Term & Conditions

WEBSITE TERMS OF USE

Effective Date:  2024-05-29.

These Terms of Use govern the use of the website  www.lolacharlescommunications.com (the “Website”), operated by   (“Company”), any links to other websites contained on the Website, other online resources accessible via the Website, and your purchase of any products offered for sale through the Website (“Products”).

By accessing and using the Website, you agree to these Terms of Use (aka, the “Terms”).

Company reserves the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update these Terms of Use. Modifications become effective immediately on being posted on the Website. Your continued use of the Website after amendments are posted means that you acknowledge and accept the modified Terms of Use. Except as provided in this paragraph, these Terms of Use may not be amended.

The text below each section is aimed to give a plain English breakdown of what’s contained in each section. Please make sure you read the entire agreement, as all terms are legally binding, and the plain English wording is just a summary!

 

1. Price and Payment Terms. Pricing is subject to change without notice. Company reserves the right to limit quantities. Your total price for any Products purchased will be stated on your e-mailed purchase receipt. Payment must be received by Company prior to Company’s acceptance and fulfillment of an order. Prices are based on U.S. currency. Company reserves the right to decline the acceptance of any order, including, without limitation, if the listed price of the Product is a mistake and/or has been hacked. Orders are not binding on Company until accepted by Company.

Prices are subject to change.

 

2. Taxes. Applicable sales taxes may be added to the final price you pay for any Products unless you provide Company with a valid and correct tax exemption certificate. Some states require that their residents file a sales or use tax return for items purchased online. For purchases where sales tax is applicable you will see the tax calculated on the checkout page before you are asked to confirm the purchase. In exchange for Company allowing you to use and access this Website and collecting and remitting taxes required on your purchases, you waive your right to claim that the tax collected on any purchase is incorrect, and you agree to hold Company and its related parties harmless for any harm or other damages you may incur as a result of any error by Company in calculating the taxes you owe for your purchases.

Sales tax is sometimes a necessary evil. Company is not currently required to remit sales tax for products in every state, but we’ll do our best to comply with all applicable laws. You should be aware of any sales or use tax obligations you might have.

 

3. Delivery and Ownership. Company will arrange for delivery of your purchased digital Products via email as soon as possible after payment is confirmed. 

 

All rights – including copyright and all other proprietary rights -- in the Products remain with Company, and delivery of a Product to you only grants you permission to you, individually, to use the Product, but this permission is not equal to a sale or any other grant of rights to the Product. See the Intellectual Property section below for further terms regarding Company’s rights to all Products.

Please note the delivery timeframe stated in this Section. Your rights to any Products are limited and do not include ownership or commercial use.

 

4. Support. Unless specifically stated in the description for any Product, Company does not provide support for any Products. Company makes best efforts to make sure Products are accurate and up to date but cannot make any guarantees.

Support not included unless specifically stated.

 

5. Product Description and Availability. Company may revise and discontinue Products at any time. Product availability is subject to change without notice. Company attempts to be accurate in its descriptions of Products. Company does not guarantee, however, that descriptions of Products or other content on this Website are accurate, complete, reliable, current or free from errors or omissions. Colors, patterns, sizes, and other visual features of Products might display differently depending on the device on which you view a Product. Images are shown for representational purposes only.

 

Product availability is subject to change. Products might look different from screen to screen.

 

6. Refund Policy. Due to the nature of digital Products, all sales are final and Company does not issue refunds. However, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, and you submit a written statement to us at EMAIL showing that you have used/consumed the digital Product from beginning to end and include a reason why the digital Product was not satisfactory, Company will review and issue a refund accordingly.

 
  

This is our refund policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date:  2024-05-29 

PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains the privacy practices governing the types of information collected through the website ( www.lolacharlescommunications.com) (the “Site”) owned and operated by   (“Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), our use of that information, and your privacy choices and rights.

This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect from or about you from:

• Your use of the Site;

 • Your purchase of products available for purchase on the Site (“Products”); 

• Your signing up for a freebie and/or our email list through the Site (the “Email List”); and/or

• Your creation of an account through the Site, if/when we make that feature available.

You must read this Privacy Policy carefully because when you use the Site, you are consenting to the collection, processing, and retention of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about the Privacy Policy, you can contact us at  [email protected].

If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Site.

If you are in the European Economic Area and you use this site, you consent and permit to the transfer of your data from the European Economic Area to the United States only for purposes laid out in this Privacy Policy.

  1. Information We Collect

We collect information that falls into two categories: information you voluntarily provide, and information that your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other device (all referred to as “Device”) or browser provides automatically.

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide.

When you interact with our Site, we, or our service providers (acting on our behalf), collect “Personal Information” -- information that relates to you as an identifiable individual -- that you intentionally and actively provide to us, such as your first and last name, address, email address, and when necessary, credit card or bank information. We collect this information when you:

• Purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process;

• Make arrangements to return a Product you have purchased;

• Inquire about a Product or our Site;

• Create an account on our Site; or

• Sign up for an Email List or to receive our newsletter and/or advertisements.

