Privacy Policy

 

Gaumard Scientific Company, Inc. (“Gaumard”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) are providing this privacy policy (this “Policy”) to inform you about our collection, use, disclosure, and storage of personal data about you that we collect via our websites, telephone, facsimile, or otherwise.

DATA WE COLLECT

We collect personal data from you when you fill out any registrations and web forms, create an account or place an order with us for products or services, and otherwise when you communicate with us by telephone, email, postal mail, or facsimile. Your submission of personal data is voluntary, but we may be unable to provide you with the requested information, products, and services if you choose not to provide the necessary personal data. In some cases, we may also collect certain personal data about you from third parties such as our worldwide distributors.

We also collect non-personal data when you visit or use our websites and products or services. This non-personal data may include information about your device and usage such as your operating system, browser, geographical location, IP address, and page views and clicks.

USE OF YOUR DATA

We use your personal data:

  • for the purposes for which you provided it to us (e.g., to create your user account, process your orders, register you for programs and events, or respond to your inquiries and communications);
  • to fulfill our obligations under our customer contracts (e.g., to process payments, arrange shipment, or provide support pursuant to our relevant agreements);
  • for our other legitimate business purposes (e.g., to improve, maintain, and operate our websites and our products and services, maintain reasonable business records, carry out anti-fraud and other compliance programs, and resolve disputes);
  • for other purposes with your consent (e.g., to inform you about products and services in which you may be interested if you have consented to such communications);
  • and to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements, including responding to lawful requests for information by governmental authorities.

You can opt out of receiving promotional or marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any such emails. You may also revoke your consent to the use of your data for certain other purposes by contacting us as set forth at the end of this Policy.

COOKIES

We use “cookies” to obtain certain types of non-personal data when your web browser accesses our website. A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous and unique identifier. When you visit a website that uses cookies, the corresponding web server asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You can disable cookies by changing your browser settings, but this may disable certain functionality on websites that use cookies. Our services and sites currently do not recognize “do not track” signals that may be sent by certain browsers.

For more information on the cookies that may be placed (subject to your browser settings allowing cookies) when you visit our website at store.gaumard.com, please visit our Cookie Notice page.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR DATA

We do not sell your personal data to any third parties. We may share your personal data as needed to fulfill the purposes described in the “USE OF YOUR DATA” section above, including:

  • with our vendors and service providers (such as payment processors and shipping providers) to provide goods and services you have requested;
  • to the relevant successor entity in connection with a sale of the relevant business or another similar corporate transaction;
  • and as necessary to comply with orders from law enforcement and other governmental authorities.

DATA RETENTION, ACCESS, AND CORRECTION

Gaumard may retain your data so long as we can reasonably foresee the data may be required in connection with our business relationship with you. In some cases, we will retain the data for a longer period as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, follow records retention policies, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

You may access and correct your personal data that we process, except where the burden of providing you such access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the rights of other persons would be violated. You may also request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. To request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data, please contact us as set forth at the end of this Policy. These access rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than yourself. If you would like to request access to, correct, amend, or delete your personal data, you can submit a written request to the contact information provided below. To protect your privacy, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your personal data. If we deny your request, we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons for our determination. We may charge a reasonable administrative fee in connection with such requests in cases where we believe your requests to be unreasonable or excessive. In cases where we are not the data controller (such as when the personal data was collected from or on behalf of an air travel provider or other customer), we may need to refer you or your request to the applicable data controller.

UNITED STATES

Gaumard is based in the United States, and personal data collected by Gaumard or its distributors worldwide may be transferred to Gaumard in the United States for processing. We are typically the data controller, as that term is used in applicable privacy laws, for any personal data that we collect from you. However, when we collect data from or on behalf of a third party (e.g., our distributors), those parties may be the data collector for such data, and we may be the data processor. If we are acting as the data processor, we will only process the relevant data in accordance with the applicable contract.

SECURITY

Gaumard is very concerned with safeguarding your personal data. The integrity and availability of your personal data are critical to the provision of superior products and services to you. To this end, we employ reasonable administrative, physical, procedural, and technological measures designed to protect your data from unauthorized access or alteration and loss or misuse.

