Personal Information Protection
Power Tools Online guarantees the safety and security of your credit card and personal information. The Power Tools Online shopping cart storefront encrypts your confidential payment information during transmission, ensuring that all superstore and clearance transactions stay private and protected. This guarantee applies to purchases made using any relevant secure server (https: protocol) via PayPal.com or another applicable gateway.
Power Tools Online reserves the right to monitor order activity to ensure a fair process. Power Tools Online also reserves the right to reject any order deemed to be made in bad faith, or that may be in violation of local laws, taxes or restrictions. We strongly advise not to test the web site with false orders, as it will result in substantial, personal legal risk. It is a violation of the law to make bids or orders under a false name or with an invalid credit card. For your protection, credit card orders may be delayed if a screening process is deemed necessary.
Persons who commit fraudulent activity will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Web browsers transmit a unique address that can be used by law enforcement officials to identify fraudulent activity. Both the FBI and the US Secret Service are responsible for investigating Internet fraud cases. Fraudulent information will be provided to the issuing bank, shipping carriers, and networked with our business partners.
