We do not represent or warrant that access to the Website, or any part therein will be error-free or uninterrupted, and we do not guarantee that users will be able to access or use all its content or features at all times. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) any information posted on the Website with or without notice.
Circular 230 Disclosure: Pursuant to U.S. Treasury Department Regulations, unless otherwise expressly indicated, any federal tax advice contained in the Website, including attachments and enclosures, is not intended or written to be used and may not be used for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters addressed herein.
The Website and its content is “as is” and without any warranties, express, implied or statutory. We and our members, managers, employees and suppliers specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, accuracy, suitability, applicability, merchantability, performance, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement or any other warranties of any kind. No advice or information (oral or written) obtained by you from us shall create any warranty.

We do not warrant that you will be able to access or use the Website at the times or locations of your choosing; that its content will be uninterrupted or error-free; that defects will be corrected; or that it will be free of inaccuracies, misrepresentations by users, viruses or other harmful components.
To the maximum extent permitted by law and except as otherwise prohibited by law, in no event shall we or our members, managers, employees, affiliates, licensors or business partners (collectively, the “Related Parties”) be liable to you based on or related to the materials, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and they shall not be responsible for any losses or damages, including without limitation direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages arising out of or in any way connected with access to or use of the Website, even if we or Related Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This provision applies only to damages arising from use of the Website and does not apply to personal injury or any injury caused by alleged fraud.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a court shall find that any of the above disclaimers are not enforceable, you agree that neither we nor any of our Related Parties shall be liable for any damages in excess of $100.00 to you or any third party from any use of the Website. This limitation shall apply regardless of the basis of your claim or whether or not any remedies provided fail.
Some states may not permit certain disclaimers and limitations, and any such disclaimers or limitations are void where prohibited.
Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our members, managers, employees, licensors, business partners and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from (i) your use of and access to the Website; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, property or privacy right; or (iv) any conduct, activity or action that is unlawful or illegal under any state, federal or common law or is violative of the rights of any individual or entity engaged in, caused by or facilitated in any way through the use of the Website. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or your use of the Website.

Disputes, Governing Law and Jurisdiction
You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Website, or any service provided by us will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small-claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our address specified in the Notice section below.
Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we both agree that we have each waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
Any dispute or alleged claim you may have with respect to your access or use of the Website must be commenced within one year after the occurrence of the events leading to the dispute or alleged claim.
The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern this Agreement. Any arbitration shall be held in Colorado (the “Dispute Resolution Location”). To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or us may be brought by you only in a state or federal court located in the Dispute Resolution Location. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE AND AGREE TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION LOCATION.
General
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found for any reason to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be given its maximum enforceable effect or shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.
Revisions. This Agreement may be revised only in a writing signed by us or posted by us to the Website. In the event we update this Agreement, and you are made aware of the update, your continued use of the Website after the update shall constitute an agreement to the updated terms. You are obligated to check the revision date at the top to note any changes therein. This date will be updated after each revision.
No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Website.
Assignment. We may assign our rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized assignment shall be null and void.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that we would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of irreparable harm or other damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Website and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written.
Notices. All notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to Crystal Fantasies, 3127 Swallow Place, Fort Collins, CO 80525; Attn: [email protected].
Survival. Any provision of this Agreement that may reasonably be interpreted as being intended by the parties to survive termination or expiration of the Agreement, shall survive any such termination or expiration.

This Privacy Policy explains our online information collection and use practices and the choices you can make about the way we use such information. It is important that you take the time to read and understand this Privacy Policy so that you can appreciate how we use your personal information. REMEMBER, IF YOU USE OR ACCESS THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

For users who are citizens of the European Union (“EU”), this Privacy Policy is subject to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and other applicable privacy laws.

Aggregate Information. We may also collect anonymous, nonidentifying and aggregate information such as the type of browser you are using, device type, the operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
Why Is Your Information Being Collected?

We need to collect your personal information so we can respond to your requests for information, only if requested. We also collect aggregate information to help us better design the Website. We collect log information for monitoring purposes to help us diagnose problems with our servers, administer the Website, calculate usage levels, and otherwise provide services to you.

We may use anonymous information that we collect to improve the design and content of our Website and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze how our Website is used, analyze industry trends and offer you programs or services
Do We Share Your Personal Information?

