Links to Other Websites

Our websites also contain links to third party websites. These linked websites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the contents of any such linked website, or any link contained in any linked website. We provide such links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of a link on our websites does not imply our endorsement of the linked website.

Security

We seek to have security measures and tools, such as firewalls, in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

Access to this information is available to you through a unique user name and password. The password is encrypted and we recommend that you not divulge it to anyone.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect personal information you provide to us, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with our websites or that is stored by us. You acknowledge and agree that any information you transmit through our websites or upload for storage in connection with our websites is so transmitted or stored at your own risk.

When you order products or services or upload content through our websites, you will create a unique user name and password. We recommend that you not divulge the password to anyone. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at the address, telephone number or email address listed above (note that if you choose to notify us via physical mail, this will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).

Opting Out/Discontinuation

If you do not want to continue receiving marketing-related emails from us, you may opt out of receiving these messages by using the opt-out mechanism in these emails or by contacting us at the address listed above.
