These Terms of Use govern your use of Richemont websites and mobile applications (together the “Platforms”). In these Terms of Use, we use the term Richemont (and "we", "us" and "our") to refer to the head office of Richemont at the registered address above and its affiliates.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Platform. By using the Platform, you signify your assent and agreement to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, then you are not authorised to continue use of the Platform.

We may make changes from time to time to these Terms of Use so please check back regularly to keep informed of updates. The latest version of these Terms of Use will always be available on the Platform.

About our hosting services

Hosting Services for our website may be provided by Richemont’s operating company, Richemont International SA, in Switzerland or by third party companies. Where third party companies host our website on our behalf you should refer to the relevant conditions of such other company as required.

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.

Your submissions and unsolicited communications

This section concerns communications sent to Richemont. It does not concern the communication of personal information to Richemont 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 Richemont 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 Richemont.

Furthermore, Richemont 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 Richemont’s creations. As a result, Richemont cannot agree to or accept to be the receiver of unsolicited proposals of collaboration. Indeed, it is conceivable that Richemont may already be working on similar ideas and/or creations. Consequently, you are advised that Richemont 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.

Richemont tries to ensure that the information provided is accurate and complete. However, Richemont does not warrant or represent that Richemont’s Material is accurate, error-free or reliable or that use of Richemont Material will not infringe rights of third parties.

Richemont does not warrant that the functional and/or technical aspects of the Platforms or the Richemont Material will be error free or that the Platforms, Richemont Material or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components. If use of the Platforms or Richemont Material results in the need for servicing or replacing property, material, equipment, data or other element, Richemont 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. Richemont and its suppliers make no warranties about the Richemont 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, Richemont 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 Richemont 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 Richemont trademarks or are licensed for use by Richemont 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 Richemont’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 Richemont Materials) on the Platforms are either Copyright © Richemont or are licensed for use by Richemont. 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 Richemont. The inclusion of any link to such third party sites does not imply endorsement by Richemont of those sites. Richemont 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. Richemont 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 Richemont may terminate or suspend your access to and use of the Platforms if Richemont reasonably believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Use, or violated the rights of Richemont, its affiliated companies or any third party, with or without notice to you. You agree that Richemont may modify or discontinue providing any of the Platforms, with or without notice to you. You agree that Richemont 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 Richemont’s products and services and in certain cases to present products for sale via a variety of means. Richemont makes no representation that Richemont 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 Richemont 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 Richemont 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.
