This Privacy Statement applies to the Dietz & Watson, Inc. websites on which it appears. Your use of our website constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to, this Privacy Statement and the practices it describes
This site is owned by DIETZ & WATSON, INC., its affiliates, divisions, subdivisions, successors and assigns (collectively referred to hereafter as DIETZ & WATSON). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information, to this site.
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to Websites and/or use the necessary parental controls on your child’s computer if he/she is left unattended to search the Internet.
Like many Websites, this site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail and the use of certain documentation. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on collectively referred to herein as “Personal Information”). We will never sell, transfer, or disclose any Personal Information we gather at our Websites to any third parties without your prior consent, except in cases when we believe in good faith that we have a legal obligation to disclose such Personal Information. We never require that this Personal Information be provided in order to gain access to our sites, nor will we require visitors to disclose more Personal Information than is reasonably needed to participate in an activity on our sites. Some areas of this site may require you to submit Personal Information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, etc.) or to participate in a particular activity (such as contests, sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.
As you navigate through our Website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.
A “cookie” is a bit of information that a Website sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.
“Persistent” cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Website visitors find most valuable, and customizing the Website based on your preferences. This site may use persistent cookies.
“Internet tags” (also known as single pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1xbyx1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Website server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor’s computer. This site may use Internet tags. Tags have been placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. These tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable information through these tags.
“Navigational data” (“log files,” “server logs,” and “clickstream” data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site may use navigational data.
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection. We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively collected information, unless you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to DIETZ & WATSON offices nationwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties, located in the United States and/or any other country where Dietz & Watson may conduct business, but only
i. to contractors we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
ii. in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy; or
iii. where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.

However, in your communications with us, please keep in mind that any communication or material you transmit to any of our Websites by electronic mail or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, recipes, creative suggestions, ideas, concepts, products, marketing or promotional plans or strategies, or the like shall be deemed and shall remain the exclusive property of DIETZ & WATSON.

We periodically run contests and sweepstakes on our sites for which we ask users/participants to provide contact information (like their e-mail address). This information is used to contact the participant only when necessary in accordance with the rules of the contest or sweepstakes.
If a participant has indicated upon entering a contest or sweepstakes that he/she is under 13 years of age, the participant is instructed to enter the e-mail address of his/her parent or guardian. Further, for any game or contest where the screen names of the high scorers are posted, a user under 13 can only select a generic screen name from a list that has been developed in advance. This prevents the disclosure of any personally identifiable information.
When a participant under the age of 18 is selected as a prizewinner in a contest or sweepstakes, e-mail is sent to the parent or guardian. This e-mail contains a form that requests the participant’s real name and address and a parental permission form. For the participant to receive the prize, the parent or guardian must fill out and sign the form and then mail or fax it to the address or number indicated on the form.

Please be advised that EFFECTIVE June 1, 2010, DIETZ & WATSON has instituted a Coupon Redemption Policy to help ensure proper and timely redemption of its coupons. This policy has been built in accordance with the best practices adopted by several major Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturers.
Please take the time to read this policy thoroughly to ensure that your practices are in compliance with its regulations.
DIETZ & WATSON Coupon Redemption Policy
Effective: June 1, 2010
The terms and conditions in this document constitute DIETZ & WATSON Coupon Redemption Policy (the “Policy”), and constitute DIETZ & WATSON’S terms and conditions for reimbursing retailers for the redemption of its coupons. Your redemption of coupons and submission of them directly, or indirectly through agents, to DIETZ & WATSON shall evidence your binding agreement to comply with the Policy and evidences your warranty of compliance with the Policy in your redemption of our coupons. This Policy constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, course of dealings and arrangements between the parties with respect to coupons for the Branded Products. No additional or different terms or conditions in any retailer policy, purchase orders, invoice, quotations, licenses or other communications, issued by you, your agent(s) or other third parties, shall be construed to modify any of the terms of this Policy, whether or not such terms or conditions materially alter this Policy, and such additional or different terms shall (a) be of no force or effect, (b) be deemed objected to by DIETZ & WATSON without need for further notice of objection and (c) not, in any circumstance, be binding on DIETZ & WATSON unless expressly accepted by DIETZ & WATSON in writing. No course of dealings between DIETZ & WATSON or its agents shall in any way terminate, amend, modify or supplement this Policy.
