By completing the registration process, you accept the terms of use and consent to our using your information accordingly.

You may be able to update, correct, change or delete inaccurate details. You may also change your choice of opting in or out of marketing and promotional activities, although you may continue to receive mailings for a short period while your change is being processed.
- You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information on payment of a small fee.
- If you are ordering a product, you will need to give us your contact information (such as your name and shipping address) and financial information (such as your credit card number and its expiration date). We use this information for invoicing purposes and to fulfill your order. We may also use this information to contact you if we have trouble processing your order. We do not keep financial information for future orders, therefore these will need to be re-entered for each order.
- It is sometimes necessary for us to supplement the information that we receive from you with information from third-party sources. For example, to determine if a customer qualifies for credit, we may use the customer’s name and national insurance or social security number to request a credit report.
