Your continued viewing, use, or communication, especially the submission of personally identifiable information, shall be construed as active acceptance of the terms of this policy.

We, in the course of operating this website, routinely collect information about you in various ways, such as:

• INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM VOLUNTARY REGISTRATION
  Registration means that the you took active, positive steps to communicate information to us. This can include pages or pop-ups where you registered for a newsletter or subscribed to a mailing list or RSS feed. or it can include your participation in visitor surveys; or it can include requesting information from the website via email, mail, telephone, or courier; or it may be from joining an affiliate program or other membership organization, paid or unpaid; or it may be from ordering a product. In addition, if you furnished your information to us at our offline "bricks and mortar" place of business, it may also be captured as well. Occasionally you may provide complete credit card or checking account information to us via telephone, fax or a fill-in form rather than regular secure merchant service processing. This information is kept at the highest level of security and is never divulged to anyone except the merchant service provider or for the purpose of communication with the customer.
  
  
• INFORMATION OBTAINED DURING ONLINE ORDERING
  Online ordering via SSL encrypted communication provided by shopping cart services supporting merchant service companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express, provides some information to the us but does not provide complete credit card numbers, expiration dates, or CVV2 (back of card) numbers. In the case of electronic check processing, your bank routing code and account number are not provided to us. During the process of online ordering, you may provide your name, address, city, state, zipcode. email address, phone number, and, occasionally a member ID and password. You should consider all this information available to us. While the primary purpose of this information is to deliver the product to you, under the Purchase Agreement you also approve its use for general solicitation purposes.
  
  
• INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM EMAIL, PHONE, OR MAIL INQUIRIES
  When you communicate with us, you do so under two conditions: first, you give us your permission to contact you; and second, you are subject to any ‘submission’ provisions of the Terms of Use, Purchase Agreement, or this Privacy Policy. While your contact information may or may not be used to solicit you, it may be added to the website's general solicitation database. If you send us an email message or if you communicate with us by telephone or mail, we collect information about your communication and by communicating with us, you give your permission to collect, archive, retrieve, and otherwise use any information collected as we see fit. Any communication which, in our sole discretion, we deem to be a testimonial, may be publicized for commercial purposes.
  
  
• INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM INTERACTION WITH THIRD PARTY BANNERS, POPUPS, OR SITE ADVERTISERS
  When you click on third party banners, pop-ups, or hyperlinked advertising appearing on our website, you must assume that information is being collected about you. We are not responsible for the use of information collected in such a fashion.

• INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM ELECTRONIC MEANS (HTTP HEADERS)
  Many websites, including this one, collect information about your computer, your email address, and your IP address as part of the normal process of distributing content across the Internet. You must assume that your web-viewing or web-use activity is monitored, tracked, and information collected. This information is not usually of a personal nature, but it may help define your viewing habits and product preferences even though the website may or may not have the foggiest notion who you are.
  
  
• INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM COOKIES
  The term "Cookie" is web jargon for small bits of textual data placed on and retrieved from your hard drive by a web site. Websites use this to keep you 'logged in', to store your preferences, to keep track of search criteria, to monitor use, to password protect use of the site or use of products sold by the site. Cookies can also be used to obtain information about your computer configuration or your use of your computer. Cookies can be used to electronically gather information about you. Again, it may or may not be personal information, but it is information and by using this site you are expressly giving permission to allow the use of 'cookies' and to use the information gathered from their use to benefit you. You also give permission to collect, archive, retrieve, and use any information collected for product design, product offers to you, and general commercial solicitation purposes by this site or joint venture partners, affiliates, and marketing organizations. It is possible for you to deny access to cookies, but doing so may limit your access to this site and its features.
  

By the term "commercial solicitation," we mean our various offers we extend to you for the purchase the goods and services we offer for sale and includes our advertisements, announcements, and other promotional materials. We may maintain a general solicitation database and one or more specialized solicitation databases at our discretion. All information we collect may be captured into one or more of these databases for this purpose. In addition to soliciting you via the content we provide on our website, information thus captured may be used as follows:

• EMAIL ADDRESSES
  If we collected your email address, we may occasionally use it to send you offers and announcements via email.
• PHYSICAL ADDRESSES
  If we collected your physical address (street, city, state, and zipcode), we may occasionally use it to send you direct mail offers and announcements via regular postal mail or courier service.
• TELEPHONE NUMBERS
  If we collected your telephone number, we may occasionally use it for telemarketing purposes.
• FAX NUMBERS
  If we collected your fax number, we may occasionally use it to send you offers and announcements via fax.

We do not purchase, rent, or borrow third party distribution lists nor do we sell, rent, or share your personally identifiable information to third party distribution lists unless you have expressly granted your consent to do so. However, we may borrow or share your personally identifiable information with our affiliated business partners. This type of shared information may include your name, physical address, email address, telephone number, orany other information that could be used to identify you, along with information linked to this information such as your buying habits or preferences. While our actual use of any information we collect is quite conservative, you must assume that it is not. Unless we tell you otherwise, you must assume that information collected is shared with third parties for commercial purposes. While this is uncommon in practice, you must assume so as you make your decision whether or not to view or interact with this or any other website.

However, you give us express permission to use it in fraud investigation or for litigation against you.

Your use of any bulletin boards or other public forums, including social media, chat rooms or instant messenger services, provided by us is at your own risk. You may not assume that we monitor these services or protect you in any manner from information you post publicly or share with anyone else via these services. The term 'Social Media' includes, but is not limited to Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterst.

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act), 15 U.S.C. 7701 et seq. requires all commercial emailers to ensure that email headers are true and accurate, that subject lines are not misleading, that the content is clearly identified as an advertisement, that a working opt-out method is provided, and that a valid physical address is furnished.

All commercial email messages we sent to our general or special solicitation distribution lists will always comply with these requirements. You will only receive these messages if you have provided us with information that forms the basis of communication with you, such as an email address. You agree to waive all rights to file complaints concerning unsolicited email or spam from us since, by providing such information, you agree to receive communication from us or other related marketing organizations you have approved. However, all email communication we send  you will always contain an 'unsubscribe' link where you may notify us that you no longer wish to receive solicitations or information from us (i.e. to opt-out) and your name will be removed from our solicitation databases within a reasonable time. If you choose to opt-out, you will not receive notices of updates, special offers, prices, and deals, new or related product announcements or other promotional material from us. Should you continue to receive unwanted commercial email from us after unsubscribing, please send a printed copy of the message you received to our Designated Agent by mail and so we can promptly investigate and take corrective action.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. 6501 et. seq., requires commercial website operators providing content targeted to children under the age of thirteen to publish its privacy policy describing the information collected from its users, to acquire parental consent prior to collection of information from children under age thirteen, and to disclose any such information to parents on request. In addition, it allows parents to revoke their consent and have information removed, limits the information that is collectable, and requires protection of the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information collected from children.

We do not provide any content specifically targeted toward children under the age of thirteen (13). Nonetheless, it is possible that a child under age thirteen could visit and interact with the features of our website. Our policy, without exception, is that children under age thirteen may not access our content without parental consent and supervision.
