YOU AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR LOSSES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

15. Limitations on Liability

NOTICE TO NEW JERSEY USERS: If you live in New Jersey, this section does not apply to you.

We exclude all representations, warranties, conditions, and terms (whether express or implied by statute, common law, or otherwise), to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that Acme will not be liable for any damages, claims or losses incurred (including, but not limited to, compensatory, incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary damages), however caused or under any theory of liability arising in connection with (i) the Site; (ii) the use or inability to use the Site; (iii) the use of or reliance on any content or information displayed in or on the Site; (iv) the purchase or use of any products through the Site or otherwise; (v) unauthorized access to or alteration of your data that is sent to or received by the Site; or (vi) errors, system down time, network or system outages, file corruption, or service interruptions.

Acme will not be liable in any amount for failure to perform any obligation under these terms if such failure is caused by the occurrence of any unforeseen contingency beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, internet outages and/or communications outages.

These exclusions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. If any provision or part of any provision of these terms is declared invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, it will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these terms.

You and Acme also agree that if Acme assigns, transfers, or sub-contracts any of our rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party in writing, such third party may enforce the Terms that are assigned, transferred, or sub-contracted.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms, or part thereof, is deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision, or part thereof, will be deemed severable from the rest of the Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions or part thereof.

The terms of this section survive terminations of the Terms.

20. Disputes, Binding and Confidential Arbitration, and Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations

AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, WE EACH AGREE TO SETTLE DISPUTES (EXCEPT CERTAIN SMALL CLAIMS) ONLY BY ARBITRATION. BY USING THE SITE AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO WAIVE AND ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE ACME IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND ACME EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND REVIEW IS LIMITED, BUT AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THE AGREEMENT AS A COURT WOULD.

Disputes. The terms of this section will apply to all Disputes between you and Acme. For purposes of this section, “Disputes” means any dispute, claim, or action between you and Acme arising under or relating to our products, the Site, , the Acme Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and these Terms, and/or any other transaction involving you and Acme, whether in contract, warranty, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and will be interpreted to have given the broadest meaning allowable under law. You and Acme agree that “Dispute” as defined in these terms will not include any claim or cause of action by you or Acme for (i) trade secret misappropriation; (ii) patent infringement; (iii) copyright infringement or misuse; or (iv) trademark infringement or dilution. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you and Acme agree that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.

Confidential and Binding Arbitration. You and Acme agree to confidential and binding arbitration of all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in this section. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND ACME WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. You and Acme also agree that (i) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (ii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section; and (iii) this section will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator may award the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief warranted by a claim. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation, and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court. Acme does not hereby waive any defense and expressly reserves its right to assert any defense available to it in any such action, whether jurisdictional or otherwise.

Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Acme must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that includes a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Acme must be addressed and sent by certified mail to: Attn: Dispute Notice Agent, Acme, 441 Maple Avenue, Carpentersville, IL 60110 (the “Acme Notice”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. If Acme and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, either you or Acme may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of us agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND ACME AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR WILL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration will be governed by the terms set forth in this section and the Expedited Arbitration Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Procedures”), which are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. The parties expressly agree that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration will be limited to the resolution of individual claims only. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Procedures and the terms set forth in this section, the terms in this section will govern. The parties may, in arbitration, seek all remedies otherwise available to them pursuant to federal, state, or local laws. All Disputes will be resolved by a single neutral JAMS arbitrator, and both parties will have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this section. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the JAMS arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for (i) trade secret misappropriation, (ii) patent infringement, (iii) copyright infringement or misuse, or (iv) trademark infringement or dilution, each of which is excluded from the definition of “Dispute” as stated above. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone will take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Washington, DC, at your option.

1. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Acme decide to arbitrate a Dispute, the parties agree to the following procedure:
   • Write a Demand for Arbitration. The Demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered (the “Demand for Arbitration”). A sample demand for arbitration is available at http://jamsadr.com.
   • Send three (3) copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to:
     JAMS
     555 13th Street, NW
     Suite 400 West
     Washington, DC 20004
   • Send by certified mail one (1) copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address listed for the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to in advance by the parties.
2. Hearing Format. In all hearings, the arbitrator will issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. The amount of any settlement offer made by Acme or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator, if at all, until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Acme is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute will be governed by the JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures.
3. Arbitration Fees. All fees of the arbitrator and any consultant engaged by the arbitrator shall be paid one-half by each Party, unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator.
4. Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section by sending a written letter by certified mail to Acme Industrial Company, 441 Maple Avenue, Carpentersville, IL 60110 within thirty (30) days of your first visit to and use of the Site that specifies your (i) name; (ii) mailing address; and (iii) request to be excluded from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section. In the event you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms and conditions in these Terms will continue to apply.

Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in this section to the contrary, you and Acme agree that if Acme makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions set forth in this section (other than a change to the parties’ addresses), Acme will post notice of such amendments on the Site and you will have thirty (30) days from your first visit to, or use of, the Site containing such amendments to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you agree you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this section as stated in this current section, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to such future amendments. Severability. If any provision of this section is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of this section and these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing will not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire section will be null and void. The terms of this section will otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.

21. Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies

Acme and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure or class action waiver provisions in these Terms (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) will be filed only in the Kane County Courthouse, Geneva, Illinois, or the 2nd District Appellate Court, Elgin, IL, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms and Acme’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy constitute the entire agreements between Acme and you with respect to your use of the Site and your purchase of any products or services through the Site.

23. Time Period for Bringing Claims

You and Acme agree that any cause of action either may have with respect to the Site, or Acme’s products or services must be commenced within one (1) year after the Dispute arises, notwithstanding any statutes of limitations to the contrary. Many states’ laws set statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year. If you live in a state that has statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year, by agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing to shorten the time you have to bring a claim. This means that if you wait longer than one (1) year to initiate an arbitration under this section, you will lose some or all rights you may have to any recovery, including the right to recover damages, in connection with a Dispute. NOTICE TO NEW JERSEY USERS: If you live in New Jersey, your agreement to this provision shortens the time within which you may bring a Dispute.

24. Miscellaneous Terms

The section titles used in these Terms are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect.

Nothing in these Terms will be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and Acme, and you do not have any authority to create any obligation on Acme’s behalf. You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations of these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Acme’s written consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against you and Acme and their respective successors and assigns.

The terms of this section survive any termination of these Terms.

25. Other Important Terms

These Terms supersede any other terms and conditions previously posted or published by Acme and any other representations or oral statements made by us to you. No delay by Acme in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy or will affect our ability to subsequently exercise that right or remedy. Any waiver must be agreed by Acme in writing.

1. Commitment to Privacy

Acme Industrial Company. (“Acme,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) offers and maintains a website located at http://www.acmeindustrial.com/, including all subdomains and subparts, and our social media sites, (collectively, the “Site”). We respect the privacy of everyone who visits the Site. Our Privacy Policy is an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality service with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our visitors and customers. This policy was developed to inform visitors to the Site about how we handle and use personal information. Privacy is important; we hope you take the time to read this Privacy Policy carefully. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN, BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

We will regularly assess this Privacy Policy against new technologies, business practices, and our customers’ needs to ensure that you are informed to make choices about how to share and secure your personal data. If you have questions about this privacy statement, our information practices, or your dealings with us, please contact us at (847) 428-3911.

2. Collection of Your Information

When you visit the Site, you may provide us with two types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you voluntarily disclose so that we may provide products or services to you, such as when you register for an account or complete a survey; and (2) website use information collected automatically as you browse the Site. By using the Site, or allowing someone to do so on your behalf, you are consenting to our collection, use, disclosure, transfer, storage, retention, and eventual destruction in accordance with this Privacy Policy of any personally identifiable information or other information received by us as a result of such use.

Personally Identifiable Information

We may collect personally identifiable information about you, including, without limitation, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and payment information. If you choose to correspond with us through email or social media, we may retain the content of your messages, together with your email address and our responses.

Website Use Information

Like many site operators, we also collect certain data that your browser sends to us from the computer, mobile device, and/or browser through which you access the Site (“Log Data”). This Log Data includes, without limitation, your device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, statistics on your activities on the Site (such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Site), information about how you came to the Site, and data collected through Cookies or other similar technologies discussed in more detail in our Cookie Policy. In addition, we may use third-party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor, and analyze Log Data. Much of this Log Data is not personally identifiable information. However, when you submit personally identifiable information to us, we may associate this Log Data with your personally identifiable information. At such time, we will treat any such combined data as personally identifiable information until such time as it can no longer be associated with you or used to identify you.

