| Keep Your
Password Secret |

user name and password before buying an item. Just as you

your password secret from outside parties. If shopping with

purchases - do not provide them for any other reason. |

| Before completing an online transaction, read
the delivery and return policies on the online store's home
page. Find out if you can return items and who bears the cost. |

of Your Transactions |

case you need to return an item or have a question about your
purchase. |
