Creation of a User Account is a necessary prerequisite for navigation on the E-shop and for the dispatch of any order, and/or for the overall conclusion of a purchase through the E-shop.

2.2. Accuracy of data submitted

Upon registration, the User enters the required data (and/or the optional data, should they so wish). Those data must be entirely correct, true, accurate and updated, and the User must keep such data correct, true, accurate and updated while keeping the Account. PHILIP MORRIS acquires access to the data of the User’s Account for E-shop purposes, and in general, for actions pertaining to the E-shop order placement and sale process. In the event of subsequent change of any of such data, the Customer must notify PHILIP MORRIS at contact.cy@iqos.com, or through the Website at the field “Support”, or at the telephone lines 800 088 03 within a reasonable period of time. In the event that the contractual or legal obligations of PHILIP MORRIS are not timely and duly fulfilled because of the use of untrue, erroneous or non-updated personal data stated by the Customer, PHILIP MORRIS shall not bear any liability. Moreover, the Customer bears full and exclusive liability for any loss or damage caused to PHILIP MORRIS due to untrue, erroneous or non-updated data stated by the Customer. It should be stressed that any notification sent (as part of the fulfilment of the obligations of PHILIP MORRIS arising from the sale) to the email address or another contact detail notified by the Customer while creating an account or while making their purchases at the E-shop, shall be deemed to be valid, even if it is not delivered to the Customer, due to an error in the data written by the Customer and/or technical or other failure of the Customer’s server, and/or telephone, and/or telecommunications provider, and/or due to change of the Customer’s data (provided that the Customer has not timely notified PHILIP MORRIS in this regard).

2.3. Special Term of Identification for the delivery of the Products upon sale

The sale of the Products is subject to the express condition of inspection of the Customer’s identity details during delivery of the Products, in order to verify that the Customer, who must also be the recipient of the Product, is not underage. If identification is not possible, or if there is any doubt, PHILIP MORRIS has the right to refuse to deliver the Products, to entirely cancel the sale by merely stating this at the delivery place of the recipient. It is expressly clarified that delivery to any person other than the one who submitted the order is not allowed (for reasons of safety and identification).

2.4. Protection of the codes of the Customer’s account

a) It is also necessary that the Customer creates a secret password, set by the Customer based on the safety rules of PHILIP MORRIS applicable each time regarding password creation. With such password, the Customer will acquire access to the whole content of the Website, to their account and to the E-shop, and they must always keep that password secret and safe. b) In particular, Users shall bear full and exclusive liability for protecting the secret password that they have created and use for entering their accounts. The Customer must completely avoid revealing the password to other persons, so that any unauthorised access and use will be prevented (especially, but not exclusively, to any minors). Also, each Customer must promptly notify PHILIP MORRIS if they have reasons to believe that
i) their secret password could or may have become known to a third party, or
ii) there is a risk that their password may be used without their licence.
iii) Customers shall bear full and exclusive liability for any action (act or omission) carried out through their account. PHILIP MORRIS disavows any liability for damages arising from the use of a Customer’s account on the grounds of unauthorised access or use of the Customer’s account, provided that the Customer has not previously duly notified PHILIP MORRIS at contact.cy@iqos.com, or through the Website at the field “Support”, or at telephone lines 800 088 03
Creation of a Customer’s account allows the Customer to log onto the Website by using the secret password set by the Customer at the stage of creation of an account. Each Customer may change the personal data stored in their profile at any time by entering the part of the Website called “Profile”.

