About Registration
DFS provides registration as a service to you, our customer. You choose whether or not to take advantage of it.
If you register with us, we store your information in an effort to make your ordering
experience faster and easier. After registering, you simply identify yourself with
the user name and password that you have selected. Further, our "auto-login" service
allows you to automatically access your purchase history and order status without
having to re-key your user name and password.
Here is what we store for you and why:
- Your past purchase history -- you don't have to remember what or how much;
it allows you to reorder with just one click.
- Your purchasing information (billing, shipping contact, phone, credit card)
-- frees you from re-keying the information on every order.
- Your line of business or accounting software -- gives us the opportunity to
offer promotions, products, and advice tailored to meet the needs of your business.
The information you provide during registration is stored in a secure database and
seen only by you. You may modify your purchasing information at any time.
On the registration form, you may choose to receive various communications from us.
If at any time, you would like to discontinue communications (e-mails, phone calls,
faxes, newsletters or advertising from our partners), you may let us know on the registration form.
About Surveys and Contests
On occasion, DFS may conduct a survey or offer a contest. It will always be your
decision whether or not to participate. We use the information gathered through
these methods to help us develop new and improved products and market them to you.
In addition, the information may help us tailor your experience on our site, showing
