A NOTE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS (ONLINE PRIVACY
PROTECTION ACT OF 2003 --OPPA)

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

specified herein.
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.
