Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings. Financial information that is collected is used only to bill the user for products and services purchased from us.
• When you submit any enquiry form, if you choose to provide any personal information (such as your mailing or email address), it is used to help us send you appropriate information to address your enquiry and to keep you informed about training events, special offers and product developments. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings.
• When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings.
