We guarantee that every Applied Vitals transaction you make will be 100% safe. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your credit card as a result of shopping at AppliedVitals.com. Under the U.S. Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures. This guarantee applies to U.S. orders only.

Your shopping is secure with us

Applied Vitals utilizes firewalls and the latest network security to safeguard your information throughout the transaction.

Protection of information being transmitted

Another line of defense is our use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 128-bit encryption, the industry standard and best available secure transaction technology. This technology lets you select "secured" or "unsecured" shopping. If your browser is capable of SSL, you should use the "secured" option, which means all sensitive information will be encrypted before being sent over the Internet.

Your transactions are secure from unauthorized access. When you begin a transaction, the rest of your visit will take place on our secure server.
