Please note that LANXESS may make such changes at its own discretion, at any time and without prior announcement or notice to you. We must therefore ask you, each time you visit the Website, or download, install or use any App or any other part of the Platform, to review again all of the above-referenced conditions and to note any changes or amendments that may have been made to them, as the latest revised versions will be binding upon you.

Surrender of use and benefit

Except for the limited license set forth in the following paragraph, no right, title or interest in or to the Platform (or any part thereof) or any services or Content is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted to you in these General Conditions of Use are expressly reserved by LANXESS. Without limiting the foregoing, all details, documents, illustrations and other Content published on or available through the Website, any App or any other part of the Platform are the sole property of LANXESS and its licensors. Any permission to use such Content is expressly conditioned on your compliance with the following restrictions and the other terms of these General Conditions of Use:  (i) you will display and not remove or obscure the relevant copyright note on such Content and all copies thereof; (ii) you will only use such Content for your personal, non-commercial purposes, and will ensure that such Content is not exploited commercially; (iii) you will not modify such Content (or any portion thereof) in any way; and (iv) you will ensure that all illustrations, drawings, images, video and other graphics downloaded or otherwise obtained from the Platform are only used in conjunction with the accompanying text from the Platform. Except as LANXESS may, in its sole discretion, expressly consent to in writing, you will not frame or otherwise obscure the source of any Content downloaded or otherwise obtained from the Platform.

Subject to your strict compliance with these General Conditions of Use, you are granted a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to (i) use the end-user accessible portions of the Website and Content published on the Website, and (ii) to install and use the Apps and use the Content contained in or made available through Apps, in each case solely for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, but not for any other purpose. The foregoing license is expressly conditioned on your compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and all agreements or terms with third parties to which you are subject.

Trademarks

The mark “LANXESS” and the LANXESS logo are registered trademarks of LANXESS AG. All product names in upper case letters or marked in some other way on the Platform or any portion thereof are trademarks of LANXESS AG, or its affiliates or subsidiaries in the United States and other countries (“LANXESS PARTIES”), or their respective owners, that may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by the LANXESS PARTIES. Graphics, logos, page headers, button icons, scripts, and service names are trademarks or trade dress of the LANXESS PARTIES or their respective owners. Any unauthorized use or abuse of these trademarks or other Content is expressly prohibited and constitutes a violation of copyright, trademark law and/or other intellectual property rights. For purposes of these General Conditions of Use, unauthorized use shall include, without limitation, use in connection with any product or service that is not related to the LANXESS PARTIES, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers, in any manner that may cause trademark dilution of the mark, or in any manner that disparages or discredits any of the LANXESS PARTIES or the owner of the mark.

Mobile Apps

LANXESS may make available Apps that permit LANXESS Content to be accessed or other functionality to be accessed or used through smart phones or other mobile devices. Without limiting any restrictions set forth elsewhere in these General Conditions of Use, the license granted to you for any App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App solely on any mobile device that you own or control.

The Apps are licensed, not sold, to you for use only under these General Conditions of Use. You are prohibited from (i) installing or using any App on any mobile device that you do not own or control, and (ii) distributing or making the Apps available over a network, or where any App could be used by multiple devices at the same time. Without limiting any of the other restrictions set forth in these General Conditions of Use, you agree to not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apps, and you further agree to not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of any Apps, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open source software components included with any Apps). Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of LANXESS and its licensors and a material breach of these General Conditions of Use. If you breach this restriction or any other terms or conditions of the license granted to you under these General Conditions of Use, you may be subject to prosecution and damages. These General Conditions of Use will govern any upgrades provided by LANXESS that replace and/or supplement the original App, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license designated by LANXESS, in which case the terms of that separate license will govern. LANXESS does not guarantee that the Apps will be available for, or function in connection with, all smart phones or other mobile devices. The additional Content and services associated with an App may also change at any time in LANXESS’s sole discretion. In order to use such Apps, you must also purchase an appropriate data plan from your wireless carrier, in addition to paying the applicable license fees (if required by LANXESS) and, as applicable, you must comply with the terms imposed by the licensors of third-party components of the App. LANXESS is not responsible for overages or for actions that your wireless carrier may take against you for using data in violation of your wireless carrier’s service terms.

Because the Apps are free to download, install and use, LANXESS does not provide any maintenance or support for the Apps. LANXESS may, from time to time in its sole discretion, develop and provide updates to the Apps, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that LANXESS has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. You may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates. You shall promptly download and install all Updates and acknowledge and agree that the Apps or portions thereof may not properly operate should you fail to do so. You further agree that all Updates will be deemed part of the Apps and be subject to all terms and conditions of these General Conditions of Use.

