This is the Website of Global Marine Networks, LLC (GMN)
Our postal address is:
2668 Jericho Rd
Maryville, TN 37803
We can be reached via info@globalmarinenet.net.
Or you can reach us by telephone at 1-877-379-8723, our customer service
line, Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm EST.
GMN is committed to protecting your privacy. In order to complete your order
or to satisfy your request for information, you will be asked to provide us with
certain personal information. We offer 128-bit SSL encryption, which encrypts
your personal and credit card information as it is transferred over the
Internet.
We electronically verify each order with the credit company, returning an order
confirmed message only if the issuing bank authorizes it. Our experienced
staff then manually checks all orders which still appear unusual, canceling any
order we feel is not valid.

If you're ever a victim of credit card fraud, the Fair Credit Act specifies
that your credit card company can hold you liable for no more than $50 in
fraudulent charges to your account. With GMN, you'll be reimbursed for any
amount up to $50 billed to you by your credit card company for fraudulent
charges to your account if the credit card number was obtained from purchases
made at GMN while using our secure server. For this protection, you must
promptly notify your credit card company of any fraudulent charges and follow
the procedures for doing so as outlined in your credit card agreement.
How You Can Tell You're Browsing a Secure Website

In order to be sure that information transferred between your browser and
the GMN server is secure, it is important to be aware of the security
information available to you through your browser.
Once you enter the Checkout process (when you're ready to purchase the items
you have put into your shopping basket), your connection to our server becomes
secure. To confirm this, look at the bottom of your browser window. If you see
an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure
that your information is secure.
You can also ensure security by checking the URL line of your browser. When
you enter the secure area of our site, the first characters of the site
address will change from "http" to "https".
