Users understand that it is their own responsibility to assess the policies of such websites.

Use the information published by or linked from Bins Analytics materials at your own risk. NO Bins Analytics CONSTITUENT SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR INJURIES OF ANY KIND, whether direct or indirect, that result from its websites, materials, or information sources linked from them, or from any other event.

Bins Analytics is free to restrict access to or discontinue publication of any material or format at any time without notice or liability.

Even if one or more Bins Analytics constituents have been informed ahead of potential problems that might cause damage, injury or loss, users agree to hold all Bins Analytics constituents harmless in all cases, notwithstanding any negligence or wrongdoing involved.

To the extent that any laws clearly disallow limitations for certain types of damages, the total liability of all Bins Analytics constituents for all types of claims shall in no case be larger than the user’s payment to access the information from which a claim may arise.

Provider Policies

Bins Analytics contracts with third-party providers, such as for services, including those who sell Bins Analytics materials to the general public. The websites of some of these providers may be linked to from the Bins Analytics website.

Users understand that Bins Analytics is not in control of third-party policies. And users understand that policies vary across different companies, websites and over time making it impractical to list every policy here that may affect users. Users also accept that every provider that may be utilized may not be apparent, such as those performing background functions. With regard to third-party providers that are apparent, such as those linked from this website, users are free to assess their policies as often as desired to suit their needs and act accordingly.

By engaging in activities that involve Bins Analytics or its third-party providers, including but not limited to subscribing to or purchasing materials produced by Bins Analytics, users automatically consent to the submission, collection, receipt, processing, storage, usage and transfer of user data by, to or from Bins Analytics, and by, to or from any relevant third-party providers. Users further consent to receiving communications from Bins Analytics and its third-party providers as may be deemed necessary.

Transfers of user data may occur between any of the following: Bins Analytics, users, and relevant third-party providers. Transfers between users are limited to those initiated by users. Users may also initiate transfers to nonusers. As detailed further in other sections of the policy on this web page, the user data that Bins Analytics accesses is limited, and the ways in which Bins Analytics uses the user data that it accesses is also limited.

Users understand that Bins Analytics may authorize some third parties providing services for Bins Analytics to share user data directly with each other, strictly in fulfillment of their obligations to Bins Analytics. But Bins Analytics never authorizes transfer of information related to funding a purchase—such as credit card numbers—between its third-party service providers.

Users may directly modify or delete their data held by any third-party providers linked from this website using whatever means the provider may make available to them that are in accord with the provider’s policies. Every provider linked from this website may not offer such a means. For example, removing user data from aggregated website-traffic data may not be possible. And every third-party provider may not store user data.

Returns

Bins Analytics does not sell products directly to the public. Contact prospective vendors or any vendor that made a sale regarding their return policies. Policies may vary.

All purchases, including those through links on this website, are made from merchants other than Bins Analytics and will not be accepted for return or exchange by Bins Analytics. If there is a problem with an order or its delivery, please contact the merchant that made the sale.
