Our Privacy Policy

Our approach to your privacy is straightforward. We treat your individual privacy with the same deep respect that we treat our own. The following content describes our website’s information gathering and dissemination practices. If you have questions related to our privacy policies, please email us at info@SOKOSports.com .

SOKO gathers general information as customers visit our site to help us perform website administration, address server malfunctions and understand customer-related trends. The following information is gathered:

• Pages visited – Gathered so that we know which pages are most popular and helpful to our customers.
• Browser type – Gathered to ensure that our website functions properly on the browsers that our customers prefer.
• IP address – Gathered to measure site traffic. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
• Previous site – Gathered to help us understand which sites are encouraging customers to visit our site.

Our site also uses an order form to enable customers to place orders. Our order form requests information required to process, track, and ship orders, and to collect payments. Our order form requests email addresses, shipping addresses, billing addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Some of this information is shared with shipping companies strictly to process and ship orders. We do not maintain payment information in our databases. We do not sell, nor rent customer information to any outside parties. However, we do reserve the right to sell customer data as part of the collective assets of our company in the event of a company sale.

Although we allow customers to maintain accounts on our site if the customers so choose, the information retained is basic user name and password information.

Periodically, we may conduct voluntary customer surveys, or contests for marketing purposes. The information collected by these surveys, or contests is kept confidential, and no personally identifiable information is disseminated to parties unrelated to the surveys or contests.

Periodically, we may send e-mails to customers with information about new SOKO products, or services. If customers do not wish to receive these e-mails, they can e-mail us at info@SOKOSports.com and request to be removed from our e-mail list.

In rare cases, certain links on the SOKO website may direct customers to external websites that are controlled by outside parties. We do not control the information gathering and distribution policies of outside websites. These outside websites may independently gather data, request personal information, set browser cookies, or send pixels to customers. We are not responsible for any use of the information, nor clickstream data that these outside websites may gather.

We have business relationships with outside parties that provide services that may include, but are not limited to website hosting, data analysis, data back-up, security services, and credit card processing. We will only share customer information strictly relevant to the provision of these services by the outside parties. Although we fully expect these service providers to protect customer privacy, and to use customer information strictly for service provision, we cannot guarantee that these outside parties' will use of customer information in a manner consistent with our principles.

In addition to the aforementioned cases, we reserve the right to share customer information with outside parties when:

• Customers provide their consent.
• SOKO deems it necessary, in good faith, to protect the safety, rights, or property of SOKO, the public, or others.
• Required by law, subpoena, or other judicial order.
• In an aggregated form, customer information must be shared as part of an analytical research activity, an investment, company sale, company merger, or other asset transfer.

Our websire is designed for customers over the age of 18. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and we will not knowingly gather, nor retain information from customers under the age of 13.

The privacy policies described herein apply solely to our gathering, use and dissemination of customer information obtained online. They do not apply to any SOKO offline practices. However, our principles and attitudes related to, and respect for customer privacy are consistent, regardless of whether customers visit us online or offline.

Our privacy policies may change in the future. If we make significant changes to our privacy policies, we will post updates to the SOKO website. Customers' use of our website after changes have been adopted constitutes said customers' agreement with any revised privacy policies related to customer information gathered in the past, as well as in the future.

Pricing, Order Acceptance, Payment and Sales Tax

While SOKO strives to provide accurate product and pricing information, pricing or typographical errors may occur. SOKO cannot fully confirm the total price of an item until after you order. In the event that an item is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, SOKO shall have the right, at SOKO's sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any orders placed for that item. In the event that an item is mispriced, SOKO may, at SOKO's sole discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. While it is the SOKO practice to confirm orders by email, the receipt of an email order confirmation does not constitute the acceptance of an order, nor the SOKO confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service. SOKO may also require verification of information prior to the acceptance and/or shipment of any order. Please note that there may be certain orders that SOKO is unable to accept and must cancel. SOKO reserves the right, at SOKO sole discretion, to refuse service to any customer or cancel any order for any reason. Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, or problems identified by credit card processors. SOKO will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. For your convenience, you will not be charged until your payment method is authorized and your order is shipped but if your order is canceled after your credit card has been charged, SOKO will issue a credit to your credit card in the amount of the charge. You are responsible for all sales taxes on your purchase. Tax exemption certificates cannot be accepted on orders.

When an order is placed, it will be shipped to the address designated by the purchaser as long as that shipping address is compliant with the shipping restrictions contained on the Site.
