21. Security. This website takes precautions to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our log in/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers becomes locked (as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’). While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take measures to protect user information off-line. Because our website is an extension of Richard's Super Premium Ice Cream, the store and online inventory and customer databases are linked. However, we do not store credit card numbers from online transactions and, at log in, users are offered the option of not having their billing or shipping address details stored in our customer database. If such an option is exercised, those details will remain only on the customer order form, which is necessary to track customer orders. Access to the customer database is limited to those employees with a need to perform specific functions (such as shipping, order transaction, customer service, billing) and each access is password protected. All email communication regarding sales orders will refer to credit card numbers only by their final four digits.
22. No Legal Effect: The paragraph titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
