And I do appreciate you being round. "

It has always been our aim to achieve as much Trust as somehow possible, but also to keep the Trusting Process as moderate as possible and to put everything in a format that can be easily understood by any internet surfer on his way through the web.

As  result there are only 3 different Trust Statuses:

  • Trust pending
    Meaning, an application was filled, and we are waiting for the documents to proof Trust Status.

  • Trust valid
    We received proof of  Person  as a minimum and maybe other documentation to achieve a Trust Level higher than 1.

  • Trust granted
    The documents for Proof of Person, Proof of ownership and (if present) Proof of incorporation are presented in a public confirmed manner (like Apostil)

furthermore there are 2 different Non-Trust Statuses:

  • Trust N/A
    We did not receive the documents within 60 days after registration, or documentation presented did not fulfil our minimum criteria, or there has been little seal presentation (below 3 per day) within the last 30 days. Not assigned means, we are not sure about if and how to Trust.

  • Trust denied
    If we find good reasons not to Trust, we will deny Trust. Before we do so, we will contact the Requestor of Trust.

The documentation provided with or after application will decide which Trust Level is accomplished. There are 4 real Trust Levels and 1 Customer Service Trust Level.

Level 1 (Trust valid or Trust granted)

  • Proof of Person
    We received documentations stating that the Person who is named as responsible for the Domain and the Website is a real living Person.

Level 2 (Trust valid or Trust granted)

  • Proof of Ownership
    If the domain is registered in the Name of the Person above, than we will acquire the documents of Proof by ourselves. If not, documentation has to be provided to proof the legal right to use that domain and/or shop.
  • Proof of Incorporation
    If the Domain Shop is owned by a company, than Documentation has to be provided about the legal character and the correct registration of that company.

Level 3 (Trust granted only)

  • Apostil
    All the above and all following documents have to be provided in a public confirmed manner. Every Document has to be sealed.
  • Proof of Power
    If Person acct for another Person or for a company, than documents have to be provided confirming that Person has the Power of Attorney to proceed with these actions.

Level 4 (Trust granted)

  • A letter of Good Standing either form a Major Bank or of a public listed accountant has to confirm the trustworthiness of Person and/or Company.

Level 5 (Trust granted)

This level can not be achieved by any steps of Person. Level 5 has to be earned. You need to be level 4 and you also need to fulfil certain criteria in means of Customer Service to be honoured with Level 5.
