Information Collection
When you browse N-E-S.com and have not registered for any online service from NES,
you browse anonymously. Personal information - such as your name, address, phone
number or E-mail address - is not collected as you browse. NES may, however, use
"cookies" to collect information about how our site is used. Information, such as
the server your computer is logged onto, your browser type (for example, Netscape
or Internet Explorer), and whether you responded to an NES banner ad or E-mail may
be collected and tracked in aggregate. This information is used for the purpose
of measuring response rates to banner ads and E-mail offers. Registration for Online
Products and Services. In order to provide you with a particular product or service
online, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal or Company information,
including your E-mail address and customer number, for purposes such as correspondence,
site registration, checking your Rental Agreements, Invoices, Statements and other
pertinent information online, making a purchase, submitting a Credit Application,
or participating in online surveys and enabling us to provide an online product
or service to you in an efficient manner. If you are known to us as a registered
user of an NES online service, we may combine information about your use of N-E-S.com
or other NES websites and the online products or services you utilize with certain
other online and offline information we have about you as an NES customer and information
you have provided to us as well as information available from external sources,
such as census bureau data, in order to customize your online experience and present
you with relevant online and offline offers and updates. We also may use a "cookie"
to enable our server to recognize you as a registered NES online service user when
you re-enter our site.
Information Use
We may use information you have given us to, for example, provide a service, ensure
proper product deliveries or billing, measure consumer interest in our various services
and inform you about products and services. If you have provided your E-mail address
to us or to a company we've partnered with to make their products and services available
to you, we may send you E-mail offers. We may also send you E-mail offers if you
have provided your E-mail address to a third party and have actively chosen or requested,
on an opt-in basis, to receive E-mail offers from other parties. These offers may
be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us, in surveys,
from information that may indicate purchasing preferences as well as information
available from external sources, such as census bureau data. These E-mail offers
come directly from NES. You can opt out from receiving E-mail offers from NES as
described below in the section, "Declining E-mail offers". When we send E-mails
to you, we may be able to identify information about your E-mail address, such as
whether you can read graphic-rich html E-mails. If your E-mail address is html-enabled,
we may choose to send you graphic-rich html E-mails. Please note that we do not
provide your E-mail address to NES business partners. However, we may send you offers
on behalf of our NES business partners. Keep in mind that if you take advantage
of an offer from an NES business partner and become their customer, they may independently
wish to send offers to you. In this case, you will need to inform them separately
if you wish to decline receiving future offers from them.
Declining E-mail Offers
NES provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving E-mail offers. Although
some customers will appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed opportunities,
we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may
request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying to the
E-mail and informing us of your preferences. All E-mail offers that you received
from NES will inform you of how to decline receiving further E-mail offers.
Company Commitment to Privacy
This NES Customer Internet Privacy Statement applies only to our United States customer
and U.S. visitors to our website. If you are a U.S. customer and have questions

Internet Communication
The privacy of communication over the Internet cannot be guaranteed, because the
Internet is not a secure medium. We do not assume any responsibility for any harm,
loss, or damage you may experience or incur by the sending of personal or confidential
information over the Internet by or to us.

You should be aware that other Internet sites to which you link from N-E-S.com may
contain privacy provisions that differ from the provisions of our Privacy Statement.

you do not agree to this policy, please do not use this site. NES reserves the right,
at its discretion, to update, change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy
from time to time. Any changes to this privacy policy will be promptly disclosed
in this area.
Changes to the Internet Privacy Statement
Changes to our Internet Privacy Statement will be noted here so that you can be
fully informed about the privacy protections we provide and your choices with regard
to our use of personal information for marketing purposes.
