    1.1. Faber SpA, Viale XIII Luglio, 160, 60044 Fabriano AN, Italy (“Faber”) is the provider of the Faber Digital Services which can be accessed by connecting the Faber Connected Product and/or other device enabled to connect the Faber Digital Services (e.g. a portable mobile device with the Faber App installed) to the Internet. Any legal relationship between the End User who uses a Faber Digital Service and the products connected to the service and Faber will be governed exclusively by these General Terms and Conditions of Service (the “Terms of Service”).

    1.2. The purchase of each Product enabled for Faber Digital Services (excluding the Product Software) is governed by the terms and conditions that the End User has agreed with the seller at the time of purchase.

    1.3. The software embedded in the Product, and any updates thereto (“Product Software”) are licensed and governed by Faber’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Certain features of the Faber Digital Service may be subject to additional guidelines or terms, which will be posted on the selected Faber Digital Service (e.g. privacy policy) in relation to such features.

    BY SUBSCRIBING TO A FABER DIGITAL SERVICE (INCLUDING ACTIVATING A FUNCTION FOR THE FABER DIGITAL SERVICE ON THE END USER’S PRODUCT OR A FABER APP THAT THE END USER HAS DOWNLOADED ON A PERSONAL DEVICE OR OTHERWISE, BY ACCESSING THE FABER DIGITAL SERVICE OR CREATING AN ACCOUNT FOR THE FABER DIGITAL SERVICE), THE END USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE IS AUTHORISED TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AND IF THE END USER AGREES ON BEHALF OF HIS OR HER EMPLOYER OR OTHER ENTITY, THE END USER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BIND SUCH ENTITY AND TO ACCEPT ALL THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE RELATING TO THE END USER’S USE OF THE FABER DIGITAL SERVICES. IF THE END USER DOES NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR IS NOT AUTHORISED TO BIND THE END USER TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, HE OR SHE MUST NOT CLICK ON THE “I AGREE”, “ACCEPT” OR SIMILAR BUTTON OR MUST CLICK ON THE “I DO NOT AGREE” BUTTON OR CLOSE THE WINDOW TO STOP CREATING AN ACCOUNT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE FABER DIGITAL SERVICES.

    The End User further acknowledges and agrees that if the Faber Product and/or Digital Service allows the End User to connect the Faber Product and/or Digital Service to third-party services (such as Amazon Alexa, for example) or to third-party or external devices other than the official Faber App for mobile devices (such as a personal computer, a smart device, intercom, external camera or microphone, etc.), any connection and possibility of use is provided strictly on an “as is” basis and at the risk of the End User and such use may be subject to the terms and conditions of the providers of such services or devices. Under no circumstances will Faber accept any liability for or in relation to such use of the Faber Product and/or Digital Services.

    The Product will connect with the Faber Digital Services by means of a Session ID dynamically created at the time of establishing the connection; the Session ID does not allow the identification of the individual product or the owner of the product (End User) by Faber without unreasonable effort. Therefore, the End User acknowledges that all data derived and uploaded from the Product and shared with Faber is anonymous or anonymised data and does not constitute personal data.

    1.4. Faber has the right to change the scope of the services at any time and to change the current technical requirements and the End User undertakes to always use the current version of the Faber Digital Services.

Use of the Faber Digital Service shall be limited to the selected Faber Digital Service specified in the End User’s Purchase Order for the Product (and in conjunction with the Documentation, as applicable).

    3.2. For all data uploaded by or through the Connected Product and collected and processed by the Faber Digital Services during the Term of such Faber Digital Services, including all subscription renewal periods, if applicable, Faber shall have a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license to collect, analyse or use statistical data relating to the Faber Digital Services in an anonymous form (see section 1.2 above), including all data derived from the Connected Product (“Device Data”) and the Connected Product, for the development, fine-tuning and scalability of the Faber Digital Services, including the generation of reports both for internal purposes and for reports made available to the End User, which may, depending on the Subscription chosen by the End User, be offered at an additional cost.

