which may have different terms of use. We do not own, control, manage,

of ay third party site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of the third party site. Once you link to another site, you are subject
to the privacy policy of that site. We encourage you to be aware when you are
leaving this site to read the privacy statements of each and every website that
you visit before providing any personally identifiable information.
TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS. All trademarks, service marks, and logos or
copyrights displayed and used in this site are the property of their respective
owners. Nothing in this site should be construed as granting any right or
license to use any Trademark without the written permission of its owner.
PERSONAL INFORMATION. A visitor can access and browse portions of our site at
any time without providing any personal information. We do not collect
information that would personally identify you unless you choose to provide it.
In addition, We do not share any personally identifiable information of any
individual with any third party unrelated to us, except in situations where we
must provide information for legal purposes or investigations, or if so directed
by you specifically.
FORMS: Our website contains forms through which users may request information or
supply feedback to us. In some cases, telephone numbers, email addresses or
return addresses are required so that we can supply requested information to
you, and in other cases, correct names and addresses are required to process
credit card payments.
After you fill out a form, we may contact you with follow-up information (unless
you have checked an "opt-out" box on the form). We do not provide any
information supplied on our web forms to any outside organization for any reason
(other than where we may be required to by law, or as necessary to process
credit card information). We do not save this personal information for any other
reason.
Surveys: Occasionally, we may survey visitors to our site. The information from
these surveys is used in aggregate form to help us understand the needs of our
visitors so that we can improve our site. We generally do not ask for
information in surveys that would personally identify you. If we do request
contact information for follow-up, you may decline to provide it. If survey
respondents provide personal information (such as an email address) in a survey,
it is shared only with those people who need to see it to respond to the
question or request.
Email: "Phishing" is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you
receive an email that looks like it is from us asking you for your personal
information, do not respond. We will never request your password, user name,
credit card information or other personal information through email. We will
also never email you a clickable link to a logon screen from our site. If you
get an email that appears to be from us with a clickable link to a logon screen,
DO NOT LOG IN. The only way you should ever access any website's logon screen is
by typing in the name of the site directly to your browser.
User Name and Password: In the event you access any Service requiring a User
Name and Password, you are solely responsible for keeping such User Name and
Password strictly confidential.
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION: We collect non-personal information such as website
usage, traffic patterns, site performance and related statistics based on our
tracking of your visits to the website.
IP Addresses: The Web server automatically collects the IP (which stands for
Internet Protocol) address of the computers that access our site. An IP address
is a number that is assigned to your computer when you access the Internet. It
is not truly personally identifiable information because many different
individuals can access the Internet via the same computer. We use this
information in aggregate form to understand how our site is being used and how
we can better serve visitors. Please note that although such information is not
personally identifiable, we can determine from an IP address a visitor's
Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of
connectivity.
First Party Cookies: We collect information about visitors to our site using
"first party cookies”, which are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to
your computer's hard drive through your web browser. Cookies are never
associated with specific personal identities. First party cookies are distinct
from third party cookies that they are created and directly served by the
company hosting the website.
We use two types of “cookies” on this site: (1) We use persistent cookies to
recognize a repeat visitor, enabling us the opportunity to offer the visitor a
set of services or information requested in a previous visit. (2) We use session
cookies to track a visitor's path through our site during a visit, to help us
understand how people use our site. You can delete our cookies at any time. The
"help" section, located on the toolbar of most browsers, will tell you how to
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify
you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether. Since
cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our website's best features,
we recommend that you leave them turned on.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION: Please note that our forms are NOT encrypted to
protect your privacy unless the form specifically states that it is. Please do
not submit information that would cause you harm if released. Once the
information is sent to our site, it is kept in secure databases where it is not
available to users on the Internet. While we sometimes ask for credit card
numbers or certain service transactions, and either pass them on to a credit
card processing service or process them manually, we do not store credit card
numbers online. When we request payment information such as credit cards, those
forms are secure. Please verify that the "lock" appears on your web browser
before continuing.
We periodically review and modify, where appropriate, our security policies and
procedures. We use reasonable care to protect your personally identifiable and
confidential information provided by you to our site. We have in place a
security program that seeks to mitigate this risk substantially.