3. Use of Your Information

Broadly speaking, we use personally identifiable information for the purpose for which you provided it. If you order a product, or engage us for professional services, we will use your name and contact information to fulfill your needs, including billing, and delivery. If you send us an email, we may use your email address and other information you submit to provide customer service to you. We may also use your personally identifiable information or Log Data to administer our internal business activities, such as to design and arrange the Site in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve the Site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers, to better understand visitors to the Site, to manage your account, to provide customer service, or to make available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

No Sale of Your Information We are not in the business of selling your personally identifiable information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. Therefore, we will not sell your personally identifiable information to third parties, including third party advertisers. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer, or share your personally identifiable information with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below.

Sharing Information with Agents, Consultants, and Related Third Parties We, like many businesses, sometimes engage other companies to perform certain business-related functions. These companies may include marketing agencies, database service providers, backup and disaster recovery service providers, email service providers, payment processors, and others. When we engage another company to perform such functions, we may provide it with personally identifiable information, Log Data, or aggregate information about our customers, sales, website traffic patterns, and related website information, in connection with its performance of such functions. However, we do not collect or store credit card information or internet protocol addresses directly; rather, we employ a third party payment processor who may collect, store, and use such information. We take measures to select service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers, such as those that comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of these third party companies.

Sharing Information Through Social Media We work with third parties, including social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google+, and with application developers who specialize in social commerce so you can connect to Acme through your social networks. All of these companies operate Third Party Sites, as defined in section 8. We provide access to our Site by third parties and business partners so we can generate interest in our products and services among members of your social networks and to allow you to share your interests with friends in your network.

If you use features made available on our Site by a third party social media site, your personally identifiable information may be collected or shared by us or by the third party. We consider information collected or shared through any such social media features as public information because the third-party social media sites made it publicly available. If you do not want us to be able to access information about you from Third-Party Sites, you must instruct the Third-Party Sites not to share the information with us. Acme does not control how these third parties use information collected from or about you, so be sure to review the privacy policies and privacy settings on your social media sites to make sure you understand the information they are sharing. If you do not want a Third-Party Site to share information about you, you must contact that site and determine whether it gives you the opportunity to opt out of sharing such information.

We use features on Third-Party Sites that allow you to express opinions about products, surveys, or your interests. Those Third-Party Sites may collect or register your views (including whether you liked or purchased a product) and make those views available to Acme and on public portions of the Third-Party Sites. You can avoid such collection and use of your personally identifiable information by declining to buy products through Third Party Sites or to express your views on Third-Party Sites. Third-Party Sites may also give you the option to limit such data collection and disclosure in the privacy settings on their sites. Acme reserves its right not to display your personally identifiable information or content on our social media accounts or our Site, even if you express an opinion about our services or products or consent to our use of such information or content. We reserve the right to remove personally identifiable or other information of any person for any reason. We may also remove from our social media accounts, Site, in our sole discretion, any product offering or any photo or product description.

Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information We may disclose your personally identifiable information if required to do so by law (including, without limitation, responding to a subpoena or request from law enforcement, a court, or a government agency) or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary (a) to comply with a legal obligation; (b) to protect or defend our rights, interests, or property, or that of third parties; (c) to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Site; (d) to act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site, or the public; or (e) to protect against legal liability.

5. Your Choices About Use and Disclosure Of Your Information

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used.

You may choose to limit the personally identifiable information you submit by merely browsing the Site without providing your name or other information. If you do so, you may not be able to use certain functionality of the Site. To open an account, for example, you must provide your name and email address.

6. Information Security

We are committed to the protection of your information. When you place an order through the Site, we encode your information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. This is the most advanced consumer online security technique to date. Our business practices also limit employee access to personally identifiable information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.

Storage of Your Informationstrong> We may store personally identifiable information itself or such information may be stored by third parties to whom we have transferred it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We take what we believe to be reasonable steps to protect the personally identifiably information collected via the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no network, server, database, or Internet or e-mail transmission, is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us electronically. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any personally identifiable information.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information If you have registered for an account on the Site, you may request access to or correction of all of your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by emailing us at [email protected]. We will take reasonable steps to respond to requests relating to personally identifiable information within thirty (30) days, however, we may reject requests that we find to be unreasonable (i.e., require disproportionate efforts or material changes to our information systems), impractical, or abusive (i.e., repetitive requests, requests made in bad faith, requests that would compromise third party information).

Information Retention We may retain your personally identifiable information as long as you continue to use the Site. You may close your account by contacting us. However, we may retain personally identifiable information for an additional period as is permitted or required under applicable laws. Even if we delete your personally identifiable information, it may persist on backup or archival media for an additional period of time.

