The information and data collected by Polaris Art is used exclusively for the purposes of providing our services to you. No data or personal information is ever sold or traded to any third party for any reason.
A "cookie" is a small file stored on your computer by a website which is used to store information about your activity on that site. We use cookies to store information on your item selections (shopping cart) in order to personalize your web experience at Polaris Art. Our cookies never store any financial information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. However, if you disable cookies, you will still be able to use our site, but we will not be able to retain items in your shopping cart between visits to our site or personalize the site when you return.
Before you can place an order on our website, you must first register using our registration form. During your registration we collect the following information: your name, billing and shipping address, and contact information. Once you have completed the registration process, you may then order items from us. When you place an order we collect the following information: items purchased, any Artist's Coupon if used, additional shipping information if supplied. If you pay by credit card, your credit card information is passed using an encrypted, secure internet connection (SSL) to our payment processing gateway which simply returns to us whether the purchase has been approved. At no point is your credit card information stored in a file or in our database.
We use the information we collect from you in order to provide our services to you.
Polaris Art does not sell, share, trade or distribute any personal information relating to you or your order history to third parties for any reason. Furthermore, you may opt to not be included in our internal promotional list by modifying your preference in your user Account.
Polaris Art employs security measures to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. Our web site encrypts your credit card number prior to transmission over the Internet using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technology and we do not store your credit card number in any file or in our database at any time during or after the online sales process.
INFORMATION, SERVICES, ITEMS FOR SALE, AND MATERIALS CONTAINED IN THIS SITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TEXT, GRAPHICS, AND LINKS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS WITH NO WARRANTY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POLARIS ART DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INFORMATION, SERVICES, ITEMS FOR SALE, AND MATERIALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.
SITE CONTENT, SERVICES, ITEMS FOR SALE, AND THE MATERIALS IN THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, POLARIS ART DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
POLARIS ART WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY THAT ACCOMPANY OR RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF ITS SITE. THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO) DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY ANY USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) OUR SITE OR ANY SITE TO WHICH YOU HYPERLINK FROM OUR SITE, FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR LINE FAILURE.
ALSO, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES INTENDED TO COMPENSATE SOMEONE DIRECTLY FOR A LOSS OR INJURY, DAMAGES REASONABLY EXPECTED TO RESULT FROM A LOSS OR INJURY (LEGALLY, "CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES"), OR OTHER MISCELLANEOUS DAMAGES AND EXPENSES RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM A LOSS OR INJURY (LEGALLY, "INCIDENTAL DAMAGES").
FURTHERMORE, WE ARE NOT LIABLE EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN NEGLIGENT OR IF OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
EXCEPTION: IN CERTAIN STATES THE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THESE "INCIDENTAL" OR "CONSEQUENTIAL" DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY. IN ANY EVENT, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, INJURIES, AND CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND (CLAIMED UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY) WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO PURCHASE ITEMS ON OR USE THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR SITE.
