The use of certain services offered to the Users through the Website are subject to specific terms and conditions (the “Special Conditions“), or require the acceptance of general conditions of purchase (the “CGP“) which, as the case may be, replace, complement and/or modify the Legal Notice.

Also, the use of the Website is subject to the legal texts, regulations of use, and/or instructions on the Website that complement the Legal Notice.
Use and operation of the Website
Unless otherwise specified in the Special Conditions and/or applicable GCP, the use of the Website is free and without prejudice to the cost of connection of the relevant telecommunications network, to which the User has access.
The User agrees to use the Website, as well as its services and content, without infringing the current law, good faith, generally accepted uses, and customs and public order. It is also prohibited the use of the Website for illegal or harmful purposes for Haute Is Online or any third party.
When using the Website, the User agrees not to perform any act that could damage the image, interests, and/or rights of Haute Is Online and/or third parties, or that could render the Website useless, and/or overcharge, or prevent, in any form, the usual use and operation of the Website, the computer equipment or documents, files and all kind of content stored on any computer equipment (hardware and software) of Haute Is Online or any other user.
In the event that the User infringes the Legal Notice or, as the case may be, any other terms or conditions detailed on the Website, Haute Is Online is entitled to limit, suspend and/or terminate their access to the Website, adopting any technical measure that may be necessary for such purposes.
In general, the use of the Website does not require prior subscription or registration. However, Haute Is Online may subject the use of certain services or the access to certain content to the prior completion of the registration and/or form available on the Website. Registration will be carried out as expressly stated in the service or in the Special Conditions and/or CGP that regulate it.
Haute Is Online will make its best efforts to keep the Website in good working order, prevent errors or remedy them, if they arise, amend them, and keep the contents of the Website up-to-date. However, Haute Is Online does not warrant the availability or continued access to the Website, that there are no errors in its contents or that its contents are up-to-date.
Haute Is Online reserves the right unilaterally to modify at any time and without prior notice, the clauses of the Legal Notice, as well as the configuration and, in general, any other content or service of the Website. The use of the services and/or the simple access to the Website will imply the acceptance of any amendment introduced. Haute Is Online therefore recommends regularly reviewing the Legal Notice and its subsequent amendments.
The User recognizes and accepts that at any moment Haute Is Online shall be entitled to interrupt, disable and/or terminate any of the contents and/or services included on the Website.
Liability
The user knows and voluntarily accepts that the use of the Website is carried out, in any event, under their sole and exclusive liability.
User shall be held liable for the damages and prejudices of any kind that Haute Is Online may suffer as a consequence of the infringement of any obligations that are subject to this Legal Notice and/or the law in force.
Haute Is Online shall not be liable for any loss and/or damage that may arise, directly or indirectly, from access to or use of the information the Website contains and, especially, information on third parties other than Haute Is Online and/or Collective By Design LLC., including, but not limited to, the ones produced in the computer systems or the one arisen by the introduction of a virus and/or hacking, and shall not be held liable for the damages suffered by the Users due to inappropriate use of the Website nor for the falls, interruptions, absence or fault in the communications.
Moreover, Haute Is Online shall not be held liable for any damage or loss caused to Users’ software or hardware arising from access and/or use of the Website.
Unless otherwise set forth by law, the User expressly acknowledges and agrees that Haute Is Online does not grant a warranty of any kind, either express or implied, over the Website, its content, and services.
Haute Is Online reserves the right to interrupt the access to the Website, as well as the provision of any or all content and/or services offered through it, at any time and without prior notice, either for technical reasons, security, or control, maintenance or any other cause.
Consequently, Haute Is Online does not guarantee the reliability, availability, or continuity of the Website or the content offered on it, so access to the Website and its contents is at the User’s own risk.
Furthermore, Haute Is Online shall not be held liable for temporary interruptions of service, delays, errors, malfunctions, and, in general, any inconvenience caused by factors that are not attributable to Haute Is Online, to fraudulent or culpable actions of the User due to or by force majeure.
In this sense, Haute Is Online excludes to the full extent permitted by law, any liability for damages of any kind that may arise from lack of availability or continuity of the Website or services.
Haute Is Online has adopted security measures reasonably necessary to detect the existence of viruses and/or computer damages. However, the security measures of the computer systems are not entirely reliable and therefore Haute Is Online cannot guarantee the absence of viruses or other elements that may cause alterations in the computer systems (software and hardware) of the User or in electronic files contained therein.
Haute Is Online excludes to the fullest extent permitted by law, any liability for damages of any kind that may be due to the presence of viruses or other elements contained in the Website, which may alter the computer system, electronic documents, and/or files of Users.
Haute Is Online excludes any liability for the use that the User may make of the Website’s content that may result in a violation of any rule, national or international, of intellectual property or image rights and/or any other right of third parties.
Access to the Website and any use made of the information contained therein is the sole responsibility of whoever does it. Haute Is Online shall not be liable for any consequence, damage, and/or prejudice that may result from such access or use of the information, nor for any possible security errors that may occur or the potential damage caused to the User’s computer system (hardware and software), files or documents stored therein as a result of a malfunction of the browser or the use of non-updated versions.
Neither will Haute Is Online be liable for damages and/or prejudices arising from the use of the contents of the Website. In particular, Haute Is Online is not responsible for the contents or the state of the links that are contained on the Website and that may lead the User to other websites operated by third parties.

Policy on hyperlinks
a) Links to the Website
The introduction of hyperlinks or technical link devices (e.g. links, banners, or buttons) for commercial purposes on websites outside Haute Is Online (the “Site with Link “), which allow access to the Website, without prior written consent of HAUTE IS ONLINE is expressly prohibited. In any case, the existence of such hyperlinks does not imply the existence of a commercial relationship with the owner of the Site with Link, nor the acceptance and/or responsibility by Haute Is Online of its contents and/or services.
The Site with Link shall comply with the law in force and shall not, in any way, house content of its own or of third parties that: (i) is unlawful, harmful, or contrary to morals and good manners (pornography, violence, racism, degradation, etc.); and/or (ii) results inappropriate or not pertinent in connection with the brand Haute Is Online and/or Collective By Design LLC.

HAUTE IS ONLINE shall not be in any way liable for the result obtained through these hyperlinks or technical link devices (e.g. links or buttons) or for the consequences arising from the access by Users to the Linked Sites. This third-party content is provided by them, so HAUTE IS ONLINE cannot control the legality of such content nor the quality of the services offered therein.
