me2everyone Limited are accredited to the SafeBuy code of practice approved by the UK Office of Fair Trading, which is also supported by the Institute of Directors and the Institute of Direct Marketing.

 The Scheme, amongst other things, requires web retailers to:

• Adhere to the terms of the Sale of Goods Act, the EU Distance Selling Regulations and the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications
• Conform to the Data Protection Act 1998
• Provide security for the processing of credit card transactions
• Include physical location and contact details for themselves on their website
• Display the total price consumers must pay for goods including delivery costs and provide a clear explanation of the delivery procedures
• Advise the consumer if 'cookies' are required for the processing of data
• Not use 'spam' for marketing purposes

Unlike other web retailer schemes, SafeBuy is not designed to be a shopping directory. SafeBuy vets all sites during accreditation and continuously carries out 'mystery shopper' exercises and standards checking to ensure that retailers are adhering to the Scheme.

In the event of a consumer purchasing problem, SafeBuy has a mediation service, at no cost to the consumer or retailer. The consumer has a further right of redress through the SafeBuy arbitration scheme run by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators at www.idrs.ltd.uk/safebuy.
