Privacy Policy
This website is owned and operated by CIRCA Old Houses, LLC. We respect your privacy and
understand that you have a right to know why we collect your personal information and what we do with it.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through our Sites (as defined below) as well as
information we may collect offline.
This policy describes the type of information we collect from you and/or that you may provide us when
you visit and/or use this website and/or any of our mobile applications (individually or collectively, “Sites”).
“You/your/user(s)” means you as a user of our Sites.
By accessing the Sites, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by the terms hereof,
the Terms of Service, and any other terms or policies we post on the Sites. If there is anything you do not
understand, please email any inquiry to letters@circaoldhouses.com. If at any time you do not agree to
this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Sites or provide us with any personal information.
We reserve the right to change or update this Privacy Policy by posting such changes or updates to the
Sites or emailing you notice of the changes. Amendments to this Privacy Policy will be posted at this URL

YOUR SECURITY
We strive to keep your Personal Information private and safe. We take commercially reasonable physical,
electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security of Personal Information collected, including
limiting the number of people who have physical access to database servers, as well as employing
electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. All
payment transactions will be handled through our third party payment processors, and we will not have
access to your credit card number or other such financial data.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to
be 100% secure. While we will use reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit
through the Sites, any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that
such information will not be intercepted by third parties, and we will not be liable for any breach of the
security of your Personal Information resulting from causes or events that are beyond our control,
including, without limitation, your own act or omission, corruption of storage media, defects in third-party
data security products or services, power failures, natural phenomena, riots, acts of vandalism, hacking,
sabotage, or terrorism, and we are not responsible for unauthorized circumvention of any privacy settings
or security measures contained on the Sites.

TARGETED ADVERTISING AND REMARKETING
You may see advertisements for our products/services on other websites and mobile applications
because we work with third party advertisers to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Through
our relationships with these advertisers, we can target messaging to our users by interest-based,
demographic, contextual, and other means. These third party advertisers track your online activities over
time and across websites and mobile applications by collecting information through automated means,
including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. They use this
information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information
5284830-3
our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to websites and mobile applications
that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and
the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Sites and on
third-party websites and mobile applications that participate in the advertising networks. This process also
helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Some third-party advertising companies may be
advertising networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offer a single location
to opt out of ad targeting from member companies (www.networkadvertising.org).

Arbitration

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights
under this Privacy Policy, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be
determined by a neutral arbitrator, NOT a judge or jury. You agree that any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Privacy Policy, including with respect to the interpretation of any provision of this Privacy

of the claim as specified herein.

JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. For claims exceeding $5,000.00, the
arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures
Subject to the applicable JAMS procedure, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery in the
forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose
of the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any
provision of this section or any other provision of these Terms of Service, except as necessary to
comply with JAMS’ Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum

extent permitted by JAMS procedures, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an
equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration, and we will remain

determination of the merits of the controversy).

agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate
similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that this agreement specifically
prohibits you from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a
claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Any claim that

determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