Apps may contain open source software and/or other modules or code provided by third parties. The terms of ANNEX A attached hereto (and incorporated herein by this reference) form part of these General Conditions of Use and govern your use of Apps. For Apps that you download from the Apple App Store (the “App Store”) for use with your Apple Inc. (“Apple”) mobile device and from the Google Play Store (“Google”) with your Android mobile device:

1. You agree to the App Store Terms of Service and Google Play Store Terms of Service, as applicable, and you will only use the Apps solely as permitted by the applicable Usage Rules set forth in the respective Terms of Service (the “Usage Rules”), which you acknowledge you have had the opportunity to review; provided, however, that if these General Conditions of Use include more restrictive terms than the Usage Rules, then such more restrictive terms will supersede the conflicting terms in the Usage Rules.
2. You acknowledge that these General Conditions of Use are concluded between you and LANXESS only, and not with Apple or Google, and that LANXESS, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the Apps and the content thereof.
3. You acknowledge that neither Apple nor Google have any obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Apps.
4. In the event of any failure of any App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple or Google to refund you the purchase price (if any) for the App and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple or Google will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be LANXESS’s sole responsibility (subject to the qualifications, disclaimers and limitations set forth in these General Conditions of Use).
5. You acknowledge that (i) in the event of any third-party claim that the Apps or your possession and use of the Apps infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, LANXESS, not Apple or Google, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim, and (ii) LANXESS, not Apple or Google, is responsible for addressing any of your claims or those of any third party relating to the Apps or your possession and use of the Apps, including (A) product liability claims, (B) any claim that any App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement and (C) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, in each instance, subject to the qualifications, disclaimers and limitations set forth in these General Conditions of Use (which will not be construed in a manner that would limit LANXESS’s liability beyond the extent permitted by applicable law).
6. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a region that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” region; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
7. You acknowledge and agree that Apple or Google, and their respective subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these General Conditions of Use, and that, upon your acceptance of these General Conditions of Use, Apple or Google will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these General Conditions of Use against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

Limited liability

The manner in which you use and the purpose to which you put or utilize LANXESS products, technical assistance and information (whether verbal, written or by way of production evaluations), including any suggested formulations and recommendations (including those obtained from the Platform), are beyond our control. Therefore, it is imperative that you test our products, technical assistance and information to determine to your own satisfaction whether they are suitable for your intended uses and applications. This application-specific analysis must include, at a minimum, testing to determine suitability from a technical as well as health, safety and environmental standpoint. Such testing has not necessarily been done by LANXESS. Unless LANXESS otherwise agrees in writing, all products are sold strictly pursuant to the terms of LANXESS’s Conditions of Sale. All information and technical assistance is given without warranty or guarantee and is subject to change without notice. The information published on or made available through the Platform is purely for the purpose of presenting LANXESS and its products and services, and no representation is made or warranty given, either expressly or tacitly, for the completeness or correctness of the information published on or made available through the Platform. It is expressly understood and agreed that you, the user, assumes and hereby expressly releases LANXESS and the other LANXESS PARTIES from all liability, regardless of the theory asserted (whether in tort, contract, warranty, indemnity or otherwise), incurred in connection with or arising from the access to or use of the Platform or any LANXESS products, technical assistance, information or other Content. Any statement or recommendation not contained on the Platform is unauthorized and shall not bind LANXESS or any LANXESS PARTY. Nothing herein shall be construed as a recommendation to use any product in conflict with patents covering any material or its use. No license is implied or in fact granted under the claims of any patent. LANXESS endeavors to provide accurate and up-to-date information on the Platform through periodic updates, but does not guarantee that such information or any Content on the Platform is accurate or up-to-date. There may be time lags, errors or delays in periodic updates, which may result, among other things, in inaccuracies, including, without limitation, typographical errors, in the information and other Content and services available on the Platform. ALL SUCH INFORMATION AND OTHER CONTENT AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, AS AVAILABLE, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM DOES NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. LANXESS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, SECURITY, QUALITY, AVAILABILITY, COMPLETENESS OR TIMELINESS OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY SERVICE OR CONTENT PUBLISHED ON OR MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR THAT ANY FEATURES OR ITEMS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM WILL OTHERWISE MEET YOUR NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS, OR THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE THEREOF. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of an implied warranty, so the above disclaimers may not apply to you, and you may have other legal rights that vary by jurisdiction. Where applicable, all implied warranties shall be limited to the period during which the license granted to you under these General Conditions of Use remains in effect and has not been terminated or subject to suspension.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LANXESS OR ANY LANXESS PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT, EVEN IF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE OR LANXESS HAS BEEN ADVISED OR IS OTHERWISE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS WHETHER RECOVERY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES IS SOUGHT IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, WARRANTY, INDEMNITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY CONTENT OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM (OR ANY PART THEREOF) OR ANY CONTENT AND SERVICES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LANXESS OR ANY LANXESS PARTY, EXCEED (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LANXESS IN CONNECTION WITH THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY OR (B) IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED OR PAID TO LANXESS ANY AMOUNTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLATFORM, TEN U.S. DOLLARS ($10), REGARDLESS WHETHER RECOVERY OF SUCH AMOUNTS IS SOUGHT IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, WARRANTY, INDEMNITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY. THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FINDING THAT ANY REMEDY FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. LANXESS reserves the right to amend, remove or supplement the Platform and/or Content available on the Platform, at any time and without prior notice. LANXESS will not be liable for problems arising out of the interaction between the Platform and the local hardware and/or software you use to access the Platform.

Miscellaneous

These General Conditions of Use constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and LANXESS with respect to the Platform and the Content.

LANXESS may, without notice to you and without obtaining your consent, assign to any person or entity any or all of LANXESS rights and obligations under these General Conditions of Use. If any provision of these General Conditions of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, you nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to our intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these General Conditions of Use remain in full force and effect. It is expressly agreed that you and we are independent contractors and nothing herein shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture or agency. The section titles in these General Conditions of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via posting on the Website or App, or email (as applicable, at the email address you provided when you registered for your LANXESS account) or regular mail using the information you provided.