It is the intent of DIETZ & WATSON to process coupon reimbursements in the most efficient and cost effective way possible, to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers the promotional incentive that coupons offer.
1. Coupons are redeemable only by a consumer purchasing the Branded Product for specific product indicated on the coupon (i.e. the specific brand, size and quantity indicated), prior to the expiration date, with face value of the coupon deducted from your retail-selling price. Only one coupon will be honored for each item purchased and cannot be combined with any other offer. DIETZ & WATSON shall not be responsible for any additional coupon promotion costs, including but not limited to costs associated with “coupon doubling” promotions.
2. You agree to take reasonable care in honoring coupon and to ensure that coupons are not reproduced or altered in any way or in uncirculated or mass -cut condition. You agree to submit coupons you have accepted from actual consumers and agree not to cut or submit coupons on your own behalf or on behalf of other retailers. Coupons that you redeem may not be reproduced, photocopied, trimmed, mutilated or altered in any way by you (retailer), your employees or your agents.
3. Coupons will be redeemed only at retail locations in the USA, its territories and at U.S. Military bases.
4. Coupons are non-assignable and are void if transferred from their original recipient to any other person, firm or group. DIETZ & WATSON does not permit the unauthorized distribution, collection, sale, barter, exchange or assignment of its coupons for any reason. Therefore, coupons are not to be placed in swap boxes, taped to Branded Products, or placed on hooks near DIETZ & WATSON products, gathered and distributed by any person or group for charitable fund-raising purposes, or otherwise used in a way except as described in section 1 above.
5. Coupons are void if taxed, restricted or prohibited by law.
6. The consumer must pay any applicable sales tax.
7. Coupon reimbursements and/or coupon adjustments MAY NOT BE DEDUCTED FROM PRODUCT INVOICES OR PURCHASE ORDERS. Invoice deductions and/or deduction fees VIOLATE this Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, honoring or submitting coupons does not give you any right to offset with respect to any DIETZ & WATSON product invoices.
8. Coupon reimbursement against properly redeemed coupons will only be made by DIETZ & WATSON or clearinghouses recognized by DIETZ & WATSON as agents of retailers of DIETZ & WATSON products for the redemption of DIETZ & WATSON coupons. Only coupons received by DIETZ & WATSON or clearinghouses recognized by DIETZ & WATSON or clearinghouses recognized by DIETZ & WATSON within six months of coupon expiration date will be honored.
9. Properly identified and redeemed coupons must be submitted:
a. Directly by you (retailer) , or
b. Through DIETZ & WATSON authorized clearinghouses or billing agents recognized by DIETZ & WATSON as agents of retailer of DIETZ & WATSON products. Coupons from unauthorized intermediary agents will not be accepted. Disclosure of redemption data to a third party by retailer, clearinghouse, billing agent or other intermediary agency is strictly prohibited.
10. You agree that you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in accepting and submitting coupons, including IRS reporting requirements, such as obtaining an appropriate taxpayer identification number.
To redeem coupons for DIETZ & WATSON, send properly redeemed coupons to:
DIETZ & WATSON COUPON REDEMPTION
5701 Tacony Street
Philadelphia, PA 19135
11. You will be reimbursed for the following amounts:
12. Face value of coupons or, if the coupon calls for free merchandise, for the retail selling price (up to the stated cap amount), plus
13. $ .17 per coupon “Customer Handling Fee” for each coupon properly redeemed*
a. DIETZ & WATSON has developed a set cost per coupon above face value of $.17 per coupon referred to by DIETZ & WATSON’s as “Customer Handling Fee” to fully compensate the Customer and their agents for all associated costs, including all handling and transportation expenses of any kind. DIETZ & WATSON will not pay any additional fees or cost related to postage, shipping or transportation fees. Due to system limitations and for ease of reconciliation of the $.17 per coupon Customer Handling Fee will be computed in the following manner when a retailer or their clearinghouse submits an invoice for payment and settlement $.08 per coupon handling fee plus a supplemental handling fee of $.09 (billed as shipping/postage) per coupon to arrive at the $.17 per coupon Customer Handling Fee. DIETZ & WATSON will not pay any additional deduction fees or costs related to postage, shipping, transportation, and/or miscellaneous fees.
