Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Our web site links to the FPMT secure credit card gateway (AuthorizeNet) for credit card processing. AuthorizeNet uses 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.
When you use secure pages, either a solid key or a locked padlock icon will appear in the lower right of your browser window. This icon insures that your transaction session is secured through SSL.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies may allow you to take full advantage of some of our web site's best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
