When you create a GoArt.com account we provide you with a password and Login ID that can be used to modify your account. For all communication and transactions we use an internal secure network which encrypts information between you and the servers of Goart. All password and personal ID information is encrypted and placed in a password-protected area. For security reasons you will not have access to your credit card information or personal ID after submitting it to us. The information that you provide is then internal and can only be accessed by a select group of people. Keeping your personal information secure is very important to GoArt.com. That is why we only use 128-bit Secure Socket Layers technology. Under the (SSL) Protocol, Professional Global Server ID has the world's strongest encryption rate and is used by many of the world's largest companies to conduct secure transactions over the internet. Encryption is a method of scrambling messages so they cannot be read without the use of decryption keys. The U.S. Government stated in 2000 that encryption keys containing over 40 bits were strong enough for export and tests demonstrated that the information contained within a (128-bit) key would take a supercomputer over 10000 years to decrypt or crack. These tests were based on experiments sponsored by the RSA Data Security.

For every Hand-Signed Posters sold on the GoArt.com Network we will donate €10.00 Euros to cancer and leukaemia research and for every Unsigned-Poster € 1.00 Euro, irrespective of the type of poster we sell. * After you make a purchase GoArt will forward the money onto a separate bank account earmarked for funding. * Please Note that the sale of Garry Orriss Unsigned-Posters are worldwide using several currencies and on (3) continents. This means that depending on the ZONE where you buy your poster in, the amount that we donate for an Unsigned-Poster will be in units of (one), € 1.00 Euro, $ 1.00 US Dollar or $ 1.00 Australian Dollar. Any customer wishing a refund for their Unsigned-Poster will have this 1.00 Euro or dollar fee deducted, or in the case of Hand-Signed Posters € 10,00 Euros or dollars. For posters where the artist has written a special or personal message at the request of the customer a refund is not possible. Sponsoring is an ongoing aim of the artist Garry Orriss though may stop at anytime without prior warning.

AS OF MARCH 2008 SPONSORING IS ACTIVE

We are pleased to announce that Garry Orriss is funding the work of Prof. Dr. Susanne Schlisio of the Dana-Farber Cancer Research Institute in Boston, Massachusetts for her work into studying the key to developing pheochromocytomas or "pheos". Dr. Schlisio and her colleagues have since learned that activating EglN3 kills pheo cells and other neural crest-derived tumors. In contrast EglN3 does not cause cell death in other types of cancer they have examined to date. In short, EglN3 appears to play a special role in the decision between life and death for neural crest tumors such as Pheos. They are trying to understand the mechanisms by which EglN3 causes cell death because this understanding might, in time, allow us to induce pheo cells to die in patients, which would shrink existing tumors or prevent new pheos. We congratulate Dr. Schlisio and her colleagues for their important scientific breakthroughs in cancer research and wish them the very best. For more information on sponsoring please go to our Frequently Asked Questions section.

Protecting children is especially important, that is why you must be over (18) years of age to view this website, if you are not over (18) please leave now. No part of the GoArt-Network is structured to attract anyone less than (18) years of age and even though we may try to enforce this we cannot be made responsible for a lack of parental supervision. As responsible parents you should be aware of what your children see and do on the internet, and implement the right software and educate your child about its many pitfalls. GoArt.com is an Art-Channel and as such aims to raise the artistic, cultural and social awareness of the viewer. If you would like to install what we believe to be one of the better programs for controlling what your children see and do on the internet go to: www.kidshield.com.
