- USING UNSUPPORTED WEB BROWSERS:
- ===============================
- If you would like to try an unsupported browser, you may setup
- the CyberCash Client Application as a viewer/helper application
- yourself. Each browser has a different user interface to do this,
- but the following information is essential:
-
- File Type: application
- Mime Type: x-cybercash
- Suffix: .cym
- Application: cyber.exe (This file is in the directory
- specified during the setup process.)
-
- Unsupported browsers may or may not work with the CyberCash Client
- Application.
-
- NOTE: The CyberCash Client Application will not work with Web
- Browsers that contain their own TCP/IP stack. CyberCash is pursuing
- options to support products like these for future releases.
-
- ABOUT THE SOFTWARE:
- ===================
- In order to take advantage of the CyberCash service, users must
- install the free CyberCash software and establish a CyberCash
- Persona. By installing the software, you agree to the terms of the
- software license and user agreement displayed at the time of password
- selection and activation. Establishing a CyberCash Persona will allow
- you to use your credit cards with all Internet merchants who offer
- the CyberCash service.
-
- WHAT IT COSTS:
- ==============
- There is no cost to you for the CyberCash software, and CyberCash
- does not impose any additional fees on credit card users for taking
- advantage of the CyberCash service. Fees for the CyberCash credit card
- service are paid by merchants as part of their standard credit card
- transaction costs.
-
- PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY:
- ============================
- CyberCash believes strongly in protecting the privacy of your financial
- information. This software will encrypt the data regarding your credit
- card so that it can be safely transmitted over the Internet and to your
- financial institution. CyberCash will also not voluntarily reveal any
- information about you or your transactions to anyone other than the
- merchant and financial institution(s) involved in processing the
- transaction. But the CyberCash service covers only the financial aspect
- of your transaction (credit card number, name, expiration and amount of
- transaction); other information you may send over the Internet, even to
- the merchant with whom you are dealing, is not part of the CyberCash
- service, and will not be encrypted, received or stored by CyberCash.
