| PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: June 20th, 2009
Our Association strives to offer
its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to
provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or 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 website 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 our company website to communicate with you about
your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service
and privacy policy; services and products offered by
our company and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
our company website 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
Our company 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 on our company web pages,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through our company you may be introduced to, or
be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. Our company 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.
Our company 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 our company
and this policy.
Children
Our company 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
our company has any information from or about anyone
under 13, please contact us at the address listed below.

Changes to this Policy
Our company reserves 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 Nevada 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: Orange County,
Nevada, United States of America. 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: Henderson, Nevada, United States of America, under
the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court with
jurisdiction to do so.
Our company is controlled, operated
and administered entirely within Nevada. 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.
