no obligation to reply to any survey you might receive from us. Should you choose
to do so, we will treat the information you provide with the same high standard
of care as all other customer information.

regulation or assert our rights as well as our business partners.
‘Email a friend’
We may from time to time operate an ‘Email a friend’ service. This is a referral
service, designed to make it easy for customers to recommend our Site and related
websites or offers to a friend, and is a two-step process. First, a customer sends
us the friend's name and email address, and secondly, we contact the friend, telling
them who we are, and inviting them to take advantage of a particular offer, or to
visit our website. When we contact your friend, we always advise them of the name
and email address of the friend who made the original referral. We will not use
your friend’s details for any other purpose.
When a customer wishes to sponsor a friend and provides us with his/her name
and e-mail address, we reasonably assume that such customer has obtained his/her
friend's prior consent in order for us to process his/her data. Customers supply
such information freely and voluntarily, under their sole responsibility.
Competitions
Your participation on our website may mean that we occasionally contact you with
the opportunity to enter competitions. Entry to competitions is voluntary, and you
are under no obligation to take up an invitation from us to enter. Should you choose
to enter a competition, we will treat the information you provide with the same
high standard of care as all other customer information, and use the information
provided strictly within the entry terms of the competition and this Privacy Policy.

a product from the website or subscribing to the services changes,

immediately upon posting to the Site and by continuing to use the website, you will
