PRIVACY

Our policy is clear:
We will not release or sell ANY of your information. Please review our full policy below.

FramedShare understands the importance of keeping your personal information private and secure. We have adopted strict policies and guidelines of security and confidentiality. On our website, we use the latest security. In addition, only employees trained in the proper handling of customer information who are required to access the information for your gift processing are able to view your information.

Our website is an extension and an integral part of our traditional business - it is a convenient service tool for you to use to order FramedShares. Our website provides you access to the same traditional service features you have come to expect from FramedShare.

Our Commitment to Privacy and Security
We undertake, at all times, to take all necessary steps to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and its subordinate legislation when handling any personal information. When you supply any personal information to us we will endeavour to take all steps to meet our legal obligations to you in the way that we deal with that information.

At FramedShare, we are adamant about protecting our customers' privacy. Our policy is clear: We will NEVER release or sell any of the information you give us without your clear permission. We'll use the information you give us to protect your security and to channel relevant information to you in the way that you want it. FramedShare will also make various promotions and offers of interest available to FramedShare Registered Members and Customers unless you have opted-out of promotional material.

We at FramedShare have created this privacy guarantee in order to demonstrate just how committed we are to protecting the privacy of our Customers and the privacy of other visitors to our website, www.FramedShare.co.uk. This statement explains why we ask for the information that we do, how we will use it, and what access you have to the information we collect.

Our site uses a secure server (SSL) to encrypt all of your payment information. We use strong security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of your information under our control.

Your Personal Information Collected
We collect and store contact information, which we may use to tailor your experience at our site, show you content, products or services that we think you might be interested in, and display the content according to your preferences. We also collect and store the following other information about you when you visit our website: your IP address, current web page, pages visited and time spent on our site, and browser you are using.

FramedShare collects and stores the following personal information from the purchaser and gift recipient when a purchase is executed from our website, catalogue, fax, or telephone: name, telephone number, address, e-mail address, credit card number (if applicable), and type of share purchased.

How Your Personal Information is Used
We DO NOT share your personally identifiable information, except to process and fulfil your order. The FramedShare website uses an order form so that you can request information, products, and services. Contact information (e-mail address, telephone number, etc.) from the order form is used to send your orders and information about our company to you (however, you can opt-out of promotional e-mails. See Below). Your contact information is also used to get in touch with you when necessary to fulfil your order. Contact information for gift recipients may also be collected solely in order to ensure correct gift delivery and proper registration of the stock purchased. Financial information (credit card numbers, credit card expiration dates, billing address, etc.) that is collected is used to bill you for products and services. Financial information is not used for any other purpose than billing.

When you consent to receive information and purchase share from any of the companies FramedShare provides, or arranges on your behalf, we will provide these companies with your recipient contact information. This is necessary as the product we sell is a "live" security and the recipient is benefited with all shareholder rights in the company in which the share is purchased.

From time to time FramedShare will send an electronic mailing (Newsletter) to everyone who has provided us with an electronic mailing address. If you receive such a mailing and wish to opt-out of any future mailings, simply follow the instructions in the e-mail to unsubscribe. At times, FramedShare will also use traditional avenues of contact using ground mail (or, snail mail) unless you have opted out of communication with FramedShare. See the "Choice/Opt-Out" section below.

How Third Party Information Is Used
When a customer makes a purchase for someone other than themselves, information is collected on the person who the purchase is intended for (called the recipient). Recipient information collected entails name and address. The recipient's information is solely used to fulfil the order request by the purchaser.

FramedShare institutes a website feature in which a person can send a referral message ("E-mail this site to a friend") to someone to notify a person of the FramedShare website. This is solely a one time "invite" e-mail and information provided to send this e-mail (such as name and e-mail address) is not stored and kept.

Choice/Opt-Out
FramedShare hereby provides express disclosure that the user will automatically receive our newsletter and promotional material via both electronic and traditional methods at the point of collection.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the instructions in the newsletter. Each newsletter has a unsubscribe feature at which "clicking" the link will automatically unsubscribe the user from further mailings from FramedShare. In addition, to deactivate your personal information, the user may also contact us by phone or mail.

Use Of Cookies

Notification Of Changes
If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via e-mail. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. However, if you have opted out of all communication with FramedShare, or deleted/deactivated your account, then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post the notice on our website notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also e-mail users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

RETURNS

FramedShare places the highest value on customer satisfaction and the quality of our product and service.

Due to the nature of underlying securities, please note that your purchase is a real "legal" share certificate. Fulfilling your order entails three critical stages:

Confirmation
Registration
Delivery

Our policy depends on; the step at which your order is, at the time of your cancellation or return.

Confirmation Stage
Once an order is placed, FramedShare assumes that the order information you have supplied is correct and the order proceeds to the creation of your Gift Box.
If you are unhappy with an item when you receive it or if you simply change your mind please return it to us within 30 days, with the despatch note, having taken reasonable care of it and in an unused state complete with packaging and all components, and we will refund you the price you paid for that product (excluding £5 to cover P&P, credit card processing fees and the cost of making your gift pack). We will make the refund directly to the credit/charge card used to place the original order within 30 days or earlier once we have inspected the returned item and are satisfied that it has been returned to us in the condition it was in when delivered to you. You will only have to pay for the return postage of the Products. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Registration Stage
The registration stage is the most critical stage in the FramedShare ordering process. This process entails physically registering the recipient's information in order for the recipient to become a shareowner of the company in which the purchaser bought.

During this stage, no refunds are available and no changes to shareholder information can be made. This is due to the nature of underlying securities. FramedShare will have already incurred the cost of the actual share's market value, the stock markets registration fees and normal company administration costs.

Delivery Stage
The delivery stage entails the gift to be delivered to the Recipient via a third party postal service.

FramedShare will unconditionally accept the return of a frame for refund of frame cost or for replacement due to manufacturing defect or shipping damage within a resonable time after delivery. The refund will be credited towards the purchaser only. Frame refunds cannot be credited towards the recipient if the recipient is different than the purchaser.

If the share certificate is to be returned and cancelled, the market value of the security and all FramedShares fees are non-refundable during this stage due to the nature of underlying securities.
If the share certificate is being returned due to shipping damage, FramedShare will fully reprint and reship the certificate to the recipient at no charge.

If the share certificate is being returned due to misspelling of recipient information, such information being wrongly supplied by the purchaser than the recipient will need to contact the shareholding companies share registrar to amend any errors the registrar may charge a fee for this service (It is highly recommended that both parties review the documents in the Confirmation Stage to avoid a situation as such). If however this mi-spelling of recipient information is due to the fault of FramedShare, its servants or agents, the Certificate shall be replaced and retuned at no cost.

International Orders - FramedShare is not responsible for import tariff taxes imposed by the issuing county.
