The Company grants you a limited, revocable and nonexclusive license to access and make personal use of the Sites but not to download (other than page caching) or modify it, or any portion of it, except with express written consent of the Company. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of the Sites or their contents; any collection and use of any product listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of the Sites or their contents; any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of another merchant; or any use of data mining, artificial intelligence, robots, spiders or similar data gathering and extraction tools. Neither the Sites nor any portion of the Sites may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without express written consent of the Company. You may not frame or use framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of the Company and its related bodies corporate, licensors or licensees without express written consent of the Company. You may not use meta tags or any other hidden text using the Company's brand names or trademarks without the express written consent of the Company. Any unauthorized use will immediately terminate the permission or license granted by the Company. You are granted a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to the home page of the Sites so long as the link does not portray the Company or its products or services in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive manner as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. You may not use any Company logo or other proprietary graphic or trademark as part of the link without express written permission of the Company. You may not make any other part of the Sites, other than the home page of the Sites, available as part of another service by "deep linking," or otherwise, without prior written permission from the Company. Any permitted links to the Sites must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.


  1. THIRD-PARTY AND CO-BRANDED SITES

The Sites may contain hyperlinks ("links") to websites operated by persons or entities other than Company ("third-party Websites") or to co-branded websites operated by a third party, including the Company's related bodies corporate and licensees ("co-branded Websites"). We provide such links for your reference and convenience only. A link from the Sites to a third-party or co-branded Website does not mean or imply that the Company endorses the content on that third-party or co-branded Website or the operator or operations of that third-party or co-branded Website. The Company explicitly disclaims any responsibility for, and excludes all liability to you for, the accuracy, completeness or availability of information, content and materials found on any third-party or co-branded Website. The Company does not endorse any of the merchandise, nor can we ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third-party or co-branded Website. The Company does not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information, content or materials (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) you might be requested to give to any third party. You hereby irrevocably waive any claim against the Company with respect to information, content and materials contained on any third-party or co-branded Website, and any information, content and materials you provide to such third-party or co-branded Website (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information). You are solely responsible for determining the extent to which you use any content at any third-party or co-branded Website to which you might link from our Sites. Your use of any website linked to from the Sites is subject to the policies and procedures of the owner of such website, and your use of all such websites is subject to such policies and procedures and not to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You understand that by using any third-party Website linked to from the Sites, you may be exposed to content or other materials that are offensive, indecent, defamatory or otherwise objectionable. We therefore strongly encourage you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties.


THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR (AND EXCLUDES ALL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ANY DEALINGS WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY OR CO-BRANDED WEBSITE, ANY MERCHANT OR OPERATOR OF A THIRD-PARTY OR CO-BRANDED WEBSITE, OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH WHOM YOU ENGAGE IN ANY TRANSACTION.

  1. RISK OF LOSS

All products purchased from the Sites are transported and delivered to you by an independent carrier not affiliated with, or controlled by, the Company. Title to products purchased on the Sites, as well as the risk of loss for such products, passes to you when the Company delivers these items to the carrier.


  1. PRODUCT INFORMATION

The Company attempts to be accurate in describing its products and services on the Sites. We do not warrant that product and service descriptions or other content of this or any other Sites are complete, reliable, current, or error-free.


We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the Sites. However, as the actual colours you see depend on your computer monitor and other factors beyond the Company's control, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of any colour on the Sites will be accurate.


Most Company products displayed on the Sites are available in select retail stores in the United States and select foreign markets while supplies last. In some cases, merchandise displayed for sale at the Sites may not be available in retail stores. Unless otherwise stated, the prices displayed at the Sites are quoted in Australian or New Zealand Dollars as applicable. We may choose to not fill any orders (or part of an order) that you have placed where the website contains errors or inaccuracies, including without limitation, errors, inadequacies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies. 


  1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

The sites are provided by the company on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law and subject to any statutory guarantees that cannot be lawfully excluded, the company makes no representations and warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of the sites or the information, content, third-party content, materials, products, services or linked services provided on or through the sites, including without limitation, that the information provided through the sites will be free from error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in operation, or from technical inaccuracies or typographical errors; that the sites will be available at any particular time or location; that defects or errors in the service will be corrected; or that the content on the sites is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any information on the sites is subject to change without notice, and we disclaim all responsibility for these changes. You expressly agree that your use of the sites is at your sole risk.


To the maximum extent permitted by law, the company disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.


In no event will the company, or any party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the sites, be liable for (and any liability is hereby excluded for) any damages of any kind arising from the use of the sites, including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive, special and consequential damages or any damages of any type or nature arising out of your access, use, misuse, or inability to use the sites or any linked sites or services; in the event a third party intercepts or decrypts any transmission of information that you provide to the company through the sites; or in connection with any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, or line or system failure, whether in an action under contract, negligence, tort, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been previously advised of the possibility of such damages.


The Company makes no representation that the contents of the Sites comply with the laws of any country outside Australia. If you access any of the Sites from outside Australia, you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for ensuring compliance with all laws in the place where you are located.


The Company does not warrant that it will be able to prevent any illegal, harmful or inappropriate use, modification or alteration of the Sites or that it will give notice of such use, modification or alteration.


Where any applicable legislation implies any warranties, guarantees or conditions or imposes obligations upon the Company which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified except to a limited extent, this Agreement must be read subject to those statutory provisions. If those statutory provisions apply, then to the extent to which the Company is able to do so, its liability will be limited, at its option, to: (a) in the case of any goods supplied by the Company, either: (i) replacement of the goods or supply of equivalent goods; (ii) repair of the goods; (iii) payment of the cost of replacing the goods or acquiring equivalent goods; or (iv) payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or (b) in the case of any services performed by the Company, either: (i) the performance of the services again; or (ii) the payment of the cost of having the services performed again.


  1. INDEMNITY

You indemnify the Company successors and assigns, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents against any claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, costs or other expenses (including legal costs) and third-party claims incurred by the Company in connection with or arising, whether directly or indirectly, as a result of your breach of the terms of this Agreement, your use or access of the Sites or any violation of any applicable law in connection with this Agreement.


  1. MISCELLANEOUS LEGAL PROVISIONS

The Company may discontinue the Sites at any time and for any reason, without notice. The Company may change, suspend, or cancel the contents, operation, or any and all other features of the Sites at any time for any reason, without notice.


You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and the Company as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Sites. Nothing contained in this Agreement is in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Sites or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.


The Company's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive its right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of this Agreement or to act with respect to similar breaches. You shall not resell or assign your rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, and any attempted assignment or delegation will be void and of no force or effect whatsoever. This Agreement may be automatically assigned by the Company, in our sole discretion, to a third party, and such an assignment will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limiting the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including your personal information, with any parent company, subsidiary, joint venture, and a company under our common control, as well as with a potential acquirer, lender, or investor, including in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In each such event, the personal information we have collected from you may be one of the assets transferred.


If any provision in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.

 

Insert a Force Majeure clause for acts of God, acts of nature, acts or ommissions of governments, strikes, etc…


This Agreement constitutes the entire and final agreement regarding the Sites and its contents, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous communications between you and the Company regarding the Sites and their contents.


All rights not expressly granted herein are hereby reserved to the Company.
