Section 1.01 -- Principles: We may gather and use information as follows:
(1) Notice: We may gather and use information as follows:
(a) Volunteered Information: We will receive and store any information you enter on the Web
Site or give us in any other way that personally identifies you to improve your experience at
the Web Site, to get a better general understanding of the type of individuals visiting the Web
Site, and to enable us to contact you when needed. Typically you will provide information on
the Web Site for the purchase of products or services or when you submit comments or
questions for review by us.
(b) Automatic Information: To enable us to provide content that users need and desire, we
collect aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. A Cookie is simply a small data file
we place on your computer’s hard drive when you first visit the Web Site (“Cookie”). This file
contains a unique number that helps us identify you when you return to the Web Site. Cookies
are employed by thousands of web sites to enhance users’ web viewing experience. Cookies
can neither damage user files nor can they read information from users’ hard drives. We
combine all usage information provided by such Cookies and we do not monitor your use of
the Web Site. Allowing us to create a Cookie on your hard drive will not give us or any other
site access to the rest of your computer’s hard drive, and only we will be able to read the
Cookie that the Web Site creates.
(c) Information Use: We use information for personal identification; to get a better general
understanding of the type of individuals visiting the Web Site; to respond to your requests for
purchases, comments, or questions; to improve your experience at the Web Site; to collect
aggregated site-visitation statistics; and to alert you to product enhancements, special offers,
updated information, and other new services from us. We also use information to alert you of
subscription renewal discounts, to automatically renew your subscription and advise you of
upcoming service offerings and events.
We may disclose information to third parties, including selling or disclosing customer lists to
commercial or charitable users thereof. Disclosure for such purposes is limited to your name, company, position, address, phone and fax numbers, and web site and email addresses. If you
do not wish to have such information disclosed, please let us know by contacting us. To
enable us to process your request, please include your name and address. Once properly
notified, we will remove your name from the lists and disclosures as soon as we practicably
can in the course of normal business practices.
When you order products or services from us, we ask for your credit card number and billing
address. We use this information only to bill you for the products or services you order at that
time and for no other purpose. Annual subscriptions are payable on the purchase date of the
Subscription and renew automatically each anniversary unless canceled in writing thirty days
in advance of each anniversary date.
Any user questions or comments submitted to us may become available in the public sections
of the Web Site, including a section entitled “Frequently Asked Questions,” immediately after
such questions or comments are submitted to us. If we publicize any user questions, such
questions will not contain facts that identify the user or the specific parties involved. We also
reserve the right to use any user comments submitted to us for promotional purposes and by
submitting such comments to us you agree that we may do so.
We may release any user information if required to comply with law; to enforce or to apply
the Web Site Terms and Conditions; or under the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise
necessary or advisable including, without limitation, to protect the rights, properties, or
safety of us or our users.
(2) Choice: We give you a choice as to the type and amount of private information we have,
as follows:
(a) Volunteered Information: You can always choose not to provide certain information to us.
If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still use many parts of the Web
Site. However, you will not be able to purchase products and services and you will not be able
to take advantage of many of our features. If you have previously provided certain
information to us and you desire to remove such information from our databases, or if you do
not wish for your information to be disclosed to third parties, you may contact us to remove
such information.
(b) Automatic Information: Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but if you
prefer, you can edit your browser options to block Cookies in the future. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will explain how you can prevent your browser from
accepting new Cookies, how to set the browser to inform you when you receive a new Cookie,
or how to reject Cookies altogether.
(3) Access: We provide you with the ability to ensure that your personal information is correct
and current. You may review and update your personal information by contacting us. For
security purposes, we require user verification via user’s user name and password to receive
personal information.
(4) Security: We protect the security of your personal information. We take steps to protect
your data from loss, misuse, alteration, destruction, or unauthorized access. We use
sophisticated security technologies to secure users’ ordering information, user name, and
password. We encrypt users’ ordering information, user name, and password (including users’
credit card account number) using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology. SSL is a proven
coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you
send it to us. To support this technology, users must have an SSL-capable browser. SSL is one
of the safest encryption technologies available. While we use such sophisticated security
technology to secure users’ ordering information, user name, and password, we cannot
guarantee that any electronic commerce is totally secure.
Section 2.01 -- User Safeguards: You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your user
name, password, and any account information. It is important for you to be responsible and
protect your user name, password, and computer against unauthorized users. It is important
to sign off when you have completed using a computer accessible by others.

at least eighteen years old. If a child has provided us with personal information, that child’s
parent or guardian should contact us to delete such information from our records.