Faber will keep all statistical data confidential, and will not share such data with third parties (with the exception of its agents and consultants who perform services for Faber who are subject to a contractual obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information), except in aggregate form among several Faber End Users (for example, advertising of the total number of Internet-connected cooker hoods in operation on a given day sent through the Digital Service Faber).

Once the App is installed, it is no longer possible to stop uploading these types of data until the Product connects to Faber Digital Services. The End User acknowledges and accepts that the Faber Digital Service and the transmission of air quality data to the Accessory Device will not work and some functions and features of the Product may, in part or in their entirety, not work or be inaccessible if the relevant Faber App is not installed or is uninstalled or if the Product is disconnected from a Wi-Fi connection.

    1. License Restrictions

    4.1. Except as specifically provided in these Terms of Service, the grant of license in these Terms of Service does not permit the End User or any third party (directly or indirectly, in whole or in part) to: (a) reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code or create derivative works from the Faber Digital Services, or any part thereof, except as expressly permitted by local law and, in such case, only upon written notice to Faber; (b) use the Faber Digital Services in a capacity greater than that identified in a Purchase Order and in the Documentation; (c) sublicense, distribute or pledge the Faber Digital Services; (d) access, use or copy any part of the Faber Digital Services to develop, promote or support, directly or indirectly, any product or service that competes with the Faber Digital Services; (e) rent, lease or commercially share or otherwise use the Faber Digital Services for any third-party purposes; (f) remove any identification, patent, trademark, copyright or other notices from the Faber Digital Services or Related Components; (g) use any name, trademark or designation of Faber, or any of its affiliates or licensors or their respective products or services, except where explicitly permitted by Faber in writing; (h) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Faber Digital Services or the data of third parties contained therein; (i) attempt to gain unauthorised access to Faber’s Digital Services or related systems or networks, including access to the data of other Faber End Users; (j) disclose or publish, without Faber’s express written consent, performance or capacity statistics or the results of any benchmark tests performed on Faber Digital Services.

    1. Delivery of the Service, End User’s account, new versions of the Service

    5.1. In order to use the Services, the End User must register a user account (“Account”) and provide certain personal information, as prompted by the applicable registration form. The End User declares and warrants that: (a) all required registration information entered is true and accurate; (b) he or she shall maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) the End User’s use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation (e.g., End User is not located in an embargoed country or is not listed as a prohibited or restricted entity under applicable export control laws and regulations). The End User is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the login information to his or her Account and all Activities performed on this Account. The End User agrees to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols) for his or her Account and to keep the password secure to prevent others from gaining access. The End User undertakes to immediately notify Faber of any unauthorised use or suspected unauthorised use of his or her Account, or any other breach of security. Faber is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from the failure of the End User to comply with the above requirements.

    5.2. The End User who creates an Account is the “owner” of that Account and is the owner of the connected products associated with that Account. Individuals who are authorised by the owner to access the owner’s connected products and Faber Digital Service, if any, are all considered Authorised Users. The owner agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorised Users related to connected products and account information. Accordingly, the owner must ensure that he or she only authorises trusted persons to access their Account, Product Software and connected products. Faber shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the unauthorised use of accounts, user names, or passwords.

    5.3. Faber may periodically develop and install patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to the Service. Such changes may be made without notice or consent to maintain the highest level of performance of the Service.

    5.4. The End User further agrees, if and when notified of such possibility or interactively requested to do so, to promptly install the latest versions or patches/updates of the Product Software, and/or the software of any Auxiliary Device and/or, if applicable, any client software provided. Faber excludes all warranties and liability of any kind for the use of any software that has not been updated in accordance with this section 5.2.

    1. Period of Validity and Termination

    6.1. Period of Validity

    The Period of Validity of these Terms of Service commences upon acceptance of these Terms of Service.

    In the event that a Subscription Period has not been agreed upon at the time of purchase of the Product, these Terms of Service govern the use of the Faber Digital Service for as long as the End User has access to the Faber Digital Service.

    In the event that a Subscription Term has been agreed, the validity of these Terms of Service will continue until the end of the agreed Term.

