Policies

Trademark Use Policy:  ASSA ABLOY Americas

The following policy ("Policy") of ASSA ABLOY Americas ("ASSA ABLOY"), and all of its affiliated group companies (collectively, the "Group Companies"), applies to the use of certain intellectual property of all such Group Companies, including all trademarks, names, logos, product images, and related information (the "ASSA ABLOY Marks"). ASSA ABLOY Marks are proprietary and critical to the success of ASSA ABLOY and the Group Companies, and may only be used in strict compliance with this Policy.

This Policy covers any person or entity reselling any product of any Group Company with the consent of such Group Company (each, an "Approved Reseller"). Each Approved Reseller has a non-exclusive right to use certain of the ASSA ABLOY Marks relating to any of the Group Companies for which it is an Approved Reseller, subject to the following conditions:

  (1)   Approved Reseller's use of ASSA ABLOY Marks must be truthful, fair, and not misleading;
 
(2)   Approved Reseller's advertising must clearly indicate that it is advertising of the Approved Reseller, and is not advertising of ASSA ABLOY;
 
(3)   Approved Reseller may not use any ASSA ABLOY Marks as part of or in connection with a domain name;
 
(4)   Approved Reseller's advertising must not imply or suggest an association between the Approved Reseller and ASSA ABLOY other than that of buyer and seller;
 
(5)   Approved Reseller's use of ASSA ABLOY Marks must be a positive representation of ASSA ABLOY, the Group Companies, and their products;
 
(6)   Approved Reseller's trade name must be more predominant on Approved Reseller's advertising than the ASSA ABLOY Marks;
 
(7)   Approved Reseller's use of ASSA ABLOY Marks must include the trademark symbol ® or TM, as appropriate, along with the following trademark legend printed in legible text on the Web page or document containing ASSA ABLOY Marks:
 
  
  “[describe ASSA ABLOY Marks] are trademarks or registered trademarks of ASSA ABLOY, Inc. or one of its affiliates in the United States and other countries.";
 
(8)   Approved Reseller must not make modifications of any ASSA ABLOY Marks; and
 
(9)   Approved Reseller may use only ASSA ABLOY Marks associated with the Group Companies for which it is an Approved Reseller (e.g., an Approved Reseller that sells Group Company X products but not Group Company Y products may use Group Company X trademarks in connection with its sale of Group Company X products, but may not use Group Company Y trademarks).

ASSA ABLOY reserves the right to review Approved Reseller's usage of ASSA ABLOY Marks at any time and may:

  (a)   require changes to the use of ASSA ABLOY Marks at any time in its sole discretion, which changes must be implemented within 30 days of written notice to Approved Reseller;
 
(b)   condition the use of ASSA ABLOY Marks on ASSA ABLOY's prior approval of such use, which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion;
 
(c)   revoke permission to use ASSA ABLOY Marks at any time for any or no reason upon 30 days prior written notice to Approved Reseller; and
 
(d)   revoke permission to use ASSA ABLOY Marks immediately upon notice to Approved Reseller in the event Approved Reseller is in violation of this Policy, or of any other agreement with ASSA ABLOY or any Group Company.

Approved Reseller's right to use ASSA ABLOY Marks in no way conveys to Approved Reseller any proprietary or economic interest in any ASSA ABLOY Marks.

Use of ASSA ABLOY Marks in violation of this Policy may result in severe civil and criminal liabilities. ASSA ABLOY will vigorously enforce this Policy by seeking all appropriate legal remedies, including, but not limited to, pecuniary damages and injunctive relief.

If you have any questions concerning compliance with this Policy, please contact your local Door Security Solutions sales representative.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to transactions conducted with or through ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions through any means other than this Site. Similarly, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any transactions or contact you may have with our Business Partners. In addition, this Site contains links to other sites, including links to sites independently operated by our Business Partners.

Your IP address
An Internet Protocol address (an "IP Address") is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you search and browse or "surf" the Internet and its graphical user interface often called the world wide web or, simply, the "Web." Computer hardware known as "servers" which host sites on the Web usually can automatically identify when your computer is visiting a site by identifying and collecting your IP Address. ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions itself may identify and collect IP Addresses in this manner. We do so for a number of reasons, including, chiefly, to help diagnose problems with our own servers, to administer the Site and to try to identify those who visit the Site. ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may also use your IP Address in conjunction with the Tracking Technologies described below. If we do, we typically use it for, among other things, such purposes as remembering the preferences you select when you visit our Site's pages and in determining how you and other users have arrived at our Site-directly, via search engine or from a banner ad.

