This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process and distribute your information, including “Personal Information” (defined below), used to access this Site.

Transfer of Information Across National Borders: Our Site and various information we collect may be operated on servers located in and outside of the United States.  When you access or use the Site and/or our services, personal information about you may be transferred outside the country in which you are situated to these other locations. The Company’s policies ensure that such personal information is protected to the same standard as if it was being housed in the United States. 

Data Controller and Processors

We are the data controllers for the Personal Data we collect.  We use reasonable efforts to make sure our data processors are GDPR-compliant.  We may use trusted third parties as our processors for payments, email marketing, and delivery of some of our products and services.  Please note that third-parties who provide and/or publish content on our Site shall be deemed the data controllers for any personal data contained in the content uploaded to that third-party’s website and any other personal data processed in relation to such Third-Party Content.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

Our Site is intended for people age 18 and older.  Any use of our Site by anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.  By using our Site, you attest that you are 18 or older or have permission of your parent or guardian to use this Site.  If the Company discovers that a child under age 18 has signed up on the Site or provided us with personally identifiable information without their parent’s/guardian’s permission, we will delete that child’s identifiable information from our records, subject to any applicable laws requiring us to retain the data. 

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

If a dispute arises between us, you agree to submit to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules.  Before seeking arbitration, however, you agree to submit your concerns to us in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address in the Contact Information section below at least sixty (60) days prior to requesting arbitration so we can try to resolve your issue without resorting to arbitration.  Any judgment on an arbitrator’s award, if made, is binding and may be entered into any court having jurisdiction. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy through the use of our Site, you are agreeing to a modification of the applicable statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year of the date of the act, omission or other conduct complained of and submitted to us through certified mail or it shall otherwise be forfeited forever.  You also agree that arbitration shall be held in Essex County, Massachusetts.  

No Class or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver

YOU AGREE THAT CLAIMS AGAINST US MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless we both agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy, Company’s Terms and Conditions and any additional agreements applicable to certain services and/or products shall be construed according to the laws of Massachusetts.
