Condiciones de Uso para los Servicios de Wacom

These Terms of Use for Wacom Services (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Wacom Europe GmbH (“Wacom”) and govern your account registration and use of the online services offered by Wacom, which includes the Wacom eStore EU available at https://estore.wacom.com/en-CH/ (collectively the “Wacom Service(s)”). Your Wacom account (“Wacom Account”) may also be used to sign on to other online services offered by Wacom and/or its affiliated companies that use the Wacom Account (collectively the “Wacom Site(s)”). You further acknowledge and agree that any goods, software, subscriptions or other services (collectively “Offerings”) that are made available through the Wacom Services or that you may purchase from Wacom, its affiliates, or third parties through the Wacom Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions.

1 Scope; Wacom Account

1.1 These Terms govern your access to and/or use of the Wacom Services, the Wacom Sites, and any associated Offerings. Other terms or conditions may apply to or govern your access to and/or use of specific Wacom Services, Wacom Sites, and/or Offerings. You agree that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and such additional terms or conditions, such additional terms or conditions shall govern and control, but only with respect to the specific Wacom Services, Wacom Sites, and/or Offerings to which such additional terms or conditions relate. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence or as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, Wacom will not be bound by any term, condition or other provision which is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms, including for example, any term, condition or other provision submitted by you in any order, receipt, acceptance, confirmation, or other document.

1.2 For any Wacom Services (or parts thereof) that do not require a Wacom Account to access and/or use, these Terms are effective upon your access and/or use of any such Wacom Services (or parts thereof) and your access to and/or use of any such Wacom Services (or parts thereof) constitutes your acceptance of these Terms. For any Wacom Services and/or Wacom Sites (or parts thereof) that require a Wacom Account to access and/or use, these Terms become effective upon your: (i) signing up for and activating your Wacom Account as described in Section 1.2.1 below, or by signing in to a Wacom Service using an existing Wacom Account created on a different Wacom Site; and (ii) accepting these Terms of Use as described in Section 1.2.2 below. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that:

1.2.1 When you sign up for a Wacom Account by selecting a user name and password and by providing a valid email address (or alternatively, by using an existing social media account to provide your information), you are requesting that Wacom makes you an offer to access and use the Wacom Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of these Terms. Wacom will confirm receipt of your registration request by email. If Wacom chooses to make you an offer (such decision to be made in Wacom’s sole and absolute discretion), Wacom will do so by sending you an activation link by email. This may also be combined with the aforementioned confirmation of receipt. You accept Wacom’s offer, and these Terms become effective, if and when you activate your Wacom Account by clicking the activation link. The following terms and conditions also apply to any Wacom Account created through the Wacom Services:

a) You agree that the information you provide to Wacom as part of obtaining a Wacom Account and/or using the Wacom Services is and will be accurate, current, and complete. You further agree to keep your Wacom Account information, including without limitation, your email address and, if applicable, billing information (including billing address), current and up-to-date.

b) Your Wacom Account is personal to you and you acknowledge and agree that you may not assign, rent, lease, loan, sell, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer your Wacom Account to any third party. Any licenses granted to you as part of any Offering tied to your Wacom Account are likewise personal to you and subject to the foregoing restriction, except to the extent any other terms and conditions applicable to such Offering permit transfer or assignment, or the foregoing restriction on transfer or sale is prohibited by applicable law. You further agree not to use the Wacom Account, user name, or password of any other user, or permit any third parties to use your Wacom Account, user name, or password.

c) You will keep the user name and password for your Wacom Account secure and confidential. You agree to inform Wacom without delay if you have reason to suspect that your user name and/or password has been disclosed to or otherwise obtained by any third party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, anyone using your Wacom Account on behalf of any Subscribing Organization (defined below) is not a “third party” for this purpose.

d) You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any and all uses of your Wacom Account, and any transactions and/or fees resulting therefrom.

