We encourage you to apply for membership in the WebAssured program. By joining WebAssured you make a statement to the Internet community that you are ethical, fair, and trustworthy. Our Seal of Assurance allows trustworthy web sites to compete on a level playing field, regardless of whether they have a widely recognized brand name. The Seal at the same time protects on-line buyers, and enables trustworthy on-line sellers. We have established the Universal Standard of Ethics (USE) by which the global Internet community expects on-line businesses to operate, and we allow the community to directly monitor and enforce adherence to those standards through the application of what we call "pressure through publicity".

The benefits of membership also include:

• The ability to post the WebAssured "Seal of Assurance" on your site which helps gives buyers the confidence to purchase from you.
• Purchases made from your site are insured by WebAssured for up to $200 per transaction. This gives buyers the additional trust they need to go forward with a purchase.
• WebAssured drives traffic to your site from it's searchable database and from it's ShopAssured browser plug-in
• Webassured will freely handle any disputes that arise between you and your customer. Our "third-party" approach helps you retain customers.
