| FAQ's... |
How
does it work?
We search out the top web-retailers. The cheapest, most
reliable and safest to order from. We then sign up to their affiliate
programme. This is a two way exchange - we send them customers and
they give us a small percentage of anything which those customers
spend. After our small operating costs have been met, we give all
this commission to DUCK. So
if you're going shopping anyway, why not make sure that
you're helping charity whilst you're helping yourself!

involvement
Is it safe ? Oh
aye. Shopping over the web is just as safe as shopping any other
way. All the web sites in the Durham21 shop are
secure sites which use high-level encryption to protect any information
which you give them.
But
is it as safe as....
1.
Ordering over the phone? Safer. It's much easier for someone
to listen in on a phone call than to intercept information from
a secure site.
2.
Paying by credit card in a shop? Safer. What's to stop the
shop asssistant or anyone else using your credit card receipt for
their own devious purposes?
3.
Paying by cash? Safer. You could have your cash stolen as you're
getting it out of the cash machine, on your way to the shop, or
your way back from the shop. It's a dangerous place out there, watch
your back.
Anyway,
ta-ta for now,
