Avanigroup.com (“AG”) Online Privacy Policy (Jan 2005 - 2007)

AG has established the policy explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online.

1. Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your use of the AG site and/or your registration for AG products and services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms, please do not use the AG site.

AG may occasionally update this Policy. When it does, AG will also revise the “last update” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, AG will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change. AG will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however, AG will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.

A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at any time by sending an email to unsubscribe<at>avanigroup.com. Please note that, if you do, AG may suspend its provision of products and services to you. When you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any AG product and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.

(d) to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.
