Privacy
Policy
Last Updated: January

Web-Source.net strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We
may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We
will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided.
For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for
access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such
as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms,
and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Web-Source.net
also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic
tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the
name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize
you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie
may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times
you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.
In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do
you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked
to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize
the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you)
may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your
usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most
or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Web-Source.net
to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Web-Source.net and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Web-Source.net may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of
sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time
as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information
may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information
in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you
may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Web-Source.net expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect
the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies
and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to,
or view as part of a frame on a Web-Source.net page, certain content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Web-Source.net
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Web-Source.net is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should
check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties
may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your
preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable
the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated
by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
Web-Source.net does not control the use of this technology by third parties
or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies
of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge
and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of Web-Source.net and this policy.
Children
Web-Source.net does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If
we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation
of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe
Web-Source.net has any information from or about anyone under 13, please
contact us at the address listed below.

Changes to this Policy
Web-Source.net reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please
check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those
changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will
be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information
was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed by Ohio law. If a dispute
arises under this Policy we agree to first try to resolve it with the help
of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following location: Delaware, Ohio.
Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation
will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through
mediation, we agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration at the following

not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any
