It is the policy of this site to respect and protect the privacy of our
customers and the users of this site. Through this Internet Privacy
Statement, we want to reassure users of this site that we will not sell, share,
or rent user information to others in a manner different than as set forth in
this Internet Privacy Statement.
A Note About Kids Under 13
Minors under the age of 13 are not eligible to use our service, and we ask that
minors do not submit any personal information to us. If you are a minor under
the age of 13, you must ask your parents to use this service on your behalf.
Placing Orders and Information Collection
We collect information from the users of the Site at several different points
on the Site. For example, we collect and/or request information when a user
registers on the Site or places an order.
In order to fulfill requests of the Site, the user may be requested to provide
contact and/or credit card information. If we have trouble processing an order,
a request, or completing a delivery, this contact information will be used to
contact the user.
Gathering and Sharing of Information, Links to External Websites
We monitor traffic patterns on the Site and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use to analyze trends and administer the Site in
order to improve its layout and design and to permit Site personalization and
streamlining to create the best ordering experience we can for our users. These
statistics include no personally identifying information.
We may use a credit card processing company to bill purchasers from the Site,
and depending upon the goods and services being ordered and where they are
being shipped, we may also use outside suppliers and/or delivery companies to
assist us in fulfilling and delivering orders. We share with them the
information necessary to enable such card processing, fulfillment, and delivery
of goods (i.e. – name, address, and as appropriate, payment information).
We may provide personal identifying and account information in special cases
such as enforcement of our Terms of Site Use, or as required by law or legal
process to protect and defend the rights and safety of our Site and its users.
This includes exchanging information with other companies for purposes of fraud
and credit risk reduction.

By using our Site, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Internet Privacy Statement and the Site Terms of Use INCLUDING ALL LIMITATIONS
OF DAMAGES PROVISIONS which are an integral part hereof and the user consents
to the collection and use of this information by us as disclosed in this
Internet Privacy Statement. We may revise this Internet Privacy Statement or
the Site Terms of Use at any time by updating these postings. By using this
Site you agree to be bound by any such revisions in effect at the time of use
and should therefore periodically visit this page and the Site Terms of Use

Security Information
Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users of our
Site. When users submit sensitive information via the Site, that Information is
protected both online and off-line.
We take credit card information security seriously and use a variety of
technical solutions to make shopping safe at our Site. Furthermore, your
information is encrypted and is protected utilizing the industry standard
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page, such as
our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
protect user- information off-line. All of the information of our Site's users,
including the sensitive information mentioned above, is stored where there are
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the
information. Only those who need the information to perform a specific job are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
Cookies
You may have heard of the term "cookies". Cookies are routinely used by most,
if not all, e-commerce merchants, including this site. A cookie is a piece of
data stored on a user's hard drive through the Web browser program containing
information about the user which enables us to track and personalize the Site
to enhance your experience. If a user rejects the cookie, the Site will not
function correctly.
Special Offers, Account Updates and Opting Out
We may from time to time send our customers and the users of the Site
announcements and updates, which contain important information about the Site
and service offerings which we believe to be of value to our customers and
users. In order to do this, we may enhance or merge the information we collect
on the Site with data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or
services to our customers and users.
We may communicate with the users of the Site via email, telephone, mail, or
fax in order to provide requested services, content, product information,
notification of special offers, or in regard to customer service issues
relating to an account. The users of the Site are always given the opportunity
to 'opt-out' of having their online information used for purposes not directly
related to the Site at the point at which we ask for the information or when
they receive an online requested promotional communication.
Users of the Site can always update the personally identifying information that
they have provided by accessing and updating their account information on the
Site.
We welcome your questions and comments. If you have any questions or concerns
