Effective Date: May 2008This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect from you
when you visit our Website (“Website”), how we use that information,
and under what circumstances we disclose it. It will also give you
more information about how to manage the personal information that
you provide to us through the Website. This Privacy Policy applies
only to information you provide to us on-line while visiting or
using our Website or using our Materials. It does not apply to
information we have obtained or may obtain offline through other
traditional means. The Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction
with the Terms of Use located on the Website.
1. The Information We Collect.
When you use our Website, we receive and collect certain
information. The information that we receive and collect depends on
what you do when you visit our Website.
* Automatically Collected Information.
Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected
from you when you visit our Website. This information may include
some or all of the following items: the name of the domain and host
from which you access the Internet, including the Internet Protocol
(IP) address of the computer you are using and the IP address of
your Internet Service Provider; the type and version of Internet
browser software you use and your operating system; the date and
time you access our site, the length of your stay and the specific
pages, images, video or forms that you access while visiting the
site; the Internet address of the website from which you linked
directly to our Website, and if applicable, the search engine that
referred you and any search strings or phrases that you entered into
the search engine to find this site; and demographic information
concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s)
used by it.
We use this information to monitor the usage of our Website, assess
its performance, ensure technological compatibility with your
computer, and understand the relative importance of the information
provided on our Website. We may also use this data to conduct
statistical analyses on visitors’ usage patterns and other
aggregated data.
* Information Collected via Cookies.
“Cookies” are small files or records that are placed on your
computer’s hard drive to distinguish you from other visitors to the
Website. The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to
collect or track information about your activities while using the
website. A cookie may enable the website owner to track how a
visitor navigates through its website and the areas in which they
show interest. This is similar to a traffic report: it tracks trends
and behaviors, but does not identify individuals. Information
gathered may include date and time of visits, pages viewed, time
spent at the site, and the website visited just before and just
after the Website.
Cookies can be set to expire: (1) on a specified date; (2) after a
specific period of time; (3) when a transaction has been completed;
or (4) when a user turns off his/her Internet browser. A cookie that
is erased from memory when a visitor’s Internet browser closes is
called a “session” cookie. Cookies that expire based on a time set
by the Web server are called “persistent” cookies.
The Website uses “persistent cookies.” Most people do not know that
cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit the
Website or most websites because browsers are typically set to
accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every
time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie
placements. If you refuse cookies, you may not be able to browse
certain areas of the Website.
* Information Collected Using Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs.
Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs, also known as Web Beacons or Web Bugs, are
transparent graphical images placed on a website. We use these
items on its Website for reasons similar to those described above in
the Cookies section.
* Information You Actively Submit.
For most of the browsing on our Website, we neither require nor
collect “User Information.” User Information is information that
could personally identify you, for example, your name, address(es),
phone number(s), e-mail address, and credit card information. You
can browse the Website and take as much time as you want to review
our services without having to submit such User Information. In the
following instances, however, we do need you to actively submit User
Information: (1) when you want to contact us via e-mail or website
submission or (2) when you purchase items from our Website. E-mail
or other forms of electronic communication, including website
submission, are not secure and/or confidential means of
communication.
While we attempt to prevent unauthorized access to your User
Information, or other information you submit, such access may occur.
The User Information and credit card information you provide to make
purchases from us is secured during transmission using industry
standard e-commerce security technology such as Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption technology. We use SSL technology to prevent such
information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted
over the Internet. Once this User Information is received by us
and/or its third party processing merchants, it is stored in
unencrypted format.
2. Personal Information About Children.
The Website is targeted entirely for use by adults. We do not market
to or create special areas for use by children. Accordingly, we do
not knowingly collect age identifying information, nor do we
knowingly collect any personal information from children under the
age of 13 years. In the event that we discover that a child under
the age of 13 has provided personally identifiable information to
us, in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
(please see the Federal Trade Commission’s website at
www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy for more information about this Act), we
will delete the child’s personally identifiable information from our
files to the extent technologically possible.
3. E-Mail Communications.
When you send an e-mail to us, or provide your e-mail address to us,
you are communicating with us electronically and consent to receive
communication from us electronically. We may retain the content of
the e-mail, your e-mail address, and our response in order to
service your needs. We may use the data that you provide to send you
e-mail or correspondence via other means.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing e-mail, you may
unsubscribe by doing any one of the following actions:
a. Send an e-mail with your request and current contact information
to privacy@theclubservices.com;
b. Send us a fax with your request and current contact information

If you send an e-mail or letter request, please be sure to include
your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address and
indicate specifically what type of marketing communication(s) (e.g.,
e-mail, direct mail, and/or phone) you wish to receive or stop
receiving. This will ensure we identify you correctly in our systems
and accurately process your request.
We will take appropriate steps to implement your request to opt-out
of receiving marketing communications. Please note that due to
production, mailing and system timelines, in order to remove you
from our marketing lists, it may take up to: 10 business days for
e-mails or 30 calendar days for mail or fax. Until that change takes
effect, you may still receive marketing communications from us.
Also, please note that even though you may have opted-out of
receiving marketing communications, you may still receive
business-related communications. Please be aware that opting-out of
certain third party use may prevent us from providing certain
services or products that you request.
4. How We Use and Share User Information.
We may sell or share User Information to third parties outside of
our company and its subsidiaries. We may also share your personally
identifiable information with third parties in the following cases
listed below:
a. User Information is subject to disclosure in response to judicial
or other governmental subpoenas, warrants and court orders served on
our company in accordance with their terms, as otherwise required by
applicable law, or in response to requests by law enforcement;
b. User Information is subject to disclosure to protect
our rights
or property, protect its legitimate business interests, to enforce
the provisions of our Privacy Statement and Terms of Use, and/or to
prevent harm to you or others;
c. User Information may be disclosed to process credit card
transactions. In this case these transactions are handled by
established third party banking, processing agents and distribution
institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and
authorize your credit card or other payment information and to
process your order. In addition, we may disclose User Information
to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial
transaction involving us or its subsidiaries.
d. User Information may be disclosed and transferred if
we or our
business is sold or offered for sale to another company or person(s), if a petition for relief under the United States
Bankruptcy Laws is filed by or against us, or if we become
subject to an order of appointment of a trustee or receiver.
5. Linking to Third-Party Websites.
When you click on links on our Website that take you to third-party
websites, you will be subject to the third parties’ privacy
policies. While we support the protection of privacy on the
Internet, we cannot be responsible for the actions of any
third-party websites. We encourage you to read the posted privacy
statement of any and every website you visit, whether you are
linking from the Website or browsing on your own.
6. Access to and Managing Your User Information.

personally identifiable information you have provided to us through
the Website. If you have provided us with personally identifiable
information, you can contact us to request that we provide you with
the personally identifiable information we have in our records about
you. We reserve the right to limit the number of times such a
request can be made and to charge you for responding to such
requests if this process is misused or abused.

7. What You Need to Do to Protect Your Personally Identifiable
Information.
You have several options when deciding how you can best protect your
User Information. One option is simply not to volunteer it. As
stated above, this approach would allow you to still visit our
website – although it will prevent you, for example, from ordering
merchandise on-line or providing us with your comments or questions.
The Federal Trade Commission’s website, www.ftc.gov, also offers
useful information about how to protect personally identifiable
information provided to a website.

website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, how we protect it and under what circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. If we make material changes, we will also post a

consecutive calendar days following the effective date of the
modified privacy statement. Unless we clearly express otherwise, we
