Privacy
Policy Terms and Conditions Charity Blends, LLC(CB) CB is proud to support of the following key principles:
Thank you for visiting a site owned and operated by Charity Blends. CB is committed to providing fun, safe, informative and secure sites for people of all ages. We are very sensitive to the privacy concerns of the visitors to our sites and recognize that you are concerned about the information you provide us, and how we treat that information. Because some of our visitors are children, we take special care to ensure that our content is appropriate for children and, we take steps to help protect their privacy. As a result, we developed this Privacy Policy to address your concerns and explain certain choices you can make about the manner in which your information is collected and used at our sites. As we continue to offer our visitors new and different types of content and services, we may modify our practices from time to time. However, all personally identifiable information will be treated in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time the information is collected. INFORMATION COLLECTED As a general policy, we have designed our sites to minimize the amount of personal information collected and request only the information that is required to ensure that visitors can effectively participate in our activities and events. No personal information is collected from visitors to this site unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. At some CB sites, you can order products, gift items, enter contests, subscribe to services or otherwise respond to certain offers and opportunities we make available. In order to provide these services, items, information, articles or subscriptions, it may be necessary for you to voluntarily provide some of the following types of personally identifiable information: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs and services. At certain sites, you can request that items, products or information be sent directly to other recipients. It may be necessary for you to provide their name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. If you order products or gift items, you may be requested to provide credit card information. All information received in connection with such orders will be handled in the manner specified in our Security Statement. We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit one of our web pages, as part of the standard operation of our server ("Cookie" technology). The "Cookie Technology" doesn't personally identify you or extract any information from your computer. Such information is used to provide an enhanced online experience, and may include: the name of the ISP from which you access the Internet, the date and time you accessed the site, the Internet address of the Site from which you enter our site and where you go after you leave our site. Data which would personally identify you is known only when voluntarily submitted. HOW WE USE THAT INFORMATION If you voluntarily provide us with any requested information, we generally use that information for internal purposes only, such as to fulfill your request for our products, items and to provide the services you have requested. In addition, we may use this information to communicate directly with you, such as to respond to your inquiries, to inform you when you have won one of our contests, to fulfill a request for an online newsletter or other online subscription service, or to offer you additional information about our other products, programs, services, promotions or offers that we believe may be of interest to you. Such responses will include information on how to opt out from receiving further information or services. Our sites sometimes include notices of promotions we are conducting, and we may permit you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion. Within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the promotion, the personal information will be deleted from our database, unless you have agreed to permit us to keep it and to contact you about other products, programs, services or offers. Certain information we receive online may on occasion be combined with our other records to enhance our ability to market those products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We never sell, rent or otherwise share any personal information we obtain with third parties, unless we have explicitly notified you that we intend to do so. Sometimes we use agents or contractors for processing or fulfillment. Such agents or contractors are required to use the information only for purposes of carrying out the services they are performing for CB. In addition, we sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information ("Cookie Technology") to provide an enhanced online experience, and to measure and monitor the use of our site and to improve its design and content. We may have to disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal requests, for example court orders, subpoenas or specific requests from law enforcement agencies. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy. However, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to help prevent the unauthorized access and use of the information we collect online. CHILDRENS PRIVACY POLICY We are especially interested in protecting the interests of children. We believe that parents have the ultimate responsibility to supervise their children's online activities, in order to ensure that children have a safe and rewarding experience. We urge parents to discuss the online release of personal information with their children and we urge children to check with their parents before entering information on any site. Some portions of our sites are directed in whole or in part to children under 13. In those areas, our conduct is governed by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and other laws and regulations that address children's online privacy. In the portions of our sites directed at children, we have built in some safeguards to protect the privacy of children and to ensure that any information that is gathered is done so in a manner that is permitted by Federal regulations. When a child under 13 enters a contest or sweepstakes, asks to receive an e-mail newsletter, or requests to participate in other activities or receive other services that