Welcome to the Legal Department.

At OHIORAMP we really are quite friendly people! And, we try to run our little business in a friendly manner and we want you to be satisfied with our service offerings. But we've been at this quite a while, and we've noticed that sometimes, a very small minority tries to spoil it all by abusing the system, or by abusing our friendly staff. (We find it unconscionably distasteful even to address this issue, but the lawyers really give us very little choice: Here comes the flood of fine print!) So, because we are a professional company running in a professional manner in the real world, some rules and regulations are necessary.

First, a plain language answer to your question may be available on our FAQ Page.
Of course, you may direct general questions to us at info@ohioramp.com.
Or, you may E-mail Technical questions to support@ohioramp.com.

You may access our old Year2000 readiness statement by clicking HERE.
(Yes, the lawyers made us keep this one up here, but it's pretty obvious that if you can read this, Y2K must not have affected us too much . . .)

We also make broad statistical masurements to document system capacity and plan for system upgrades or expansion. In addition, other vendors whose hardware or software resides here (or elsewhere) may also make such statistical measurments as necessary to optimize performance of web servers, etc. OHIORAMP may make specific records of access and activity if system abuse, attacks, hacking / cracking, or malicious abuse of the system occur or have appeared to occur.
2) Billing and accounting records: In addition, OHIORAMP maintains billing information (which may include name, address, telephone number, user ID, payment records, and historical logs to verify successful login and usage of the system) to facilitate customer billing and / or resolve customer queries about billing matters.
3) Miscellaneous other records: OHIORAMP may record and retain information voluntarily divulged by anyone attempting to obtain a free trial, a contest prize, or a quote for services. Such information may include name, phone number, address, and other data pertinent to the request.

Category #2 records are kept in paper format or encrypted file as required, but be aware that while OHIORAMP guards the security using typically adequate measures, such data is transmitted to banks and credit card processing companies that are obviously outside the control of OHIORAMP, and OHIORAMP has no authority over how such data is used, recorded, maintained, or shared with other parties. In fact, any processing software that stores your billing records is most likely provided by the bank or financial services institution, therefore, OHIORAMP has no choice, control, authority, or information about what happens to that information once it is encoded and stored by that company's software. Likewise, category #4 data is completely beyond the control or authority of OHIORAMP, and we bear no responsibility for use or misuse of such data. Any online methods of transaction security are generally disclosed on the secure page where the transaction is placed.
