BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
The Essex Image Vault site is best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and above.

INTERNET EXPLORER SECURITY
Parts of our web site will not function correctly if you have selected the highest possible security settings within Internet Explorer because this mode disables Active Scripting.

If you encounter problems, you may correct them by doing the following:

In your Internet Explorer browser select “Internet Options" from the Tools menu.
Select the security tab at the top of the popup window that appears
Click and drag the sliding scale bar down from highest to medium
Click “OK.”
Complete your transaction.
Re-instate your former security settings once you are ready to exit the site by reversing steps 1 – 4.

PROBLEMS ACCESSING SECURE AREAS
If you are on a network and encounter difficulties accessing secure areas of the Essex Image Vault site, ask your network administrator for assistance. Possible solutions include configuring Internet Explorer to Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) versions of 2.0 and 3.0, ciphering strength value in Internet Explorer, and clearing temporary Internet files, cookies, and history.

Changing settings on a computer that is connected to a network at any time can affect the entire network, so please contact your network administrator prior to attempting to implement any solutions. Essex Image Vault will not be held liable for damage.

SITE SECURITY
We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from customers at our site.

We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)--the highest standard in online encryption technology--to ensure that your personal and credit card information remains secure. SSL encryption allows you to shop with confidence, knowing that only you and Essex Image Vault have the ability to access your information.

Keeping customer information private is a priority for Essex Image Vault. We will not sell, rent, or loan customer information to any third party. Whenever you access a secure page on our site, the information you send is immediately encrypted for your protection.

SHIPPING
All orders are shipped using UPS and are fully insured in transit. Shipping costs $7.50 for orders of less than $74 and $12.95 for orders of $75 and higher.

We ship to verifiable, physical street addresses within the U.S. only. Please note that we are unable to ship to international addresses, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, and APO addresses.

A recipient signature is required for delivery. For your security, you or another authorized adult must be available to sign for your package at the designated shipping address.

PAYMENT
Essex Image Vault accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards. We do not accept checks, cash, debit cards, or COD. The purchase amount is allocated when your order is accepted and your credit card will be billed at the time of shipment.

A sales tax of 5% is added to any print shipped to Massachusetts addresses. Sales tax is not charged on shipments to addresses outside of Massachusetts. Non-Massachusetts customers are responsible for reporting and paying sales tax in their own states.

RETURNS
Due to the fact that Essex Image Vault generates prints on demand, we must ask that you consider all sales final. However, your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. All prints are subjected to a rigorous quality control process prior to shipping, and leave our studio in top condition.

PHOTOGRAPH QUALITY
At Essex Image Vault, we take pride in the detail and clarity of our photographs. We use sophisticated digital technology in the production of our prints. The original negative or photograph is scanned before it is prepared to be printed for you. During this process, any creases or scratches that may have appeared over the years are painstakingly removed.

LICENSING
Photographs in the Essex Images collection are available for licensing. If you wish to reproduce one of our photographic images in a publication or in any other manner, please contact us at Essex Images Licensing Department.
