Terms Of Use And Privacy Policy

 

Terms of Use

Okay, so you found this page. Well done! There’s really a ton of “legal-beagle” stuff you need to know and this is the place we get to tell you about it. So, just by accessing this site you are indicting that you accept all of these terms and understand that these terms can, and will, change from time to time and that if you come back, you again acknowledge that you’re okay with all the changes and will abide by all the rules, regulations and requirements we set forth.

  First: You MUST (and we mean it) be at least 18 to access the information in this site. If you’re under 18, go away until you are 18. You are NOT permitted to purchase anything or access any part of this site for any reason. Because we don’t want anyone under the age of 18 using this site for any reason, no information obtained by this site falls within the COPA (child online privacy act) and is not monitored as doing so.

Now for those of you that are 18, or older, we’ve got to tell you a few things. When you are on the site we’re going to ask you for some of your personal information because it’s the only way we can send you the products your order, respond to your emails or for you to gain access to our totally cool newsletters and other products. And in case you’re one of the sneaky ones and you give us information that is bogus, or is not complete, we have the right (and we’ll use it) to refuse you access to this site, its resources and to terminate your access at any time. We know this sounds tough, but you should have seen what our lawyers wanted to do to you…

Restrictions:
You may, and we want you to, use this site for the purposes expressly permitted by this site. What this means is that you cannot use this site for any other purpose, without our company’s prior written permission. For example, you cannot co-brand this site, or hyperlink to this site without our written permission. If you do anything we don’t like, we’re going to send Guido the Killer Pimp after you and he doesn’t take kindly to people that try to take advantage of us.

In case you didn’t understand that last paragraph, it boils down to this: Don’t do anything with our site for any reason other than the reason the site is here in the first place. No co-branding, no right-clicking to save pictures and reuse them, no copying text and in no way are you to ever give the impression that you are affiliated with our company, unless you are, and then you know all about the rules. If you have any questions, and even think you might be breaking the law call us first! We mean it!

It’s Our Information
  All of the content from our logo to the last period on the last page is ours and so is any other content on any web site owned and operated by Meet Me At The Top and we are very stingy with it.

Privacy Policy

Meet Me At The Top strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.

We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party, except as required by law. Period.

Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.

Like most Web sites, Meet Me At The Top also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors.

For example, when you register for a newsletter, or purchase a product you may be asked to provide certain personal information including your name, address, and phone number. The personal information collected from Members is used to manage the member’s account for billing or other notification purposes.

As technology changes, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies. However, this will almost certainly deny you access to certain really cool portions of the site or you may be asked to re-enter your user name and password.

Meet Me At The Top does not recommend or endorse any specific marketing system or method. We recommend that you always research all marketing systems, methods and sales strategies thoroughly before making any business decision.

What we do with the information we collect
We collect information that enhances your visit and delivers you more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone, unless the “G Men” force us to (except as required by law.)

When you send us an email the email from which you sent the original message is used to respond to your inquiry. We do not use the email address for any other reason and we do not share it with anyone.

We frequently conduct surveys to both business and individual customers. We really want your feedback on these because your input helps us create a better online experience and overall product. Your personal information and responses remain strictly confidential even if the survey comes from a third party. Remember, your participation in our surveys is voluntary.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Meet Me At The Top to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by Meet Me At The Top and other topics we think you might find of interest.

We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Meet Me At The Top expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices.

For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Meet Me At The Top page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Meet Me At The Top you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Meet Me At The Top is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.

Meet Me At The Top does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Meet Me At The Top and this policy. IF you don’t want the world to see or read what you’ve done, don’t send it.

Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.

Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed by California law. If a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following location: San Diego.
