As part of this commitment to your security, SquareTrade, Inc has been asked to regularly monitor this website for vulnerabilities.

The presence of the SquareTrade "Security Tested" Seal means:

• SquareTrade scans and tests the websites of SquareTrade, Inc daily for security issues
• As part of this scan, SquareTrade simulates an unauthorized user.
• These attacks include over 200 of the most significant internet security vulnerabilities identified by the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) at the FBI.
• A report is available to senior business and technical management of the company informing them of the results of the scans so that they may take remedial action as appropriate for their business.
• An alert is sent to the company if any new vulnerability arises - thus helping them stay on top of any new issues.

The presence of the SquareTrade "Security Tested" Seal is not a guarantee of security. Specifically:

• SquareTrade's service alerts management to issues that may exist. It is the responsibility of management to correct these problems, if any.
• The presence of the Seal does not indicate that any issues that may exist have in fact been fixed. It solely indicates that management continues to ask SquareTrade to report on the security status of the website.
• SquareTrade monitors some of the most significant security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an unauthorized user. There are other potential security vulnerabilities that are not monitored by SquareTrade.

The SquareTrade Security Seal, along with other factors, can substantially lower the risks of buying online. The Seal is not a guarantee of security - however, it is a significant indicator that the website has made a conscious effort to protect their servers from external hackers.
