Security & Privacy Information

Online Credit Card Transactions

Your online credit card transactions are secure with eventsgifts.com. We use Secure Socket Layering (SSL), the industry-standard encryption technology that ensures safe Internet transmission of your personal information.

Making a credit card purchase is just as safe on our Web site as it is by telephone, but if you prefer the latter, you may purchase online merchandise by calling 713.520.5700, Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm and Saturday 10am - 5pm CST. One of our sales associates will gladly take your order.

Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered a secure means of transmitting credit card information.