2.5. Account Deletion – Termination of contract with PHILIP MORRIS

i) The User has the right to deactivate his/her account at any time, at will, by pressing the Deactivation button. It should be noted that if the Customer has deactivated his/her account at the E-shop, then his/her account as a whole will be deactivated, and his/her general navigation on the Website will be impossible (from the point where registration of a User is required) since the existence of both accounts is a necessary condition for the proper and lawful organisation and operation of the whole Website, as provided for in Article 2.1 and in the Data Protection Policy. Following deactivation, the data of his/her account are kept for six (6) months. Within such time period, the User may activate his/her account again. Otherwise, the data are deleted. If the User wishes his/her data to be deleted promptly, he/she must state so specifically by sending an email at contact.cy@iqos.com, or by calling at telephone lines 800 088 03
In any case, it is clarified that the deactivation or deletion of the account does not entail deletion of the User from the contact list of PHILIP MORRIS.
a) These Terms of Use are of an unlimited term, and they may be terminated at any time by any party (PHILIP MORRIS or Customer).
b) PHILIP MORRIS may terminate these Terms at any time and without cause by sending a relevant email to the email address stated by the User and setting a reasonable deadline, after expiration of which the Customer’s account will be deleted.
c) PHILIP MORRIS may also delete the account of a User and/or deny access to the Website, for any reason. It is particularly entitled to take the foregoing actions on any serious ground, including, but not limited to the case where there is evidence of bad faith, illegal, or anti-contractual navigation and/or use of the Website (detected by it, or following a complaint by any third party).
In cases b) and c), the User’s data are kept for the purpose of ensuring that the same User will not register again on the Website.
It should be noted that the deletion of the account for any reason inactivates access both to the broadened content of the Website and to the E-shop, since, as it has already been mentioned, the account is necessary for further navigating on the Website as a whole, and is a necessary precondition for entering it further.

a distinct, more specific sales agreement will be made,

3. Description of transactions – Terms and Stages of Conclusion of the Sale

3.1. Through the E-shop of, Products are available for sale to customers. The E-shop is exclusively addressed to consumers(B2C).

It is clarified that for remote contracts, consumer

natural person

Special term on the sale: In order for any Customer to make a purchase from the E-shop, they must cumulatively meet the requirements set forth in Article 1.1. above. Users who have not completed 18 years of age are expressly prohibited from carrying out any action on the Website and the E-shop. Upon placing an order, the Customer guarantees that all the details provided to PHILIP MORRIS are true and accurate. PHILIP MORRIS reserves its right to execute its contractual obligations from the purchase agreement vis-à-vis the Customer, in the event that the stated data that need to be identified upon delivery of the Product are not verified (identity and adulthood).

3.2. PHILIP MORRIS, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to select the Products it will make available for sale in its E-shop, and to amend, renew, and/or withdraw them at any time, without incurring any liability, and without any prior notification to the Customers. The same applies to product prices, any offers and discounts that may be offered by it at its absolute discretion, which may be modified without penalty, without any prior notification to the Customer, based on the commercial policy it forms freely and at its discretion.

3.3. The Customer bears the responsibility for selecting Product(s) and placing a correct order thereof through the E-shop. It is expressly highlighted that this Website is not a proposal for a contract towards the Customer,
but an invitation for submission of a proposal by the latter. The contract is concluded/entered into only if the Customer receives his/her order acceptance email, pursuant to Article 3.4. b) below.
The stages of the procedure from the submission of the order by the Customer until the conclusion of the sales agreement between the Customer and PHILIP MORRIS are the following:
a) Provided that he/she has already created an account, as provided for in Article 2 above, each Customer can navigate on the E-shop and select the Product in which he/she is interested out of the products appearing for sale. Then, he/she may add it to his/her shopping cart by pressing the relevant button, “Add to shopping cart”. Customers can, at any time, find details with regard to the content of their shopping cart (i.e. Products selected for purchase by the Customer at previous stages) and be informed about the cost thereof, as well as about the cost of dispatch (temporary data). Customers are also allowed to modify the contents of their shopping cart by deleting part or all of the contents, or by changing the quantities selected.
b) Customers can review the personal details (personal data and invoicing address) they had submitted while creating their Account. Customers may enter different data while making their purchases (e.g. delivery or invoicing address). However, THEY MAY NOT CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY DETAILS (full name and date of birth), since the process of verifying their age through written identification upon delivery of the Product is a necessary condition for delivery of the Products, as specified in these Terms and Conditions. Moreover, for the same reasons,
they may not send the Products to a person other than the one who has created the Account.

c) Then, Customers will be informed about how the Product will be sent, and about the time limit for delivery of the Products (depending on the place of delivery thereof). Customers can also submit any comment they wish to PHILIP MORRIS.
d) Then, Customers see an overall review of their order, based on all the data entered, under a-c) above, and, if they wish to submit the order, they will press the button “Order Completion”. In order for the order to be dispatched, the Customer must first read carefully and accept the Terms and Conditions, as set forth in Article 1.3 above.

The Customer, thus, submits a proposal to PHILIP MORRIS for the conclusion of a contract of sale of the Products he/she has selected.

