Circle City Swimwear Online Privacy Policy, Returns, Terms of Use, etc and Trademarks, Copyrights

Privacy Policy:

The following policy statement will attempt to explain how Circle City Swim and Sportswear, Inc. (CCSS) and CircleCitySwimwear.com (CCSW) protects the privacy of information transmitted over the Internet from its website visitors.  Generally, we only obtain specific and individualized data about you when such information is supplied online voluntarily - i.e., when you send e-mail to or purchase goods from us.  We then use this information for the purpose of fulfilling your requests.  However, we may gather generic online information automatically, solely to help us determine the success and usefulness of our website... or lack thereof.  This generic information does not reveal in any way your identity (name, home or email address) - it may include, but not exclusively: your operating system or browser type, what pages you visited while on our site, how much time you spend on various pages of the site, your domain name types (.com, .org, etc.), and from what web site you were referred from.  If we use this information at all, it is only to determine customer service needs.  In the future, we may increase our technical abilities (or, more specifically, decrease our technical ineptitude) for gathering data about you in order to enhance the services offered to our customers.  This privacy policy may be periodically updated to reflect any such changes to our practices (or just when I need to look particularly busy at my desk... like now).

This website employs "cookies".  Mmmmm.. cookies.... "Cookies" are small segments of text that are transmitted to your web browser and stores information on your hard drive.  This information is later transmitted back to our server upon a later visit to this site.  Cookies allow servers to recall previous transactions to avoid repetition in data gathering (your email, address, etc. but NOT things like credit card info).  For your protection, this information is only stored on our secure server, and cannot be intercepted and decoded by a third party.  You can configure your browser to notify you when it receives a cookie.  You also have the right to accept or deny the cookie all together.  But really, who doesn't like cookies?  Unless they're the box of ThinMints©®™ that have been lurking in the back of the freezer for two years.  Those are just gross.  We got rid of ours at a party last year...

We promise not to sell, trade, barter, give away or publicly publish (say that 5 times really fast) any information obtained about you to anyone outside of CCSS unless: 1- Explicitly authorized by you (unlikely); 2- we are legally required by state or federal law (not without a fight);  3- such disclosure is required to protect the safety of employees, customers, or property of CCSS (sometimes necessary when the stalkers come a knocking... 'cause we're so popular.  And good looking.  And humble);  4- In the event of a real zombie attack, all bets are off, and quite frankly, I'll give them anything they want - but they are mindless zombies, and probably won't know what to do with such information.  In every instance, when we wish to contact customers, respond to messages, confirm purchases, or transmit information requested by a visitor, we will use e-mail.  I don't like using the phone and, quite frankly, have a lousy phone voice.  Also, by ordering from us, you agree to receive periodic emails from us, mostly containing any new products, our "Hot Buys" or any specials we are running.  If at any time you receive an e-mail you do not want from CCSW, you can request that we not send further e-mail by clicking "unsubscribe" at the bottom of the email or by emailing us at webmaster@circlecityswimwear.com with "OPT-OUT" as the subject - but then you might miss out on our wonderful and money-saving specials, so do so with absolute knowledge you'll probably never, ever receive another e-mail from us.

CCSW and it's online purchasing partner(s) have security measures in place for protecting the valuable data conveyed during your time with us.  We employ SSL (secure socket layers or some such tech jargon) encrypted servers to transmit your sensitive information on our ordering page (look for the little locked padlock in the corner of your browser window).  CCSW's employees, partners and subcontractors are required to protect the privacy of such data with their lives.  We want you to feel confident that your privacy will be protected when you access your account or purchase goods from us.  We must, though, deny any responsibility for the privacy protections or content offered by outside sites to which our website may contain links to.  Because we desire accuracy in the information we obtain and use about our customers, we will attempt to verify our data and certainly ask our customers to notify us of any inaccuracies of which they may become aware through their online account data and bills.

Copyright Information

 All content included on this site, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, and software, is the property of CCSW or its content suppliers and protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. The compilation (meaning the collection, arrangement, assembly and/or blatant plagerization) of all content on this site is mostly the exclusive property of CCSW and may be protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.

 All software used on this site is the property of CCSW or its software suppliers. The content and software on this site may be used as a shopping, selling, and e-card resource. Any other use, including the reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, republication, display, or performance, of the content on this site is strictly prohibited.   But we all know that by just saying this, doesn't mean it won't (or doesn't) happen, so we're fully prepared to instruct our lawyers to fire off cease and desist letters at our discretion.

  CCSW maintains this Site for your personal entertainment, information, education, and possibly purchasing. Please feel free to browse the Site. You may download material displayed on the Site for noncommercial, personal use only provided you also retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained on the materials. You may not, however, distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, repost, or use the content of the Site for public or commercial purposes, including the text, images, audio, and video without my written permission.

Trademark Information

 The trademarks, logos, and service marks (collectively the "Trademarks") displayed on the Site are registered and unregistered Trademarks of CCSS and others. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on the Site without the written permission of CCSW or such third party that may own the Trademarks displayed on the Site. Your use of the Trademarks displayed on the Site, or any other content on the Site, except as provided in these Terms and Conditions, is strictly prohibited. You are also advised that CCSW will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law, including the seeking of criminal prosecution, sending nasty letters from our lawyers and even personal visits from our 'friends'.

