the Square Pay VSP Systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from Square Pay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing you pass to the Square Pay servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Encryption and Data Storage. All sensitive data is secured on Square Pay using internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards. The data they hold is extremely secure and the system is regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Links to banks. Square Pay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code. To ensure our mutual security and give you even more confidence in shopping online with www.empire-menswear.co.uk, we have introduced Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code These services enhance your existing credit/debit card accounts against unauthorized use when you shop with us. To use this service, you must first register with the bank or other organisation that issued your card. Once you have registered and created your own private password with your card issuer, you will be automatically prompted at the checkout when the card is being processed to provide this password each time you make a purchase. Please note that your Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure Code password is related to your credit/debit cards and is not your www.empire-menswear.co.uk customer account password. www.empire-menswear.co.uk does not have access to your Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code password.
Employee access. No individuals within Square Pay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