3.4. a) As soon as the Customer’s order placement procedure is concluded, PHILIP MORRIS will send the Customer an automated email for order confirmation. The order confirmation or the notification about any problem may be carried out by telephone or by SMS. Until the Customer receives the order confirmation message and/or the relevant telephone call, he/she may make any correction to the order by calling at the telephone number 800 088 03. By the message above, PHILIP MORRIS accepts the agreement proposal submitted by the Customer, and thus, the agreement between the Customer and PHILIP MORRIS is concluded only when PHILIP MORRIS sends the message by which it confirms that it accepts the Customer’s offer.
b)

In any case, it is agreed that the time limits set forth in these terms commence as of the date when the above order confirmation email (Article 3.4 a) is sent, regardless of when the Customer will actually read the email.

3.5. Then, the Customer will be notified by email when the Product is given for delivery to the courier company, which will also include the necessary details in order for the Customer to be able to check the progress of delivery of his/her order.

3.6. Should any problem occur with regard to the order or the delivery times as set forth above, the Customer will receive relevant information by email or by telephone.

3.7. For the order to be concluded (E-shop), Customers, by accepting these terms, will consent to PHILIP MORRIS processing their personal data, in order to receive the foregoing communication by PHILIP MORRIS about their order and the development thereof. PHILIP MORRIS shall not be liable in the event that the Customer receives deficient information about the development of the order, due to an error or due to non-accuracy of the contact details that the Customer had stated to the Company.

3.8 From time to time, if such an option is available, you may pre-order Products which will be delivered after their official placement on the market. When available for sale on the e-shop, those Products bear a special label, and are accompanied by information about the cost and the estimated time of delivery thereof. In pre-orders payment is possible only by credit card and PayPal account (if it is available) via the e-shop (not by cash on receipt). With regard to all other aspects, the pre-ordering procedure is completed and carried out exactly in the same manner as any other order placement and purchase from the e-shop (unless any particular condition is applicable, as appropriate).

4. Product Prices

4.1. The product prices indicated on the E-shop are in Euros, they include the value-added tax (VAT), and they are total. This means that the Customer will not bear any additional cost for payment on receipt, and for the dispatch of the Products. PHILIP MORRIS may at its sole discretion enforce maximum limits without notice to the Customer. The maximum limits can change, and in any case, the limit presented as the maximum limit of purchase for each product code on the Website at the time of the order shall apply. PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to change its commercial policy regarding the cost of delivery and the payment methods, at any time, without penalty and without warning, notifying the Customer, of course.

4.2. PHILIP MORRIS, in general, reserves the right, which is accepted by the Customer, to freely set the prices of the Products, to modify, and change and/or withdraw offers at any time, without prior notice to the Customer, who will be informed of the current price each time by the relevant post on the E-shop (and such price will, of course, apply to future purchases). Even though PHILIP MORRIS maintains due diligence to make sure that all the details, descriptions and prices appearing on this Website are accurate, errors may occur.

5. Payment arrangements

For purchasing Products through the E-shop, the anticipated payment method is by credit card when that option becomes available on the Website. In any case, PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to change the payment arrangement method and to add or amend the processes, without prior notice to Customers, who will be informed about the payment methods each time in force, from the relevant post on such methods on the E-shop, before the conclusion of each agreement
In the event of payment of the price by credit card, this may be carried out with the cards that are acceptable by the E-shop. If the Customer selects credit card as method of payment, the process will be carried out and concluded through an acknowledged bank institution, offering, as stated by it, all the required safety guarantees for electronic payments. The collection and processing of the payment data submitted by the Customer is carried out only by the cooperating financial organisation which is exclusively responsible for processing thereof for the conclusion of the payment. For any problem that may arise during payment by credit card, the payment service provider will be responsible. PHILIP MORRIS does not store and does not process the data of the Customers’ cards. PHILIP MORRIS may also reject the Customer’s order or rescind the sale at any time if it is established or speculated that there is any problem in relation to the data of the card. The Customer shall bear the full and exclusive liability for properly entering and completing the data of their card in the payment system.

6. Delivery arrangements

6.1. The Products purchased by the Customer through the E-shop will be delivered by a courier company, regardless of the total weight or volume of the Products purchased. PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to change its product delivery policy at any time, notifying the Customer before the conclusion of each agreement, and only for future agreements.

6.2.Products can only be delivered within Cyprus, in the areas controlled by the Republic, as delivery of Products abroad or in the areas not under the effective control of the Republic is not possible.

