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.

PURPOSE

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.

MODEL FOR TRUST

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 emailed 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.

TRANSPARENCY

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 and 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.
