You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for Poole Shop, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void.
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Poole Shop. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Poole Shop must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of the Terms of Service is found by a court or other binding authority to be invalid, you agree that every attempt shall be made to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in that provision, and the remaining provisions contained in the Terms of Service shall continue in full force and effect.
GOVERNING LAW
The Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide access to our Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of the Terms of Service, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree any legal action or proceeding between Poole Shop and you relating to the Terms of Service or the Services shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for Poole Shop, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void.
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Poole Shop. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Poole Shop must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of the Terms of Service is found by a court or other binding authority to be invalid, you agree that every attempt shall be made to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in that provision, and the remaining provisions contained in the Terms of Service shall continue in full force and effect.
GOVERNING LAW
The Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide access to our Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of the Terms of Service, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree any legal action or proceeding between Poole Shop and you relating to the Terms of Service or the Services shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

A cookie is a small data file transferred to your computer when it is used to access our Services. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience while using the Services. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including to enable certain features of our Services, to better understand how you interact with our Services, to determine interest in particular content, and to monitor aggregate usage by visitors and online traffic routing. You may be able to instruct your browser, by changing its option, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the online services you visit. You may also remove persistent cookies by following your web browser’s help file directions. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of our online services or all functionality of our online services.
We and our service providers may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means in connection with the Services and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of users, to determine the success of marketing campaigns and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates. This information is collected anonymously, in a manner that does not personally identify you.
When you visit and interact with the Sites, we and/or third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services to us may collect your Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”), which is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Sites, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use IP Addresses to monitor the regions from which Users navigate the Sites and for fraud prevention purposes.
In this Privacy Policy, we refer to all information collected from or about you, including Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, as “Your Information.”
OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We mainly use Your Information, either alone or in combination with other information, so that we can provide, enhance and personalize our Services and related content, products, and marketing efforts.
Your Information is used and disclosed for, but is not limited to, the following purposes:

to respond to your questions and comments;
to communicate with you regarding Services updates, offers, and promotions and for other marketing purposes;
to help us develop, customize, deliver, support and improve our Services, content, and advertising;
to help authenticate any account you create with us;
to protect the rights or property of Poole Shop or our users, and prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities;
for distribution to third-party service providers that provide services to us;
to protect the security of our Services and business;
to conduct system administration and system troubleshooting and to diagnose or fix technology problems;
for our internal purposes (such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve our products, services, and communications);
otherwise, as disclosed to you at the point of collection;

We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically. After you terminate your use of the Services, we may continue to use your Non-Personal Information for statistical purposes or other purposes as we see fit. Please note, we cannot guarantee that Non-Personal Information will not identify you as we cannot guarantee that others with access to Non-Personal Information may not have knowledge sufficient to identify you.
PUBLIC FORUMS
The Services have features that enable users to post content publicly (including, without limitation, user comments). The protections described in this Privacy Policy do not apply when you provide information (including Personal Information about you or any person) in connection with your use of these public forums.

These third parties may have access to your Personal Information. If they do, this access is provided so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and we ask these third parties not to otherwise use or disclose your Personal Information in ways that are prohibited by this Privacy Policy, except to the extent required by law. However, Poole Shop is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of such third parties.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us via mail at Silverplate, Inc., dba Poole Shop 4010 Sharon Road Charlotte, NC 28211, or via e-mail at [info@Pooleshopcharlotte.com].
Effective: February 1, 2018.
This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) serves to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of the information we receive when you access and use our website (the “Site”), services, software, mobile applications, and all other products and services (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Services”) owned, controlled or offered, directly or indirectly, by Silverplate, Inc., dba Poole Shop (“Poole Shop”, “we,” “our” or “us”), including the Services offered under Poole Shop or via our www.Pooleshopcharlotte.com Site. This Privacy Policy is a legally binding agreement between Poole Shop and you (and your employer or an entity if you are acting on their behalf, “you” or “your”) as the user of the Services. By using the Services, you hereby warrant and represent that (i) you have read, understand and agree to this Privacy Policy, (ii) you are over 18 years of age, and (iii) if you are acting on behalf of your employer or an entity, you have the authority to accept and agree to this Privacy Policy. PLEASE DO NOT USE, INSTALL OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Services. Your use of the Services following any such notice will signify and constitute your agreement to and acceptance of such revised Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, company name, email address, telephone number and credit card information, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you interact with us, we collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide. For example, when you create an account with us, update your account data on our Sites, sign up for our email lists, participate in any of our promotions or otherwise use certain aspects of our Services, we may ask you to provide information such as your name, company name, e-mail address, physical address and phone number. We also collect Personal Information about your customers that you share with us or that customers provide while shopping or during checkout. In addition to collecting information on the Services, we may collect information from you when you communicate with us over the phone, including via text messages, or via e-mail. You can choose not to provide any information that is requested of you by us. However, this may limit your ability to use the Services.
We collect Personal Information when you register to join the Services (or choose to refresh your account data) by logging into an account that you already have with a third party social networking platform (“SNP”) via our Services. For example, our Services allows you to create an account and login to the Services using your Facebook account credentials through Facebook Connect. If you create a user account by logging into the SNP via the Services, you are using the Personal Information you have already provided to the SNP (such as your “real” name, e-mail address, age and other information you make available via the SNP) to create your account on our Services. Accordingly, if you use Facebook Connect to join the Services, you are allowing us to access the Personal Information in your Facebook account pursuant to Facebook’s terms and conditions governing your use of the Services via Facebook. The information we receive from an SNP may depend on the privacy settings you have with the SNP, so please check the SNP’s privacy and data practices.
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
We also collect information in a form that does not personally identify you (“Non-Personal Information”) for any purpose. Non-Personal Information can include certain Personal Information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous.

We also use cookies and other technologies to passively collect Non-Personal Information as described below.
NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT
We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies, now and hereafter devised, that automatically record certain usage information. This information may include your IP Address (defined below) and other unique identifiers for the particular device you use to access the Internet, browser type, your web or application request, your interaction with our Services, your interaction with other websites and online services (e.g., purchases you make), the webpage or other feature you were using before you came to our Services, pages of our Sites that you visit, access times and dates, and other similar information. We do not treat this information as Personal Information (except to the extent required by local law).
