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

requirements of the act. In summary, you must presume that we collect
electronic information from all visitors. This is not usually personally

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

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

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

be used to solicit you, it is added to the website's general solicitation
database.
