Terms of Service (TOS)
ARKEN OPTICS USA, LLC (“us,” “we,” or “our”) has developed this Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”)(also referred to as “Terms of Use” or “Terms and Conditions”) to ensure the trust of visitors and customers (“you” or “your”) in and to our Website (the “Site”).
Welcome to ARKEN OPTICS USA. The following Terms of Service (TOS) (together with any documents referred to in them) (collectively, the “Terms of Use” or “Terms and Conditions”) apply to your use of the site, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the site, whether as a guest or a registered user, or through mobile or desktop application versions of the site. Please read the TOS carefully before using the site. Additionally, please review our Privacy Policy (located in our footer) to understand additional practices we use.
By using the site you signify your consent to these TOS and our Privacy Policy, incorporated here by reference. If you do not want to agree to these TOS or the Privacy Policy, you must exit the site.
To access the site or some of the resources we may offer, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the site that all the information you provide on the site is correct, current, and complete. If you choose, or you are provided with, a user name, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party.
You agree to immediately notify ARKEN OPTICS USA of any unauthorized use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including, if in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any provision of this TOS.
Information collection
Traffic Data collected. We automatically track and gather the following data when you use our site: (i) your IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) machine type; and (iv) web browser type (collectively, “Traffic Data”). Although it does not individually identify you, Traffic Data is anonymous information that can be used for marketing or to enhance your online experience. Additionally, we employ “cookies” to save your password so you don’t have to enter it each time you visit the site, to help prevent you from seeing the same advertisement twice, and to customize content to your preferences.
Personal Data collected. We may need/collect personally identifiable information from you in order for you to purchase products on the Site and access some premium features (“Personal Information”). Personal information can include, but is not limited to: (i) Contact Information (name, postal address, and email address); (ii) Financial Information (credit card number, account number, and account details); and (iii) Demographic Information (income, age, and zip code). Any information you submit may be collected as Personal Information if you communicate with us via email, post messages to any of our forums, chat rooms, or bulletin boards, or otherwise complete online forms, surveys, or contest submissions.
Utilization of collected information
We may use your Personal/Contact/Traffic Data to send you promotional materials from our partners, information about our company, goods, and services, and to get in touch with you when needed. In order to bill you for goods and services and to confirm that you qualify for particular products or services, we use your financial data. By presenting information based on your choices and that we believe you might find interesting, we utilize your Demographic Data to personalize and modify your experience on the Site.
Personal information sharing
We may provide our affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions access to your Personal Information. We do not, however, divulge Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties. A company transfer will result in the sharing of Personal Information. Personal Information is typically one of the business assets transferred in these kinds of transactions, but it is still bound by the agreements stated in any previous Privacy Policies.
Personal information handling preferences
You have the option to withhold any Personal Information from us. You will still be able to view and use much of the site, but you won’t be able to access and use the parts that need your Personal Information in such a scenario. Every time we request Personal Information from you, you have the choice to “opt-out” by selecting the relevant option if you would like to stop receiving information and promotional materials from us.
Personal information confidentiality and security
With the exception of situations when it becomes necessary to: (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; or (c) enforce our website agreement and terms of sale, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with third parties. Unrelated third parties cannot access the secure servers where your Personal Information is kept. If your web browser is suitably equipped, we give you the option to send your Personal Information using encrypted and secure methods. Please be advised that even when a particular communication (like payment card information) is encrypted, messages and information sent to this site may still be intercepted or read by a third party. This is because Internet transmissions are never really private or secure.
Personal information management
You can always check your personal profile at www.ARKENOPTICSUSA.com to make sure all of your Personal Information is accurate and current. You can: (a) check and update the Personal Information we have previously gathered about you through your personal profile; or (b) select whether you want us to send you information about our business.
Lost or stolen information
In the event that your password, user name, or credit card are lost, stolen, or used without authorization, you must contact us right away. If that happens, we will update our records for your protection.
Your possible privacy limitations
There may be links on this website to other websites. The content and privacy policies of these websites are not our responsibility. We also provide you with access to message boards, chat rooms, forums, and news groups. Please be aware that whatever you disclose in these sections becomes public knowledge. You should use caution when deciding to release your Personal Information, as we have no control over how it is used.
Modifications to our Terms of Service (TOS) and/or Privacy Policy
By merely publishing such a change, update, or modification on the Site, we reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to add to, change, update, or modify this TOS. Any such update, modification, or change will take effect as soon as it is posted on the website.
