iSi North America does not guarantee that any product or service description on the Site is accurate or complete, including, without limitation, price information and product specifications.  Because actual colors and the “look and feel” you see on the Site will depend on your monitor and other technical factors, iSi North America cannot guarantee that the display of any product will be accurate at any time.

Although iSi North America has no obligation to monitor any information you provide to the Site, iSi North America reserves the right to monitor, retain, and disclose that information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to comply with legal requirements; (b) to respond to claims that any information violates the rights of third parties; (c) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of iSi North America, its users or the public; (d) to comply with a court order; (e) to comply with local, federal or foreign regulations or a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency; or (f) to collect a debt owed to iSi North America.

From time to time, iSi North America uses “cookies” on the Site.  A cookie is a small text file loaded onto your hard drive so that the Site can recognize you as a repeat user of the Site, track your use of the Site and target advertising to you.  That allows for personalization of certain aspects of your visit to the Site, including, without limitation, session information; information on preferences, and past activity at the Site.  iSi North America uses cookies in part to help provide better service when you return to the Site.  Information gathered from cookies is only used on an aggregate basis.  Unless you  specifically provide your identity to iSi North America (e.g., by registering at the Site, providing information through an online form or sending iSi North America correspondence from the Site), iSi North America will not know your identity.  You can disable cookies using your Internet browser settings, but if you disable cookies, certain features of the Site may not function properly.

Any websites liked to the Site, including, without limitation, distributor and retailer websites, are governed by their own terms of use, confidentiality provisions and privacy provisions, which may differ from the provisions governing the Site.  iSi North America is not responsible for the operation of those websites and expressly disclaims any liability related to those websites, including, without limitation, any liability with respect to any terms of use, confidentiality provisions or privacy provisions that govern them.
