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 affino.com and its affiliates without express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other "hidden text" utilising affino.com's or its affiliates' names or trademarks without the express written consent of Affino. Any unauthorised use terminates the permission or license granted by affino.com.

You may not use any Affino logos or other proprietary graphics or trademarks as part of the link without our express written consent.

5. Your conduct

You must not use the website in any way that causes, or is likely to cause, the website or access to it to be interrupted, damaged or impaired in any way.

You understand that you, and not Affino, are responsible for all electronic communications and content sent from your computer to us and you must use the website for lawful purposes only.

You must not use the website for any of the following:

• for fraudulent purposes, or in connection with a criminal offence or other unlawful activity
• to send, use or reuse any material that is illegal, offensive, abusive, indecent, defamatory, obscene or menacing; or in breach of copyright, trademark, confidence, privacy or any other right; or is otherwise injurious to third parties; or objectionable; or which consists of or contains software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings or any "spam"
• to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety

6. Reviews, comments, communications and other content

Users of this website may post reviews, comments and other content; send communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, as long as the content is not illegal, obscene, abusive, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties, or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam." You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any content.

You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that, as at the date that the content or material is submitted to affino.com:

(i) the content and material is accurate
(ii) use of the content and material you supply does not breach any applicable affino.com policies or guidelines and will not cause injury to any person or entity (including that the content or material is not defamatory)

You agree to indemnify Affino and its affiliates for all claims brought by a third party against affino.com or its affiliates arising out of or in connection with a breach of any of these warranties.

7. Defamation claims

Because affino.com may list dozens of products for sale on the website and hosts many thousands of comments, it is not possible for us to be aware of the contents of each product listed for sale, or each comment or review that is displayed. Accordingly, Affino operates on a "notice and takedown" basis. If you believe that any content on, or advertised for sale on, the website contains a defamatory statement, please notify us immediately by emailing a substantiated request with material references to engage@affino.com. Once this procedure has been followed, Affino will make all reasonable endeavours to remove the defamatory content complained about within a reasonable time.

8. Copyright, authors' rights and database rights

All content included on the website, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of Affino, its affiliates or its content suppliers and is protected by international copyright, authors rights and database right laws (except where other copyright / authorship is explicitly stated; e.g. YouTube videos). The compilation of all content on this website is the exclusive property of Affino and its affiliates and is protected by United Kingdom and international copyright and database right laws. All software used on this website is the property of Affino, our affiliates or our software suppliers and is protected by international copyright and authors rights laws.

You may not systematically extract and/or re-utilise parts of the contents of the website without Affino's express written consent. In particular, you may not utilise any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools to extract (whether once or many times) for re-utilisation of any substantial parts of this website, without Affino's express written consent. You also may not create and/or publish your own database that features substantial (eg our prices and product listings) parts of this website without Affino's express written consent.

9. Copyright claims

Affino and its affiliates respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify us by sending a substantiated request with material references to engage@affino.com.

11. Our contract

When you place an order to purchase a product from affino.com, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us when we send e-mail confirmation to you that we've dispatched that product to you (the "Dispatch Confirmation E-mail"). That acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Dispatch Confirmation E-mail to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation E-mail to have been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

12. Returns

Please review our Returns Policy, which can be found in the soon-to-be-launched Affino Store area of affino.com. Notices pending.

13. Pricing and availability

We list availability information for products sold by us on the website, including on each product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the website, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that dispatch estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail if any products you order turn out to be unavailable.

Despite our efforts, a small number of the dozens of products in our catalogue may be mispriced. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such a cancellation.

14. Customs

When ordering goods from affino.com for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.

Additionally, please note that when ordering from affino.com, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Your privacy is important to us and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers and customers dispatching products internationally to be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
