Our Privacy Policy
Our information collection practices on the Platforms, such as the types of information we collect regarding visitors to the Platforms and the ways in which we may use that information, are governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
Use of Materials on the Platforms
Company has created its various Platforms to provide information about its company and products for your personal use. Whilst considerable effort has been made to ensure that the visual representations of Company’s products displayed on the platforms are representative of the color, design and style, etc. of the original products, slight variations, distortions and/or differences may be apparent when compared to the original product. This may, for example, be due to technical issues such as your browser or computer settings. Accordingly, Company cannot be held liable for any apparent differences in the product images represented on the Platforms and the original products. We strongly advise you visit one of our authorized retailers prior to making a purchase online or by phone.
You may download one computer copy or print one copy of the material made available to you via the Platforms, or download the application on to your mobile device, for your own non-commercial, educational, private or domestic use only, provided that proprietary notices, in particular intellectual property notices such as appropriate copyright © and trademark™ notices, are preserved intact and are not modified, deleted or changed. Unless otherwise stated, you should assume that everything that you see or read on the Platforms (such as images, photographs, including, without limitation, any person represented in the photographs, illustrations, icons, texts, video clips, music, written and other materials) ("Company Material") are protected by legislation such as copyright, designs and trademark legislation and under international treaty provisions, national and local laws worldwide. In no event shall title or other ownership rights in and to any Company Materials be transferred to you by function of any limited license that may be granted hereunder.
You are not authorized to sell, reproduce, distribute, communicate, modify, display, publicly perform, report or otherwise prepare derivative or second hand works based on, use or otherwise exploit any Company Material in any way for any public or commercial purposes. Furthermore, Company Material may not be displayed or communicated on any other platform, in a networked computer environment or on any other digital platform for any purpose whatsoever. In the event of breach of any of these Terms of Use, your permission to use Company Material (solely as set forth herein) will automatically terminate and any copies made of Company Material must be immediately destroyed. Any unauthorized use of Company Material may infringe copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.
Your Submissions and Unsolicited Communications
This section concerns communications sent to Company. It does not concern the communication of personal information to Company in relation to customer enquiries, the use of services or the purchase of products by phone or through the Platform. The latter is governed by the rules stipulated in the Privacy Policy.
Any unsolicited communication or material that you transmit to Company via the Platforms or through social media, by electronic mail or otherwise, including, without limitation, any data, questions or answers, comments, suggestions, or the like will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary by Company. By sending communications to Company, you automatically grant Company a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sub-licensable and transferable, divisible license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, post, re-post or tag, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display such communication(s) alone, or as a part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known of hereafter developed and to sublicense such rights to anyone. Anything that you transmit may be used by Company and its affiliated companies for any purpose, including, without limitation, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast, posting, tagging, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information. You, on behalf of yourself and all of your predecessors, successors and assigns (including your kin and heirs) hereby waive any and all known or unknown: claims, charges, complaints, grievances, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, judgments, damages, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs), losses, debts, penalties, fees, wages, union contributions, medical costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress (collectively, “Claim(s)”), that you had, have or could have, against each of Company, ABG and each of their parent, subsidiary and affiliate entities, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns, and all of their shareholders, owners, members, agents, representatives, officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Company Party(ies)”), whether alleged or not, for infringement of any intellectual property rights used by Company pursuant to these Terms of Use.
You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from the Platforms any unlawful, infringing, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or other material that would violate any law in the United States or any country in which you are located, including but not limited to copyright law and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
Furthermore, Company enjoys a worldwide reputation for both the design, manufacture and marketing of its products. To this end, it possesses its own sources of creativity, in particular highly skilled teams of designers who conceive and perfect Company’s creations. As a result, Company cannot agree to or accept to be the receiver of unsolicited proposals of collaboration. Indeed, it is conceivable that Company may already be working on similar ideas and/or creations. Consequently, you are advised that Company is not interested in receiving ideas or other proposals relating to creations you may wish to submit.