6.3. The customer does not pay for the cost of delivery. PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to modify the arrangements and terms of delivery of the Products, even with the addition of delivery charges, by notifying the Customer prior to the conclusion of the contract and only for future contracts.

6.4. After the product is delivered to the courier company by Cassandra, the dispatch of the product will be scheduled, and the Product will be sent within the time period set by the courier company, depending on the delivery address. It should be noted that the date of delivery of the Products may change. In this case, PHILIP MORRIS shall make reasonable effort to communicate with the Customer, in order to give him/her relevant information.

6.5. PHILIP MORRIS shall not bear any liability in the event that the employee of the courier company appears within the above time limits, but does not manage to deliver the product, due to the absence of the Customer. In such a case, the courier company employee will leave a dispatch notice at the stated delivery address, and the Customer will be informed (by telephone and/or by email) by PHILIP MORRIS about the unconcluded execution of the order.

6.6. SPECIAL TERM ON THE SALE & DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS: In any case, the Customer must appear in person for the delivery of the Products, and have the proper identification documents, demonstrating the Customer’s identification is the same with the person that keeps an Account (as set forth in Article 2), as well as the Customer’s age. Otherwise, the courier company, acting as the agent of PHILIP MORRIS, can refuse to deliver the Product which will be returned to PHILIP MORRIS and the sales agreement will be automatically cancelled ex tunc, since the identification and age verification is a necessary condition for the delivery of the product, without the stipulation of which the sale would have never been concluded (legal transaction foundation).

6.7. Release of PHILIP MORRIS from its liability with regard to the delivery arrangements.
PHILIP MORRIS cannot guarantee the proper and timely delivery of the Products to the purchaser when the delivery is carried out by a courier company (in which case there may be some differentiation as to the delivery time).

6.8. If it is required that the delivery be carried out on or by or after a specific deadline, PHILIP MORRIS stresses to its customers that they must state this in the space where the Customer can write their comments on their order (Article 3.3 c above). However, PHILIP MORRIS shall not be bound to carry out the delivery within the above deadline and order confirmation is not evidence of acceptance of the request.

6.9. PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to make any amendment to the above delivery arrangements, at any time, without penalty, and without prior notice, notifying the Customer upon placement of the order (which will be valid for future agreements). It goes without saying that PHILIP MORRIS reserves the right to replace the courier company with which it cooperates, at any time.

7. Rescission (exclusively for natural persons with the capacity of consumer)

7.1. Legal right of rescission

a) Provided that the Customer is a natural person acting (only) as a consumer, he/she may rescind this agreement without providing any explanation, without prejudice to the conditions of Article 7.3 below, by stating this to PHILIP MORRIS within 14 days
- from the time when the customer finalizes the order and, therefore, has received the invoice, or
- in the case of an agreement pertaining to a series of products ordered by the consumer in a single order and are, however, to be delivered separately: from the time when the customer finalizes the order and, therefore, has received the invoice.
In order for Customers to exercise the right to rescission, they shall notify PHILIP MORRIS by any reasonable means about their decision to rescind this agreement within 14 days, including a clear statement of rescission (indicatively):
- letter by post or courier at 23 John Kennedy Avenue, P.O 1075, Nicosia
- by telephone to 800 088 03 - by email to contact.cy@iqos.com
- by completing the rescission template on this link

If the statement of rescission is sent by email, PHILIP MORRIS will forward to the Customer, a confirmation of receipt of the Customer’s rescission. However, according to the law, the consumer bears the obligation to prove the exercise of the right of rescission.
In order for the Customer to comply with the deadline for rescission, and in order for the exercise thereof to be legal, the Customer must notify PHILIP MORRIS, as above, within 14 days, and return the product within 14 days from notifying the supplier about the exercise of rescission, in its original packaging and in the same state as received.

7.2. Additional Right to Return of Products

PHILIP MORRIS, in addition to the above legal right to rescission, will accept the return of a product, provided that the Product is returned within 14 days from the time when the customer finalizes the order and, therefore, has received the invoice.
In any case, for the return to be accepted as above, it is enough that the date on which the invoice issued is within the 14-day deadline.

It should be noted that this term is a right additional to the legal right to rescission which is granted by PHILIP MORRIS to the Customer, at its own initiative, and, therefore, it may amend and/or revoke it at any time.

In addition, this term is a policy of PHILIP MORRIS that may be modified and/or revoked at any time and without notice to the Customer.

