   Yes, a customer should be able to access the terms and conditions. The terms and conditions should be accessed, stored and reproduced electronically by the consumer.

B. SECURITY AND PAYMENT INFORMATION AND PRIVACY

3. Is my payment information supplied online to a supplier of goods and services secure?
   Suppliers are required to ensure that they use secure payment systems and have security procedures in place to safeguard the payment information you supply them when buying goods or services electronically. It is therefore advisable that you review the supplier’s website to establish whether they have security measures and procedures in place, for example, websites which have a security lock icon displayed at the beginning of their URL demonstrates that the website is and it should also possess a URL which starts with “https” instead of “http” which means the site is secured using an SSL Certificate (the s stands for secure). SSL Certificates secure all of your data as it is passed from your browser to the website's server. To some extent, this provides some comfort that the website is fairly secure. You can also use safe payment platforms like PayPal to make payments to the suppliers as this to a larger extent reduces the likelihood of your payment information being compromised and accessed by unauthorized persons or even abused. Suppliers should also ensure that they have privacy policies in place and adhere to them.
