			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We neither sell nor share your information with outside companies or third parties.</li>
<li>When you purchase from our online store, we collect your name,   billing and shipping addresses, phone number, e-mail address, and credit   card information. You provide this information so we can process and   ship your order. We respect your privacy by not selling or sharing this   information.</li>
<li>If you choose to keep your credit card on file, please know that the card number is encrypted.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>General:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>For your protection, we reserve the right to cancel any order at any time.</li>
<li>The price of an item is final at the time of sale.</li>
<li>Should you choose to use your Debit card (or any card linked to   your checking account),      the amount of your purchase will be charged  to your account up front  or at the time of order fulfillment. The  funds reserved for your order  may      be held by the bank, even though  the transaction has not been  finalized. The actual length of the hold  is determined by your bank      and is outside of our control. However,  most holds are released  within 3 to 5 business days. Since debit cards  are linked to cash  accounts, changes or      adjustments to your order  can result in multiple pending  transactions on your account. We do not  assume responsibility for loss  or inconvenience      due to held funds.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Returns:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All items carry a 30 day warranty for manufacturing defects  except  as noted below. Providing the item shows no signs of abuse, we  will  replace or repair the item at our discretion.
<ul>
<li>Closeout items are provided as-is with no warranty.</li>
<li>All Bat sales are provided as-is with no warranty.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Any type of customized garments/items etc., cannot be returned. This includes              hemmed pants and special order items.</li>
<li>Pants are not warranted due to the nature of their use.</li>
<li>Returned items must be in new condition including the original   packaging. For instance, if you ship shoes back to us in the shoe box   and it is sealed with packing tape, it is no longer in new condition.   Please return the items in the same manner they were shipped to you.</li>
<li>Packages that are returned to shipper will be left as an open   credit on the customer&#8217;s account. We will not re-ship any order until   confirmation of      the correct address is provided by the customer.</li>
<li>For closeout items, all sales are final! The only exception         to this is if you need to exchange for a size reason, we will allow this         provided the item is in new condition. The customer is  responsible for shipping        both ways.</li>
<li>All returns require a receipt.</li>
<li>Defective items must be shipped back at the customer&#8217;s expense before a replacement will be issued.</li>
<li>The customer is responsible for return shipping charges. When   returning a non-defective item for cash refund, only the item cost is   refunded, not the shipping costs.</li>
<li>Items damaged by a 3rd party are not warranted. A common occurrence is a screen printing shop shrunk your shirts.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Payment Options:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We accept cash, personal checks, money orders, certified or cashier checks, PayPal, or credit cards for payment.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Shipping:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Custom hemmed pants &#8211; the stock items on your order will ship with your pants when the alterations have been completed.</li>
<li>The day of shipment does not count as a shipping day. For  instance,  if you are in a one day shipping zone, you should get your  package the  NEXT day if you place your order before 12pm Central  Standard Time.</li>
<li>Upon delivery, if there is a problem with your order, please   contact us immediately. Discrepancies found more than 7 days after   receiving your order will not be honored.</li>
<li>Canadian orders will include all duties, taxes, and brokerage  fees  during checkout. No additional charges will be due upon delivery.</li>

<li>Custom orders will ship via your chosen shipping method when the   customization process is complete. If you choose a shipping method   other than standard ground, this DOES NOT speed up the customization   process. Customization orders are completed in the order in which they   are received.</li>
<li>We ship via UPS for orders shipping within the US and Canada. Orders  shipping to          an APO Military Address must be called in. We DO  NOT guarantee any post office          shipped orders. Once an order has  shipped, credit or reissuing items for lost or          non-delivered  packages will not be granted.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear KC Barnstormers Family &amp; Friends,</p>
<p>In an effort to raise awareness for the number of youth diagnosed each year with juvenile diabetes, the KC Barnstormers Organization has committed to making a difference in the lives of some of the families affected by this disease. We will be making a donation to help offset the costs associated with providing needed medical supplies, doctor visits, hospital stays, emergencies, time off work and the numerous other expenses that these families face on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Jake Jarrell, a 10 year old boy in the Kansas City area, was diagnosed in August of 2007 with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes.  Jake is a normal active kid;  he loves sports and plays baseball, soccer and basketball.  But, like other kids with diabetes, Jake has to test his blood glucose 5 or 6 times a day by pricking his finger.  He also wears an insulin pump to regulate the sugar in his body.  Diabetes is never fun.  School and sports are often interrupted by high or low blood sugars, both of which affect performance.  But until a cure is found, this will be a part of life for the Jarrell family and for all families who have a child with diabetes.  Jake and his family have been chosen as the first of many families to receive support from the KC Barnstormers Organization.  We believe we can make a difference, one family at a time.</p>
<p>Please join us at <strong>9:00am on Saturday, February 26 at </strong><strong>Turner Elementary School/Stieneger Field</strong> and watch the KC Barnstormers play a <strong>100 Inning Game</strong> to raise funds for Jake’s family, and to raise awareness for Juvenile Diabetes, KC Barnstormers and the Get Hits 4 Education Foundation.</p>
<p>Our players will get the opportunity to meet a family touched by our efforts.  Together, KC Barnstormers and the Get Hits 4 Education Foundation have helped hundreds of Greater Kansas City’s youth secure the funding necessary to develop their baseball and academic skills as well as obtain post-secondary scholarships.  Along the way, we have introduced these young men to social responsibility greater than any game — yes, even a baseball game.</p>
<p>Tim Jarrell, Jake’s father, is grateful for this opportunity and has helped facilitate the initial work necessary to leverage the 100 Inning Game for success.  We guarantee our efforts to play the game hard will be strong, however, we cannot have strong efforts in raising money without your help in the form of a pledge:</p>
<p><strong>e.g.,  20 cents / inning = $20.00, </strong> <strong>50 cents / inning = $50.00,   75 cents / inning = $75.00,</strong> <strong>etc.</strong></p>
<p><em>Please complete the enclosed pledge form and make your check payable to Get Hits 4 Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Return your tax-deductible gift in the self-addressed stamped envelope. </em>Game day is fast approaching and we will be preparing for the event until game time, but we will always accept donations for this great cause, even after the 100 Inning Game.  <em> </em></p>
<p><strong>SCHEDULE:</strong> We’ll start the day at 10:00am with breakfast catered by Ninfa’s Tortillas &amp; Taqueria and lunch will be on the grill and ready by 1:00pm.  Join the fun and watch the youth talent as scheduled below.<strong> </strong></p>
<p>9am     9u and Moms                           10am   11u and 12u</p>
<p>11am   12u and 13u                             12pm   14u</p>
<p>1pm     15u and 17u                             2pm     17u and 18u</p>
<p><strong><em>Thank you</em></strong> for supporting Jake Jarrell, Juvenile Diabetes research, KC Barnstomers, Get Hits 4 Education Foundation and our combined efforts to impact the lives of others.  Without you our programs would not be possible.<strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>Please send your pledge to help a deserving neighbor today; good baseball, good food, good people and a great cause!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Karl Carswell</p>
<p>Founder &amp; President</p>
