ORDERING INFORMATION
Pushing the "ORDER" button does not process or send the order, it only
adds it to the shopping cart. You can always remove it later.


CREDIT CARD SAFETY
There is no need to worry about credit card safety. Our secure server
software is among the best software available today. We are presently
hosting our store on YAHOO SHOPPING, no need to say more! See
more details below.


OTHER ORDERING OPTIONS
If you still prefer not to use your credit card over the internet -- no problem
-- you can still order by
FAX or CHECK.

  • FAX
    Fax it to: (516) 295-9599. If you have questions you may also call
    us at: (516) 295-3222. Or leave a voice mail message (24 hours)
    at: (888) 217-4820.

    Be sure to include (write clearly) your name, mailing address,
    phone number, type of credit card, card number, expiration date,
    and name of the card holder. Then, of course, list your choice of
    fruit trees and if you would like it to be in honor or memory of
    someone.

  • CHECK
    Send a check to:
    Friends of Zo Artzeinu
    P.O. Box 241
    Cedarhurst, NY 11516

    Be sure to include in writing (clearly) your name, mailing address,
    and phone number. Then, of course, list your choice of fruit trees
    and if you would like it to be in honor or memory of someone.


    SECURE SERVER
    There is no need to worry about credit card safety. Our secure
    server software is among the best software available today. We
    are presently hosting our store on YAHOO SHOPPING, no need to
    say more!

    Every time you send us your credit card number and your billing
    and shipping information, we use the industry-standard Secure
    Sockets Layer (SSL) technology (currently the best selling secure
    server software) to prevent the information from being intercepted.
    That means, when you enter your credit card number into the order
    form, it is transmitted across the internet in an encrypted
    (scrambled) form, then decoded when it gets to us.

    For added security, we also encrypt the credit card number when it
    is stored on disk.

If you are not the kind of person who worries about being hit by lightning
as you're crossing the street, you won't want to worry that your credit card
number will be intercepted on the way to a secure website.


PROBLEMS
1) No response? Server is down or not responding?

When your browser gets no response while trying to reach a site, it will
usually display a message like "The server is down or not responding."
The way this message is phrased, it sounds as if the server is at fault, but
all this message really means is that, for whatever reason, your browser
could not contact the server.

If you are unable to get to our web site the most likely problem is that your
ISP has dropped your internet connection, or that there is some problem
on the internet between your ISP and us.

To test if your connection is live, try going to a well-known site like
www.
google.com or www.cnet.com. If you can't get them either, then the
problem is probably local.

If you can get to Google but not to our site, then the problem is probably
somewhere between your ISP and us. There are periodic logjams on
parts of the internet, and some ISPs also have chronically bad internet
connections. The solution here is to try again later.

2)
Why does it say I am being redirected to an insecure page?
After you place an order, we send you back to whatever page you last
viewed (or some other page you specify). The order form is secure, and
the regular site pages aren't.

Whenever you redirect from a secure to an insecure page, the browser
issues a warning. And unfortunately, all the security warnings issued by
the browser sound equally terrifying, whether they are really important or
(as in this case) not.

So don't be worried about this message, we reassure you that your credit
card info was not exposed. The message is merely about the page that
you are being sent to after ordering.

3)
Why can't I order from your site?

When you can't order from our site, the problem is almost always that you
can't make a secure connection to the server. To test whether this is the
problem, go to:  https://www.microsoft.com (note the 's' after http) and
see if you can get through. If you can't get through to Microsoft either, then
the problem is on your end.

There are two possible reasons why you can't set up secure connections.

You could have a really ancient browser, in which case you should get an
upgrade.

You could be behind a corporate firewall that won't allow secure
connections. In that case the solution is either to ask the network
manager for help with the firewall, or to order from a computer outside
the firewall.

4)
Why do I get a cookie? What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of data that a web server gives to a web browser.
When the same browser asks the server for another page, it includes the
cookie with the request. This lets the server know when a sequence of
clicks all come from the same browser.

That is all cookies do. Using cookies doesn't give the server any
personal information about the person visiting the website. And you don't
have to get rid of these cookies when cleaning for Passover.

Why do we use them?

The
This Is Our Land Shopping Center uses cookies to keep track of
each shopper's shopping basket. When someone arrives at our site, we
give them a unique cookie. When they click on an order button, we use
the cookie to decide into which shopping basket to put the product.

If you don't use cookies (or some equivalent approach like putting a
tracking code in the URL for each visitor), there is simply no way to make
a shopping basket work; unless the server has some way to tell that two
clicks on the order button are coming from the same browser, it has no
way to know that both orders should go into the same shopping basket.

Note that we do not store any information in the cookies themselves. The
cookies are simply IDs. Any information that shoppers enter when
placing an order is kept on our servers; the ID in the cookie is merely a
key.