7.3. Customer’s obligations for the return of the Product, in the context of rescission or the additional right to return.

a) The Customer must visit an IQOS store, within the deadline set out above.
b) The Customer is liable for any decrease in the value of the Products that results from handling the products in a manner that was not necessary to specify the nature, the characteristics and the operation thereof. It should be noted that for the purpose of determining the nature, the characteristics and the operation of the Products purchased by the Customer, the latter must handle and examine them in exactly the same manner the Customer would be allowed to do so in a shop, and no more than that.
c) For a return to be accepted, the Product sent by the Customer to be delivered by PHILIP MORRIS must (cumulatively):

be in the condition in which it was when received

if its initial packaging has been opene.d, it must be intact, without any damage and tears, and it must be returned, along with the Product,

be full

bear with it all the documents that accompanied the product. In the event that the Product is not accompanied by its documents, PHILIP MORRIS will not be able to identify the product with a specific order.

d) A personalised product (e.g. identifying initials have been overtly inscribed, the IQOS base contains a different lid from the original lid of the packaging, etc.) may not be returned on the grounds of rescission or an additional right to return.

e) Also, HEETS is allowed to be returned

7.4. Consequences of rescission and/or the additional right of return – Money return

If the Customer rescinds this agreement on the basis of Article 7.1 or returns the Product based on the additional right to return under Article 8.2. (and provided that all the conditions set forth in Article 8.3. d are met), PHILIP MORRIS will return to the Customer all the money it received from them (subject to any value impairment), without undue delay.
In the event that the order concerned more Products and only part thereof is returned, or only part thereof meets the conditions set forth in Article 7.3. d), it goes without saying that the money returned will duly correspond to the part of the Products returned.
b) The Customer expressly agrees that PHILIP MORRIS will return the money by cash.

8. Products with actual defects or lack of agreed features

8.1. PHILIP MORRIS shall exert all reasonable efforts to deliver to the Customer the Product ordered by the Customer, which shall bear the agreed features and will be without any actual defects. However, in the unlikely event that the Customer receives a product with defects, or if any other problem arises (other than the case of undue rescission, see above Article 8 which applies, provided it concerns a consumer and is within the time limit indicated above), the Customer must promptly contact PHILIP MORRIS at the telephone number 800 088 03, or send an email at contact.cy@iqos.com, in order to settle this issue.

8.2. If it is indeed a defective product, or a product lacking the agreed features, and provided that the Customer notifies PHILIP MORRIS within the period stipulated by the guarantee and/or the law, then, in this case, PHILIP MORRIS will agree with the Customer on the manner in which it can be fixed or perhaps be replaced by another product, unless such an action is impossible or requires disproportional expenses. In any case of liability of PHILIP MORRIS for an actual defect or lack of an agreed feature, the Customer, in addition to the foregoing right, shall also have the right to ask for a reduction of the price, or to rescind the agreement, unless it is a minor actual defect.

9. Guarantees

9.1. The Products are covered by legal warranty, which is an obligation for PHILIP MORRIS.

9.2. Besides the legal warranty, PHILIP MORRIS has the right to offer a commercial guarantee, at its absolute discretion.

9.3. In any event, during the validity term of any guarantee, under the terms provided for by PHILIP MORRIS, the Customer must produce the receipt of purchase of the product.

9.4. It is clarified that the alternating current transformer, the USB stick, the IQOS cleaning tool, the IQOS cleaning sticks, and the IQOS covers are covered by a 1 year guarantee.

10. After-sale Customer support services

PHILIP MORRIS shall exert all possible efforts to fully satisfy the Customer. In the event that any problem arises with regard to the Products after the sale thereof, the Customer can call the telephone number 800 088 03, which operate between 09.00 - 21.00.

11. Limitation of Liability of PHILIP MORRIS

11.1. The whole content of the Website is provided “as is”, without any requirements or other guarantees of its accuracy or suitability for the use or the purpose for which the products sold are intended. Thus, access to the Website exclusively lies with the responsibility of the guest. In addition to what is expressly mentioned in these terms, to the maximum extent allowed by the Law, PHILIP MORRIS shall not bear any obligations and guarantees which it has not expressly undertaken itself.

