All pictures on www.pierrederoche.com are protected by copyright. Using Pierre DeRoche`s pictures without visibly naming the source, claiming it is you in the pictures or pretending to be Pierre DeRoche or using the images and contents for an online advertisement fall under copyright infringement and / or identity theft. These are serious legal matters. When pictures from this website are used in incorrect ways, (legal) steps will be taken. Posting pictures on your blog is no problem and also welcomed from our side, but there has always to be a visible link back to the source. Pierre DeRoche does not take any responsibility for misuse of the images with quoted sources in the blog section.

DISCLAIMERS

Your use of the site is at your sole risk. The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to the site or any feature or part thereof at any time. Pierre DeRoche expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any warranties that materials on the site are no infringing, as well as warranties implied from a course of performance or course of dealing; that access to the site will be uninterrupted or error-free; That the site will be secure; That the site or the server that makes the site available will be virus-free; or that information on the site will be complete, accurate or timely. If you download any materials from the site, you do so at your own discretion and risk. You will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such materials. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Pierre DeRoche or through or from the site shall create any warranty of any kind. The company does not make any warranties or representations regarding the site or the use of the materials on the site in terms of their completeness, correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise. In certain jurisdictions, the law may not permit the disclaimer of warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

You acknowledge and agree that you assume full responsibility for your use of the site. You acknowledge and agree that any information you send or receive during your use of the site may not be secure and may be intercepted by unauthorized parties. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the site is at your own risk and that the site is made available to you at no charge. Recognizing such, you acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Pierre DeRoche, nor its suppliers or third party content providers will be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, exemplary, incidental, special, consequential or other damages arising out of or in any way related to the site, or any other sites you access through a link from the site or from any actions we take or fail to take as a result of communications you send to us, or the delay or inability to use the site, or for any information, products or services advertised in or obtained through the site, Pierre DeRoche`s removal or deletion of any materials submitted or posted on its site, or otherwise arising out of the use of the site, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if Pierre DeRoche or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. This disclaimer applies, without limitation, to any damages or injury arising from any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defects, delay in operation or transmission, computer viruses, file corruption, communication-line failure, network or system outage, your loss of profits, or theft, destruction, unauthorized access to, alteration of, loss or use of any record or data, and any other tangible or intangible loss.

Your sole and exclusive remedy for any of the above claims or any dispute with Pierre DeRoche is to discontinue your use of the site. You and Pierre DeRoche agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the site must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues or the cause of action is permanently barred. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, all or a portion of the above limitation may not apply to you.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pierre DeRoche and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, subcontractors and suppliers from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from your use of the site and any violation of these terms of use. If you cause a technical disruption of the site or the systems transmitting the site to you or others, you agree to be responsible for any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from that disruption. Pierre DeRoche reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with Pierre DeRoche in the defense of such matter.