B. Information About You That Is Provided Automatically

When you browse our Site, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address as well as other information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system (“Usage Information”). Usage Information includes your Device type, your unique Device identifier, your location, and the type of browser software and operating system you are using.

C. Cookies and Other Data Tools.

 We, and/or our third party service providers, use “cookies” (data files placed on a Device when it is used to visit our Site) and other identifiers to collect Usage Information, for security purposes, to enable you to use the Site, to collect information regarding your preferences, to allow you to share content via social media when you are logged in to a particular platform, to deliver relevant advertising to you, and to generally make the Site perform better. 

 For example, we use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about visitors’ use of this Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this Site, how users find the Site, and what pages they visit. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve this Site. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. To opt-out of Google Analytics, please use Google’s opt-out tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.  

 You can opt out of cookies, but if you do, some features of the Site may not work correctly. To learn how to reduce the number of cookies you receive or delete cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder, you can check your browser’s help menu or other instructions related to your browser. (For example, Safari has a help article entitled “Manage cookies and website data in Safari on Mac,” and Firefox currently has a variety of optional security features, including blocking cross-site tracking cookies and sending websites a “Do Not Track” signal that you don’t want to be tracked.)  

 The Site also contains “web beacons” or clear GIFs, or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a web page or in an email, to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors viewing a web page or email. For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page. Web beacons may also be used to provide information on the effectiveness of our email campaigns (e.g., open rates, clicks, forwards, etc.). 

The Site will also feature social buttons from networks such as  Facebook, Instagram Pinterest. To do so we embed code that they provide. We do not control that code ourselves. In order to function, their buttons generally know if you’re logged in. We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it.

If you access the Site via a mobile app, we use additional identifiers, such as the advertising ID provided by Apple or Android, for similar purposes.

If you wish to do this, please follow the removal instructions in any communication you receive or send us an email to  [email protected] with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line.

  • Damages. You may have the right to claim compensation for damages caused by our breach of any data protection laws.

In addition, if you are in the European Economic Area and you have any complaints about how we use your Personal Information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country. A list of data protection authorities is available at http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/item-detail.cfm?item_id=612080.

For further information on each of the above-mentioned rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, see the Guidance  from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individual rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.

The Site is governed by and operated in accordance with the laws of the United States. We make no representation that the Site is governed by or operated in accordance with the laws of any other nation. If you are located in the European Union, Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the United States. The laws of the United States may not protect the privacy of your information at the same level as provided by the laws of your country. We transfer and process Personal Information only as permitted under this Privacy Policy.

C. Rights of California Residents

California residents are entitled once a year, free of charge, to request and obtain a list of all third parties to whom their personally identifiable information was provided for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2017 will receive information about 2016 sharing activities). Company does not disclose any user information to third parties for third party marketing purposes, so we are not required to comply with this law.  

The California Consumer Protection Act (or “CCPA”) has additional protections for California residents. Company will honor the request of any California resident that makes any of the following requests:

  • An inquiry as to what Personal Information Company has about the user and what Company does with that information;

  • A request to delete the user’s Personal Information; or

  • A request not to sell the user’s Personal Information.

  1. A Note on Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to other websites, maintained by third parties. These links are provided only as a convenience to you. Company has no control over, and is not responsible for any content, products or services offered by or found on third party sites, or their privacy policies or practices. Links to third party sites do not constitute Company’s assumption of liability for or sponsorship, endorsement or approval of these sites or the content contained on these sites. The information practices on those websites may be different from ours and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please consult the privacy notices on those websites to learn more about their practices.

  1. Children

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with any Personal Information without first receiving their parent or guardian’s verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use the Site. We will then dispose of such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you believe we may have any information from or about a child under the age of 13, please contact us at  [email protected].

  1. Storage of Your Information

We will generally store information associated with your account until it is no longer necessary to provide services to you, until you ask us to delete it, or until your account is deleted, whichever comes first; but there are some exceptions to this general rule. We will retain information from deleted accounts to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, process warranty claims, distribute important product information (such as recall information), enforce our agreements, and take other actions permitted by law.

You can request deletion of your Personal Information at any time by contacting us using the contact details set out below. Note: If you request that data we maintain about you be deleted or erased, no one (neither us nor you) will be able to recover that information later.

  1. Security: We Cannot Guarantee the Security of the Site

 As you can see, the Site uses an SSL (or "secure sockets layer") certificate, which provides secure, encrypted communications between a website and internet browser. We take seriously our obligation to safeguard the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information collected from our users. We limit access to your Personal Information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. You should be aware, however, that no system is completely secure from hackers and network failure and error, and we cannot guarantee the confidentiality, security and integrity of information maintained on our Site for that reason.

In other words, although we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that your information will always be secure.

Email is not a secure form of communication. Please do not send us your credit card number, social security number or other Personal Information via email.

We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

  1. Changes

We may update and post revisions to this Privacy Policy from time to time and will update the Effective Date when we do so. If our Privacy Policy changes in a way that significantly affects how we handle your Personal Information, we will not use the Personal Information we currently maintain without providing you notice or obtaining your consent, where appropriate. We encourage you to review this page for the latest information about our privacy practices.
