Posted on June 29, 2015An Update to our User Agreement
We value our relationship with
our customers and work hard to communicate clearly. Recently, however, we did not live up to our own standards.

Posted on June 25, 2015For Online Merchants This Summer, Red, White and Blue = Green
When it comes to national heritage,
France and the US share more in common than just their flag colors. Both countries commemorate their nation’s independence in July – the US observes its Independence Day on July 4; and on July 14 France celebrates its National Day, known as Bastille Day in English but commonly referred to as la fête nationale or le quatorze juillet. There are also similarities in how the French and Americans celebrate these patriotic holidays, both of which are marked by red, white and blue attire and decorations, plentiful meals enjoyed outside in the summer sun, and, of course, fireworks.

breaches and fraud resulted in $32 million dollars in lost revenue and data cleanup costs for companies and countless hours of individuals investigating the extent of damage done.
