We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

    All user names and passwords remain our property or the property of our service providers and may be cancelled, changed or suspended at any time without notice or any liability to you or any other person.  We and our service providers are not under any obligation to verify the actual identification or authority of the user of any user name or password and it is in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any user name or password.
