 Questions or notices concerning these Terms of Use should be addressed to Us.
 
 PRIVACY POLICY
 
 We value your privacy. 
      We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal 
      information. In general, you can view this web site without telling Us who 
      you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, 
      however, when We may need information from you, such as your name, 
      location and email address. We use the information you provide about 
      yourself or someone else when submitting a message, joining a club, or 
      other submission.
 
 Your IP address is collected when you visit Our site.
      This IP address is associated with the Internet Service Provider (ISP), 
      company, or university through which you connect to the Internet, and will 
      likely change every time you log on to the Internet.  We use IP addresses 
      to measure the site's traffic, and may also use IP addresses to target
      advertisements to a particular geographic area.
 
 We never use or share 
      the personally identifiable information provided to Us online in ways 
      unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an 
      opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
 
 This Privacy Policy 
      applies differently to individuals under certain ages. We ask that parents 
      and guardians take some time to review this policy as it may apply to 
      their children, as set forth under the heading "Maintaining the Privacy of 
      Children." By using this web site, you are agreeing to the policies set 
      forth below and the current terms & Conditions ("Terms & 
      Conditions"), set forth on this page.
 
 We reserve the right 
      to modify, amend or restate this Privacy Policy from time to time with or 
      without prior notice. Your use of this web site after the posting of 
      modifications to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of 
      the Privacy Policy as modified.
 
 What Information Do 
      We Collect?
 
 We collect information 
      in several ways during your visits to Our web site. Some personal 
      information is collected when you sign up to receive a newsletter, join a 
      club, send a message or enter a contest. Or you may provide personal 
      information when signing up for any promotions offered on Our web site 
      from time to time. When you contact us, We may also keep a record of that 
      correspondence. Also, when you make a purchase on Our site, We may also 
      keep a record of that transaction.
 
 We will endeavor to 
      provide a link to Our current Privacy Policy on pages where personal 
      information may be requested.
 
 Individuals are free 
      to use this web site without participating in any electronic submission 
      that requests your personal information, and thereby avoid providing 
      personally identifiable information.
 
 What Are Cookies 
      and How Do We Use Them?
 
 A "cookie" is 
      information that is transferred from a web site's server to your 
      computer's browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. This 
      information is then available to the web site's server when you return to 
      that site using the same browser. This information can be used to identify 
      the user of the browser visiting the site and record, for example, 
      preferences and usage in general.
 
 Most web sites use 
      cookies to customize the online experience based on an individual's 
      interests and preferences and in order to streamline transactions by 
      recording frequently entered information. We use cookies to assess which 
      parts of Our web site are popular and which are not. Our updates to the 
      web site will depend in part on data compiled from Our use of cookies, 
      such as total numbers of visitors, pages viewed and other traffic 
      patterns.
 
 We may in the future 
      use cookies to assist returning visitors and customers in other ways. At 
      such time, We will update Our Privacy Policy accordingly. We do not use 
      cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally 
      sent in a cookie. You may also receive cookies sent by Our advertisers, 
      which is a standard practice for online advertisers. In most cases, if you 
      choose, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you to their 
      transfer to your browser.
 
 How is My 
      Information Used?
 
 We currently use 
      personal information only for the purposes of providing electronic 
      exchanges of information, specifically requested by the user.  In 
      certain cases, you may provide Us with your name, location and email 
      address to submit a message or join a club. We use and transmit this 
      information only to the extent necessary to complete such submission and 
      ensuing action or response.
 
 We currently do not 
      provide your personal information to third parties. We do however reserve 
      the right to provide email addresses of Our users to Our advertisers, 
      sponsors or business partners, in order to provide Our users with 
      information and promotions We believe may be of interest to them. We offer 
      the opportunity to each of its registered users to be excluded from such 
      distributions by following the clear and concise instructions for removal 
      or unsubscribe at the bottom of any and all bulk communications such as 
      newsletters and special offers.
 
 Maintaining the 
      Privacy of Children
 
 We encourage parents 
      and guardians to review in advance the appropriateness of the different 
      areas of Our web site for their children. As described above, We may 
      collect information from individuals visiting its web site who may, among 
      other ways, register for a service, submit a message or enter a 
      sweepstakes or contest. We will not knowingly collect any personally 
      identifiable information from children under certain ages, typically under 
      the age of 13 years old.
 
 To this end, We have 
      created systems that request a voluntary honesty confirmation that the 
      user is over a certain age, prior to the information being submitted to 
      us.  Therefore, these visitors may not be eligible to participate in 
      certain services offered on the web site. We intend not to participate in 
      the transfer of any personal information of persons under a certain age 
      for any purpose. However, since this is a voluntary system, based on 
      honesty, these systems are not foolproof.
 
 How do We Protect 
      Your Personal Information?
 
 To prevent 
      unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of 
      information, We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and 
      managerial procedures to safeguard the information We collect 
      online.  Personal information is stored in a secure MySQL 
      database, behind a firewall, and not accessible to the web.
