Intellectual property rights and limited licence

Jaeger-LeCoultre maintains the Media Centre as a working tool, notably to facilitate access to the Content for newsworthy editorial purposes only, for example in connection with the preparation of articles and press reviews for publication in newspapers, magazines, specialist blogs or websites (the “Prescribed Purposes”).

You recognise that all Content available from the Media Centre is proprietary information and, as such, is protected by legislation such as copyright, designs and trademark legislation and under international treaty provisions and national laws worldwide. All Content is either Copyright © Jaeger-LeCoultre or are licensed for use by Jaeger-LeCoultre. All rights are reserved.

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-assignable worldwide right to reproduce the Content for the Prescribed Purposes in traditional press and in the digital edition of your publication. This right may be exercised by your subcontractors for the preparation of articles, provided that such subcontractors agree to these Media Centre Terms of Use. You are authorised to adapt or modify Content exclusively to satisfy technical requirements necessary for the publication or media on which it is used, such as adjustments for internet press sites, provided that such modification or adaptation does not compromise the integrity of the image and/or person represented therein. The right to otherwise adapt, modify, crop or create derivative works from any Content is expressly prohibited.

You understand that where Content has been acquired by Jaeger-LeCoultre under license from image banks or archives, you will pay special attention to and respect all instructions provided in the Media Centre, and expressly agree to include copyright notices and/or other credits as may be indicated next to the Content in accordance with the licence provided by said image banks, archives or other source. You are further advised that the omission of any notice or credit could be the cause of claims against Jaeger-LeCoultre.

In addition where videos contain music, you may be required to declare your use and reproduction of the video to the relevant collecting societies.

Unless otherwise indicated in the Media Centre, the following photographic credit must appear adjacent to any images: Copyright “©Jaeger-LeCoultre”. All rights reserved.

Nothing contained in these Media Centre Terms of Use will be construed as granting, by implication or otherwise any right or licence with respect to the name, likeness or other characteristic of any person who appears in any image.

Limitation of liability

This section applies to the Media Centre. Jaeger-LeCoultre tries to ensure that the information provided is accurate and complete. However, Jaeger-LeCoultre does not warrant or represent that the Content is accurate, error-free or reliable or that use of Content will not infringe rights of third parties.

Jaeger-LeCoultre does not warrant that the functional and/or technical aspects of the Media Centre or the Content will be error free or that the Media Centre, Content or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components. If use of the Media Centre or Content results in the need for servicing or replacing property, material, equipment, data or other element, Jaeger-LeCoultre is not responsible for those costs. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the Media Centre 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. Jaeger-LeCoultre and its suppliers make no warranties about the Content, software, text, downloads, graphics, and links, or about results to be obtained from using the Media Centre.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jaeger-LeCoultre 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 Media Centre 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 Jaeger-LeCoultre has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

Your indemnity

You understand and agree that non-compliance with these Media Centre Terms of Use could cause irreparable damage to Jaeger-LeCoultre and/or its affiliates. Consequently, You shall indemnify Jaeger-LeCoultre and its affiliates against all damages (except punitive damages), liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and permitted and authorised costs), arising out of or as a result of claims by third parties relating to your use of any Content from the Media Centre or any breach of these Media Centre Terms of Use.

 

Termination and suspension

You agree that Jaeger-LeCoultre may terminate or suspend your access to and use of the Media Centre if Jaeger-LeCoultre reasonably believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Media Centre Terms of Use, or violated the rights of Jaeger-LeCoultre, its affiliated companies or any third party, with or without notice to you. In this event, you must immediately destroy and/or delete any copies you have made of the Content in any format.

You agree that Jaeger-LeCoultre may modify or discontinue providing any of the Media Centre, with or without notice to you. You agree that Jaeger-LeCoultre 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 Media Centre Terms of Use.

 

General provisions

Unless otherwise specified, the information and materials presented on the Media Centre are presented solely for the Prescribed Purposes. Jaeger-LeCoultre makes no representation that Content 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 Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. Our products are available in many parts of the world. However, the Media Centre may identify products that are not available worldwide.

If any provision, or part of a provision, of these Media Centre 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 Media Centre Terms of Use, and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Media Centre Terms of Use shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.

These Media Centre Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the use of the Media Centre, and replace and extinguish all prior agreements, draft agreements, arrangements, undertakings, or collateral contracts of any nature between us, whether oral or written, in relation to such subject matter.

The waiver by Jaeger-LeCoultre of a breach of any provision of these Media Centre Terms of Use will not operate to be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

 

Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Media Centre Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Jaeger-LeCoultre, without reference to conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to the Media Centre Terms of Use, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, shall be adjudicated or arbitrated in accordance with said Media Centre Terms of Use.
