4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on the Site—including but not limited to product images, logos, brand names (“Carhautt”), text (e.g., product descriptions, blog posts), graphics, and software—is the exclusive property of Carhautt or its licensors, protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not:

  • Copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute Site content without prior written permission from Carhautt.
  • Use Carhautt’s trademarks, logos, or brand names (e.g., “Carhautt”) in any way that could confuse customers or imply endorsement by Carhautt (e.g., in a third-party website, product, or advertisement).
  • Claim ownership of any Site content or use it for commercial purposes (e.g., selling printed versions of product images) without approval.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC)

  • Use, reproduce, modify, and display the UGC on the Site, in marketing materials (e.g., email campaigns, social media), and other Carhautt platforms.
  • Attribute the UGC to you (e.g., using your first name or username) unless you request otherwise.

By submitting UGC, you confirm that:

  • You own the UGC or have the right to share it (e.g., no third-party copyright or privacy rights are violated).
  • The UGC is not harmful, offensive, or illegal (consistent with Section 2.2 Prohibited Use).
  • You will indemnify Carhautt against any claims, damages, or losses arising from your UGC (e.g., a third party alleging copyright infringement).

Carhautt reserves the right to review, edit, or remove UGC at any time, with or without notice, if it violates these Terms or is deemed inappropriate.

6. Site Content Accuracy and Availability

6.1 Content Accuracy

Carhautt strives to ensure Site content (e.g., product descriptions, pricing, stock levels) is accurate and up-to-date, but we do not guarantee its completeness or error-free nature. For example:

  • Product colors may vary slightly due to screen resolution differences.
  • Stock levels may change quickly, and an item listed as “in stock” may become unavailable after you place an order (see our Terms of Purchase for how we handle out-of-stock items).
  • Pricing or typographical errors may occur; we will correct such errors and notify you as outlined in our Terms of Purchase.

Carhautt is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from reliance on inaccurate Site content.

6.2 Site Availability

We aim to make the Site available 24/7, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Site may be unavailable due to:

  • Scheduled maintenance (we will post notices on the Site or via email when possible).
  • Unexpected technical issues (e.g., server outages, software glitches).
  • Circumstances beyond our control (e.g., internet service provider disruptions, natural disasters).

Carhautt is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from temporary Site unavailability.

7. Links to Third-Party Sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., social media platforms like Instagram, payment processors like PayPal, or shipping carriers like UPS). These links are provided for your convenience only—Carhautt does not control or endorse third-party sites.

You access third-party sites at your own risk. Carhautt is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of third-party sites. We recommend reviewing the policies of any third-party site before using it.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Carhautt shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of the Site (e.g., lost profits, inconvenience, or damages from Site unavailability or inaccurate content).
  • Carhautt’s total liability to you for any claims related to the Site (e.g., breach of these Terms, negligence) shall not exceed $100 USD, or the amount you paid for products via the Site in the 12 months prior to the claim (whichever is higher).
  • This limitation does not apply to: (1) personal injury or property damage caused by Carhautt’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct; (2) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (3) any liability that cannot be excluded by law in your jurisdiction.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Carhautt, its employees, directors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms (e.g., prohibited use of the Site, providing false account information).
  • Your use of the Site (e.g., claims from third parties alleging your UGC infringes their rights).
  • Any activity associated with your account (e.g., unauthorized orders placed by someone using your password).

10. Changes to These Terms

Carhautt may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in laws, technology, or Site operations. When we make changes:

  • We will post the revised Terms on the Site with a new “Last Updated” date.
  • We will notify registered users via email (to the address linked to your account) of significant changes (e.g., updates to prohibited use, intellectual property rights) at least 7 days before the revised Terms take effect.

Your continued access to or use of the Site after the revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We recommend reviewing these Terms regularly to stay informed of updates.