1.2.2 When you sign in to any Wacom Service with your Wacom Account for the first time, you will be prompted to accept these Terms. You must accept these Terms by clicking “I ACCEPT” or taking such other action as prompted by the Wacom Service to indicate your acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you will not be permitted to complete the sign in process, and as such, you will not be permitted to use the Wacom Service. Your Wacom Account will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to it at the time you accepted and created your Wacom Account, except as such terms and conditions are later amended or modified by Wacom as permitted by these Terms.

1.3 The use of the Wacom Services is limited to persons over the age of 18 or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, you may not sign up for a Wacom Account, and Wacom may refuse to offer or provide you a Wacom Account, if you are under the age of 18 or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction and do not have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Wacom Services. Wacom further reserves the right to refuse to offer or provide you a Wacom Account if your prior Wacom Account was previously terminated by Wacom, or if Wacom has previously terminated or cancelled any other agreement previously entered into by you and Wacom. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are at least 18 years old or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, or have obtained your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Wacom Services; and (ii) Wacom has not previously terminated any prior Wacom Account owned or controlled by you, or any other agreement previously entered into by you and Wacom.

1.4 If you are using or opening a Wacom Account on behalf of a company, entity, or organization (collectively, a "Subscribing Organization"), then you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that Subscribing Organization with the authority to bind such Subscribing Organization to these terms, and that you agree to these terms on behalf of such Subscribing Organization. In such a case "you" in these terms refers to your Subscribing Organization, which shall ensure that each individual user accessing and using the Wacom Account on behalf of the Subscribing Organization complies with the obligations, limitations and restrictions contained herein.

1.5 Your Wacom Account, where applicable, may be used across a number of online services and platforms operated by Wacom and/or its affiliated companies. However, you acknowledge and agree that additional terms and/or conditions may apply to your purchase of, access to, and/or use of any Offerings made available on or through the Wacom Services. You will be given the opportunity to review and accept any such additional terms and conditions prior to completing your purchase or signing up for any such Offerings. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, your purchase of, access to, or use of an Offering will be considered your acceptance to the additional terms and conditions applicable to such Offering. In case of contradictions, these additional terms and conditions shall supersede these Terms.

2 Use of Wacom Services and Wacom Sites

2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Wacom will permit you to access the Wacom Services and use the features and/or functions associated with the Wacom Services. You may use the Wacom Services and the Wacom Sites when and as available. Although Wacom generally intends for the Wacom Services and the Wacom Sites to be available on an uninterrupted basis, the Wacom Services and the Wacom Sites will not always be available (e.g., during maintenance, changes, outages, and for other reasons). Wacom reserves the right to change or eliminate and restrict or block access to all or any part of the Wacom Services and/or the Wacom Sites, including any features, functions, or content displayed or made available through the Wacom Services and/or the Wacom Sites, from time to time with or without notice to you, in Wacom’s sole and absolute discretion.

2.2 You may enter into other agreements with Wacom, Wacom affiliates, and/or third parties through the Wacom Services that are specific to your access to and/or use of certain Offerings. For third party Offerings, your access to and/or use of the Offering is subject to the respective terms and conditions communicated to you by the respective third party vendor. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the any terms and conditions specific to a certain Offering, the terms and conditions specific to the Offering shall prevail with respect to your access to and/or use of the Offering only.

2.3 The vendor of any Offering will be clearly identified on the respective description page within the Wacom Services. Third party Offerings are made available by Wacom as a convenience to you. Unless Wacom specifically says so, Wacom does not endorse the third party provider of the Offering or the Offering itself, and Wacom is not responsible for, and shall have no liability in connection with, your access to and/or use of such third party Offering. If you purchase or sign up for a third party Offering, your transaction is not with Wacom, so you should review the third party’s terms of use, other contracts, and/or privacy policies specific to the Offering prior to completing your transaction.

2.3.1 From time to time there may be information on the Wacom Services and the Wacom Sites, whether or not posted by Wacom or by other users, that is outdated or that contains errors, inaccuracies, or omissions (“Inaccuracies”).
