about the association
At ETAF, our goal is to bring the arts to you and you
to the arts.
To further this goal, ETAF has established
an affiliation with Amazon, the giant online retailer, which
Electricka calls the
ETAF-Amazon Association. She calls the
assembly of books, audio CDs, DVDs, and other arts-related materials that you can obtain through this
affiliation the ETAF-Amazon Collection.
-
The ETAF-Amazon Association is a business association
between ETAF, sponsors of this web site, and Amazon, the well-known
online retailer.
-
When visitors to Electricka's web site buy through the
Association, they buy wisely. They acquire
worthwhile works of art or other goods and enjoy other benefits while
helping themselves, ETAF, and the arts.
-
Everyone's eligible. It costs nothing to use the
Association; you join nothing; there are no obligations.
-
When you buy, you are buying directly from Amazon, which
is solely responsible for all aspects and phases of your transaction. Only
Amazon has your personal information and knows what you do through the
Association, and only if you allow it to.
benefits
Making purchases through the Association brings important benefits to you, to the arts, and to ETAF.
Everyone gains.
For you
In our opinion, Amazon is the premier online retailer of books,
music, and many other products related to the arts. They maintain
uniformly high standards of quality, service, and integrity and charge
reasonable prices, given these attributes. They don't carry
everything an arts enthusiast might want, but who does? The scope of
their books and
music offerings is extensive and their and quality high; they offer facilities for auditioning
music and previewing books online that are outstanding.
Electricka only places items in the ETAF-Amazon Collection that meet her
high standards. Everything in the Collection relates to and illuminates the
arts topics Electricka explores. ETAF only recommends items in the
Collection that expand on what visitors see, learn about, and explore on or
through Electricka's pages. Amazon provides additional arts-related and
product information on these items and subjects. (The recommendations you
find in sections titled ETAF Recommends are not limited to holdings
in the ETAF-Amazon Association.)
You don't have to buy anything to benefit. You are free to explore any or
all of these resources at any time at no charge. There is only a cost to you
if you buy something. You have a wide range of goods to choose from, not
just arts-related goods; but everything you purchase goes to help Electricka
and the arts.
Before choosing Amazon as an associate over other available options,
Electricka instructed ETAF to "put on a shopper's hat" and try
buying arts-related goods the way a visitor to her web site would by them.
ETAF did, and accumulated a considerable amount of personal experience
shopping at Amazon as well as at other web sites and at walk-in retail
stores with similar credentials.
What we found encouraged us to chose Amazon for an
associate over
many other available options. Amazon consistently proved itself to be an ethical,
medium-to-high price, competitive, high-service retail supplier of books, music, and other
arts-related goods.
ETAF and Electricka hope and expect that these benefits will accrue to you when you
acquire arts-related materials or any other kind of goods through the ETAF-Amazon
Association.
For ETAF
A small portion of every purchase made through the Association is returned to
ETAF. ETAF uses these funds in part to keep this web site going and growing.
When you purchase goods from Amazon through the Association
you benefit ETAF while you help yourself, and at no extra cost!
For the arts
Electricka envisions a future golden age when computers and the Internet
are fully and effectively at the service of the arts, a time when art and technology meet,
match, and marry in the virtual museum of the future. ETAF is working to help fulfill this vision
and the ETAF-Amazon Association is a pillar of its edifice. The funds
ETAF receives through the Association go in part to ETAF; they assist us in
carrying out this mission.
