Safe Secure Shopping FAQ's
    Ugo Store is proud to offer a safe and reliable shopping experience for your pleasure. We have gone through extensive measures to ensure the products and services offered through our site are secure.  We have further put together this FAQ to help with questions and provider you safe shopping information.

When shopping at an unfamiliar merchant site, look for some kind of seal of approval, such as the Better Business Bureau (bbbonline.org). TRUSTe (truste.org) or Verisign (verisign.com).

When shopping our site sends you directly to the product or service site you have clicked on so as to ensure your confidence in shopping and continue to provide the option to come back to our site.

It's a good practice to be familiar with the name or reputation of any company you're dealing with.

Know what information the merchant is collecting about you, how it will be used, and if they share it with or sell it to others. You can do this by checking the web site to make sure there is a privacy policy posted, and that you're comfortable with the way your personal information is treated under that policy.

Be cautious if you're asked to supply personal information not needed to make a purchase, such as your Social Security number or personal bank account information. (These sites may need to be reported to The Better Business Bureau and RipoffReport where you can also find out information about the site if listed.)

Check for expected delivery dates, shipping and handling fees, warranties, return policies, and other important information. Look for an email address to write to (or a phone number to call) if you have a question, a problem, or if you need help.

Most importantly, make sure you have read and understand the merchant's shipping and return policies before making any purchases.

The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web site (www.consumer.gov) that provides many buyer's guides, lists of tips, and links to helpful resources.

When using a credit card online, look for an unbroken key or padlock (a graphical icon usually located in the bottom corner of the web page), or for a policy that indicates use of strong security technology such as SSL. This indicates that your credit card data is transmitted securely.

Keep your passwords safe, and don't share them with other people.

Make sure to print or save electronically any records related to your online transactions. This will help you keep track of shipping dates, shipping and handling fees, and other details of your transactions.
