A NOTE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS (ONLINE PRIVACY
PROTECTION ACT OF 2003 --OPPA)
It is the intent of the Privacy Policy to
comply with the California Act. Various provisions throughout
this Privacy Policy address requirements of the act. In
summary, you must presume that we collect electronic information
from all visitors. This is not usually personally identifiable.
If you purchase a product or service via this website
(and thereby become covered by the Act), the purchase
agreement you electronically sign prior to purchase allows
the website to collect and archive all the personal information
you provide and to transmit and/or transfer that personal
information to third parties. There is no way you can
modify this information and you have no right to do so.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, you have no
right to view or receive any information about our database.
In the event that the website, under advice of counsel
agrees to divulge information, the requesting party must
submit whatever information is demanded by the website
in insure that the website is releasing information to
the correct party. Other provisions of the OPPA may exempt
this website from complying. While we take measures to
ensure that outside parties do not have access to any
information we have about you, we do not warranty that
outside parties will not breach our system and thus have
access to your information. (You should know that merchant
service providers do not allow us access to your credit
card information.) This Privacy Policy also is subject
to change without notice. You are required to read it
prior to using the website. By interacting with the website
you agree to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy.
By using the website or purchasing a product through this
website, you waive the right to use state or federal court
systems to address complaints and, instead, agree to use

ABOUT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND
HOW IT IS USED
This website routinely collects information
about its visitors, subscribers, members, and customers.
This information is obtained in various ways, such as:
VISITOR, SUBSCRIBER, MEMBER, OR CUSTOMER
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM 'REGISTRATION'
Registration means that the Visitor, Subscriber,
Member or Customer takes active, positive steps to communicate
information to this website. This can include pages or
'pop ups' where you register for a newsletter or subscribe
to a mailing list; it can include your participation in
visitor surveys; it can include requesting information
from the website via email, mail, or courier; it may be
from joining an affiliate program or other membership
organization, paid or unpaid; it may be from ordering
a product.
Occasionally complete credit card information
may be provided to the website via 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.
ONLINE ORDERING
Online ordering via SSL encrypted communication
provided by shopping cart services supporting merchant
service companies like Visa and Master Card provides information
to the website but does not provide complete credit card
numbers. In the process of online ordering, the customer
provides, name, address, city, state, email address, phone
number, CVV2 (back of card) number, and, occasionally
a member password. You should consider all this information
available to the website. This information is used to
deliver the product, but under the Purchase Agreement
you also approve its use for general solicitation purposes.
VISITOR EMAIL INQUIRIES
Website visitors who wish to communicate
with the website do so under two conditions: one, they
give their permission for contact by the website; two,
they are subject to any ‘submission’ provisions
of the Terms of Use, Purchase Agreement, or this Privacy
Policy. While your email address may or may not be used
to solicit you, it is added to the website's general solicitation
database.
CUSTOMER EMAIL OR TESTIMONIALS
If you are a customer and send an email
to the website, or if you communicate with the site by
phone or mail, the website collects information about
your communication and by communicating with the site
you give your permission to collect, archive, retrieve,
and otherwise use any information collected as the site
sees fit.
Any communication which, in its sole discretion,
the site deems to be a testimonial, may be publicized
for commercial purposes.

WITH BANNERS, POPUPS, OR SITE ADVERTISERS
Visitors clicking on banners or pop-ups
or hyperlinked advertising, appearing on this website
