Terms of Use

The following are the terms and conditions that apply to and govern your use of this site. These terms also incorporate our privacy statement.

If you do not agree with any terms or conditions herein, or have any questions, please contact us directly at webmaster@bonits.com before proceeding, and we will be pleased to assist you. By choosing to access and use this site, you are expressly agreeing to be legally bound by these terms.

Exclusive terms

These terms exclusively govern your access to and use of this site, and do not alter or affect the terms and conditions of any other agreement that you may have or enter into with any Bon Information Technology Systems entity for any given product or service. That latter agreement continues to govern that specific legal relationship. However, some pages on this site, or areas of this site with restricted access — including project extranets or areas engaged in e-commerce — may require the application of additional or special terms and conditions, which may be accessed through a separate link on the home page of that site.

Changes to the site

In order to improve our service to you, we reserve the right to make changes to the access, operation and content of this site at any time without notice. We also reserve the right to make changes to these terms and to the privacy statement, so please check before each use for changes.

Registration process

Portions of this site are exclusively reserved for the use of persons who have completed the registration process and been granted authorisation for access. No persons other than authorised users may access secured portions of this site. Passwords and registrations are non-transferable.

You are solely responsible and liable for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your password, and accordingly are liable for all activities on this site arising from the use of that password — even where such use was not specifically authorised by you, or where a third party obtained the password fraudulently or in error. We cannot verify that any user accessing this site with a password is the individual authorised to do so, and therefore rely solely on your representation of authenticity.

Should you become aware that your name, account, registration or password is being used, or attempted to be used, by an unauthorised person — or in the event of any other possible misuse or fraud — it is your responsibility to inform us immediately so that we may take appropriate action. We reserve the right, in our sole judgement and discretion, to terminate any user’s access to and use of secured portions of the site at any time and without notice, for any reason, including any possible or alleged misuse, fraud or misconduct by any person accessing the site under your user name and password.

User conduct

For the convenience of our users, some areas on this site may allow interactive communication, some of which may be conducted in real time. You agree not to post any content which is or may be, in whole or in part: false, unlawful, criminal, fraudulent, misleading, infringing, libellous, slanderous, defamatory, profane, racist, sexist, threatening, inflammatory, obscene, invasive of personal or privacy rights, advertising or soliciting for commercial purposes, containing any known viruses or bugs, or which is otherwise harmful, offensive, inappropriate or unprofessional.

Bon Information Technology Systems has no obligation to monitor, screen, filter or edit any information, communication or content posted or shared by users on the site. However, we may at our discretion monitor use of the site, and we reserve the right to delete or edit any objectionable content posted by authorised users, terminate a user’s access, deny future access, or take any other action we deem appropriate. Please report any violations to us at webmaster@bonits.com.

We will handle any personally identifiable data or information posted by you in accordance with our privacy statement; however, any third-party liability or usage arising from your posting is solely at your own risk. Information obtained through monitoring our site may also be used for duly authorised law enforcement investigations.

Bon Information Technology Systems has no liability for any content posted by users on any site, including secured sites.

Compliance with all laws

You agree that your use of this site will comply with all relevant and applicable laws and regulations, including United States export control laws and executive orders. The information provided on and through this site, or any secured site, may in some cases be deemed controlled technology subject to the export control restrictions of the United States.

It is your obligation to verify and comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the United States pertaining to any potential access, transfer and use of any information herein which may be deemed “controlled” as defined by law. This site may not be accessed or used by any national of a country or group against which the United States has instituted sanctions, by Specially Designated Nationals, or by other restricted persons listed on the Denied Parties list.

Due to technical uncertainties preventing verification of the identity and ultimate point of access of any person attempting to use the site, your access — including the presentment of any authorised user ID and password — constitutes your express representation that the person attempting access is not a national of any such sanctioned country or group or a Specially Designated National, is not included on the Denied Parties list, and, if an authorised user, that you have not disclosed or provided your password and user ID to any such person. Users are fully liable and subject to prosecution to the full extent of the law for any violation of this paragraph, and agree to defend, indemnify and hold Bon Information Technology Systems harmless from and against any and all such damages and liability.

Site security

So that this site remains, to the extent possible, open and available to all users, we have mechanisms in place to identify unauthorised attempts to gain access to secured areas, to upload or change information or images, to inject harmful elements, or otherwise to cause damage. Even though we strive to keep these mechanisms up to date, technical uncertainties mean we are unable to represent or warrant that the content, information or links on this site are secure and free of data-processing errors, technical glitches, operational problems, interruptions, errors, bugs, worms, viruses, unauthorised third-party access or any other harmful elements.

You remain solely responsible for the security and protection of your own systems when using this site. Unauthorised attempts to upload, insert or change any information or image on this site, or to cause harm, are strictly prohibited and may be punishable to the full extent of the law, including under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.

Outside links

For your information or convenience, this site may contain direct links or hyperlinks to websites maintained by third parties. When clicking such a link, you are leaving our site. Bon Information Technology Systems has no control over, does not endorse, and is not liable for the quality, operation, reliability, compliance with laws, ethics, business practices or content of such third-party websites, or for any product or service advertised or provided there. Any transactions with such third parties, including the provision of your personal information, are strictly at your own risk. We expressly disclaim all liability arising from your access to, and the content contained within, any such third-party website.

Access outside the United States

If you are accessing this site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk, and you remain fully responsible and liable for familiarity and compliance with these terms, with the laws, regulations, directives, codes and rules of the United States including its export compliance laws, with those of the jurisdiction from which you are accessing the site, and with any other applicable jurisdiction involved in the access, transmission, routing, receipt, disclosure, storage or use of information on this site, or in any commercial transaction conducted on or through it.

Privacy

The use of the personal information you give us during your visit to our site is governed by the Bon Information Technology Systems privacy statement, which is posted on this site and incorporated into these terms.

Limitation of liability and indemnification

You agree that Bon Information Technology Systems and its affiliates and divisions, customers, partners, and their respective employees, officers, directors, contractors, vendors, suppliers, licensors, assignees, successors, insurers and agents are not liable in any respect for any damages — including any special, indirect, economic, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages — or loss of any nature which may occur as a result of your access to and use of this site.
