Links from our Sites
The Sites may facilitate access to other sites or on-line social media networks or pages for your convenience. These sites, networks, or pages have not necessarily been reviewed by Luxottica and are maintained by third parties over which Luxottica exercises no control. Accordingly, Luxottica expressly disclaims any responsibility for the content, the materials, the accuracy of the information, and/or the quality of the products or services provided by, available through, or advertised on these third-party sites. Moreover, these links do not imply an endorsement with respect to any third party or any Web site or the products or services provided by any third party.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
You agree that the Site, including the content, is provided free of charge. Luxottica will not be liable to you or any person for any loss or damage of any kind which may arise from the unauthorised use of the Website and the use of any information contained within it.
By using our Sites, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Luxottica and its parent and affiliates, and their directors, employees and agents, against any loss, damage, liability, reasonable cost or expense (including legal fees) asserted by any third party and arising from: (i) any User-Posted Content; (ii) your breach of any of these Terms; and (iii) your infringement of any third party rights, including without limitation any property, privacy or intellectual property rights. This indemnity shall survive the duration of your use of the Sites.
Luxottica does not represent or warrant that our Sites, their content or any other material accessible on the Sites are free from defect, error or computer viruses that may affect your systems. Luxottica excludes any liability for any indirect or consequential loss resulting from your use of our Sites, a security breach or failure or the transmission of a computer virus. You should take steps to safeguard your own software and systems by having your own security measures and system checks in place. Luxottica does not limit or restrict its liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or death or personal injury should it arise from the negligence of it, its directors, employees, affiliates, or other representatives or for any liability that cannot by law be excluded.
You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of these Terms may cause irreparable injury to Luxottica, such injury may not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Luxottica may not have an adequate remedy at law. Luxottica may therefore seek an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of these Terms.
Other terms
These Terms (including the policies and rules referred to herein) and any other agreement or terms or conditions for services, information, or licenses available through the Sites, which are all hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein, represent the entire agreement between You and Luxottica with respect to use of the Sites, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between You and Luxottica with respect to the Sites.
You may not assign or transfer any rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Luxottica.
Headings are for convenience only.
The Terms and the relationship between you and Luxottica shall be governed by the laws of Australia for users of Sunglass Hut Australia and by the laws of New Zealand for users of Sunglass Hut New Zealand. You and Luxottica agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts, or New Zealand courts, as the case may be.
You are an independent party. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between You and Luxottica as a result of these Terms or your use of the Sites.
Failure to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent or other default or failure of performance. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law or court order including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and the liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in effect.
These Terms will terminate immediately and automatically, upon our notice, if You fail to comply with any of these Terms. You may also terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the Sites. Your obligations contained herein will survive the termination of these Terms for any reason.