THIRD PARTY SITES

Our sites and services may include hyperlinks to third-party sites and services. If you visit or use such third party sites and services, please be mindful that the relevant third party (and not Gaumard) controls the cookies and other technologies it uses on its sites and how it collects, uses, and shares personal data from you. This Policy only governs our own privacy practices; please review the applicable third party privacy policy when visiting or using any third party sites or services.

CHILDREN

Gaumard’s website is not directed toward children under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal data without their consent, please contact us as set forth at the end of this Policy and we will take reasonable steps to remove such data from our systems.

PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

Gaumard reserves the right to revise this Policy from time to time. If we make a material change to this policy, we will post the updated version of this Policy (including the date the changes went into effect) on the Gaumard homepage and other places we may deem appropriate, so that you are aware of what data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

 Sales Terms and Conditions

GAUMARD SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

These Gaumard Scientific Company, Inc. (“Gaumard”) Sales Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the sale or use of Gaumard equipment (“Equipment”), Software (“Software” as defined in paragraph 13), and supplies (“Supplies”), collectively referred to as “Product” or “Products” between Gaumard and the entity named on the applicable Gaumard Purchase Order (“Customer”) (collectively, “Party” or “Parties”). The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows.

 

  • Agreement.  Customer agrees to purchase from Gaumard the Products set forth in quotes and purchase orders accepted by both Customer and Gaumard from time-to-time. These Terms, along with any Exhibits, any applicable Gaumard Purchase Order documents, Gaumard Warranty documents, Gaumard Cares Service Plan documents, and any other purchasing or service documents executed by the Parties constitute the complete and entire agreement between Gaumard and Customer (collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”). This Agreement will supersede all other quotations, agreements, understandings, warranties, and representations (whether written or oral) between the Parties with respect to the subject matter set forth in the Agreement. Any Customer documentation (including Customer’s purchase order terms and conditions) that conflicts with or attempts to modify the Agreement in any way is hereby rejected and of no effect unless specifically agreed to in writing and signed by the Parties. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived, amended, modified, superseded, canceled, terminated, renewed, or extended except in a written document signed by both Parties or signed by the Party against whom the modification is sought to be enforced. This agreement can be terminated by Gaumard without cause by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer.

 

  • Prices.  Prices, fees, and charges for Products and services (including maintenance, installation, and training as described in the applicable Gaumard Purchase Order documents, Gaumard Warranty documents, Gaumard Cares Service Plan documents) (“Service” or “Services”) are payable in United States (U.S.) Dollars only, and do not include any applicable taxes or shipping charges. If Customer claims any tax exemption, it must furnish a valid tax exemption certificate before shipment of Products. Unless such certificate is furnished, Customer agrees to pay at its sole expense all applicable taxes, assessments, fees, penalties, import duties, and merchandise processing fees that may be levied or assessed upon Customer or Gaumard with respect to this Agreement, the Products, or any interest thereon. Gaumard reserves the right to increase prices on thirty (30) days written notice to Customer.

 

  • Payment.  Customer shall pay all invoiced amounts within twenty (20) days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed upon by Gaumard in writing. Gaumard may require some or all of the purchase price to be paid in advance by Customer, unless Gaumard grants credit approval as determined in Gaumard’s sole discretion on a case by case basis (taking into account factors such as credit rating, payment history, and size of order). A late charge will be due on any unpaid balance at a rate of 1.0% per month or the maximum rate otherwise permitted by law, whichever is lower. Gaumard may charge interest at the maximum rate permitted by law on all amounts not paid by the invoice due date. Gaumard retains a purchase money security interest in all Products sold to Customer to secure payment of the total purchase price thereof. Customer hereby grants Gaumard the right to file a copy of this Agreement with any appropriate authorities to evidence this security interest. Customer agrees to execute and deliver such other documents as Gaumard may request in connection therewith. Gaumard shall not be obligated to deliver any Product or perform any Service during any period when Customer payment is past due. Customer will be responsible for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Gaumard to collect overdue payments and/or to take possession or otherwise dispose of Products for which payment is overdue.

