Terms and Conditions

This site is controlled and operated by Artona. All material on this site, including, but not limited to images, illustrations, audio clips and video clips, is protected by copyrights which are owned and controlled by Artona or by other parties that have licensed their material to Artona (the “Copyrights”). Material from this Website may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted or distributed in any way. Modification of the materials or use of the materials for any other purpose is a violation of the copyrights and other proprietary rights. For purposes of this Terms of Use Agreement, the use of any such material on any other Website or networked computer environment is prohibited.

Artona is very respectful about the privacy concerns of the visitors to its sites on the Internet. Please see our Customer Privacy Statement at (Privacy Statement). This Website places a "cookie" in the browser files of an Artona user's computer. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifying information. Although the cookie could enable Artona to relate a user's use of an Artona site to information that the user has specifically and knowingly provided, Artona does not do so for any kid's sites. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address, telephone number) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people.

On sites specifically designed for children, Artona makes a special effort to encourage children to consult with their parents before furnishing data. However, Artona believes that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing online their name, address and other personal information without parental permission.

Artona, whether or not affiliated with sites which may be linked to this site, is not responsible for their content (the “Linked Sites”). The Linked Sites are for your convenience only and you access them at your own risk.

Artona does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the materials in Artona's Website in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability or otherwise. You (and not Artona) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. The material that you read in Artona's Website is provided solely for entertainment and promotional purposes. The information and opinions expressed in Bulletin Boards, Chat Rooms or other forums conducted on this site ("Forums") are not necessarily those of Artona or its affiliated or related entities or content providers and Artona makes no representations or warranties regarding that information or those opinions.

Any action you, any third party or Artona bring to enforce this agreement or, in connection with, any matters related to this site shall be brought only in the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and you expressly consent to the jurisdiction of said courts. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
