Online Commerce

In addition, Chickasaw.net may allow you to purchase many different types of products and services online that are provided by third parties.  Chickasaw.net is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, timeliness, reliability or any other aspect of these products and services. If you make a purchase from a merchant on the Chickasaw.net or on a site linked to by Chickasaw.net, the information obtained during your visit to that merchant's online store or site, and the information that you give as part of the transaction, such as your credit card number and contact information, is collected by the merchant. A merchant may have separate privacy and data collection practices.  Chickasaw.net has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies.  For more information regarding a merchant, its online store, and its privacy policies, return to that merchant's home page and click on its information links or contact the merchant website directly. You release Chickasaw.net and its affiliates from any damages that you incur, and agree not to assert any claims against them, arising from your purchase or use of any products or services made available by third parties through Chickasaw.net.

When you purchase products or services on or through the Chickasaw.net, you may be subject to additional terms and conditions that specifically apply to your purchase or use of such products or services.
