In any event ExpressIt Delivery will not be liable for any

ExpressIt Delivery will assume no liability for loss or damage to
“extraordinary value” items, which include artwork, jewelry, furs, precious
metals, cash and negotiable instruments. In addition, ExpressIt Delivery will

cartons and packing available for inspection.

whose account is used by any unauthorized entity.
Online Privacy
Privacy and security are at the core of our relationship with our
customers. Therefore, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of
your private information and we use the latest security technology to protect
your sensitive data.
We don’t sell, rent, or loan our customer’s names, e-mail
addresses, or personal information to anyone at any time for any reason. That
means the messages you receive from us will be related to automatic order and
dispatch confirmation e-mails generated upon receipt of your order and perhaps
occasional e-mail to notify you about special promotions or new services.
The site uses visitors’ IP addresses to help diagnose problems
with its web server, and to administer the site. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information. The site uses cookies to save registered
users’ user name and password, if they choose. The reason for this is so that
registered users don’t have to re-enter this information each time they visit
the site. Visitors also have a choice of rejecting a served cookie. Rejecting a
cookie does not prohibit visitors from accessing and using all the services
provided through the site.
The site’s customization form requires users to submit contact
information (such as their name and e-mail address). The contact information is
used to contact the registered users when necessary (e.g., to confirm a
shipment order). Registered users may always opt-out of receiving future
mailings (see the choice/opt-out section below). The other optional information
collected during registration is used to enhance the user’s experience on the
site and to provide a personalized account service. Other optional information
collected includes courier preferences and frequently used ship from and ship
to addresses. This information is collected to save users time by not making
them re-enter the data each time they visit the site.
The site uses an order form for visitors to request information,
products, and services. The site collects visitors’ contact information (such
as their e-mail address) and financial information (such as their credit card
numbers). Contact information from the order form is used to fulfill the
service, and financial information is used to bill for the service, when
ordered. The site collects the address of the receiving party solely for
purpose of adding it to the shipper’s address book and is not shared with any
outside party. The user can choose not to have the receiver’s address added to their
address book simply by un-checking the “Add to Address Book” box when ordering
a shipment.
This site may contain links to other sites. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
Security
The site uses SSL (Secured Socket Layer) for communicating with
visitors over the Web during critical phases, such as the displaying of
personal or financial information or when generating a shipping label. The site
also has security measures in place to protect against loss, misuse or
alteration of the information under its control. All sensitive data, such as
contact information or financial information requested from users, is collected
over a secured channel and is stored on a highly secured system. Access to
these systems is restricted to authorized users only, and is logged and
monitored on a continuous basis. The physical access to these systems is also
restricted.
Credit Card Security
We are not aware of any unauthorized use of a credit card as a
result of using this site. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, however, if you
were to experience a problem, your credit card provider cannot hold you liable
for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your credit card provider does
hold you liable for any of this $50.00 amount, we will cover your entire
liability up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the
unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own and
only for purchases made at this site while using our secure server. In the
event of an unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit
card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
Opt-Out
During customization, the site provides registered users the
choice to opt-out from receiving communications about new services. Opting-out
can be done at a later time, as well by visiting the changing your personal
