What is the Comodo SSL certificate warranty?

Comodo believes it is important to protect the end user. If we were to mis-issue a certificate to a fraudulent site, and that fraudulent site has an SSL link with an end user and as a result of this the end user loses money. The end user had what they thought was a "trusted session". Comodo should never have provided the fraudster with the ability to engineer this situation. Hence, we have taken out insurance to pay out money to the end user. How can we do this?

1. Comodo values the end customer
2. Comodo believes the insurance provided greater peace of mind hence allows the merchant to sell more products
3. Most importantly, Comodo values our validation techniques

We provide validation that is far higher than some other SSL providers. Some CA's have very weak validation hence they decide NOT to offer zero or low insurance! Finally, it is worth pointing out, that we offer high validation, but not at the compromise of speed. You can still obtain SSL extremely quickly.

This Warranty is payable to your site visitors who rely on your Comodo SSL certificate and who incur losses resulting directly from an online credit card transaction as a result of a mis-issued Comodo SSL certificate. This Warranty is only payable if the transaction involved an amount no greater than the Max Transaction Value identified below for the relevant certificate type. Only up to $1,000 may be paid out per transaction, and the aggregate warranty amount paid out per SSL certificate.
