Payment
Secure Payment
Secure online shopping at The Bargain Biker. We take security very
seriously and make shopping online as safe as shopping in any of our
stores. Your browser will go into secure mode as soon as you access the
'checkout' or 'login' pages, i.e. before you enter any personal or
payment details.
You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking
for either a locked padlock or a key icon in the grey bar at the bottom
of your screen. Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details
are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of
code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your
card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you
are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports
128 bit encryption and therefore keeps your details as safe as possible
at all times.
We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal
information using an insecure connection. During payment, we also ask
for your card billing address as an additional security check. No
credit or debit card details are stored once your order has been
processed. This is why you can save your favourite delivery address but
need to enter your card details each time you order. We recommend that
you always close down your Internet browser when you have finished
shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC. This will delete
temporary internet cookies from any sites that you may have visited. If
you have any further concerns about security, please call us on 0845 190 3280 or email webmaster@thebargainbiker.co.uk
Internet Shopping is Safe
Internet shopping is now at least as safe as shopping in a store or by
phone, so there is no need for anyone to miss out on the benefits it
can provide.
Here is the Interactive Media in Retail Group's official consumer Internet shopping advice:
1. All of your usual shopping rights apply online: see www.consumer.gov.uk.
2. Know who you're dealing with, get the seller's phone number and postal address.
3. Be aware of terms and conditions, check payment and delivery details.
4. Keep records of what you order.
5. EU law protects you against fraudulent use of your payment card in EU transactions. Credit cards give you extra protection.
6. Only give your payment card details over a secure connection and
never by email. Never disclose your PIN to anyone, and NEVER send it
over the Internet.
7. You usually have at least 7 days to cancel an order and request a refund from an EU retailer.
8. Check your payment card statement carefully. You have at least 90 days to report a suspect transaction.
9. When you buy goods online from outside the EU, you are an importer
and may be liable to pay any Customs Duty and VAT. Be cautious, as it
may be difficult to seek redress if problems arise.
10. If you have a problem, contact the seller. Then, if you need to,
contact the payment card company, your local Trading Standards Office,
or any 'trustmark' organisation the seller is registered with.

How does your browser protect you and your data?
Most modern web browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Netscape,
support 'secure mode' and standard security protocols. Internet
Explorer can warn you if the site you are about to send payment details
to is secure or insecure. To make this happen, select OPTIONS on the
VIEW menu and then click the SECURITY tab. Once all of the warning
boxes have been ticked, Internet Explorer will automatically alert you
each time you send your private details to another site. If you use a
Firefox browser, you should select SECURITY PREFERENCES from the
OPTIONS menu and then click on the GENERAL tab. Tick all of the
Security Alert boxes and again, you will be warned when you are sending
details to secure and insecure sites.
