Security Policy

When PayGate processes a transaction for you via the secure payment web service, the transaction is encrypted. Paygate makes use of the latest SSL encryption which encrypts all data sent from the browser to PayGate in such a way that only Paygate servers can read it.

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is the world standard for secure data transmission over the Internet. SSL uses authentication and encryption technology developed by RSA Data Security Inc.

All the mainstream Web browsers such as Netscape's Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer support SSL.

How to Check Your Browser Security

If you look at the location (URL) field at the top of the browser you will see it begins with https: instead of the normal http:

This means that you are in secure (SSL) mode.

You can also verify the security of a document by examining the security icon at the bottom-right hand corner of your browser. (Usually a lock and key padlock or a solid gold key depending on your browser and version.)This is your assurance that your browser and our server are communicating securely. All information transmitted on our secure servers is encrypted while in transit, so that even if the information is intercepted it is useless to anyone.

Paygate Internet servers are protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The Merchant (CMT2009 Conference) does not have access to credit details.

We may investigate any reported violation of these Conditions or complaints and take any action that we deem appropriate (which may include, but is not limited to, issuing warnings, suspending, terminating or attaching conditions to your access and/or removing any materials from the Website).

Law

The Conditions will be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Africa whose Courts will have exclusive jurisdiction in any dispute, save that we have the right, at our sole discretion, to commence and pursue proceedings in alternative jurisdictions.
