Use of the documents on the Platforms
ZRC® created its Platforms in order to provide information about the company and its product for your personal use. Although considerable efforts have been made in order to ensure that the visual representations of ZRC® products posted on the Platforms are representative of the colour, design, style, etc. of the original products, slight variations, distortions, and/or differences from the original product may appear. This may result, for example, from technical problems such as the settings of your browser or your computer. Accordingly, ARC cannot be held liable for the apparent differences between the images of products represented on the Platforms and the original products. We strongly advise you to visit one of our Dealers prior to making an online purchase.
You may download an electronic copy or print a copy of the document provided to you via the ZRC® Platforms, exclusively for your personal use and for private, domestic, non-commercial purposes, provided that the property notices, in particular the intellectual property notices, such as copyrights© and trademarks™ are kept intact and are neither deleted nor modified. Unless indicated otherwise, you must consider that everything you see or read on the Platforms (such as ZRC® inventions or products, images, photos, including any person represented in the photos, illustrations, icons, texts, video clips, music, written documents, and other documents) (“ZRC® Documents”) belong to ZRC® and are protected by law, in particular by all laws protecting copyrights, designs, and trademarks, as well as by the provisions of international treaties and national laws around the world.
