Rights of Use and Access
When any Client uses the EM he is automatically bound by the TCs. The Client is only given a temporary right to use the site only in strict accordance with the TCs, and for his personal use only. This right may be withdrawn without notice by JJ, and no liability exists if the EM is unavailable at any time or for any period.

If the Client either specifies his own password, or any indentificaiton code, or is given such by JJ/EM, he must treat as confidential and not disclose it to anybody else.

Contributions and Uploading of Material to the Website
Any persons uploading information, or communicating in any whatsoever through the site, must comply with the standards and conditions set out in the Acceptable Use Policy section of this document.

Disclosure
JJ reserves the right to disclose the identity of a Client to anybody claiming that that Client has infringed intellectual property rights by uploading whatever material to the EM. JJ also reserves the right to remove any content from the EM that does not comply with the contents standards set out in the Acceptable Use Policy section of this document.

Reliance on Information Posted
Every effort is made to ensure that information posted on the site is accurate, but it is not possible to guarantee this. JJ will not take responsibility, legal or otherwise, for any information that transpires to be wrong or inaccurate, and liability for any loss, direct or consequential, will not be accepted by JJ. The TC are an exception to this clause.

Intellectual Property
JJ owns all rights to the EM. In particular, trademarks, logos, graphics, photographs, videos, text, images, or software used to operate the site, are the property of JJ.

Client's are not permitted, without written permission from JJ, to licence any parts of the site to someone else, modify, copy, sell or download or use any part of the site for his commercial purposes. The designs produced by the site may be sold for commercial gain without reference to JJ.

Data Protection
The EM collects and processes information about its Clients, particularly post Specification Acceptance. This information is collected via the Privacy Policy, which is available from a link in the footer of the Home page of the EM. By approving this document, Clients are agreeing to the collection of this data.

Cancellation and Returns Policy
Important note
The EM gives no assurance that an EM designed product will work in a client's application. The specification against which a product designed by the EM may be judged, is its EM Technical Specification. It is the clients' responsibility to confirm that the EM design will suffice for whatever their application.

One service and one product are available via the EM: design and manufacture of a prototype/s. These are treated separately below:

  • Design 
    • The EM takes no responsibility for orders with issues that have been designed by the EM but manufactured by a third party. The EM will be proactive if it deems there may be faults with the associated design, but no obligation whatsoever is accepted for such instances. No monetary refunds will be issued under this condition 
    • If the EM designed and supplied/manufactured a product with issues with regard to the EM Technical Specification, the EM will seek to rectify such as promptly as possible. If it is either not feasible or commercially impractical to correct the same, the EM will cancel the order and return monies paid to the client. Providing less than ten prototypes were ordered (limited by EM), the number of prototypes ordered by the client will be replaced by units with the design correction made for the original fee. The client has the option to cancel an order and have all monies paid returned under this circumstance of this clause.
    • If a design service only is ordered and issues exist between the performance stated in the EM Technical Specification, the EM will seek to correct these and issue updated design files to the client, providing it is practical and economic to do so. Both parties have the option to cancel an order under the circumstances of this clause, and monies originally paid will be returned by the EM.
  • Manufacture
    • a parts and manufacturing workmanship warranty exists for 6 months following delivery of manufatured prototypes. 
    • no warranty whatsoever exists for prototypes not manufactured under the EM's auspice.


Links to Other Websites
All third party sites and data are provided for the purpose of providing information only. No responsibility for the quality of third party content is accepted by JJ. Responsibility for loss, consequential or otherwise, is accepted by JJ for material from third party sites. 

JJ reserves the right to prevent or veto links being made to the EM by Clients should JJ consider said sites inappropriate.

Viruses, Hacking and Other Offences
The EM must not be used by the Client, either directly or indirectly, for any purpose that is illegal or morally reprehensible. Introducing viruses, trojans, or other material that is either malicious or technically harmful, is not permitted by JJ. Unauthorised access of any kind is not permitted. Any such actions may constitute an offence under the Computer Misuse Act, 1990. Detection of any such action by a Client may result in JJ making a report to the authorities.

Variation
These TCs may change over time without notification. It is the Client's responsibility to check them before each purchase. Clients are automatically bound by these regulations even if they have checked the box to approve them but not actually read the latest issue.

Disclaimer and Liability
With the exception of this document:

  • All information provided on the EM site is provided on an 'as is' basis. JJ accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or validity of such information.
  • JJ given no express warranty in respect of any use of the site and its content, with the exception of a parts and labour warranty for one year on manufactured parts. There is no warranty given for design.
  • JJ accepts no responsibility for any loss, direct or consequential, that a Client may incur as a result of using the EM.
  • Any reliance on the content of the material in the EM is taken solely at the Client's risk.
  • If an order is received for a product that transpires to be impractical to design or manufacture within the bounds of the funds received, the EM reserves the right to cancel such an order and the return monies paid to the client.
