About your Security and Privacy
This security and privacy policy
("Privacy Policy") constitutes a part of the Terms & Conditions
("Terms and Conditions") of the Axamit Web Site, which governs your use
of this Site. The Terms and Conditions, including this Privacy Policy,
may be amended by the Axamit at any time by posting the amended Terms
and Conditions on this Site.
In addition to this Privacy
Policy, certain Axamit services on or accessible from this Site have
Supplemental Terms that will govern your use of such services. These
also form a part of the Terms and Conditions and govern your use of
such services.
Payment Transactions
For your protection, we have taken a
number of steps to maximize the security of financial transactions that
are accepted on the Axamit Web Site. Payment processing is accomplished
using secure processing services. Your entry of private information is
encrypted when transmitted in secure mode. If you are behind a
firewall, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) feature of your browser and the
processing of the payment may be blocked. In this case, you have the
option of payment processing without SSL by selecting the "Non-Secure"
feature on the screen - the choice is up to you.
If for any
reason, you still feel uncomfortable submitting your private
information over the Internet, you can mail your form to us.
Using Encryption
In
certain transactions you are given the option of running in a secure
(SSL) mode or unsecure mode. In cases where a firewall is causing a
situation that cannot be corrected, the use of the unsecure mode is
given. The unsecure mode is used by you at your own risk.
In
addition, there are constantly changing restrictions in the use of
encryption software and schemes that are used in various countries. The
use of appropriate software and encryption options are your
responsibility, and the Axamit assumes no risk or liability in ensuring
your compliance to local law.
REGARDLESS OF THE PRECAUTIONS
TAKEN BY YOU OR BY THE AXAMIT, "PERFECT SECURITY" DOES NOT EXIST ON THE
INTERNET. THE AXAMIT CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY
INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO THIS SITE OR THE AXAMIT, AND YOU TRANSMIT
SUCH INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Use of "Cookies"
Cookies are implemented in various

discretionary by you, and declining Cookies will usually result only in
loss of certain conveniences such as session continuity and
re-authentication during current or future sessions. Various types of
Persistent and Per-Session (Transient) Cookies may be used with any one
service, and their implementations, behaviors, and effects will vary.
It is the policy of the Axamit that Cookies do not carry any of your
personal information (name, email address, credit card, etc.) nor
identification/password-type data that allows access to such personal
information on Axamit servers. All personal, transaction, and security
rights are housed on secure Axamit servers, and follow the policy
described in the "Information We Collect From You and How We Use the

General Axamit Web Server Security

the protection of your information from outside attack by hackers and
curious visitors.

Legal Requests
The Axamit cooperates with law
enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws.

discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an