In general, we will not share your personal information except (a) for the purposes for which you provided it; (b) with your consent; (c) as may be required by law (e.g., in response to a court order or subpoena or in response to a law enforcement agency request); (d) as we think necessary to protect our organization or others from injury (e.g., when we believe that someone is causing or is about to cause injury to or interference with the rights or property of another); or (e) on a confidential basis with persons or organizations with whom we contract to carry out internal operations or as necessary to render the Website. With your knowledge and consent, we may share your personal information with our business partners. We may also share aggregate information with others, including affiliated and nonaffiliated organizations. Finally, we may transfer your personal information to our successor-in-interest in the event of an acquisition, sale, merger or bankruptcy.

Are There Other Ways Your Personal Data Could Be Shared?

You may elect to share certain personal information with individuals or with the public via your use of the Website. In this case, you will control such sharing. For example, the Website may make it possible for you to publicly share information via social media such as Facebook or Twitter. Be aware that when you choose to share information with friends, public officials or with the public at large, you may be disclosing sensitive information or information from which sensitive information can be inferred or determined. Always use caution when sharing information through the Website. You understand and agree that we are not responsible for any consequences of your sharing of information through and beyond the Website.

How Can You Access and Control Your Information?

For instructions on how you can access your personal information that we have collected or how to correct errors in such information, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. We will promptly stop using your information and remove it from our servers and database at any time upon your e-mail request. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access, making corrections or removing your information.

How Do We Store and Protect Your Information?
After receiving your personal information, we will store it on our Website systems for future use. We have physical, electronic and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission or data storage solution can ever be completely secure. As a result, although we take industry-standard steps to protect your information (e.g., strong encryption), we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or receive from us or that we store on our or our service providers’ systems.
If you are visiting the Website from outside the United States, you understand that your connection will be through and to servers located in the United States and the information you provide will be securely stored in our web servers and internal systems located within the United States.
We store personal information for as long as reasonably required for its purpose. We may store information longer for legitimate business reasons (e.g., personal information may remain in backups for a reasonable period of time) or as legally required. Otherwise, we store your personal information until you request us to remove it from our servers.
How Do We Use Cookies And Other Network Technologies?
To enhance your online experience with us, our web pages may presently or in the future use “cookies.” Cookies are text files that our web server may place on your hard disk to store your preferences. We may use session, persistent, first-party and third-party cookies. Cookies by themselves do not tell us your e-mail address or other PII unless you choose to provide this information to us. Once you choose to provide PII, however, this information may be linked to the data stored in a cookie. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, providing you with as much control as you wish as to the decision to accept/reject the cookie and delete the cookie upon leaving our Website. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of our Website.
We or our service providers may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” “embedded links” and other commonly used information-gathering tools in connection with some Website pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages. We may use these tools for such purposes as compiling aggregate statistics about Website usage and response rates. A pixel tag is an electronic image (often a single pixel) that is ordinarily not visible to website visitors and may be associated with cookies on visitors’ hard drives. Pixel tags allow service providers to count users who have visited certain pages of the Website, to deliver customized services and to help determine the effectiveness of our Website. When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, pixel tags can inform the sender of an e-mail whether and when the e-mail has been opened.
As you use the Internet, you leave a trail of electronic information at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may use clickstream data as a form of non-PII to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate through the Website, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. We will use this information only to improve our Website.
At this time, the Website and Services do not specifically respond to do-not-track signals.
Collection of Information by Others

We may provide clickable links to certain third-party websites from our Website. Please check the privacy policies of these other websites to learn how they collect, use, store and share information that you may submit to them or that they collect.

Children and Young People’s Information

We do not knowingly collect any information from any minors, and we comply with all applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR, Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and associated Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) rules for collecting personal information from minors. Please see the FTC’s website (www.ftc.gov) for more information. Our Website will not knowingly accept personal information from anyone under 13 years old in violation of applicable laws without the consent of a parent or guardian. In the event that we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided PII to us without parental consent, we will make efforts to delete the child’s information in accordance with COPPA. If you have concerns about our Website, wish to find out whether your child has accessed our services or wish to remove your child’s personal information from our servers, please contact us at [email protected].

California Privacy Rights

California law allows California residents to request information regarding our disclosures, if any, during the prior calendar year of their PII to third parties. To make such a request, please contact us at [email protected]. Please include enough detail – at a minimum, your name and e-mail address, if any, for us to locate your file. We will attempt to provide you with the requested information within 30 days of receipt. We reserve our right not to respond to requests sent more than once in a calendar year or to requests submitted to an address other than the one posted in this notice. Please note that this law does not cover all information sharing. Our disclosure only includes information covered by the law.

Changes to this Policy

Because our business needs may change over time, we reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy. If at any time in the future we plan to use your PII in a way that differs from this Privacy Policy, we will revise this Privacy Policy as appropriate. Your continued use of the Website following our notice of changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such changes.
