AZ Factory e-Boutique – Conditions of Sale
Customers purchasing products online or by phone through AZ Factory Customer Service must read the Conditions of Sale, which will govern the terms and conditions of any such purchases. The provisions entitled "Limitation of liability" below do not cover the sale of products online or over the phone and please refer to the Conditions of Sale for the relevant exclusions and limitations of liability.
Use of materials on the Platforms
AZ Factory 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 AZ Factory products displayed on the platforms are representative of the colour, 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, AZ Factory 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 boutiques or authorised 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 copyright©, trademark™, 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 any person represented in the photographs, illustrations, icons, texts, video clips, music, written and other materials) ("AZ Factory Material") are protected by legislation such as copyright, designs and trademark legislation and under international treaty provisions and national laws worldwide.
You are not authorised to sell, reproduce, distribute, communicate, modify, display, publicly perform, report or otherwise prepare derivative or second hand works based on or use any AZ Factory Material in any way for any public or commercial purposes. Furthermore, AZ Factory 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 AZ Factory Material will automatically terminate and any copies made of AZ Factory Material must be immediately destroyed. Any unauthorised use of AZ Factory 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 AZ Factory. It does not concern the communication of personal information to AZ Factory 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 AZ Factory via the Platforms or through social media, by electronic mail or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any data, questions or answers, comments, suggestions, or the like will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary by AZ Factory. By sending communications to AZ Factory, you automatically grant AZ Factory a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish, 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 AZ Factory and its affiliated companies for any purpose, including but not limited to reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast and posting, or developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information.
Furthermore, AZ Factory enjoys a worldwide reputation for both the design and manufacture of high quality luxury items. To this end, it possesses its own sources of creativity, in particular highly skilled teams of designers who conceive and perfect AZ Factory’s creations. As a result, AZ Factory cannot agree to or accept to be the receiver of unsolicited proposals of collaboration. Indeed, it is conceivable that AZ Factory may already be working on similar ideas and/or creations. Consequently, you are advised that AZ Factory is not interested in receiving ideas or other proposals relating to creations you may wish to submit.
Limitation of liability
This section applies to the Platforms and not to the products that may be sold online or by phone by one of our local or regional markets.
AZ Factory tries to ensure that the information provided is accurate and complete. However, AZ Factory does not warrant or represent that AZ Factory’s Material is accurate, error-free or reliable or that use of AZ Factory Material will not infringe rights of third parties.
AZ Factory does not warrant that the functional and/or technical aspects of the Platforms or the AZ Factory Material will be error free or that the Platforms, AZ Factory Material or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components. If use of the Platforms or AZ Factory Material results in the need for servicing or replacing property, material, equipment, data or other element, AZ Factory is not responsible for those costs. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the Platforms is provided to you "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. AZ Factory and its suppliers make no warranties about the AZ Factory Material, software, text, downloads, graphics, and links, or about results to be obtained from using the Platforms.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AZ Factory shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with the use of information available from the Platforms or any liability relating to any loss of use, interruption of business, lost profits or lost data, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if AZ Factory has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Please note that in some jurisdictions consumer protection laws may not allow certain exclusions or limitation of warranties or liabilities, and consequently some of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply.
Trademark notice
In general, all trademarks, logos and service marks (collectively the "Trademarks") that appear on the Platforms are registered, unregistered or otherwise protected AZ Factory trademarks or are licensed for use by AZ Factory by third parties. Other trademarks are proprietary marks and are registered to their respective owners. Nothing contained on the Platforms should be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise, any licence or right to use any trademark without AZ Factory’s prior written permission or that of such third party who owns the trademark. Misuse of any trademark displayed on the Platforms, or any other content on the Platforms, except as provided herein, is strictly prohibited.
Copyright notice
All content (including AZ Factory Materials) on the Platforms are either Copyright © AZ Factory or are licensed for use by AZ Factory. All rights are reserved. Please refer to the section above on Use of Materials on the Platforms.
Links & linking
The Platforms may contain links to other platforms operated by third parties not affiliated to AZ Factory. The inclusion of any link to such third party sites does not imply endorsement by AZ Factory of those sites. AZ Factory has not reviewed all of the content contained in the linked sites and is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any off-site pages or any other sites linked to any of the Platforms. If you choose to click through any link to off-site pages or third party sites then this is at your own risk.
AZ Factory does not authorise linking to any of its Platforms from a third party platform without its express prior written authorisation.
Termination and suspension
You agree that AZ Factory may terminate or suspend your access to and use of the Platforms if AZ Factory reasonably believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use, or violated the rights of AZ Factory, its affiliated companies or any third party, with or without notice to you. You agree that AZ Factory may modify or discontinue providing any of the Platforms, with or without notice to you. You agree that AZ Factory will not be liable to you or any third party as a result of such modification or discontinuation. The provisions entitled "Limitation of liability" and "General provisions" will survive termination of these Terms of Use.
General provisions
Unless otherwise specified, the information and materials presented on the Platforms are presented solely for the purpose of promoting AZ Factory’s products and services and in certain cases to present products for sale via a variety of means. AZ Factory makes no representation that AZ Factory Material is appropriate or available for use in every country of the world. You are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws, keeping in mind that access to AZ Factory Material may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. Our products are available in many parts of the world. However, the Platforms may identify products that are not available worldwide.
If any provision, or part of a provision, of these Terms of Use is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of these Terms of Use, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the use of the Platform, and replace and extinguish all prior agreements, draft agreements, arrangements, undertakings, or collateral contracts of any nature made by the parties, whether oral or written, in relation to such subject matter.
The waiver by AZ Factory of a breach of any provision of these Terms of Use will not operate to be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
Applicable law and jurisdiction
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, without reference to conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to the Terms of Use, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be adjudicated or arbitrated in accordance with said Terms of Use. Where the laws of Switzerland are different to the mandatory consumer laws in your own country, we will afford you with similar protection.