OWNERSHIP: All Materials are the sole and exclusive property of us unless
otherwise noted, and you acquire no right, license, title or interest therein or
thereto through the use of this website. In no event shall you modify, delete or
change in any way any of our copyright or trademarks or other of our ownership
designations or any Materials.
RIGHT TO USE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE: You may only print one single copy of any
of the materials on this site provided that such materials may only be reprinted
for personal, non commercial use. Otherwise, reproduction of materials in any
form is prohibited except with our prior written permission.
No edits or alterations to the material are permitted. Our copyright notice must
not be removed from any material.
Reprint rights do not allow you to repackage, sell, resell, post on blogs or any
other website, display, republish, reproduce, link or frame or store any
material without expressed written permission.
For multiple copies of any material or other licensing arrangements or
permissions to use any materials, please contact us directly via email or
telephone. Verbal permission is not sufficient to allow permission to use any
material on this site beyond what is listed in this agreement. Any further
permission must be in advance and in writing. No one is authorized to give
verbal permission to change this agreement in any way.
PRE-PAID SERVICES. There are two circumstances under which we will refund fees paid
for pre-paid services:
If a payment is made in error AND no service has been rendered.
or
If services were clearly accepted with a deadline at a rate of $200/hour
(our only rate where a deadline is guaranteed) AND the payment was made in a timely fashion
so that the service could be completed after the payment and before the deadline.
SYSTEM PURCHASES. Refunds for system purchases are limited to misrepresentation.
Verbal representations are not to be relied upon when making an order.
A claim of misrepresentation must be accompanied by evidence of said misrepresentation.
EXCEPTIONS. If we choose to make an exception to this refund policy,
we do not in any way give up our right to adhere to it in full in future occurrences even if the circumstances are identical.
HARDWARE. Hardware warranties are issued by and honored by the Manufacturer of the hardware.
We are not responsible for failed hardware under any circumstances. All warranty repairs and
returns must be handled through the manufacturer of the hardware. We will cooperate in any
way that we reasonably can, but will not be held responsible for any lack of ability or timeliness
of cooperation and if we deem it reasonable we may charge a fee at our sole discretion for any
time or money spent to assist with warranty claims.
SOFTWARE. Open Source software has no warranty of any kind. If we create software or modify existing software (whether Open Source or not),
we warrant that it will work at the time we turn control of the software over to the client. The client will have the opportunity to test the software before acceptance.
We do NOT warrant that it will perform in any way not specified during the order process.
We do NOT warrant that it will continue to operate (without an existing maintenance contract covering said software)
beyond the moment that we no longer have sole control (physical and by remote access in any manner) of the software and the hardware on which it runs. If a client
has purchased a Maintenance Contract from us to maintain software functionality and we find that the client
or any third party has altered said software in any way, we may (at our sole discretion) cancel the contract
and keep any pre-paid fees with no recourse for the client, or charge a fee to "recertify" the software's
functionality and then charge above that fee any other amount as needed to repair any alterations to said software.
We cannot be held responsible for (or be expected to resolve) circumstances beyond our control
(such as connectivity, changes in 3rd party software upon which our software may depend, etc.)
and will not be expected to resolve those issues or issue refunds or expend funds to resolve those issues beyond our control.
Shipping and Delivery charges are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. We do not add fees
to shipping costs except to directly recoup our costs. For instance: if we must purchase a box or packing material,
we will charge these items to the client's account at cost. These fees are all optional to the client
if (in advance of shipping) the client supplies us with a Fedex account or UPS account number
that we can use for shipping or supplies us with a pre-paid shipping label for the product.
If the client has therefor pre-paid the shipping with the carrier,
we will ordinarily waive any packaging costs (at our sole discretion, on a case by case basis). Also,
if we must drive to a shipping facility due to a short deadline at the request of the client,
we will charge a trip fee to cover the courier cost which may include a profit for the courier.
Insurance is required for all shipments. Any damage during shipment must be resolved with the carrier. We will cooperate in any way that we can with any inquiry regarding shipping damage, but will not be held responsible for any action (or lack thereof) or decision (or lack thereof) of the carrier.
