Shipping and Processing Fees

In the event products are sold on our site, our “Free Shipping” policy is for items being shipped inside the contiguous U.S. only if a coupon is offered. These items will ship for free if the total merchandise total is for a stated value or more. In order to keep your costs down and our pricing simple, we either provide free shipping for applicable orders, flat rate shipping or, in certain cases, charge shipping per item. All items outside of the U.S. will incur a shipping charge. This charge, if any, is indicated in your shopping cart when you are checking out. We won’t surprise you with any hidden charges or handling fees. The price you see in the shopping cart is the price you pay, with one exception: if you are ordering from Florida, we are required to charge sales tax.
Beware of companies who mask their shipping charges and surprise you with prohibitive shipping and handling fees or oversize charges at the end of the checkout process. Make sure you know the total cost of your purchase when shopping around.
We try to keep it as simple as possible – our pricing is straightforward, which saves you time and energy.

We are currently only shipping within the United States however we plan to expand our shipping capabilities soon to other Countries.

Lead-Time
The average delivery times posted on our website are for orders shipping within the contiguous United States. Items outside the U.S. will take longer. Each product will have an approximate lead-time or approximate shipping time frame. All products are different and we try to reflect accurate lead times for all of our varying products as we strive for the very best customer service however we are not liable in any way if lead times alter from what is published.

Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of an order. Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without notice.

Depending on your credit card company, there could be a time period after our processing time that it shows up in your account. If you have any questions at all or have the need to return an item please email us at editor@theseventimes.com.

From time to time we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy policies are consistent with ours. These are known as our Select Partners. In such cases we might rent, exchange, share and/or cross-reference information, including contact information about you that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.

We use that combined information to enhance and personalize the shopping experience of you and others with us, to communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes.

International Customer Privacy

For international shipping orders, The Seven Times partners with a third party to process your order accordingly.

When we identify that your order is one that will be shipped internationally, we work with our third party provider to complete your order. On the checkout page, you will be required to submit credit card and contact information (name, billing address, shipping address, email address and phone number) to the third party to complete your order. Upon completion of your order, the third party will notify us of the approval of your order, and we will then ship approved orders to third party. Simultaneously, the third party will purchase the product from us, which allows them to take title to the product(s), bill your credit card, collect and remit any duties and taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and arrange for the product to be delivered to you. In this process, the third party makes the sale to you as the merchant of record. When ordering a product, you will be presented with the third party’s terms and conditions to which you must agree in order to receive the product(s) you ordered.

Once you place your order, you will be prompted to check the box to indicate if you would like to receive information from The Seven Times regarding offers and promotions that may be available from time to time. If you check the box, our third party will share your information with The Seven Times and we will protect and use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you choose to provide The Seven Times with your information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers located in the United States.

When you visit our web sites, we send one or more cookies to your computer or other device. We may also use cookies in emails that you receive from us. A cookie is a small data file that is placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit a web site. A session cookie expires immediately when you end your session (i.e., close your browser). A persistent cookie stores information on the hard drive so when you end your session and return to the same web site at a later date the cookie information is still available. Generally, we use cookies to improve the quality of our service when you visit our web site and other web sites of interest to you. We also use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products, services and advertising to suit the personal interests of you and others, estimate our audience size, assist our online merchants to track visits to and sales at our web sites and to process your order, track your status in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or analyze your visiting patterns.

Security

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, our web sites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and address so only we are able to decode your information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do so at your own risk.

We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.

Protecting Children

The Seven Times takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. Our web sites are general audience sites. We do not permit anyone under the age of 13 to register with us.

Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any contact information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the Internet.

Links to Third Party Web Sites

Our web sites may contain links to web sites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked web sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access such linked web sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked web site before disclosing any of your information on such web site.

Policy Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy in whole or in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on our web sites, as applicable. Those changes will go into effect on the effective date posted in the notice and at the end of the revised Privacy Policy. The new policy will apply to all current and past users of our web sites and will replace any prior policies that are inconsistent. Your continued use of our web sites or other services constitutes your acceptance of the practices described in the revised Privacy Policy.
