Online Terms and Conditions

Security

Trans – Tasman Business Circle processes your credit card details securely over the Internet using an online payment technology called Secure Socket Layer ("SSL"). Our payment system is a Westpac accredited Internet payment security system.

With the combination of Trans – Tasman Business Circle's Verisign SSL 128-bit encryption on our web site and a secure browser at your end, you can be assured that your transaction booking details are encrypted.

Most internet browser software is automatically configured to manage a SSL connection, assuming it is a relatively current version of Netscape Navigator, Communicator (v. 4.74 and above), Microsoft Internet Explorer (v. 5.0 and above), or other name-brand browser software. As you proceed through the purchase process, your browser usually tells you when it has established a secure connection. An icon normally denoted by a padlock located at the bottom right-hand corner of your browser window is displayed. Plain text on secure pages is converted to an encrypted message that cannot be easily broken.

If you are concerned about using your credit card online, you can contact us for more information or assistance.
