CODE OF CONDUCT

Fountain believes in a fair go for all, and to serve our customers. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this “Code”) flows directly from our commitment to our mission and core values. We constantly aim for excellence and to provide value for both our customers and employees.

Our mission is to enhance every customer’s life. Relationships and trust form the foundation of our business.

We operate on the basis of responsiveness, openness, honesty and trust with our customers, business partners, and employees.

Under our Code, Fountain Cosmetics will:

– Operate with integrity, honesty and ethical conduct.
– Comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
– Promote internal reporting of violations of this code.
– Account for adherence to this code.

WE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING!

This Code applies to everyone at Fountain Cosmetics, including the owners and management. The Fountain Code of Conduct is measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. We set the bar that high for practical as well as inspirational reasons.

Our commitment to the highest standards helps us to hire great people, build great products, and attract loyal customers. Trust and mutual respect form the foundation of our success, and are things we need to earn every day.


SECURE PAYMENT

The security of our customers’ personal and credit card information is paramount to Fountain and we continue to invest in the development of robust security systems.

Access to our system is based on the authentication and authorisation of the user.

Our website is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, which creates a secure transaction area in which to enter your payment information. You can be sure that you have entered a secure area as your browser address will become https://www.fountaincosmetics.com, and a small padlock symbol will appear in the top left of your screen.

We also have secure firewall systems and daily scans in place, to ensure that any attempted intrusions are swiftly identified. We regularly engage with industry experts to seek the most up-to-date security advice.
