you to understand the terms and conditions surrounding Mohawk’s collection
and use of your personally identifiable information through this web site.
Information Collection and Use
Mohawk collects personally identifiable information when you

The site automatically logs information about you from your browser when you visit
the site, such as your IP address, the pages you visit and similar information.
You may also choose to voluntarily provide us with information about you at various
places on the site. Personal information which we may ask you to provide includes
your name, location, e-mail address, company affiliation, telephone number, and
other similar information.
This site may place and access cookies when you visit the site. A cookie is a small
data file that web sites commonly write to your hard drive when you visit them.
A cookie file contains information that can identify you each time you visit the
site. This site uses cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on
the site. You may choose to set your computer to reject cookies if you desire.
From time-to-time Mohawk's website may request additional information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose additional
information that may be requested. Information requested via surveys and contests
may include additional demographic information.
Mohawk may use the information collected through this site to send you information
and promotional material, to process your requests for information or services,
or to customize the site for your future visits.

identifiable information. Mohawk may share information about you with others under
the following circumstances:
- when necessary to third parties who work for Mohawk in order to process your requests
or provide you information;
- when you consent to disclosure;
- by operation of law, when such information is transferred as a part of a sale of
assets including the assets represented by this site;
- to comply with law, court orders, subpoena or legal process; or to enforce or apply
Mohawk’s agreements or protect Mohawk’s rights or the rights or property
of third parties.
- In the event that Mohawk or substantially all of its assets are acquired outside
of the ordinary course of business, your information may be one of the transferred
assets.

Linked Sites
It is important to note that Mohawk’s website contains
links to other web sites and that those other websites may not follow the same privacy
policies as Mohawk. For instance, if you click an ad on our website, this may take
you away from our site to an entirely different website. This includes links from
advertisers, content providers and trade partners who may use our logo and/or style
as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may collect data from you
that Mohawk would not and may use that data in ways that Mohawk would not.
Security
This site takes precautions to protect your personally identifiable information.
In certain areas of the site, your information may be protected using industry standard
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also take steps to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices.
Correcting and Deleting Information
If the information you have given Mohawk changes and you would like to modify it
or if you would like to view the information Mohawk has about you, send your request
to the following location. In addition, if you wish to remove information about
yourself from Mohawk’s files, use the Contact Mohawk form or send an email
to the address listed on the site.
With any request, provide Mohawk with a means to identify you and contact you if
necessary. Mohawk will respond to appropriate requests within a reasonable time.

Children
Mohawk does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable
information from children under 13 years old through the Site. However, if the parent
or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided Mohawk with
personally identifiable information, the parent or guardian of that child should
us through the contact information provided on this page if they want this information
deleted from Mohawk's files. If Mohawk obtains knowledge that it has personally
identifiable information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in our files,
Mohawk will delete that information from existing files. In addition, anyone under
18 years old should seek their parent's or guardian's permission prior to using
or disclosing any personal information on the Site.
European Union
The European Union's Directive on Data Protection sets forth
certain adequacy standards for data protection involving the personal information
that is transferred from the European Union to the United States. The U.S. and E.U.
have entered into a "Safe Harbor" that allows U.S. entities receiving personal information
from the E.U. to comply with the European Union's Directive. Mohawk has satisfied
the requirements of the Safe Harbor Principles and has certified that compliance
with the U. S. Department of Commerce.
