By visiting and using this website, you confirm your agreement to the conditions of the current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. If you are a registered user of this site, Optimum’s general terms and conditions of sale are binding and take precedence over the current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy in the event of a conflict. Optimum may amend the conditions of the current Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and any such changes will apply to your access and use of this website after such change has been made. It is therefore incumbent upon you to consult these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on a regular basis.
