Privacy Policy

We respect our customers, and understand that you are concerned about privacy. We have instituted policies intended to ensure that your personal information is always handled in a safe and secure manner.

We gather customer information to improve the content on our site, to enhance your online shopping experience and for our own marketing and promotional purposes. Such information includes customer information gathered in the course of processing sales transactions, and from information provided by customers in response to surveys, sweepstakes, etc. that may be held on our site from time to time.

Our online shopping cart system may at times place 'cookies' within your browser's cache. This will occur strictly for the purposes of keeping track of items you have placed into your online shopping cart; they are not used for any other purpose.

We will not share this information with any outside business or organization without your permission, except when expediting the fulfillment and/or shipment of an merchandise order or return. We may, however, retain your postal and/or email address information in order to send information to you about our own special product orders, etc.

Children's Privacy

Attention U.S. Customers: The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which took effect on April 21, 2000, imposes certain requirements on websites directed toward children under 13 that collect information on those children, or on websites that know they are collecting information on children under the age of 13.

It is currently our policy not to collect information from children under the age of 18 (age 21 in the case of certain products dealing with matters of a sexual or intimate nature). For this reason, all online purchases, surveys, sweepstakes, etc. are limited to persons age 18 and over. This policy applies to residents of all nations and territories as well as to residents of the United States.
