Third-Party Credit Card Processors
*If
using a third-party credit card vendor (example PayPal) is the only viable payment option for an on-line purchase,
pre-authorization from either Danielle Burlison,
Rob Parker, or
Judith
Anderson will have to be obtained. This can be done via e-mail explaining in
detail the nature of your intended purchase. Please keep in mind that
utilizing services like Pay-Pal are highly discouraged and pre-authorization is required on all transactions
of this type.