14. The Customer Handling Fee mentioned above constitutes full and complete compensation to the Customer and its agent for the customary and reasonable expenses incurred in processing the coupon from point of sale to redemption at DIETZ & WATSON designated site. The Customer Handling Fee takes into account the total cost of coupon handling by the Customer and its agent, including postage, shipping, and transportation, when reasonable and efficient coupon processing methods are utilized by Customer and agent. Other expenses, such as clearinghouse charges and handling fees, are costs negotiated between Customer and its clearinghouse or agent, and are not the responsibility of DIETZ & WATSON and therefore the fees involved will not be passed to DIETZ & WATSON.
15. The Customer agrees not to take unauthorized deductions from DIETZ & WATSON product invoices for any amounts relating directly or indirectly to coupon redemption. If such authorized deductions are made, DIETZ & WATSON reserves the option to take action, including but not limited to, suspending shipments/credit to the Customer and /or a reduction in the Customer’s promotional funding to offset any and all unauthorized coupon related deduction balances.
16. DIETZ & WATSON’s or DIETZ & WATSON’s agent’s actual count of coupons received shall be final and shall govern their repayment.
17. DIETZ & WATSON reserves the right to request evidence of proof of purchase to show that sufficient stock was purchased to justify the number of coupons submitted and reserves the right to audit the coupon sorting and billing service of any retailer or any agent involved in the handling process.
18. You agree that you shall bring any claim or lawsuit involving coupon processing or payment disputes within one (1) year of original date of coupon payment or such claims shall be deemed extinguished. Any such lawsuit shall be filed and conducted in a state or federal court located in New Jersey and shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of New Jersey. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
19. If false or misleading verification information is provided on a questionnaire to DIETZ & WATSON or certified clearinghouse, redemption privileges with DIETZ & WATSON may be permanently terminated.
20. The cash redemption value of each coupon is 1/100 of one cent.
21. Each shipment of coupons will be considered as a whole and DIETZ & WATSON reserves the right to refuse payment for an entire shipment if any portion of the shipment is found to be improperly redeemed.
22. You acknowledge that it FRAUD to present coupons for redemption other than as provided by this Policy. You, for yourself and your agent(s), hereby authorize us to do all things necessary to ensure compliance with this Policy and agree to cooperate with any investigation of improper redemption or fraudulent activity whether such investigation is conducted directly by DIETZ & WATSON, or by postal authorities or federal or state investigators. You, for yourself and your agents, further agree to assist in referring pertinent information to the fraudulent or unlawful redemption of coupons to federal or state enforcement agencies. Without limiting the foregoing, DIETZ & WATSON reserves the right to forward coupons to and related records which DIETZ & WATSON judges to be misredeemed, to law enforcement agencies for their review and investigative purposes.
23. YOU AGREE THAT FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PROPER REDEMPTION OF ANY PART OF COUPONS SUBMITTED FOR REDEMPTION MAY, AT THE SOLE OPTION OF DIETZ & WATSON, VOID ALL COUPONS SUBMITTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND ALL COUPONS MAY BE RETAINED AS PROPERTY OF DIETZ & WATSON, WITHOUT PAYMENT. THE EXERCISE, FAILURE TO EXERCISE OR WAIVER IN WHOLE OR IN PART OF ANY RIGHT, REMEDY OR DUTY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS POLICY WILL NOT CONSTITUTE THE WAIVER OF ANY PRIOR, CONCURRENT OR SUBSEQUENT RIGHT, REMEDY OR DUTY UNDER THIS POLICY
24. YOU AGREE TO MAKE SURE ALL PERSONNEL WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZTION AND ALL OF YOUR AGENTS COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY.
25. DIETZ & WATSON RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE TO ANY PARTY, TO MODIFY, SUPPLEMENT, REVISE OR ELIMNATE ANY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS POLICY
