To browse the range of products available at the IHA Online Merchandise Store click on the "Products" link above. Doing so will bring you to a list of the products available. Clicking on any of these product names will display a page with an image and a description of the product. If you wish to order the selected product there is a box underneath the image labelled quantity. Enter the number of items you want into this box then click the "Add To Cart" 'button. This will take you to your cart and show you the items that you currently have in the cart. Click the continue shopping link to return to the product listing.

If at any time you want to view the contents of your cart click on the link " View Cart". This page displays the items currently in your cart. On this page, you can change the quantity of each item. Note that in order to execute the update of the item quantities you must use the "Update" button to update the contents of the Cart.

Security

For the transfer of your personal and payment information a True 128-bit SSL encryption is used to ensure safe unaltered and unintercepted transmission. This means that only authorized administrators and operators can view and process your order. All credit card details used for payment are removed from our records once the transaction is complete.

Privacy

Our privacy policy is simple! Any information that you provide to us in the course of placing an order will not be distributed or used in any way except to process and dispatch an order. Your contact details, that is your e-mail, phone or fax number, may be used to notify you or query your order if an error is found.

Troubleshooting

If you experience difficulties in getting this shop to record you order details correctly at the "View Cart" stage, this may be due to your browser having a default security setting of "High". With your Network Administrator's permission, you will need to set your security level to "Medium" to allow interactive communication with your PC (within a security environment acceptable to most Administrators). For example - with "Internet Explorer", select the Tools menu, Internet Options, Security and adjust your Security Level to Medium. If your difficulties persist, please contact us using the button provided.
