Consent

Before continuing to access and use this Site, you must obtain all required consents and approvals from your Company and from any customers, clients, and other third parties who may be affected by, or may need to consent to your access and use of the Site and any of the features, materials, opportunities, and services provided through the Site, whether such consents and approvals are required by law or otherwise. By using our Site, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Statement and the Site Terms of Use, which are an integral part of this Privacy Statement. By using our Site, you also consent to the collection and use of this information by Block and Company as disclosed here.

Security Information

Strong precautions are taken to protect the information of the users of our Site. When users submit sensitive information via the Site, we attempt to protect that information both online and offline.

We take credit card information security seriously and use a variety of technical solutions to make shopping safe at our Site. Furthermore, we encrypt and protect your information utilizing the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user information offline. The information of our Site's users, including the sensitive information mentioned above, is maintained in a restricted section in our offices. Only those of our employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our account or customer service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or across mobile carriers and networks, or method of storage - electronic or otherwise - can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive through the web browser program containing information about the user that enables us to track and personalize the Site to enhance your experience. For instance, by setting a cookie on our Site, we can provide you with storage of items in your shopping cart between visits. However, suppose a user rejects the cookie. In that case, he or she may still use our Site although we will be unable to provide such users with the personalized shopping experience we can offer using the cookie data.

Special Offers, Account Updates and Opting Out

We may communicate with the users of the Site via e-mail, telephone, mail, or fax in order to provide services, content, product information, notification of offers, discounts, or in regard to customer service issues relating to an account. The users of the Site are given the opportunity to 'opt out' of receiving certain marketing communications.

For example, our e-mail messages have an "opt-out" feature for users of the Site who buy from us but do not want to be notified about special offers in the future. Users can click on the “opt out” link. They will be taken to our official opt-out page. Confirm that you wish to be removed from our e-mail list and you will automatically be removed. You can also reply back to the e-mail message and type "unsubscribe" in the subject field. We will remove that e-mail address from our e-mail list. In addition, users who have an account on the Site can opt out of receiving promotional e-mail by going to: https://www.blockandcompany.com/customer/account/login/?___SID=U. Once you log in to your account, you can then unsubscribe from receiving e-mails.

All such updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of these Terms or other notice on the Site. You should view these Terms often to stay informed of changes that may affect you, as your continued use of the Site signifies your continuing consent to be bound by these Terms, as so amended.
