The General Conditions of Access and Use govern access to and use of the Needen Web made available to Internet users for the purpose of supplying information on Needen, its products and/or services.

The contents of the Web are addressed exclusively to persons aged over (14) years, so that, when registering in the Web to receive newsletters, the user must confirm being of that age. In that connection, Needen reserves the option of requesting the user, at any time, to produce documentation to accredit that age. In the event that Needen finds that the user is not of the age required or that the user does not attend to the requirement by Needen, or does not attend to it correctly, Needen will cancel that user’s registration. 

Access to and use of the Web by the user implies acceptance of these General Conditions of Access and Use. In consequence, we ask you to read these General Conditions of Access and Use carefully when you are intending to use the Web as they may be adapted and/or altered at any time. If you do not accept these General Conditions of Access and Use, please refrain from using the Web and its content.

Therefore, the user undertakes the following:

Needen makes its best efforts to keep the Web in good working condition, avoiding errors or, where necessary, repairing them, and keeping the Web contents duly updated.

Needen will not, in any circumstances, be liable in any of the following suppositions: 

• For any loss and/or damages that may arise, directly or indirectly, from access to or use of the information contained in the Web and, especially, information relating to third parties other than Needen, including, but not limited to, effects caused by the introduction of viruses and/or cyber attacks.

Blog

 

Web users can contribute their own comments to the Needen Blog, in accordance with the terms and conditions given in the General Conditions of Access and Use.

In every case the person identified as producing the comment will be responsible for it. In no case does any comment reflect the opinion of Needen.

Needen takes no responsibility for the possible errors, inaccuracies or irregularities that may be contained in the comments published, or for any loss and damages which may result from the comments inserted. 

The user contributing the comment grants rights to Needen for its reproduction on any form of support and for the use, distribution, public communication or any other type of activity concerned with such comments. 

The user also declares being the proprietor of rights over the comments, where appropriate, or guarantees having obtained the necessary rights and authorisations from the author for their use by Needen.

Needen accepts no liability for loss or damages that may be caused by the use, reproduction, distribution or public communication or any other type of activity concerned with contents which are protected by intellectual property rights belonging to third parties, without the user having duly obtained from their proprietors the necessary authorisation for the intended use.

 

Social networks

 

Needen has profiles in some social networks (such as, for example, Facebook and Instagram), for the purpose of providing information on its products and/or services.

Users who follow any of the profiles open for Needen in social networks must respect and comply with the terms and conditions of the social network in question. 

Needen can undertake the following actions:

• Accessing public information on the user’s profile.

• Sending individual messages through social network channels, when these are permitted. 

• Updating the state of the profile to be shown in the user profile. 

 

Needen reserves the right to undertake competitions, promotions and/or draws through its accounts in the social networks. 

 

Advertising 

 

Needen can include in the Web contents advertising and/or sponsored by third parties. The advertisers and sponsors will be solely responsible for ensuring that the material remitted for inclusion in the Web is in full compliance with the legislation that may be of application in each case. 

In consequence, Needen will not be liable for any error, inaccuracy and/or irregularity which may occur in the advertising or sponsored contents or for any non-compliance with current regulations. 

 

Policy in matters of links 

 

a) Links with the Web

 

Those third parties which have the intention of including in a website (“Linking Website”) a link which leads to the Web, or an insert with a link, must necessarily obtain written consent beforehand from Needen. 

In no case does the authorisation granted by Needen mean that it warrants, promotes, guarantees and/or recommends the content and/or services of the Linking Site or that it is responsible for its contents. 

The Linking Site must comply with current legislation and may not, ever, host contents, its own or of third parties, which are unlawful and/or harmful (violent, racist, derogatory, etc.) and/or are inappropriate or irrelevant in relation with the products and/or services of Needen.

In the event of non-compliance with any of the terms set out above, Needen will immediately proceed to withdraw the consent given to the Linking Site, which must then remove the link. 

 

b) Links with other websites

 

The Web can include various links which allow the user to access other websites (“Linked Sites”).

In no case does the existence of Linked Sites mean any recommendation, promotion, identification and/or agreement by Needen with the statements, contents and/or services provided through the Linked Sites. 

In consequence, Needen takes no responsibility for the content, conditions of use, privacy policies and other conditions of the Linked Sites, the user being solely responsible for checking them and accepting them each time they are accessed and used. 

 

Intellectual and industrial property

 

All intellectual property rights over designs, databases, underlying computer programmes (including the source codes), as well as the various elements integrated into the Web (texts, graphics, photographs, videos, sound recordings, colour combinations, etc.) (the “Contents”), their structure, selection and order, are the property of Needen or, as applicable, of their licensors. 

The distinctive signs included in the Web are the property of Needen or of their licensors. Also the domain names www.needen.pt and ntextil.com in which the Web is lodged are the property of Needen. 

Through these General Conditions of Access and Use, the user is expressly prohibited from the reproduction, transformation, distribution, public communication, availability, résumé and/or any other form of diffusion not expressly authorised, concerned with the Web, its Contents and/or the distinctive signs and domain names the property of Needen.

Unauthorised use of the Contents and any loss and damages which are caused in the intellectual and industrial property rights of Needen can give rise to the exercise of the actions legally open to it and to the liabilities which, as appropriate, may arise thereby. 

 

Personal data protection 

 

Aspects relating to the processing of personal data of Web users are regulated in the Privacy Policy.

 

Nullity

 

If any of the clauses of the General Conditions of Access and Use should be declared, totally or partially, null or ineffective, that nullity or ineffectiveness will only affect that clause or the part of it which is null or ineffective and all the rest will remain valid, the affected clause or part of it being understood as not there. 

To that end, the General Conditions of Access and Use will only cease to be valid exclusively with respect to the null or ineffective clause, and no other part or clause will be cancelled, invalidated, prejudiced or affected by that nullity or ineffectiveness.

 

Applicable law and jurisdiction

 

Access to and use of the Web will be governed and interpreted in accordance with Spanish legislation.

In the event that any conflict or disagreement should arise in the interpretation and/or application of the General Conditions of Access and Use, the competent courts will be those defined in the legal regulations applicable.
