Digital
Certificate by
"Creating
a Model for Trust
for Online Businesses
Everywhere"
|
|
Mission:
To certify online businesses, create a model for trust, and to
provide a realtime "seal" or digital certificate of authenticity
to further ecommerce on the World Wide Web.
VeriBiz
is committed to ensuring high standards of business
conduct throughout the online business community through a
rigorous certification process. VeriBiz members, large, small,
facilities based and virtual, are dedicated to providing high
quality service to customers and are expected to meet and
maintain a set of business practices. Upon certification,
a VeriBiz member is entitled to display the VeriBiz seal of
approval on their web site. By clicking on this digital certificate,
a potential customer can authenticate and verify a VeriBiz
member. Authentication is realtime and can only come from
www.veribiz.com where VeriBiz members are maintained in a
database.
VeriBiz
certification for online businesses is important to create a
transparent model for trust throughout the industry. It is a
way to ensure that customers gain confidence by doing business
with companies that are committed to providing the highest quality
products and services. Quality is not dependent upon the size
or tenure of a firm, but by commitment to excellence. By displaying
the seal, VeriBiz members demonstrate their commitment
to customers and the online business community at large. VeriBiz
is proud to play a role in the growth of online businesses worldwide.
| STANDARDS AND
VERIFICATION |
VeriBiz
objectives are to define a set of inclusive yet stringent business standards
that benefit companies as well as consumers. The underlying philosophy
is to create and sustain a competitive, innovative and quality-driven approach
to business. You may view the standards by "clicking" on the Application
or Standards links. Each applicant is screened and verified by a VeriBiz
representative according to the application criteria. The
purpose of the Application is to verify business legitimacy.
After
a company is verified by our staff and meets the VeriBiz standards, instructions
on how to apply the VeriBiz seal to the company's web site are sent
to the email address of the contact person listed on the application. The
VeriBiz URL identified on the application is entered into the VeriBiz database.
Visitors to a VeriBiz member's web site will be able to "click" on the
seal and receive real-time authentication from www.veribiz.com only.
VeriBiz
is dedicated to maintaining the free spirit of the Internet and creating
an environment which allows all quality businesses, large or small, to
prosper. Transparency is important to establish an atmosphere of trust
and confidence. Disclosure of a company's business information is as
essential to this process as secure encryption technology. VeriBiz does
not compare or rate online businesses with respect to their products and
services. The sole objective is to certify that online businesses have
met the VeriBiz standards in order to protect consumers and contribute
to industry confidence in doing business online. Due diligence by the VeriBiz
staff is essential.
