6.2 Copyright policy.

The company respects the intellectual property of others and asks of the users of its website that they do the same. In relation to our website we have adopted and implemented a policy that respects copyright law and provides for the removal of any content that breaches this law and the termination of any users of our online website who repeatedly breach intellectual property rights, including copyrights. Any reproduction, public mention (Autoscout, Mobile, Vlan,...) or reuse of the website as regards text, images, logos and information in any manner whatsoever shall be prohibited. Approval for this can only be obtained by means of a permission previously requested by the visitor from ECR Car Retail which includes the express request for permission and where ECR Car Retail has expressly consented to this request for access in writing. In case of third-party property, visitors must apply for permission from the third party concerned. If you are of the opinion that one our users is unlawfully breaching copyrights on a work through the use of our website and wish to have the material that allegedly breaches the copyright removed, the following information in the form of a written notification must be provided to our designated marketing department:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the work(s) protected by copyright which, according to you, has been breached;
• identification of the material in our services which, according to you, constitutes a breach and which you are asking us to remove;
• sufficient information to allow us to find the said material;
• your address, telephone number and e-mail address;
• a statement that you are of the opinion, in good faith, that the use of the objectionable material is not permitted by the holder of the copyright, by their representative, or by law; and
• a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, under penalty of perjury, that you are the holder of the copyright which has allegedly been breached, or that you are authorised to act on behalf of the holder of the copyright.

6.3 General.

These conditions may be revised, and when we carry out substantial changes we may inform you of this by sending an e-mail to the last e-mail address you have given us or by publishing a notification of the changes on our website. You shall be responsible for providing us with your most recent e-mail address. If the last e-mail address you have given us is not valid, the e-mail sent by us containing such a notification shall still be a valid notification of the changes described in it. Changes to these conditions shall enter into force at the earliest thirty (30) calendar days after we have sent an e-mail message to you or thirty (30) calendar days after we have posted the notification of the changes on our website. These changes shall enter into force immediately for new users of our website. By continuing to use our website after the notification of such changes, you indicate that you appreciate those changes and you agree to be bound by the provisions and conditions relating to those changes.

6.4 Electronic communication.

The communication between you and the company makes use of electronic means, regardless of whether you use the website or send us e-mails, or messages from businesses are posted on the website or communicated to you by e-mail.

Failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these conditions shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. The section titles in these conditions are merely for purposes of ease of use and shall have no legal or contractual effect. The word 'including' shall mean 'including without limitation'. If any provision of these conditions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these conditions shall continue to remain in full force and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be amended so that it is valid and enforceable, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship with the company shall be that of an independent contractor and neither of the parties shall be an agent or partner of the other. These conditions, as well as your rights and obligations therein, cannot be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without prior written permission from ECR Car Retail, and any attempt to assign, subcontract, delegate or transfer in breach of the foregoing shall be null and void.
