Comments and Photos and Submissions

Gizmo appreciates your comments, remarks, feedback, suggestions, ideas and other submissions you disclose or transmit directly to us (collectively, "Your Comments"). Gizmo is not obligated to keep Your Comments confidential or pay you or anyone else any money for Your Comments. Your Comments shall become the property of Gizmo upon receipt, which means that Gizmo shall own all right, title and interest in and to Your Comments.

Users of the Site are able to make certain comments, reviews, submissions and messages that are publicly-accessible on the Site (collectively, "Public Postings"). When you submit Public Postings, you grant Gizmo, and all others who access the Public Postings, the worldwide, royalty free and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such Public Postings (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate them in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed.

Gizmo is not responsible for Public Postings. Gizmo does not routinely monitor, censor or edit Public Postings. Due to the nature of the Site, you may find some of the Public Postings offensive or otherwise inappropriate. You agree that Gizmo is not responsible for any injury you might suffer as a result of viewing Public Postings.

You acknowledge that Gizmo has the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse, delete, modify or move any Public Posting that is available on the Site. In particular, but without limitation, Gizmo shall have the right to remove, edit and/or modify any Public Posting that violates this Agreement, applicable law, or is otherwise objectionable.

Modification

Because of the dynamic nature of the Internet environment, Gizmo may update, revise, supplement, modify or amend this Agreement at any time. Any update, revision, supplementation, modification or amendment shall be effective immediately upon its posting on the Site. You agree that you will be bound by this Agreement, however and whenever it is updated, revised, supplemented, modified, or amended, whether you have actual or constructive notice of, and whether you have used or continue to use the Site after, the updates, revisions, supplementations, modifications or amendments.

Collection and Use of IP Addresses

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. The information stored by one site into a cookie cannot be read by another web site.

We use cookies to provide you a richer, personalized experience on our site, to customize your shopping experience, and to remember who you are when you revisit our site. When you register, Gizmo uses a cookie to store your login ID. We do not store passwords or any personal information about you in the cookie. We use this ID to identify you in our database, personalize the appearance of the site for you, and to track the pages you visit on our site. We do not use cookies to store any important personal information, such as address or credit card information, so this information remains secure even if others access our site from your computer.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. You can change your browser option to accept cookies by following the directions below:

Netscape Navigator/Communicator - on your task bar menu, select "Edit" and "Preferences". Select "Advanced" and click "Accept All Cookies". Click "OK".

Internet Explorer - on your task bar menu, select "Tools" and "Internet Options". Select "Security" and "Custom Level". Scroll down to "Cookies" and click "Enable". Click "OK".

Registration and Ordering

Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address) and some demographic information (like address and age). We require you to register with your age so that we can comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. (We have a specific policy regarding children’s privacy, which you can view by clicking here.) If you select to receive information from Gizmo, we will use customer contact information from the registration form to send you electronic newsletters or similar types of information. Your contact information is also used to contact you when issues arise with online orders.

Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site and is currently solely used by Gizmo to improve and manage the internal operations of our site.

Purchasing arts and craft items through our site using a secure shopping cart is for customers to purchase products. When you order a product, we need to know, and therefore collect, your contact information (like your name, address, and e-mail address) and certain financial information (like your credit card number). Contact information from your online registration is used to ship products. The contact information is also used to get in touch with you when necessary. Financial information that is collected is only used to bill you for the products you purchase.

Linked Sites

Our site currently contains a few links to other sites. Please be aware that Gizmo is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by ColorCutter.com.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Site.

Security Precautions

This website takes precautions to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected. While on a secure page the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we try to do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, employees who need to know are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are maintained by a major company who is also interested in security.

Choice/Opt-Out

Our site provides you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us. ColorCutter.com gives you the following options for removing your information from our database so that you do not receive future marketing or communications.
