Notice to California Residents/Your California Privacy Rights: California residents have the right once a year to request and obtain certain information about our disclosure, if any, of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year (e.g., a request made in 2016 will receive information about sharing activities in 2015). As described in this Privacy Policy, we comply with this law by providing visitors with the ability to tell us not to share your personally identifiable information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to bookcasesarmchairs.com. You must include this site in the subject line of your email, as well as your full name, email address, and mailing address. Please see the “Your Choices” section of this Privacy Policy for more information.

Use of Web Beacons: Our web pages or email messages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon, sometimes referred to as a “clear gif,” that enables us to monitor and collect certain limited information about our users, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer receiving the web beacon, and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be so small that they are unnoticeable to users, but in general, any electronic image (including HTML-based content) viewed as part of a web page or email can act as a web beacon. We may use web beacons to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how users navigate our website, and we may also include web beacons in email messages to count how many messages we send are actually opened or acted upon. We use web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about our website and marketing campaigns.

Use of IP Addresses: An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or network when you connect to the Internet. When you request a page from this site, our servers log your IP address. We may use IP addresses for a variety of purposes, such as system administration, reporting aggregate information to our business partners, or auditing site usage. We may associate your IP address with the PII you provide.

We may also collect and store information about you received from other sources so that we can update and correct information contained in our databases and provide product recommendations and special offers that we think will be of interest to you.

Is Information Collected from Children?

We do not knowingly sell or ship any items ordered through this site directly to anyone we know to be under the age of 13, nor do we collect any PII from anyone we know to be under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 18, you should use this site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian and should not submit any PII to us. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has provided PII to the Company, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such person's PII from its systems.

Company Use and Disclosure of Collected Information

Company Use: We may use your PII to provide you with requested information, services or content, to contact you about promotions or for other purposes disclosed when you provide your information. We may also contact you from time to time on behalf of one of our affiliates or external business partners with information that may be of interest to you. We may also contact you regarding any issues or questions you have about your use of our Site or, at our discretion, to notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policies or terms that affect you and your use of our Site. We may also use information about our users, including PII, for internal purposes.

With Whom Does Company Share Information?

We may provide information to certain outside companies when we think their products or services may be of interest to you. If you choose to receive communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy and not this Privacy Policy. Therefore, if you later decide that you do not want a third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly. In addition, Company may share your PII with third parties in the following circumstances:

Third Parties Performing Services on Our Behalf: We may engage third parties to provide services related to our business operations. Examples of these services include: (a) payment processing and authorization, (b) fraud protection and credit risk reduction, (c) product customization, (d) order fulfillment, (e) shipping, (f) marketing and promotional material distribution, (g) site evaluation, (h) data collection, storage, management, analysis, and, where applicable, cleansing, and (i) any other services designed to help us maximize our business potential. These third parties may have access to user information, including PII, of this Site in order to perform their duties and functions.

Company Security: We may release information about our users, including PII, when required by law, by governmental authorities conducting an investigation, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Site and applicable laws. We may also disclose such user information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers, or others.

Aggregate Information: We may disclose non-identifying, aggregated user statistics to third parties for a variety of purposes, including describing our services to potential partners and other third parties. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this Site in a particular time period or purchased a particular product through this Site.

Promotions: If you choose to enter a contest, sweepstakes or promotion, your PII may be disclosed to third parties for purposes related to such promotion, including, but not limited to, publishing your entry and attribution thereof or other purposes permitted by the official rules of the relevant promotion, fulfilling your prize or including your name on a list of winners. In addition, by entering a promotion, we may ask you to consent to the use of your PII or other information, such as name, voice or likeness, in advertising, promotional and marketing materials. In addition, we may offer certain promotional content, such as sweepstakes, sponsored by or co-branded with third parties, who may receive the PII you submit.

Corporate Changes: In addition, we reserve the right to disclose, share and/or otherwise transfer user information, including, but not limited to, PII, in the event of a corporate merger, acquisition, consolidation, sale of a portion of our business or sale of substantially all of our assets, or other fundamental corporate change, regardless of the form taken. If your personal information will be used in violation of this policy, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice on our website prior to any change in ownership or control of your personal information. For clarification and reassurance, the Company specifically reserves the right to transfer or share a copy of the personally identifiable information collected from this website (offline or otherwise) in accordance with this Privacy Policy to buyers of the business segment to which that information relates.

What measures are taken to keep personal information secure?

