COOKIES

DBAPPAREL UK wishes to place a “cookie” on your computer’s hard disk. A cookie does not allow DBAPPAREL UK to identify you. However, it automatically records information relative to your browsing on the Site (frequency of access, pages consulted, consultation date and time, actions on the Site, etc…), which DBAPPAREL UK will be able to read during your subsequent visits.

The information stored in the cookie is used by DBAPPAREL UK in order to analyse your browsing on the Site, to make the Site more useful, and to measure the Site’s audience size and the efficiency of communication with the users of the Site. The cookie is also used to customize your interactions and to offer increased convenience each time you access the Site.

Advertisers who display adverts on the Site may also use cookies, over which DBAPPAREL UK has no control.

You can prevent cookies from being saved on your computer by activating the setting on the internet browsing software you use which allows you to refuse cookies and prevent them from being saved on your computer. Please note that certain of the Site’s functionalities will not be available if cookies are deactivated. Unless you have adjusted your internet browsing software so that it will refuse cookies, a cookie will be saved on your computer when you access the Site.

We may also use electronic image requests (also called “web beacons” or “single-pixel gifs”) to count page views and to access cookies. The web beacons do not collect, gather, monitor or share any Personal Information; they are used only to compile anonymous information about Site usage. DBAPPAREL UK may use web beacons or other methods to collect information about your computer, including but not limited to your IP address, pages of the Site that you visit, and details of your operating system and your internet browsing software. This information does not identify you and is used for administration purposes and to report statistical data about the Site’s users, including their browsing actions and patterns, to advertisers.

TRANSMISSION OF UNSOLICITED INFORMATION

Please refrain from sending DBAPPAREL UK unsolicited information or content (whether by email, post, or by uploading such information to the Site) including, but not limited to, materials of a commercial, advertising, creative or promotional nature, proposals of concepts, know-how, techniques, ideas and related information (hereinafter "Unsolicited Information").

With the exception of personal data, all Unsolicited Information will be considered as non-confidential and non-proprietary information free from all rights, and consequently shall not be covered by the Privacy Policy.

You warrant and guarantee that any Unsolicited Information you send to DBAPPAREL UK does not violate the rights of any third party, or any regulation or law, and you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the content of this information.

You acknowledge and agree that by sending Unsolicited Information, you provide DBAPPAREL UK with a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and transferable licence to use the Unsolicited Information for any purpose whatsoever and with a full right to sub-license. DBAPPAREL UK has no obligation to respond or confirm its reception, and has only a right to use it but no obligation. DBAPPAREL UK may disclose your identity to any person who claims that Unsolicited Material sent by you infringes their intellectual property rights, any other proprietary right, privacy rights, or is defamatory/libellous.

You agree that the content of any Unsolicited Information may be used by DBAPPAREL UK, with no financial compensation for yourself or any other person, reproduced, presented, modified, disclosed, published, displayed, printed, copied, translated, distributed, adapted, grouped, transferred to any third party of its choice, transmitted to anyone, separately or together with other works, on any current or future medium whatsoever, using any current or future process and for all purposes, notably but not limited to promotional purposes, advertising purposes, the development and marketing of products or any other commercial purpose.

SECURITY

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not secure and cannot be completely protected from illicit interference from third parties. Communications via the Internet may potentially be intercepted, lost or modified and any transmission is therefore at your own risk. Once DBAPPAREL UK receives the information, it will employ security features to attempt to prevent unauthorised access.

IF ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY SHALL BE DEEMED INVALID, VOID OR FOR ANY REASON UNENFORCEABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, THAT PART SHALL BE DEEMED SEVERABLE AND SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY REMAINING PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