11.2. Liability from the Sale:

PHILIP MORRIS bears the responsibility of fulfilling the sale, and as specified in this agreement and the law on remote contracts and consumer’s protection. It is not liable for any direct, indirect, special, accidental, consequential damages of the purchaser, or for any loss of profit, or for damage to the fame, the clientèle, or the reputation of the purchaser, or for the cost of provision of substitute products and services, which arise from or relate to the sales agreements made in this E-shop, or from the use, failure of use, or operation, or infelicities of this Website. It is also not liable in the case the Customer is entitled to the return of part or all of the price for any delay on the part of the cooperating payment service providers for the execution of the relevant order timely given by PHILIP MORRIS.

11.3. PHILIP MORRIS shall not bear any liability for any loss or damage that may be caused by an attack involving denial of service, viruses, or other technologically harmful material which may contaminate your material, software, data or other property material, due to using this Website or downloading any material posted on this Website or on any Website associated with it.

11.4. PHILIP MORRIS and its associates exert their best efforts, in the context of technological inspections regularly carried out by them, so that the services, the content and the transactions are executed smoothly, and without any interruption, and that the highest standard of security is maintained. However, it shall not be liable in the case that, for any reason, including the case of negligence, the operation of the E-shop is suspended, or access to it becomes difficult and/or impossible, and/or if, despite the safety measures implemented, viruses or any other harmful software are detected and transferred to the terminals of users/guests, or if unauthorised third parties interfere in any manner with the content and the operation of the E-shop, rendering use thereof difficult, or causing problems to the proper operation thereof, or intercept details concerning the users’ personal data. Moreover, it shall not be liable in the case of suspension of access to the E-shop for reasons beyond our control, as well as for reasons due to a technical or other weakness of the network, or to reasons of force majeure, or to unforeseeable circumstances.

11.5. PHILIP MORRIS exerts due diligence so that the photographs of the Products appearing on the E-shop, as well as any videos posted on the E-shop, depict the actual state of the Products, to the extent possible. However, in any case, the Customer accepts that the Products appearing on the photographs and the videos may deviate from the actual state, form, size, colour, and overall image of the Products sold by the E-shop. PHILIP MORRIS shall not bear any liability in the event of any deviation of the photographic depiction of the product or the depiction thereof in a video from its actual image. PHILIP MORRIS does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any information or content regarding any products, software, or advertisements included in the E-shop, as well as of the content of third parties to which the Customer is referred through hyperlinks from the E-shop, or to which the E-shop provides access.

11.6. Liability for any other damage (beyond sale): In any case, for any other damage sustained by the Customer as a result of using or navigating on the E-shop, PHILIP MORRIS disavows any liability for any consequential, possible and indirect damages, or for escaped profit, including profits not made, loss of data, suspension of activity, damage to fame or reputation, or for the cost of purchase of substitute products, or any other damage, of whatever nature, that could arise from the use of its Websites and/or the Applications, or the content thereof, or from the inability to use the Websites/Applications, the inability to participate in any tendering procedure or offer, and/or the inability to purchase or send any item or product relating to its Websites and Applications, regardless of whether such damages could have been foreseen, or whether they arise in the framework of the contract, the conduct of the purchase, out of the products appearing on the E-shop, due to tort or by negligence, based on the applicable laws, or in another manner. In any case, however, and provided that any damage is due to the proven fault of PHILIP MORRIS, the latter shall bear liability only for the coverage of any actual damage caused to the damaged party that demonstrably originates from and relates directly to the event giving rise to the damage, and the wrongful act or omission. In the event of negligence, any damage shall be limited to the amount of EUR one thousand (€1,000). Thus, all the liability limitations contained in these Terms of Use, which are acknowledged and accepted by the Website Customer in their entirety as being valid and consistent with good faith and transactional practices, apply.

11.7. The Customer uses the E-shop and acquires access to the content posted on it, on his/her own initiative and at his/her own exclusive responsibility, having full knowledge of the fact that the Website contains tobacco products. The Customer agrees to compensate, defend and release PHILIP MORRIS, the companies of the Philip Morris International Group, the managers, officers, employees, consultants, representatives and associates thereof of any and all claims of third parties, liability, damages and/or costs arising as a result or on the occasion of any wrongful illegal or anti-contractual use of the Website by the User, or as a result of the wrongful breach on the User’s part of any of the Terms of Use. In any case, the User must promptly notify PHILIP MORRIS at contact.cy@iqos.com if the User has become aware or has reasonable suspicion or indications that the Website has been used in an illegal or anti-contractual manner by the User (even due to the User’s negligence) or by any other person, so that PHILIP MORRIS will be able to take the necessary measures for the purpose of limiting any damage.

