The Company will provide the information that it in good faith believes is required to comply with the law, order, or other process. The Company may also have to disclose certain information in court documents if is has to bring an action against you, for example, to collect a debt you owe it.

Except as described above, the Company will not knowingly disclose or authorize the disclosure of information collected as set forth above to any third party without your consent unless (1) we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may have breached our Website Terms and Conditions or who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the Company’s rights or property, other Website users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities or (2) we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
