Privacy Policy

The Artel respects your privacy. Consistent with our commitment to providing you a satisfying and helpful shopping experience, we have found that collecting Personal Information (defined below) through www.TheArtel.com, helps us better understand the products and services most helpful to you. Our Privacy Policy describes the types of information we gather online and how we use this information. Please read this information carefully.

By accessing the site, you agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Accordingly, you should check the date of this Policy (which appears at the top of this page) and review any changes since the last version. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this site.

Use of Information Collected by Us

The Artel may collect two types of information about users: "Personal Information" (such as name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card number and the items you purchase) and "Aggregate Information" (such as information about how many users log on to our Site on a daily basis).

We use customer information in an effort to improve your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, promotions, and company. We may also use this information to make offers to you, to help us target specific products to you, and to help us develop and improve our site.

Personal Information Collected Online by TheArtel.com

Personal Information is collected online by us when users voluntarily register with TheArtel.com to purchase items, receive electronic newsletters, and when users utilize the "Email to a Friend" feature. We also maintain a record of your product interests and purchases online.

Service Providers, Consultants and Affiliates

We may share Personal Information and Aggregate Information with our service providers, consultants and affiliates for our internal business purposes.

Additional Information

No transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of TheArtel.com to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, neither TheArtel.com nor any of our service providers can ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.

Limitation on Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL The Artel, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF THESE ENTITIES HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION, UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, INABILITY TO USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM THE SITE. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose or the existence of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.