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices We periodically review this Privacy Policy for compliance with legal requirements, and corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality, and quality of our information. The effective date of this version of the Privacy Policy can be seen on top of this page (under the main headline).

7. Cookies Web Logs, And Similar Technologies

Please refer to our Cookie Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy, for more information about our use of these technologies.

8. Exclusions

Third Party Links Our emails and/or the Site may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us. These links are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be of interest to the users of the Site. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. The policies and procedures we describe here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from our emails and/or the Site do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third Party Sites. We are not responsible for the practices employed by the Third Party Sites linked to or from our emails and/or the Site, nor the information or content contained therein. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

Non-Personally Identifiable Data When you provide personally identifiable information, we may use it to create non-personally identifiable information that we may use for advertising, marketing, or trade. To de-identify your information, we will use only your first name and last initial and city of residence with, for example, a testimonial you provided.

When you interact with the Site, we may also collect non-personally identifiable data. The limitations and requirements in this Privacy Policy on our collection, use, disclosure, transfer and storage/retention of personally identifiable information do not apply to non-personally identifiable data. The non-personally identifiable data we collect include, without limitation, Log Data, domain names of your Internet Service Provider, your approximate geographic location, a record of your usage of the Site, the time of your usage and aggregated personally identifiable information, but only to the extent that the foregoing cannot be used to specifically identify you. However, if we combine non-personally identifiable data with personally identifiable information, we will treat the combined data as personally identifiable information.

Aggregated Personally Identifiable Information In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve visitors of the Site and our customers, we may conduct research on your demographics, interests, and behavior based on personally identifiable information and other information that we have collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis and this aggregate information does not identify you personally and therefore is considered and treated as non-personally identifiable data under this Privacy Policy.

9. Children

We do not knowingly or intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of eighteen (18), and our emails and the Site are neither directed nor targeted to children less than eighteen (18) years of age. If you are under the age of eighteen (18), please do not submit any personally identifiable information through the Site. We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s use of the Internet and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide personally identifiable information through the Site. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of eighteen (18) has provided personally identifiable information to us through the Site, please contact us at [email protected], and we will use reasonable efforts to delete such personally identifiable information from the Site and our files.

10. International Privacy Laws

If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information (including personally identifiable information) to the United States where our servers are located. That information may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. We will hold and process your personally identifiable information in accordance with privacy laws in the United States and this Privacy Policy. Please note that privacy laws in the United States may not be the same as, and in some cases may be less protective than, the privacy laws in your country, and while in the United States personally identifiable information may be subject to lawful access requests by government agencies.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

The Site and our business may change from time to time. As a result, it may be necessary for us to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or supplement this policy at any time. If a material change to the terms of this policy is made, we will send you an email or post a notice on the Site’s homepage with a link to the new policy. Modifications will be effective thirty (30) days following the date of posting such a notice or such other date as is communicated in any other notice to you. Your continued use of the Site following the effectiveness of any modifications to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance by you of those modifications. If any modification to this Privacy Policy is not acceptable to you, you should cease accessing, browsing, and otherwise using the Site and contact us at [email protected].

12. Dispute Resolution

If you have a complaint about our privacy practices, we will take reasonable steps to work with you to attempt to resolve your complaint under the arbitration procedures described in the Site’s Terms of Use. BY USING THE SITE OR PARTICIPATING IN THE DATABASE, WE EACH AGREE TO SETTLE DISPUTES ONLY BY ARBITRATION, INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT (EXCEPT CERTAIN SMALL CLAIMS). THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND REVIEW IS LIMITED, BUT AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THE AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD. You must first send us a notice of your complaint that includes a written statement of your name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to your complaint, and the relief you are requesting (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice must be addressed to Acme Industrial Company., 441 Maple Avenue, Carpentersville, IL 60110, and sent by certified mail as described in the Site’s Terms of Use. If you do not reach an agreement with us to resolve your privacy complaint within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you may commence an arbitration proceeding under the Site’s Terms of Use.

13. Acceptance of These Terms

By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and the Site’s Terms of Use. If you do not so agree, please do not use the Site. If we change this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, your continued use of the Site following the posting of such changes will signify your acceptance of those changes. By providing personally identifiable information to us, you fully and unambiguously consent to the collection and processing of your information throughout the world, including, without limitation, in the United States and in other countries that may be considered as having less than adequate protection for your personally identifiable information.