Tracking Technologies
ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may collect information from you that is not in the same category as the Personal Information discussed below. For example, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions might track information about the date and time you and other visitors access our Site and the type of Web browser you may be using. As with many Web sites, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may use small text files often called "cookies" and/or other technology (usually referred to as web bugs, e-mail bugs, clear GIFs, web beacons and tracker GIFs) in the Site or in our communications with you. We refer to all of these collectively as, "Tracking Technologies." If and when we use Tracking Technologies, we do it to enhance the functionality of the Site and to make your interactions with us more convenient and efficient. The exact type of Tracking Technologies used by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions varies from time to time. In some cases, such as when we use cookies, we may attempt to store a small file text file locally on your computer hardware. The settings of your Web browser software can very likely be adjusted to notify you when or if we try to use Tracking Technologies in this manner; some Web browsers will even allow you to prevent us from using Tracking Technologies at all. If you do not want us to use cookies or other Tracking Technologies we suggest you configure your Web browser accordingly. We honor the browser settings of visitors to the Site and make no attempt to circumvent them. You should be aware, however, that some features of our Site may not be available to those who prevent the use of Tracking Technologies. Third parties (including, but not limited to, our Business Partners software vendors, advertisers and fulfillment companies) may also use Tracking Technologies by or through the Site. ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions has no control over what information such third parties track or collect, and has no responsibility or liability for any tracking, data collection or other activities of such third parties. ASSA ABLOY DOOR SECURITY SOLUTIONS WANTS TO BE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND, HOWEVER, THAT IF WE OURSELVES USE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND YOU ACCEPT THEM ONTO YOUR COMPUTER, SUCH ACCEPTANCE IN NO WAY GIVES US ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. AS WE EXPLAIN ABOVE, YOU MAY SET YOUR WEB BROWSER SOFTWARE TO REJECT TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES.

Personal Information
As used in this Privacy Policy "Personal Information" includes your name, address, phone number, e-mail address or any other information which might reasonably be used to identify you individually but does not generally include the generic Web surfing data and information capable of being gathered through our use of Tracking Technologies. Subject to this Privacy Policy, any communication or material you transmit to the Site including Personal Information (other than any Personal Information you may submit as part of an employment application or request for information about becoming a Business Partner), whether by electronic mail or otherwise, for any reason, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may use any such materials (together with any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in it) in any manner, for any purpose, without credit or compensation to you. ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may, for instance, share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose such materials to third parties. Any third party to whom ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions discloses such information will be pre-screened by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions, will be reasonably determined by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions to be reputable, and will be required by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions to use the materials for marketing products and services which ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions determines, in its sole judgment, visitors might find of interest. Generally speaking, however, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions uses reasonable efforts to limit its use of Personal Information to reasonable business purposes. For example, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions may use Personal Information to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information that ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions believes may be of interest. Personal Information also might be used for editorial and feedback purposes, for internal ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users' behavior, for product development, for content improvement and to customize the content and layout of the Site.

Employment and Business Partner Information
If you submit information to us by filling out a form to apply for employment or request information about becoming a Business Partner (or for any similar reason), you should do so assuming that, regardless of whether you have exercised your general opt-out right pursuant to the paragraph below with respect to Personal Information collected at the Site, we necessarily will share that information with third parties who may be assisting us in those areas of our business. While those third parties are bound by certain confidentiality obligations owed to ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions does not guarantee that they will treat your submitted information confidentially and ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions will not be liable or responsible to you in any way for their actions.

Opt-Out Right
Visitors to the Site may exercise the right to opt-out of having their Personal Information collected by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions, used by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions for secondary purposes, disclosed to third parties, or used by ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions or third parties to send promotional correspondences. Such opt-out right may be exercised by contacting ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions via postal mail or e-mail at the addresses above. All such correspondence must clearly identify you by name and address and must identify its purpose as being the exercise of your opt-out right. Your opt-out right shall not apply, however, to our need to disclose information you submit to us by filling out a form to apply for employment or in connection with the administration or maintenance of our Site. Certain jurisdictions reverse this opt-out procedure. In these jurisdictions, rather than being permitted to use your Personal Information until you opt-out, we instead are prohibited from using your Personal Information unless you specifically opt-in by granting us permission to do so. Where we actually know that your Personal Information has been collected from a jurisdiction with this type of opt-in rule (e.g., in certain cases it may be clear from your IP Address or from a Tracking Technology) we will adhere to those requirements. We will not, however, undertake any special duty to investigate where you are located or from what jurisdiction your Personal Information has been collected. The Opt-Out Right and Procedure described in this section are the default rules we use in operating the Site and are the standard to which we adhere in our privacy policy.

Security
ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions takes all reasonable security precautions regarding information stored on or from the Site. For instance, our Site can support encryption and other technologies to help protect the security of your transfer of data to the Site. Due to the open nature of the Internet, however, ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions cannot guarantee that any information stored on our servers, or transmitted to or from a user will be free from unauthorized access.