We use industry-standard security protocols to encrypt sensitive and personal information we collect. If you place an order through this website, you will be asked to set up an account and provide an email address and password. You must provide the appropriate email address and password to access account information. To further help protect your personal information, you should be careful not to provide your password to others. If you wish to cancel your password, or if you become aware of any lost, stolen or unauthorized use of your password, please contact our customer service department via email at bookcasesarmchairs.com.

We work hard to ensure the security of your PII on our systems, including limiting access to PII on our servers. When you provide the Company with sensitive or confidential information, that information is transmitted over a secure connection with your web browser. Unfortunately, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. The Company cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur. We cannot and do not ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to the Company, and you do so at your own risk.

How do I access, correct and update personal information?

You may access, correct and update certain personal information you have provided to us by clicking on "Manage Your Account" within the Help Desk area of this Site.

Your Choices/Unsubscribe

You may unsubscribe from receiving promotional materials from this Site by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" hyperlink in any promotional email we send you. Alternatively, you may send an email to bookcasesarmchairs.com or write to 5524 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11220. Because customer lists are often prepared long in advance of offers (sometimes months in advance of offers), you may still receive some offers after you send us a request not to use your information for a particular marketing purpose. Please note that we will process your request as quickly as possible, but may not be able to update our systems immediately. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we allow time to process your request.

Even if you are removed from any such lists, if you order online, we will send you an email confirming your order and may need to contact you by phone, email, or regular mail if we have questions about your order. In addition, you should be aware that due to backups and other reasons, we are not always able to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without leaving some residual data.

If you wish to opt out of having your PII shared with third parties for marketing purposes, you must send an email to bookcasesarmchairs.com with this website in the subject line and include your full name, email address, and postal address. You must do this on each website where you register or provide us with PII. Please keep in mind that this opt-out for "third parties" does not apply to Company, Company licensees, and/or co-branding participants, as described below. Please also keep in mind that any opt-out you make will not apply if: (a) you have already, concurrently or later make a specific request for information from us, or (b) the Company uses your PII for operational purposes (e.g., to complete a transaction you have requested or to send you administrative communications about your account with us or features of our Site, including future changes to this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use or any other policies or terms that affect you and your use of our Site) or fulfillment purposes (e.g., sharing with companies that facilitate communications and transactions with you).

It may take some time to process your opt-out choice. Our systems take time to update, and promotional emails using PII shared prior to your opt-out may already be in process. Therefore, your PII may continue to be shared with third parties for promotional purposes for a period of time after you make your request. For similar reasons, if your PII is shared with third parties, the Company will have a significant or complete loss of control over how that information is used. Therefore, even if you choose not to allow us to share your PII, you may continue to receive promotional materials from third parties unless you formally register your opt-out request with each relevant third party.

What happens when I link to or from another website?

Please note that when you browse our website or view emails or other content provided by Company, you may click on links that will take you outside of Company's services and onto other websites or online content that Company does not control. If you "click" on such a third party's link, the "click" will take you to the third party's website or online content. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of any third-party website you browse. Please be aware that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information collected through these other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave this website and to read the privacy policies of each website you visit.

Nonetheless, the information you provide to us through these framed pages is collected by us and our use of that information is subject to this Privacy Policy.

Arbitration

By using the Site in any manner, you unconditionally agree and acknowledge that: (1) any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) you may have against the Company and/or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, and employees (all such persons and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Company Entities”) arising out of, relating to, or in any way connected with the Site or the determination of the scope or applicability of this Arbitration Agreement will be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS and conducted by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules; (2) this Arbitration Agreement is entered into pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) 9 USC §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in the major U.S. city nearest to your place of residence; (4) the arbitrator’s decision shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and any other agreements that applicable users may have entered into with respect to the Site; and (5) The arbitrator shall apply New York law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no right to arbitrate any claim on a class or representative basis, and the arbitration may only adjudicate your and/or the applicable Corporate Entity’s individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award punitive damages against you or any Corporate Entity; and (8) if the administrative fees and deposit required to initiate an arbitration against any Corporate Entity exceed $125, and you are unable (or are not required under the Jams Rules) to pay any fees and deposit in excess of such amount, then the Company agrees to pay and/or forward those fees on your behalf, subject to the arbitrator’s final allocation. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Company will pay your filing and hearing fees associated with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of paragraph (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or conflicts with the Jams Rules, then the remainder of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained therein. However, if paragraph (6) is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither you nor the Company will be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information about Jams and/or the Jams Rules, please visit its website at www.jamsadr.com.

This section limits certain rights, including the right to sue, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of a class or representative claim, the right to discovery except as otherwise provided in the JAMS Rules, and the right to obtain certain remedies and forms of relief. Other rights that you or the Company would have in court may also not be enforceable in arbitration.
