Both are signs you are entering a secure site.
7.2 We take card fraud extremely seriously and use checking procedures that may be more stringent than other sites. As such, if we believe there is a small possibility of a transaction being fraudulent, we do reserve the right to make extra checks as we feel necessary which may delay your order or we may withhold an order entirely in which case a full refund will be issued back to the method of payment used and goods will not be sent out. We apologise for any inconvenience or offence this may cause, but as a small independent business selling high value goods, we do reserve the right to not only protect our own property but potentially that of others by ensuring potentially fraudulent transactions are not processed.
