3. Intellectual Property

 

The Empress Kythene website and its contents are protected by intellectual-property laws.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all content appearing on the website is owned by, licensed to or used with permission by Mach and Kyth FZ LLC.

 

This includes, without limitation, the Empress Kythene name and identity, trademarks, logos, monograms, jewellery designs, product designs, collection names, photographs, films, illustrations, drawings, graphics, artwork, text, stories, editorial content, packaging designs, website design, layouts, icons, audio, video, software and other creative materials.

 

All rights are reserved.

 

Nothing contained on the website grants you any licence or right to use any trademark, design, copyright or other intellectual property belonging to Empress Kythene or a third party except as expressly permitted under these Terms.

 

 

4. Permitted Use of Website Content

 

You may view and access content from our website for your own personal and non-commercial use.

 

You may not, without our prior written permission, reproduce, copy, modify, publish, republish, distribute, display, transmit, sell, license, commercially exploit or create derivative works from any part of our website or its content.

 

You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice appearing on our content.

 

The use of Empress Kythene content for commercial purposes, resale, advertising, product development, imitation or the creation or promotion of competing products is prohibited unless expressly authorised by us in writing.

 

 

5. Automated Access, Scraping and Artificial Intelligence

 

You may not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, automated extraction tools or similar technologies to access, collect, copy, reproduce or systematically extract content, images, product information or other data from our website without our prior written permission.

 

You may not use Empress Kythene content, including our jewellery designs, images, illustrations, written material or other creative works, to train, develop, test or improve artificial intelligence, machine-learning or generative systems without our prior written permission.

 

This restriction does not prevent ordinary indexing by legitimate search engines for the purpose of displaying our website in search results.

 

 

6. Trademarks and Brand Identity

 

The name Empress Kythene, its logos, monograms, collection names, distinctive design elements and other brand identifiers are trademarks or proprietary assets of Mach and Kyth FZ LLC or are otherwise protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

 

Nothing on the website should be interpreted as granting permission to use any Empress Kythene trademark, logo or other brand asset without our prior written consent.

 

Unauthorised use, imitation or reproduction of our trademarks or brand identity is prohibited.

 

 

7. Product Images and Website Representations

 

We take reasonable care to present our creations and information accurately.

 

However, images displayed on digital devices may not perfectly represent the appearance, colour, scale or detail of a physical creation. Differences may arise because of photography, lighting, screen settings, device characteristics or other technical factors.

 

Fine jewellery may also incorporate natural gemstones or materials whose colour, characteristics and appearance may vary from one creation to another.

 

Website images are therefore intended to provide a faithful representation but should not be considered an absolute representation of every physical characteristic of a creation.

 

Product specifications, availability, prices and the conditions applicable to purchases are addressed separately in our Terms of Sale and on the relevant product page.

 

 

8. Website Information

 

We take reasonable care to ensure that information appearing on our website is accurate and current.

 

However, we do not guarantee that all website content will at all times be complete, error-free or current.

 

We may correct errors, update information, modify content or change the presentation or functionality of the website at any time.

 

Nothing on the website should be regarded as professional, financial, investment or other specialist advice.

 

 

9. Client Accounts

 

Where our website allows you to create a client account, you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and current.

 

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activities undertaken through your account.

 

You should notify us promptly if you believe that your account or credentials have been accessed or used without authorisation.

 

We may suspend or restrict access to an account where reasonably necessary to protect you, other clients, our website or our business.

 

 

10. Prohibited Uses

 

You must not use our website to engage in unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or harmful activity.

 

In particular, you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, systems, accounts or data; interfere with website security or functionality; introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful technology; impersonate another person; submit false or misleading information; use the website for fraudulent transactions; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or use our content in a manner prohibited by these Terms.

 

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe that these Terms have been violated or that use of the website presents a security, legal or operational risk.

 

 

11. Communications and User-Submitted Content

 

Where our website allows you to submit reviews, comments, enquiries, feedback or other content, you remain responsible for the material you submit.

 

You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, threatening, misleading, discriminatory, infringing, obscene or otherwise inappropriate.

 

You must also ensure that you have the necessary rights to submit any material you provide to us.

 

Information submitted in connection with Client Services, orders or other personal enquiries will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

 

 

12. Unsolicited Creative Ideas

 

Empress Kythene develops its collections, concepts and creative work through its own creative processes and collaborators.

 

We therefore ask that you do not submit unsolicited jewellery designs, concepts, artwork, collection proposals or other creative ideas unless we have specifically invited you to do so.

 

The receipt of unsolicited material does not create a confidential, fiduciary, partnership or other professional relationship between you and Empress Kythene.

 

 

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

 

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by third parties, including payment providers, social-media platforms and other service providers.

 

These third-party services operate independently from Empress Kythene and may have their own terms, privacy policies and practices.

 

The presence of a link does not necessarily constitute our endorsement of the third party or its content.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Empress Kythene is not responsible for the content, availability, security or practices of independent third-party websites or services.

 

 

14. Website Availability and Security

 

We seek to maintain the availability, security and proper operation of our website.

 

However, we do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors.

 

Access may occasionally be suspended or restricted for maintenance, updates, security, technical issues or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

 

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the website where reasonably necessary.

 

 

15. Limitation of Liability

 

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

 

Subject to this, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Empress Kythene and Mach and Kyth FZ LLC will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential or similar losses arising solely from your use of, or inability to use, the website.

 

These limitations relate to the use of the website itself.

 

Liability relating to the purchase, delivery, return, warranty or quality of an Empress Kythene creation is governed separately by our Terms of Sale and by any mandatory rights available to you under applicable consumer law.

 

 

16. Privacy and Cookies

 

Our collection and use of personal information through the website is governed by our Privacy Policy.

 

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy.

 

Where available, you may manage certain privacy and cookie preferences through Your Privacy Choices on our website.

 

 

17. Changes to These Terms

 

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes to our website, business, services or applicable legal requirements.

 

The latest version will be published on our website and identified by the Last Updated date shown at the beginning of these Terms.

 

Any updated Terms will apply to your use of the website from the date they become effective.

 

Changes to these Terms of Use will not alter the terms governing an order that has already been placed, which are governed by the applicable Terms of Sale.

 

 

18. Suspension or Termination of Access

 

We may suspend, restrict or terminate access to all or part of the website where reasonably necessary, including where we believe that a user has violated these Terms, infringed our rights or those of another person, engaged in fraudulent or unlawful conduct, or created a security or operational risk.

 

Provisions relating to intellectual property, liability and other provisions which by their nature are intended to continue will remain applicable following termination of access.

 

 

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

 

These Terms of Use are governed by the applicable laws of the United Arab Emirates.

 

Any dispute arising in connection with these Terms or the use of our website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of the United Arab Emirates, subject to any mandatory rights or protections available to you under applicable law.

 

 

20. General Provisions

 

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, this does not mean that we waive our right to enforce it later.

 

These Terms of Use, together with the policies and notices expressly referred to in them, constitute the terms governing your use of the Empress Kythene website.

 

They do not replace or modify our Terms of Sale, which govern purchases of Empress Kythene creations.
