By submitting an offer to purchase Monaco Jewelers products on the Website or through the Customer Contact Center, you expressly authorize Monaco Jewelers to perform such credit card pre-authorization and, where Monaco Jewelers deems necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit-card number, to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorization and to authorize individual purchase transactions.

Monaco Jewelers takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Monaco Jewelers uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. Unfortunately, transmitting information over the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to the Website; any transmission is at your own risk and we cannot be held liable. For more information about how we use and protect your information please view our Privacy Policy.

In order to secure your transaction and prevent fraud, Monaco Jewelers will perform a credit card and anti-fraud check. By placing your order, you will be deemed to have authorized Monaco Jewelers to perform such checks and, where Monaco Jewelers deems necessary, from time to time to transmit or obtain information that you have provided to Monaco Jewelers about you in order to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorization and to authorize a particular purchase transaction.