 

  • Product Shipment and Risk of Loss.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Gaumard, all Products will be shipped F.O.B. Origin, regardless of any provisions for payments of freight, insurance, the form of shipping documents, or selection of carrier by Gaumard. F.O.B. Origin means title to the Products passes to the Customer at the shipping dock of Gaumard or Gaumard’s supplier or authorized agent. Customer is responsible for shipping charges and for the cost of insurance paid to cover any losses from Gaumard’s shipment point to Customer’s receipt. Gaumard will assist Customer in processing any loss claims. Gaumard shall use reasonable efforts to meet the specified delivery dates. If Gaumard fails to make delivery within a reasonable time for reasons other than Customer’s fault or circumstances beyond Gaumard’s reasonable control, then Customer’s only remedy is the right to terminate the applicable Purchase Order, whereupon Gaumard will refund any prepayments received from Customer relating to such Purchase Order.

  

  • Installation and Acceptance.  Product orders are subject to 1) written acceptance by Gaumard, 2) receipt of specified deposits, as applicable and 3) continuing credit approval. If applicable, Gaumard will install Equipment at an agreed upon location ("Installation"). Installation shall be complete upon Gaumard's demonstration that the Equipment meets Gaumard's then-current operating specifications ("Installation"). Installation is subject to Customer cooperating in preparing and maintaining the site in compliance with Gaumard specifications, including but not limited to, applicable electrical and other connection regulations and all environmental conditions. If Customer fails to accept shipment of Products other than for breach of warranty, Customer shall immediately pay the full purchase price as if shipment and Installation had occurred. If Customer fails to accept Products and if Gaumard decides to store ordered Products, Customer shall be responsible for Gaumard's reasonable insurance, handling, and storage charges. If Gaumard elects not to store ordered Products, Gaumard may arrange shipment and storage in a bonded warehouse at Customer's sole risk and expense.

 

  • Delay of Performance.  The Parties’ obligations under this Agreement are subject to force majeure, including but not limited to, civil insurrection, terrorism, fire, flood, labor disputes, shortages, delays of suppliers or contractors, or government priority systems, actions taken or threatened by any governmental agencies, acts of God or other contingencies or acts not within the sole control of the Parties. Gaumard reserves the right during any shortage period to (a) make Supplies available to Customer (as it sees fit) without any liability to Customer, and (b) to make substitutions and modifications in the specification of any Products, provided such substitutions or modifications do not materially affect the performance of Products.

 

  • WARRANTIES.  Gaumard warrants that if a Product proves to be defective in material or workmanship within one year from the date on which title to the Product passes to the Customer (“Warranty Period”), Gaumard will, at Gaumard's option, repair or replace the Gaumard product. This limited warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship in the Gaumard product, except: (a) Damage resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, or unintended use of the Gaumard product; (b) Damage resulting from failure to properly maintain the Gaumard product in accordance with Gaumard product instructions, including failure to properly clean the Gaumard product; and (c) Damage resulting from a repair or attempted repair of the Gaumard product by anyone other than Gaumard or a Gaumard representative. Replacement parts are warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period or ninety (90) days from shipment, whichever is longer. Services are warranted to be supplied in a workman-like manner. Gaumard does not warrant that use of the Products will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the Products will operate with non-Gaumard authorized third-party products. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SUCH LIMITED WARRANTY IS GIVEN SOLELY TO THE ORIGINAL CUSTOMER AND IS NOT GIVEN TO ANY THIRD PARTY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUBSEQUENT PURCHASERS OR USERS OF THE PRODUCTS OR CUSTOMERS OF THE CUSTOMER. THIS WARRANTY IS VOID UPON TRANSFER OF PRODUCT BY CUSTOMER TO ANY OTHER ENTITY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER. These warranties do not apply to any Products that are supplied on a pre-release or “as-is” basis.

