Sending Electronic Postcards, or E-mailing an Item to a Friend When an online user sends an electronic postcard, including a "Cast A Friend" postcard, or e-mails an item to a friend from the HAPPYAFRICA.NET Web site, the designated recipient will receive the sender's name and e-mail address, as well as any information entered into the message by the sender. HAPPYAFRICA.NET does not retain or review the names or e-mail addresses of the sender or recipient, which are provided in an electronic postcard, including a "Cast A Friend" postcard, or E-mail-A-Friend.

Registering with the Online Store Online visitors are given the opportunity to register with the HAPPYAFRICA.NET online store. Registering with the online store allows visitors to create an address book, make a wish list, and enjoy "quick checkouts" by having HAPPYAFRICA.NET automatically enter their billing address and preferred shipping information. Registering with the online store requires visitors to provide their name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number. Creating and Using an Address Book in the Online Store Only visitors registered with the HAPPYAFRICA.NET online store may create and use an Address Book, which allows registered users to save in the Address Book they create all of the different names and addresses to whom they frequently send purchases or gifts. When a registered user wants to send a purchase to someone in their Address Book, they simply need to select the desired recipient on the check-out screen. The information a registered user enters into their Address Book is not used for any promotional purposes by us or our affiliated companies, nor is such information rented, sold or exchanged with third parties. Creating and Sending Wish Lists Only visitors registered with the HAPPYAFRICA.NET online store may create and send a Wish List. If a Wish List is sent at the request of a registered user, their friends and family who receive the Wish List will be able to see the registered user's desired items, as well as make purchases directly off that list. When a registered user finds an item in the online store that they want, they can click "Add to Wish List." The registered user can then request HAPPYAFRICA.NET to forward the registered user's Wish List by providing the e-mail address of the requested recipient(s). HAPPYAFRICA.NET will then send an e-mail to the reqested recipient(s), which will include a link to the registered user's Wish List. The e-mail address information of the recipient(s) provided by a registered user in the Wish List feature is not used for any promotional purposes by us or our affiliate companies, nor is such information rented, sold or exchanged with third parties. Recipients of a Wish List, however, will have the opportunity to elect to sign up for email from us and we will then use that email address to send information about our products and promotions.
