This site strives to offer its visitors
the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an

rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information
depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which
you elect to participate and the services provided. For example,
you may be asked to provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive
areas of our site. Like most Web sites, our company also
collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider
or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do
you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may
be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not
be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect
information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that
does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For
example, we may combine information about your usage patterns
with similar information obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable
Information collected on this site to communicate with you about
your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
this site and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information
collected by this site may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from
time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may
sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the
transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are
reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the
collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
This site expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users.
Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our
site you may link to, or view as part of a frame of content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
our company web sites you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. This site is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third
parties when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers,
promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences
or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies
that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our
site may offer services operated by third parties and may use
cookies or other technology to gather information. This site
does not control the use of this technology by third parties or
the resulting information, and is not responsible for any
actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you
voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without
our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of this site and this policy.
Children
This site does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about
children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we
have received any information from a child under 13 in violation
of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If
you believe this site has any information from or about anyone
under 13, please contact us using the methods listed below.

Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to change this policy
at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes
to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information
collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used
according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the
information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are
governed by British law. If a dispute arises under this Policy
we agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually
agreed-upon mediator in the following location: England. Any
costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the
mediation will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a
mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to
submit the dispute to binding arbitration at the following
location: England, under the rules of the British Arbitration
Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration
may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
This statement and the policies outlined
herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or
other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
