A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS CONCERNING PRIVACY
On sites specifically designed for children, BananaWorld.com makes a special effort to encourage children to consult with their parents before furnishing data. However,
BananaWorld.com believes that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission.

UNAUTHORIZED E-MAIL NAME USAGE
& NEW CAN SPAM LAW
It came to our attention that e-mail spammers have
attempted to use our company's unauthorized and non existing e-mail names to tarnish our
company's name. As you may know, President Bush recently signed into law,
the Can Spam Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187). This new law, which
takes effect on January 1 2004, is intended to cut down on the rising level of
unsolicited commercial emails, fraud email information and usage. To do
so, it imposes certain requirements for the delivery of commercial e-mails by
instituting certain penalties for
failing to comply with such requirements.
