DISCLAIMER OF ENDORSEMENT

The documents posted on the Site or other C8 forums may contain hypertext links or pointers to information created and maintained by other public and private organizations. These links and pointers are provided for visitors' convenience. Neither C8, nor its members controls or guarantees the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness of any linked information.

Further, the inclusion of links or pointers to websites other than the Site is not intended to assign importance to those sites and the information contained therein, nor is it intended to endorse, recommend, or favor any views expressed or commercial products or services offered on these outside sites, or the organizations sponsoring the sites, by trade name, trademark, manufacture, or otherwise.

Reference in the Site or other C8 forums to any specific commercial products, processes, or services, or the use of any trade, firm or corporation name is for the information and convenience of our members and visitors. Such references do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or favor by the C8 or any of its members.

PASSWORD AND ACCESS RESPONSIBILITIES

If you sign-up to become a C8 Member, you will be provided with a username and password that entitles you to access various portions of the Site and its services. This is a shared username and password and each member is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of this information.



PRIVACY POLICY

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be disclosed upon this page. Your continued access to the Site or continued membership shows your acceptance of our Privacy Policy in effect at that time.

The provisions of our Privacy Policy are as follows:
    When each prospective C8 member requests membership, we require him or her to provide a true name and e-mail address.

    When one makes a purchase through the Site, we or our vendors may ask him or her to provide a name, shipping address, e-mail address, credit card number and expiration date.

    When users request pages from our server, our Web server automatically collects some information about the users, including their IP addresses. We may also collect information regarding your use of the Site through the use of cookies.

    If you choose to post messages on any of our forums, we may maintain on the message page such information about you as you choose to disclose. While every effort is made to limit access to these forums to C8 members, any information so posted should be considered public.

    If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. We also maintain a record or notes of communications with you regarding your membership.

    We do not distribute, rent or sell any personally identifiable information to third parties without your express consent, other than as necessary to process your credit card payment.

    Our vendors will use your information solely to process your credit card payment, to facilitate your access to and use of the Site, and to communicate with you. We also use this information to compile broad demographic and website usage information about our users in general, but this does not contain anything that could be used to identify you personally.

    We periodically use your e-mail address to send e-mail newsletters and important member announcements. You will not receive any e-mail from us unless you have requested it or unless it is notice to you specifically about your membership account. You can indicate at any time that you do not wish to receive e-mail information from us.

    We do not provide your e-mail to third parties without your express consent, unless required by subpoena, court order, or to comply with the request of law enforcement officials.

    We take reasonable precautions to maintain the security of any information obtained from and about you.
We recognize the importance of your privacy. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy or your dealings with us, please contact us at the e-mail address shown at the bottom of this page.
