Our Commitment To Your Privacy

We respect the privacy of every person who visits our websites or responds to our advertisements. This Privacy Statement outlines the information we will collect via our website and how that information will be used. This Statement will also instruct you on what to do if you do not want this information collected or used in any way. Any changes to the privacy statement will always be posted onto the websites.

The Information That We Collect

Certain information is collected automatically when anyone visits the website. This information cannot identify you personally. Examples of this type of information include:

• the type of internet browser you are using
• the type of computer operating system you are using
• the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site
• the time you visited the site
• the pages you visited.

Personal information is only collected when you fill in a registration or order form on the website. This information will assist us should you order any products or services from ourselves. It is also used in our marketing efforts for specific promotional opportunities, including informing you of new products that we believe should be of interest. By providing personal information, we assume you agree to be placed on marketing lists and may receive promotional notices from ourselves, unless you specifically ask to be removed from such lists by ticking the box provided on the forms.

Information Sharing

Information about you will be used to deliver the products or services you requested from ourselves. We will never send personally identifiable information about you to any other organisation without your specific consent received on each occasion. Any such information sharing will only be for the purpose of informing you of products and services normally provided via our websites.

Privacy of Children

We have no intention of collecting any personal information (including address, telephone number, or email address) from individuals under 18 years of age. We will never provide information of a racist, sexist, aggressive or otherwise unsuitable content via the website to any person, regardless of age.

What Are Cookies and How Are They Used?

When you register with us your browser will need to be set to accept cookies. A cookie is a tiny text file placed on your hard drive. It allows us to identify your computer and your preferences. In this way we can remember information from your previous visits (such as your favourite products) or activities you have carried out on our site. The cookies can only contain data you have told us about yourself or that relates specifically to your actions on our website. Cookies cannot be used to examine your computer or to read data from it. Cookies cannot transmit a virus or do damage to your system. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. By clicking on the Help portion of your browser's menu bar, you can learn how to reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. We do not subscribe to any spyware or similar systems of an invasive nature.
We may use cookies to provide special promotions to registered members. Cookies may be used to track an individual user's movement throughout the site anonymously as a means to gauge the popularity and success of individual promotions, products and special offers.

How Can I Disable Cookies?

All of the popular browsers allow some level of cookie verification or choice. Netscape 3.0 and MSIE 3.0 allow you only an "alert before accepting cookies." This way you can voluntarily choose not to visit a site or areas of a site that use cookies. Be aware, however, that some parts of our websites may not function if you choose to refuse cookies. To be alerted about accepting cookies, please follow one of these procedures for the popular browsers:

• Internet Explorer 5.0/6.0: Go to the "Tools" menu, then to "Internet Options," then to "Security," then to "Custom Level." In the "Cookies" section, go to the "Allow cookies that are stored on your machine" sub-section and select "Prompt."
• Internet Explorer 4.0: Go to the "View" menu, then to "Internet Options," then to "Advanced." Check the box that says, "Prompt before accepting cookies."
• Internet Explorer 3.0: Go to the "View" menu, then to "Options," then to "Advanced." Check the box that says, "Warn before accepting cookies."
• Netscape 6.0: Go to "Edit" in the menu bar, then to "Preferences," then to "Advanced," then to "Cookies." Check the box that says, "Warn me before accepting a cookie."
• Netscape Navigator 4.x: Go to "Edit" in the menu bar, then to "Preferences," then to "Advanced." Check the box that says, "Warn me before accepting a cookie."
• Netscape Navigator 3.0: Go to the "Options" menu, then select "Network Preferences," and then "Protocols." Check the box that says, "Show an alert before accepting a cookie."
• Mozilla 1.x: Open the "Edit" menu, and select Preferences. Under the "Privacy & Security" category, choose "Cookies" (If no subcategories are visible, double-click the category to expand the list.) You can then choose one of the following options: - Disable cookies (Choose this to refuse all cookies) - Enable cookies for the originating website only - Enable all cookies. If you want to be notified when a website tries to set a cookie, select "Warn me before storing a cookie."

Firewalls are also configurable to allow cookies with varying degrees of control. Our sites should be set to allow all cookies. Firewalls can also be set to prevent pop-up advertisements. Our sites do not use pop-ups. Mobile control settings can be used to prevent javascript operations. Our sites use javascript for a number of menu actions.

External Sites and Links

Any third party Internet sites or services that may be accessible from our websites, for instance via advertisements or given links, have separate privacy and data collection practices that are completely independent of us. We have no responsibility or liability for these independent websites, for their products and services, or for their policies and actions. A link to an external website does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, approval or responsibility for the content, or the use of such third-party websites. We make no representation or warranty as to any third-party products or services. No rights to use or copy the information on this or the third-party site are granted or implied. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords or any account information when visiting any such sites. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. We recommend that you always use a firewall and virus checker, and that you NEVER email confidential information, such as credit card details or private details - emails are insecure and can be intercepted. Whilst we take effective measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and thus you do so at your own risk. We provide this site and its contents on an "as is" basis and make no representations or warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We hereby acknowledge all tradenames as belonging to their legal owners.

Terms and Conditions

Quantities may be limited. We may, at our own discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased if the order cannot be fulfilled due to stock shortages, product difficulties, supplier problems or other reasons. Notification will be sent to the e-mail and/or the customer address provided should such a change occur. We reserve the right to limit the quantities sold, including the right to limit or prohibit sales to customers at our discretion. Products may only be returned after purchase by prior agreement and with a returns number having been issued by ourselves. Electronic items and books cannot be returned due to copying concerns. These terms and conditions represent the entire agreement between you and ourselves regarding your relationship with ourselves and supercede any prior statements or representations. By using our sites YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. If you are dissatisfied with our sites or any content on our sites or with these Terms and Conditions, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using our sites.

Site Warranty

While we believe the content of our site to be complete, accurate and up to date, we do not guarantee that the descriptive information about the products on our site is complete, accurate and up to date. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered, and we reserve the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted, and whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card has been charged. If your credit card has already been charged for a purchase and your order has been cancelled, we will issue a credit to your credit card account for the amount of the charge. Your use of this website is at your own risk. In no event shall we be held liable for direct, indirect, exemplary, or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to loss of use, data, or profits, without regard to the form of any action, including but not limited to contract, negligence, or other tortuous actions, all arising from any product or service purchased from ourselves. By your use of this website, you agree that the sole and exclusive maximum liability to ourselves arising from any product or service sold from our website shall be the price of the product or service ordered plus shipping and handling charges. If any part of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then the aggregate liability of ourselves shall not exceed fifty pounds sterling (£50).
