Visitors also have the opportunity to purchase MEAU products from our Shopping Center. We will collect order information and a customer's credit card information, where applicable, in order to facilitate shipment and payment for the products ordered.

Visitors are able to send email through the site. Their messages will contain the user's site registration ID and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message.
