Terms Of Use

Welcome to the website of Velocity Handbell Ensemble™. We have created this website to provide information about Velocity and its concerts and events, to fulfill ticket and merchandise requests, and to accept contributions. By accessing and using the Velocity Handbell Ensemble™ website, you are hereby agreeing to be legally bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with all of the following terms and conditions, please do not use any of our sites.

​

Our website and your personal information are maintained and operated solely for the educational and non-profit purposes of Velocity. Your participation on any of our sites is at your own risk. The posted materials are provided to you “as is,” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and against infringement. Velocity does not warrant that the functioning of our sites will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Velocity websites, the server that makes them available, or any other technologies used in connection with our websites or your personal information are free of viruses or other harmful components. Velocity does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use of materials on our websites or maintenance of your personal information in terms of correctness, accuracy, reliability, or otherwise. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

​

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall Velocity be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or inability to use, the materials on our website or the maintenance of personal information, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall Velocity’s total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action, including but not limited to negligence, arising out of or in connection with your use of our website, exceed the amount paid by you to Velocity, if any, for accessing the website.

Copyright Notice

All site design, text, images, photographs, illustrations, audio clips, video clips, artwork, graphic material, code, or other copyrightable elements, and the selection and arrangements thereof, and trademarks are the property of Velocity Handbell Ensemble™ and/or other respective owners, and are protected, without limitation, pursuant to U.S. and foreign copyright and trademark laws. You may use and display the site and material contained in it for limited non-commercial and personal use only.

Privacy Policy

Velocity is committed to using reasonable best efforts to ensure the privacy of all our visitors. To help us achieve the purposes of this website (see above) in a manner that is convenient for you, we gather two types of limited information from visitors to our website: anonymous usage information and the personal information provided by those who register with us. Details about what information we gather and how we use it is presented here.

​

Velocity may occasionally update this policy. Notice of revisions will be posted here.

Anonymous Information

You are welcome to visit and browse our website as often as you like without logging in, and no personally identifiable information about your visit will be collected. Our web servers may track usage information for these visits, but on an entirely anonymous basis. This usage information is general data about how visitors use our website, which pages are most frequently visited, which websites most frequently refer visitors to our site, and how long patrons spend on our site.

​

Our servers may track your usage by logging your IP address. We do not associate the anonymous information we collect through the tags with any personal information, and we do not otherwise monitor this information on an individual basis. Instead, we aggregate this usage information and use it only to monitor broad usage trends, to evaluate the effectiveness of our website's design, to determine what customers do and do not use on the website, and to improve the website's overall usability.

​

We may perform, or have third parties perform, analyses of visitors' behavior, and may share aggregated data with sponsors and advertisers, again on an entirely anonymous basis.

Personal Information

Personal information is any data related to the personal identity of a visitor to our website. A customer's name, address, phone number, credit card number, e-mail address, and purchase history are all examples of personal information.

​

We do not require visitors to provide any personal information in order to browse our website or to obtain general information on our website. We do, however, require website users to register and provide personal information in order to purchase merchandise or tickets, request other information, or make contributions. In these cases, we collect only the personal information that a registrant specifically provides when registering, including a User Name and Password.

​

If you register, this information is used to fulfill your request and to provide a record of your transaction. It is stored by Velocity and used again in subsequent visits only if you wish to make another purchase, make a contribution, or have an inquiry.

​

We may also use personal information from registrants to add to or update our postal mailing lists and e-mail lists for season schedules, special offers, and general information. We may also use personal information to evaluate our registrants' usage and transactions, and to analyze how we can make the site more effective and interesting for you.

​

Periodically, we may provide registrants with important last-minute information and exclusive offers via e-mail, such program changes, special offers, information from our sponsors, and notification of special events. When this or any other new function becomes available to our patrons, you will have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such e-mail updates should you wish to do so.

​

We do not solicit personal information from people known to be children.

Cookies Used On This Site

A "cookie" is a text file with a unique identifier that is placed on your hard disk by a website's server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by the website that issued the cookie to you. We do not use cookies to store anonymous information or to track personally identifiable information on this site without registering. We use cookies only in the most limited manner, that is, to help our web servers maintain your current session as you go from one page to another. Without these cookies, for example, our website would not be able to keep track of your shopping cart contents.

Links From Our Site

Our site may include links to other websites. We do not control the privacy policies of these destination sites. Once you leave our servers (as you can determine by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from our policy. If you cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site's homepage, you should contact the manager of that site for more information.

Keeping Your Information Secure & Accurate

Velocity attempts to protect your information with appropriate security measures to guard against its loss, misuse, or alteration within reason. Accordingly, we use secure communications technologies whenever we transfer or receive certain types of sensitive information, such as financial data, and we restrict access to customer information to the use of authorized Velocity personnel only.

​

You can help Velocity maintain the accuracy of your personal information by notifying us when you change your address, title, phone number, or e-mail address. Contact us via velocity@velocitybells.org if you wish to update your information or if you no longer wish to receive e-communications from us. Please include both your old and new contact information so that we can make the appropriate corrections.