12. Access permission, access and use of the E-shop

12.1. The E-shop is addressed to Customers that have acquired a User Account and cumulatively meet the requirements of Article 1.1. above. The Customer is granted a non-exclusive permission of access and personal use of the E-shop, for the purposes specifically detailed in these Terms and Conditions. This permission shall by no means entail permission to take up or amend the E-shop or any part thereof, which can only be allowed with the written permission of PHILIP MORRIS. Such access permission granted to the Customer does not allow any resale or commercial use, reproduction, creation of copies, copying, transmission, announcement, placement on the market, amendment, or assignment of permission, or any other manner of exploitation of the E-shop or its content, any collection and use of any lists, descriptions or photographs of products, any derivative use of the E-shop or its content, any receipt or copying of account details for the benefit of a trader, or any use of data extraction tools, robots, or similar data collection and extraction tools.

Moreover, all the trade names appearing on the E-shop are duly subject to legal protection.

12.2. Use of the E-shop is allowed only provided that the Customer acts in a fair and lawful manner and abstains from any action that causes harm to the reputation of PHILIP MORRIS, or any company of the Phillip Morris Group or from any unlawful exploitation thereof. The Customer is also prohibited from creating any connection that insinuates any kind of relationship of the Customer or a third party with PHILIP MORRIS, or approval or support by PHILIP MORRIS where there is none. It is not allowed that the E-shop be placed in a frame on any other website, and, in any case, the Customer is prohibited from creating any link to any part of this Website other than the homepage. PHILIP MORRIS reserves its right to remove the connection permission without justification, without penalty and without any prior notice to the Customer.

12.3. Customers are prohibited from using frames or frame techniques in order to frame any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or format) of the Website of PHILIP MORRIS and its associated companies, as well as the companies of the Philip Morris Group, without their written consent. Customers are not allowed to use any “meta-tags” or any other “hidden text”, based on trade names or trademarks of PHILIP MORRIS or its associated companies or companies of the Philip Morris Group, without their written consent.

TYPE	EXPLANATION/TYPICAL RETENTION CRITERIA
commercial activities (including communications) (if you use digital touchpoints and are contactable)	Most of the information in your profile is kept for the duration of our relationship with you; for example, while you continue to use digital touchpoints, or respond to our communications. However, some elements of your profile, such as records of how we interact with you, naturally go out of date after a period of time, so we delete them automatically after defined periods (typically 3 years) as appropriate for the purpose for which we collected them.
commercial activities (including communications) (if you are no longer in contact with us)	This scenario is the same as the above, but if we don’t have any contact with you for a long period (typically 2 years), we will stop sending you communications and delete your history of responses to them. This will happen, for example, if you never click through to an invitation to an event, log on to a digital touchpoint, or contact customer care, during that time. The reason is that in these circumstances, we assume you would prefer not to receive the communications.
commercial activities (including communications) (if you are not contactable)	If you have registered to receive marketing communications, but the information you give us to contact you doesn’t work, we will retain your details for a period of typically only 6 months to allow you to return and correct it.
commercial activities (including marketing communications) (incomplete registrations)	If you commence registering yourself in a database, but do not complete the process (for example, if you don’t complete the age verification process, or you don’t accept the touchpoint’s terms of use), we will retain your details for only 6 months to allow you to return and complete the process.
market research	If you are not registered with us for other purposes (e.g. communications, warranty, customer care), and we use publicly available information about you in order to understand the market or your preferences, we will retain the information about you for a short period in order to perform the particular item of market research.
purchases and warranty	If you purchase goods, we will retain details of this for so long as required to complete the sale, and to comply with any legal obligations (for example, for tax and accounting record-keeping purposes). If you also register for a warranty for a device, we will retain details of this for so long as relevant to the warranty.
customer care	If you contact customer care, we will make a record of the matter (including details of your enquiry and our response) and retain it while it remains relevant to our relationship, for example if you need us to replace a device under warranty, or if your recent enquiries are relevant. Temporary records (for example, an automated recording of a telephone call in which you ask us to direct you to a retail outlet) may be relevant only until more permanent records are made, and will be retained only temporarily.
system audit logs	System audit logs are retained typically for a period of only a few months.
business analytics	Business analytics data is typically collected automatically when you use our touchpoints and anonymised/aggregated shortly afterwards.
