Why do I need to provide my email address when I check out?

The email address you provide during checkout is only used to send you an email confirmation with your order details. We also need your email address to provide you tracking.  In some cases, we will email a customer if there is a problem with their order (e.g., problem with credit card, item suddenly becomes back-ordered, etc.). Your email address may also be used to provide you with annual care and maintenance tips, product updates, new releases, and the like.