require the use of personal information, we will also ask for a parent's e-mail address so that we can notify the parent that we have received personal information from their child. We then provide the parent the option to consent to or withdraw the entry or request and remove their child's information from the database. If the parent permits the entry or participation, we will not use the personal information for any purpose other than completion of the promotion or participation in the activity, and we do not share the information with third parties (other than agents or contractors necessary for fulfillment services), unless we have explicitly said so in the notice to parents. We will delete the child's information from our database within a reasonable time after the conclusion of these promotions, unless the parent has given us permission to retain the information in our records. We might permit a child to send us an e-mail. We will respond to such e-mails, but we do not store the names, addresses or e-mails themselves in our databases, nor do we share it with third parties (other than for fulfillment services). Upon proper identification, any parent can review any personal information we have collected from their children, if we are still maintaining the information in our database, by following the procedures outlined in the ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION section below. THIRD PARTY SITES Our site may contain links with other sites whose information and privacy practices are different from ours. Sometimes these sites might conduct contests or promotions that are promoted on our sites. You should consult their Privacy Policy since these sites are not governed by our Policy, and may adopt different procedures for the handling of information. ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION Please contact us at the address indicated below if you have any comments or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy and/or practices. In addition, you may contact us at that address if you wish to do any of the following:
Please be sure to include your e-mail address or mailing address, and a telephone number, where we can reach you. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the personal information that we collect and maintain about your child. CONTACT INFORMATION If you have any questions, comments or concerns about our Privacy Policy, you can contact us at: Charity Blends We will be happy to answer your questions.

This site is owned by Charity Blends and any
of the images, text, audio, or other comments (basically everything you see,
read or hear on this site) is copyrighted by Charity Blends and may only
be used in the manner provided for in these Terms and Conditions. DISCLAIMERS While Charity Blends has worked diligently to provide you with accurate and updated information in this site, we cannot be absolutely certain that everything on this site is free of errors or omissions. Therefore, we will not be liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of your

this site is provided to you "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
FURTHER, CB DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THIS SITE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT
AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF COMPUTER "VIRUSES." Furthermore, the site is operated from the United States, and some of the software that may be downloaded from the site could be subject to governmental export control or other restrictions. If you download any software, you represent and warrant that you are not subject to any such restrictions. USE OF COMMUNICATIONS Any communications or information you transmit to this site will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In general, such information should not be considered by you to be confidential or proprietary. While we welcome your comments and feedback (through regular old snail mail or over the telephone) with respect to this site or any of our products, our lawyers have asked us to remind you that we are not seeking any unsolicited ideas, suggestions or materials related to the development, design, manufacture or marketing of our products. This is intended to avoid confusion about the ownership of new ideas and concepts and to help protect you. If you send us any proposed ideas or other such information, you must understand that it will be treated as non-proprietary and non-confidential, and it will become the sole and exclusive property of CB and may be used by CB for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation. LINKS As you may have noticed, we have provided some links to other sites that we thought might be of interest to you. Some of the sites are operated by CB. Unfortunately, we have not reviewed all of the sites in great detail, and cannot be responsible for the content, nor do we endorse the materials presented on those sites which are not operated by CB. MISCELLANEOUS
Here are a few more terms and conditions which are
applicable: If any provision of this agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This statement sets forth the entire agreement regarding all of the matters discussed in this statement. However, you should check out our Privacy Policy for additional statements that form a part of this Agreement. By law, these terms and conditions may change at any time. You will be required to comply with such revisions and therefore should periodically visit this section to review the current terms and conditions to which you are bound. However, we think it's much more exciting to periodically visit this site because we will be constantly updating it with new information about our company and its products. SECURITY STATEMENT
Order Forms When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. The Netscape® Navigator and the Microsoft® Internet Explorer browsers have built-in security mechanisms to prevent users from unwittingly submitting their personal information over insecure channels. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape® Navigator and Microsoft® Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing.' The URL in the browser window displays "https" at the beginning instead of "http" While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure locked environment. Copyright © 2002-2003 Charity Blends, LLC. All rights
