AFFILIATE AND RETAIL LINKS

It should also be noted that we only have control over, and thus only accept responsibility for, the content of this our Company’s website authored by us. Regarding any products or services we use, recommend, or otherwise make mention of on our Website, we strive to clearly differentiate between our own products or services versus those of third parties, to facilitate inquiries, support, and customer care. Likewise, just as we may profit from the sale of our own products or services, we may also profit from the sale of others’ products or services at our Website. One or more of our products may be through an Amazon.com affiliate link. This means that links to products on Amazon.com can result in a commission being earned. It is our goal to embrace the guidelines and requirements of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for the benefit of all, and with that in mind provide the most accurate available to us. Additionally, wherever products or services may give rise to income generation, we endeavor to provide realistic and factual data, but highlight the fact that the variables impacting results are so numerous and uncontrollable that no guarantees are in any way made. You should assume that we may be compensated for purchases of products or services mentioned on this Website that are not created, owned, licensed, or otherwise materially controlled by us. While information, in any form, can arise, at any time, regarding our products & services, there may be times when this results from an affiliate relationship. In other words, we may permit our products & services to be marketed through other individuals, businesses, websites, and otherwise, just as providers of goods and services use retailers and other vendors to make available what they offer.

PAYMENT PROCESSING

You may choose to purchase goods or services or make donations through our Website using a credit or debit card. Typically, credit card and debit card information is provided directly by users, via TLJF website, into the PCI/DSS-compliant payment processing service owned and managed by PayPal, and subscribed to by TLJF.

We strongly encourage you NOT to submit this information by email. When TLJF employees receive payment card information from customers or members by fax, phone, or mail, it is entered as instructed and then deleted or destroyed.
