			<ol><li class="none"><strong>How does DISCOUNT JEWELS view customer privacy?</strong></li> 
				<p>DISCOUNT JEWELS value our customer privacy because our customers value their privacy and because we value our customers. Customer privacy is a priority in the online commerce brought to the customer through DISCOUNT JEWELS.</p>
			<li><strong>What information is considered private?</strong></li> 
            	<p>All information pertaining directly to the customer is considered private. This information includes the following: name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, and credit card number.</p>            
			<li><b>Who is authorized to view private information?</b></li>
    	        <p>DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services staff are authorized to view the customer&rsquo;s private information (except for the credit card number) so that we are better able to serve that particular customer when and if the customer contacts us for questions and service. Jewelers-Services staff members are authorized to view a customer&rsquo;s private information for business purposes, since Jewelers-Services is responsible for completing orders made by the customer through DISCOUNT JEWELS.</p> 
        	    <p>Select Jewelers-Services staff members are authorized to access a customer's entered credit card information. However, these staff members use the information for the express purpose of completing the customer&rsquo;s order through DISCOUNT JEWELS. All credit card information is secured through the Jewelers-Services Secure Server (see <a title="Security / Guarantee" href="javascript:GoPage(24)"> Security / Guarantee</a>) and the transaction process which leads to the approval of the customer&rsquo;s credit card information. During the transaction process, transaction services and financial institutions may view a customer&rsquo;s private information for the purpose of completing financial transactions.</p> 
            	<p> DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services will release private information when such information is requested by federal, state, or local legal authorities. DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services will also release private information whenever necessary to protect the legal and physical well-being of the Jewelers-Services program, DISCOUNT JEWELS, the customer, and/or other individuals associated with the Jewelers-Services program.</p> 
    		<li><strong>Who is not authorized to view private information?</strong></li> 
            	<p>Anyone who is not a Jewelers-Services staff member, a staff member of DISCOUNT JEWELS servicing the customer, or a staff member of a transaction service or financial institution involved in the financial transaction process, is not authorized to view private information under normal circumstances.</p> 
            	<p>It is not the policy of DISCOUNT JEWELS to release a customer&rsquo;s private information to businesses and organizations engaged in commercial mailings and the like. A customer submits private information for the exclusive purpose of completing an order and receiving service.</p> 
            <li><strong>Are there security risks for which DISCOUNT JEWELS cannot be held responsible?</strong></li>
            	<p>DISCOUNT JEWELS Secure Server Guarantee (see <a title="Security / Guarantee" href="javascript:GoPage(24)"> Security / Guarantee</a>) serves as the customer&rsquo;s guarantee of the security of all transactions made through the Jewelers-Services Secure Server using its integrated SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology.</p> 
            	<p>When a customer sends private information to DISCOUNT JEWELS through any method other than the DISCOUNT JEWELS Secure Server, no guarantee of the security of private information is provided. All e-mails, telephone calls, letters, and other forms of communication not through the DISCOUNT JEWELS Secure Server, should be considered insecure and able to be intercepted in transit by unauthorized parties. DISCOUNT JEWELS considers the likelihood of interception of such forms of communication by unauthorized parties low but finds it necessary to point out the risk of such interception.</p> 
            <li><strong>Is there any other information that does not fit the &quot;private&quot; classification and that DISCOUNT JEWELS can record?</strong></li>
            	<p>DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services frequently have access to information that is not directly related to the customer himself or herself. DISCOUNT JEWELS has the ability to record a user&rsquo;s IP address (the address that identifies a user&rsquo;s computer on the Internet); however, in most cases, this information cannot be traced back to the customer. Other information accessible to DISCOUNT JEWELS computer systems through the internet includes, in many cases, the customer&rsquo;s computer operating system, browser software description, browser version, domain name, and referring web page.</p> 
            	<p>DISCOUNT JEWELS may use &quot;cookies,&quot; or information stored on a customer&rsquo;s computer, for the purpose of providing online services to the customer. It is the opinion of DISCOUNT JEWELS that the use of &quot;cookies&quot; will benefit the customer, DISCOUNT JEWELS, and the Jewelers-Services program, when applicable, by providing a profile related to the customer&rsquo;s online history with DISCOUNT JEWELS and the customer&rsquo;s preferences.</p> 
            	<p>The customer should be aware that the above types of information, among others, may be sent by his or her computer across the Internet and that he or she may not be aware of it. Use of DISCOUNT JEWELS Web site implies permission given to Jewelers-Services to track this information for research purposes.</p></ol>                
			<p><strong>DISCOUNT JEWELS: Accuracy of Information</strong></p> 
            <p>DISCOUNT JEWELS takes measures to ensure the accuracy of material on its Web site.</p> 
            <p>In the rare event of inaccurate information being presented on its Web site, DISCOUNT JEWELS disclaims responsibility for such inaccuracy but will correct the inaccurate information as soon as possible once informed of the inaccuracy.</p>

Jewelers-Services will take responsibility for the security of online credit card transactions.</p> 
            <p>Any material submitted to DISCOUNT JEWELS, other than credit card information, by any means, with or without the customer&rsquo;s knowledge, becomes the property of DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services; Jewelers-Services reserves the right to record and store such material for internal business activities and for cooperation with DISCOUNT JEWELS.</p>

While DISCOUNT JEWELS and Jewelers-Services have a business relationship and provide services to the customer, Jewelers-Services is not responsible for the actions of people associated with DISCOUNT JEWELS who obtain information that an official representative of DISCOUNT JEWELS is authorized by Jewelers-Services to obtain. 
			Retail affiliates have commercial Web sites, many of which are hosted by Jewelers-Services; Jewelers-Services is not responsible for the content of retail affiliates&rsquo; Web sites. Jewelers-Services reserves these rights to the maximum extent permitted under applicable laws.</p> 
            <p>All terms and conditions stated by DISCOUNT JEWELS are done so under the laws of the State of Ohio, United States of America, regardless of any conflicts of law. If any part of the terms and conditions is found to be inapplicable for any reason, the remaining terms and conditions remain valid and enforceable.</p> 
            <p>These conditions may change at the reasonable discretion of DISCOUNT JEWELS. If the conditions are changed, they will be posted in updated form on the DISCOUNT JEWELS Web site.
