Your information and data

Nikon collects personal information about you that is necessary for us to perform our functions and to provide you with a better service, including to process orders made by you, communicate special offers, run competitions, conduct market research and to comply with Nikon's legal obligations.

To use the Website, you will need to grant Nikon certain permissions and access to your Device.  This includes, for example, enabling the Website to use cookies.  Nikon may collect personal information and data relating you from your use of the Website and disclose such information and data to third parties in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, Nikon's Privacy Policy and applicable laws. 

Key points from Nikon's Privacy Policy include:

·         Disclosure of personal information: Nikon may disclose your personal information internally within the Nikon Corporation group of companies, to our service providers (eg IT service providers and marketing agencies) which may be located outside of Australia, and to anyone else to whom you authorise us to disclose your personal information.  Within Nikon, only designated Nikon employees or agents who need to carry out legitimate business functions for Nikon are permitted to view personal information and are bound by strict confidentiality guidelines.

·         Use and disclosure of credit information: Nikon may disclose your credit information for the purpose of assessing your application for credit, managing your relationship with us and collecting overdue payments.  Nikon may disclose your credit information internally within the Nikon Corporation group of companies, credit reporting bodies, Nikon's credit insurers and Nikon's insurance brokers.  Nikon may be entitled to disclose to a credit reporting body if you fail to meet your consumer credit obligations or if you commit a serious credit infringement.

We will not otherwise sell or distribute your personal information to third parties unless we have your consent (or are required by law to do so).  However, you should be careful when posting Content on the Website as it is considered public and Nikon is under no obligation of confidentiality regarding Content you post.

Limitations of our liability

Nikon's liability to you and certain third parties is limited under the Terms and Conditions.  These limitations of liability generally apply where Loss or liability:

·         is caused by your act, omission or breach of the Terms and Conditions (e.g. a failure by you to advise us of any change to your details, or to notify us if you believe your account has been breached);

·         is caused by circumstances outside Nikon's reasonable control (e.g. due to force majeure events or where Nikon is unable to achieve anticipated delivery timeframes due to factors beyond its control);

·         is caused by general risks associated with using the Internet, such as threats posed by viruses;

·         relates to the reliability or performance of the Website (e.g. if you are unable to access the Website due to a slow internet connection or there are too many users trying to access the Website);

·         is due to terminating your access to the Website or Membership under the Terms and Conditions;

·         is caused because of any delay in the delivery or change in delivery times of the Product(s); or

·         is due to any delay in processing a refund due to you.

To the extent permitted by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law and the Consumer Guarantees), Nikon excludes all representations, guarantees, conditions, warranties, rights, remedies, liabilities and other terms that may be conferred or implied by statute, general law or custom.  If you are a Consumer acquiring goods or services that are not PDH Good or Services, we limit our liability for a failure to comply with any Consumer Guarantee (except if that would cause all or part of this clause to be void) to, at our option:

·         for goods, repairing or replacing the goods or paying for them to be repaired or replaced; and

·         in the case of services, re-supplying the services or paying the cost of having the services re-supplied.

Your liability

Any transactions on the Website under your Membership ID are binding.  For this reason, you must:

·         keep your Membership ID and password secure and confidential at all times; and

·         promptly notify us if you have reason to believe that there has been a security breach of your account.

You will be liable for any charges incurred by us that are caused by your failure to state the Delivery Address correctly (e.g. redelivery fees).  If we do not receive your payment before the Product is delivered to you, we may reclaim the Product from you even if it has been delivered to you, and we may keep or re-sell the Product.

Termination of access

Nikon may suspend or terminate your Membership account, or remove your access to the Website, without notice for the following reasons:

·         if you have breached or we suspect that you have breached these Terms and Conditions;

·         if you have committed any act or omission which (a) has resulted or may result in Nikon incurring any liability; (b) causes or may cause damage to Nikon's reputation; (c) has or may have a negative impact on any other Member(s); or

·         if Nikon decides to change its My Nikon Life offering.
