User information PRIVACY:
OPU is sensitive to privacy issues with respect to the use of customer information provided to use over the Internet. We believe it is important for you to know how we treat the information about you that is received by us when you visit. In general, you can visit OPU on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web server collects domain names, and not the email addresses of our visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, number of pages viewed, what pages are most popular, and methods by which our site was found. OPU does not reveal any personal information that users provide to us through an OPU web site to any third party. The information is used strictly within OPU to help us with developing new products and services, to make changes to or further develop our web sites, and to allow us to know about customers who may want further information about our products and services.

If you volunteer your e-mail address, telephone number or other personal information through an on-line form, that information may be shared within OPU. We may occasionally contact you via postal mail or e-mail regarding new products, services and programs or special offers.

OPU does not specifically restrict children from visiting our site. We urge children not to give us any information without first obtaining permission from their parents, except in the case of emergency. In some cases, there are age limits for certain contests, giveaways and promotions.

The OPU web site may contain links to other sites such as our affiliates and community service organizations. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites. You will see a sign-off message when exiting our site via a link. Because of the evolving nature of the technologies that we use and the way that we conduct business, we may update this policy from time to time.

VIRUS PROTECTION:
Each party that submits materials agrees that in sending files, they will use only computer systems employing reasonable means to check for and prevent the spread of computer viruses.

THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY MAY BE UPDATED.
