RugScout - About Us |
Our Name and Logo: |
| Simply put, we love Oriental Rugs! As we have shopped for them ourselves in the past, we
always wanted a site where we could see how the rug would look on our floor and next to our painted
walls BEFORE we purchased it and brought it home. We've taken paint chips and material swatches
to rug stores and wondered how we could do the same when shopping online (where the choice is larger,
easier to see and visit, and the prices are much lower).
So we created this site (in partnership with the premier online rug dealers in North America) to
make it easy for others to "try before you buy" when it comes to high quality, handmade
Persian Rugs. If you feel the need to take a closer look, to scout out
your rug choices before you buy, we hope you use our site! |

Our Aim: |
| We have just one goal. Make it easy for you to find a rug that
fits you - your room, your tastes, the size of your space and your budget.
Goals are great and we demand a lot from ourselves, but we also like to
have some fun. |

Our Stance On Email Spam: |
| We detest email spam and any other deceptive marketing techniques - we're people, just like you.
We sometimes think pop-up window advertising and email spam was invented to be aimed
just at us personally - we
get tons if it and we think it stinks. We also believe that it's ineffective and annoying -
we never use it. We dislike email spam so much that our own internal bylaws have a no-newsletter,
no-email-list, no-sign-up, no-opt-in, no-email-collection, no-unsolicited-emails-sent clause in
our charter. We're not here to annoy - our goal is EXACTLY the opposite of that. Our
contact forms ALL have the email field as an optional field - we only need your email included if
you are requesting a reply - and the only use of your email is for us to reply. We also have
a strict privacy policy because we believe that stealing
information is just like stealing money - it's a crime and it's wrong. |
Our Stance On Spyware And Parasiteware: |
| We have received a few complaints that we launched a pop-up ad window on a visitor - it shocked
us the first time we heard it. While easily demonstrated to be untrue by reviewing the code
of our site's pages (right click any page and View Source - there's no pop-up advertising code
anywhere), it concerns us enough to explain further. A pop-up ad window can come from one of
two places - the website you're visiting -OR- from rogue software that's
installed on your computer. If you're using a Windows-based Computer,
we recommend you try
Microsoft's new Spyware solution for battling this problem. In addition to throwing
ads at you and making your computer run slow, these Spyware, Adware and Parasiteware computer
programs (that often find their way onto your computer using deceptive installation practices)
threaten
your safety and security as explained here by Microsoft. |