Returns, Credit/Debit card policies, Terms and Conditions, other stuff I add at random.

Returns:

Our online store's policies differ from our physical store.  Please read carefully. 

Before use, please examine your merchandise carefully for any shipping inaccuracies or manufacturing defects. We will attempt to replace any such merchandise within 30 days from the date of purchase.

Returns must be made within 30 days of the invoice date or they will not be accepted. All returns must be in unused condition and its original packaging must be included.

Shipping and handling fees are not refundable.

SALE, CLEARANCE AND CUSTOM ITEMS MAY NOT BE RETURNED OR EXCHANGED.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

All returns are subject to approval before refunds or exchanges will be made. All returns are the responsibility of the customer; therefore, please send your package via a prepaid, traceable and insured method to help guarantee a safe documented delivery to:

Circle City Swimwear
5060 E 62nd St    #116
Indianapolis, IN 46220

Please allow 3 weeks for your exchanged item(s) to be shipped to you. Per our credit card processor, please allow two billing cycles for a credit to appear on your credit card statement for item(s) returned.

Any credits issued will be processed in the same manner in which the purchase was made (i.e., a purchase that was put on a credit card will be credited to that same card number).

We WILL NOT honor online prices in-store. With such a razor-thin profit margin on many products, the dollar or less savings online reflects the lower overhead costs in running the online store. The stellar personal service and warm fuzzy feeling you get by purchasing items in our physical store surely outweighs the few bucks saved online.

Use of Credit and Debit Cards:

We utilize industry standard encryption regarding your personal information, including credit and debit card numbers, in partnership with VeriSign and their now parent company PayPal.  Fraudulent use of credit/debit cards will be reported and prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.  We will never email you asking for your personal or credit/debit card information.  See the definition of phishing (external site).

Speaking of credit and debit cards, we have in place a system that will not charge your card until we ship your order.  There will be a 'hold' on the amount, reducing your available credit, but not actually charging for the money until we ship.  This allows us to adjust the amount in the case of out-of-stock items, shipping adjustments, pirate attacks, etc.  

If in the unlikely situation we cannot fulfill your order to your satisfaction, our crack team of internet commerce  specialists (i.e. Me) will void the transaction. 

Terms and Conditions:

  1. Your access to and use of the Site is subject to all terms and conditions herein and all applicable laws. By accessing and browsing the Site, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the Terms and Conditions and acknowledge that any other agreements between you and CCSW are superseded with respect to the subject matter hereof.

  2. While we at CCSS use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information in the Site, we make no warranties or representations as to its accuracy. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content of the Site.

  eyeyeye. Any personal data (for example, your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) you transmit to the Site by electronic mail or otherwise, will be used by CCSS in accordance with the privacy policy of the Site. Any other communication or material you transmit to the Site, such as questions, comments, suggestions or the like, will be treated as non confidential and non proprietary.

  4. Images of people or places displayed on the Site are probably the property of, or used with permission by, CCSS.  The use of these images by you, or anyone else authorized by you, is prohibited unless specifically permitted by these Terms and Conditions or specific permission provided elsewhere on the Site. Any unauthorized use of the images may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.

    4a. Speaking of images, we cannot be held responsible for color differences between what you see online on your monitor and what the product actually looks like In Real Life (IRL).  With the literally hundreds of different monitors at one's disposal, the different lighting available when I take the picture, or the quality of images I borrow from our vendors, any images used on the site are most likely of poor quality and the color could be off by several shades.  One manufacturer's "kumquat" could be another's "sunny orange", which might be your "plain orange". 

  V. Unless they are particularly interesting, CCSS has not reviewed any or all of the sites linked to the Site and is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of any off-site pages or any other sites linked to the Site. Your linking to the Site, off-site pages or other sites is at your own risk and without the permission of CCSS.

  6. I may at any time revise these Terms and Conditions by updating this posting. You are bound by any such revisions without notice and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then current Terms and Conditions to which you are bound.  Or, like most people, you can skip all the quasi-legal mumbo-jumbo and just assume that what's written here only protects you, and not the other way around.


  Use of Site

 You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of the site and the Internet. It is solely your right to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, merchandise and other information provided through the service or on the Intranet in general.  Personal responsibility does not - nay - cannot surrender.

  CCSS and its agents do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the service will be corrected, even as great as Hostasarus is, sometimes stuff happens. 

 Risk of Loss

 All items purchased from the on-line store are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

  Final all-encompassing Super Disclaimer

 Your use of and browsing this Site are at your risk. Neither CCSS, any of its agencies, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Site is liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, or use of, the Site. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the Site is provided to you "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON INFRINGEMENT (whatever that means, IANAL). Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. CCSS also assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable for, any damages to, or viruses/worms/Trojans that may infect your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in the Site or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video, or audio from the Site (or, just buy a Mac and don't worry about it.. I don't). Finally, I is not responsible for typhographic or grammer errors, 'cause we all know I flunked high school freshman English...  no, really - I did.

*Full blown plagerization has been responsible for some of the contents of this page - in fact, I stole that phrase from here
