Secure Shopping

The Internet is our primary sales channel and we want you to take our business seriously so we have made the decisions below to give you a secure shopping experience.

• Our web site servers are physically located within Australia in a secure data centre and managed by Australian personnel. This ensures the data centre holding our website must comply with Australian Laws and Standards.


• We use the best payment gateways which ensure we are never privy to your credit card number. So there is no way through technical or process failure we can accidentally loose or publicly release this sensitive data. If you request of us to re-bill your credit card we do this via a request of the payment gateway provider who has your card number.


• Use the Australian Securities Commission site -ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) - To see our registered company details click here.


• We have created a secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet. Our e-Commerce system uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to ensure your shopping experience is safe and secure at all times.


• SSL locks all information passed from you to Essence and Element in an encrypted envelope.This makes it virtually impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your browser supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.


• SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-Commerce sites. The industry standard for encryption technology, SSL is compatible with Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL, and most other browsers.
