The GUINNESS® Collectors Club offers among its many services appraisals of GUINNESS® memorabilia. An appraisal at the GUINNESS® Collectors Club is the best assessment, as determined by the person performing the appraisal, of the value of an item based on his or her assessment of the item at the time of appraisal. This assessment may include, but does not guarantee to include, the research of past auctions and sales of similar items, any historical information that exists in the public domain and any information that you have provided. Since this appraisal is a best assessment, and since the marketplace for the item will change at any moment and affect its valuation, the appraisal cannot be guaranteed.

8. Use of the GUINNESS® Collectors Club electronic greeting cards service.

We will use your email address and the email address of the person to whom you wish to send the ecard solely to process your ecard. Your email address will be disclosed to the person to whom you wish to send the ecard. We will not use your email address or the email address of the person to whom you wish to send the e-card for any other purpose.

9. Registration

Our registration form requires you to give us contact and billing information (like your name and email address). Contact information in particular is used to check whether you qualify for registration.

We also use information you provide on the registration form for accounting purposes and to contact you when necessary (for example, to respond to your queries or for other customer service issues).

The GUINNESS® Collectors Club will not use your data for any purpose except as set out above or disclose it to any other person, unless you have given your consent to the GUINNESS® Collectors Club doing so, either during registration or at some other time. We do not send out newsletters or bulk communications to our membership and respond only to enquiries. We may however disclose your data if we are either compelled to do so by law, or in response to a valid, legally compliant request by a law enforcement or governmental authority.