    In the event that the Parties have agreed in writing that a Subscription shall, at the end of a Subscription Period, automatically renew for another such Subscription Period, the Term shall continue until such a Party terminates the Subscription and consequently these Terms of Service in accordance with section 6.2 below.

    6.2. Ordinary termination

    In the event that a Subscription, at the end of a Subscription Period, automatically renews for another term pursuant to the Purchase Order, either Party may terminate these Terms of Service, without cause, by giving the other party thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to the end of the current Subscription Period.

    6.3. Termination brought by Faber for violation

    Faber may terminate these Terms of Service and cancel the subscription period without any liability upon notice to the End User if the End User violates any material term of these Terms of Service and fails to remedy such violation within thirty (30) days of the original formal notice or such other period as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, provided that, in the event that a violation cannot be remedied, Faber may terminate it with immediate effect by written notice.

    6.4. Automatic termination on purchase cancellation

    These Terms of Service shall be automatically terminated in the event of valid withdrawal by the User from any underlying purchase contract relating to the Product and shall lapse, without prior notice from Faber or another party from whom the End User made the purchase, when the withdrawal of the contract becomes effective.

    6.5. Effects of the termination

    Upon expiration or termination of these Terms of Service, (a) the subscription period will cease together with all license rights for the use of the Faber Digital Services and related components, and Faber will cease the provision of the Faber Digital Services, and (b) the End User shall immediately pay all outstanding invoices, including charges due for any existing Subscription Period. To be clear, the End User is responsible for payment arising from a Subscription Period (even if an End User key is disabled or a Connected Product or Accessory Device required is not active or connected to the Faber Digital Service) in accordance with these Terms of Service.

    1. Charges/Payment

    7.1 The charges for each Faber Digital Service and Related Components (e.g. the fee for the Service Set Up) are those specified in the Purchase Order.

    7.2 Payment: Faber invoices End Users for the agreed subscription fees for the Faber Digital Services, if applicable.

    1. Confidential information / Protection of personal data

    8.1. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) under these Terms of Service, which the Disclosing Party designates as confidential at the time of disclosure, or which a reasonable person should know to be confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Faber Digital Service, software (object code and source code), Documentation, training materials, future offers and products, business plans, investors, prices, including charges paid hereunder, user IDs and passwords shall be considered Confidential Information without it being necessary to designate such information as confidential. Confidential Information does not include information that is: (i) already known to the public, (ii) created by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information, (iii) otherwise known to the Receiving Party without any unlawful conduct of the Receiving Party, (iv) which must be made public by law or court order, provided that the Disclosing Party is given reasonable notice in advance of the obligation to produce the Confidential Information, or (v) required by prospective investors or necessary for acquisition or merger activities directly related to the Receiving Party, as part of the relevant due diligence process. The Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party, and each party acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights thereto.

    8.2. The Receiving Party will keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential and may disclose it only to employees and consultants who have a need to know and who are subject to confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those set forth in these Terms of Service. The Receiving Party will not use or disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information other than as provided in these Terms of Service. Each party agrees to use the same level of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorised use or disclosure as it does to protect its own information, but in no event to treat it with less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after discovery of a breach of this confidentiality section, report to the Disclosing Party any unauthorised use, disclosure of, or access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, subject to any reasonable restrictions placed on the timing of such disclosure by a judicial or regulatory authority investigating the incident; and take all reasonable steps to prevent any further disclosure or unauthorised access. The parties shall have the right to seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall not be the exclusive remedy for any breach of confidentiality, but shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available in these Terms of Service or otherwise at law.

    8.3. Faber collects personal data when and if the End User or an Authorised User transmits it to Faber, through registration, filling in forms or emails, as part of an order for products or services, after-sales assistance for products or services, questions or requests about the products ordered and similar situations. Faber will process such personal data as set out in the privacy policy, as amended from time to time and incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service (the privacy policy can be consulted on our website). Faber assumes that this is in the mutual interest of our End User and the Authorised User to maintain a good business relationship. If Faber receives personal data from the Reseller or an End User for the purposes described above, Faber is an independent data controller pursuant to applicable data protection law.

    1. Faber’s Warranties

    1. Indemnification