 

  • Warranty Claims and Remedies.  In the event of any warranty claim, Gaumard will replace with new or repaired items any Product part or component that is in breach of the above limited warranties. Alternatively, Gaumard may elect to repay or credit to Customer an amount equal to the purchase price of the defective Product. Items replaced shall become Gaumard property. All claims shall be initiated by contacting Gaumard within the applicable Warranty Period and within thirty (30) days after discovery of the non-conformity. If Customer has failed to notify Gaumard within the Warranty Period, then Customer shall be barred from instituting any action thereafter. Customer shall not return the Product to Gaumard without prior authorization from Gaumard. If the necessary repairs to the Product are covered by this limited warranty, then Customer will pay only the incidental expenses associated with the repair, including any shipping, handling, and related costs for sending the product to Gaumard and for sending the product back to the first purchaser. However, if the repairs are not covered by this limited warranty, then Customer will be liable for all repair costs in addition to costs of shipping and handling. Upon request, Gaumard must be given access to and an opportunity to inspect the Product and any working areas and storage areas. These remedies shall comprise Gaumard’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for breach of warranty and are in lieu of any other remedies at law or equity.

 

  • LIMIT OF LIABILITY.  GAUMARD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING FROM THE SALE, HANDLING, SERVICE, OR USE OF PRODUCT OR SERVICES ORDERED OR FURNISHED, OR FROM ANY CAUSE RELATING THERETO. EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM GAUMARD’S NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONALLY WRONGFUL ACTS OR OMISSIONS, IN NO EVENT SHALL GAUMARD BE LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY OR FOR ANY CAUSE RELATED TO A PRODUCT OR SERVICE, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE PRICE, FEE, OR CHARGE RECEIVED BY GAUMARD FOR SUCH PRODUCT OR SERVICE.

 

  • Governmental Authorizations.  Customer is responsible for compliance and costs associated with all required licenses, permits, or other governmental authorizations, including but not limited to, any license or certification needed for Customer to use the Product, and any export or import license, exchange permit, or the like (“Licenses”), even if applied for by Gaumard on Customer’s behalf. If any authorization is delayed, denied, revoked, restricted, or not renewed, Gaumard shall not be liable, and Customer is not relieved of its obligations. Customer represents and agrees that it will handle all Product and technical data related to the Licenses so that it conforms to all applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including U.S. export licensing laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Customer shall not trans-ship, divert, re-export or otherwise dispose of any U.S. origin goods or technology obtained from Gaumard except as U.S. laws and regulations expressly permit.

 

  • Indemnity.  

 

Gaumard agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Customer, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from and against all loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) by reason of any claims or actions by third parties against Customer for (1) bodily injury or death, and damage, loss or destruction of any real or tangible personal property, which third party claims arise out of or relate to Gaumard’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) infringement or misappropriation by Gaumard of any intellectual property rights under this Agreement.

  • Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Gaumard, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from and against all loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) by reason of any claims or actions by third parties against Gaumard for (1) bodily injury or death or damage, loss or destruction of any real or tangible personal property, which third party claims arise out of or relate to Customer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (2) infringement or misappropriation by Customer of any intellectual property rights; or (3) Customer’s or its customer’s use of the Products or Services, including without limitation, defamation, libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, or violation of the rights of privacy or publicity, or spamming or any other tortious or illegal conduct.

The obligations of confidentiality set forth herein shall not apply to any information in the public domain at the time of disclosure.

  • State Reporting and Disclosure Laws.  Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, the cost of any Product training provided by Gaumard shall be included in the purchase price of the Product where applicable.

  • Waiver and Severability.  If either Party fails to perform obligations under this Agreement, such nonperformance shall not affect the other Party’s right to enforce performance at any time. Waiver of any remedy or material breach of any subject matter contained in this Agreement shall not be viewed as a waiver unless agreed to by the Parties in writing. Each provision of this Agreement is separate and independent of one another, and the unenforceability of any provision will not affect the enforceability of any other provision. If any provision is held to be excessively broad or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent possible by law.

 

  • Assignment.  Customer shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Gaumard, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and obligations herein will be binding upon the successors and assigns of Customer.
