a service made available by the Provider and all content, information,
services and software ordered or provided on or through this Web Site
(“Content”) may be used solely under the Terms and Conditions of Use
Agreement (“Terms of Use”).
The Provider is not affiliated
with Thomson/West™,
which produces CD-ROM products under the LawDesk®

By using this Web Site, you acknowledge
that you have read, understood and agree to comply with the Terms

We may from time to time change the terms, notices and conditions that

2. Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement relates solely to the online information collection
and use practices of our Web Site located at www.lawdesk.com ("Web
Site"). Your information privacy is important to us. To better
protect this privacy we provide this Privacy Statement explaining our
online information practices and the choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used.
3.
Privacy Protections For Children Using The Internet
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, we
do not collect or maintain information on our Web Site from those we
actually know are under the age of 13, nor is any part of our Web Site
targeted to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors to
our Web Site who are under 13 not disclose or provide any personally
identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided
us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child's
personally identifiable information from our records.
4.
Commitment to Data Security
Provider is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect
your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
For example, we store the personal information on computer systems with
limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When the
transmission of highly confidential information (such as a credit card
number or password) is required over the Internet, we protect it through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own
risk.
If
a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information,
it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not
share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with
anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving the Web Site
or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

What Information About You Do We Collect?
Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable
information from each visitor to our Web Site. However, it does recognize
the home server of visitors but not email addresses. This means that
we can tell which Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) our visitors use
but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors
that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web site.
This information is used only for internal purposes by our technical
staff.
This
Web Site does track certain information about the visits to our Web
site. For example, this information may be used to compile statistics
that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web Site and
any individual pages. These statistics may be used internally to improve
our Web Site and possibly for product development and/or marketing purposes.
The aggregated statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other
third party marketers, however, the statistics contain no personal information
and cannot be used to gather such information.
In
a few areas on our Web Site, we ask you to provide personal information
that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and
use certain information, Content and services available from our Web
Site, or to enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with
customer service or technical support issues or to follow up with you
after your visit. It is completely optional for you to participate.
In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with requested information,
you may not be able to access all of our Web Site's content or services.

of providing to you Content and/or services that you request. For example,
