in order to protect customers to the fullest extent, oaknyc does not store your credit card information at any time.
to assist you in recognizing secure areas of the oaknyc.com website, a small lock icon will appear in the lower right-corner of your web browser. when this icon is present, and in the locked position, you know that information on that page will be secured.

items are only held for you once you place an order. adding an item to your cart does not guarantee that you will be able to purchase it at a later date. if the item you want sells out before you proceed through checkout, a notice will pop up in step 2 of checkout and the item will be removed from your cart.
