LEGAL &
PRIVACY

You have been guided here in connection with your download or use of a digital touchpoint (the “touchpoint”) that is operated by a member of the Philip Morris International group of companies.

What is a “touchpoint”?  In these terms, we refer to any method by which you are in contact with us as a “touchpoint”. Some touchpoints are digital – for example, apps and websites.

Who are we?  We are a member of the Philip Morris International group of companies. We have identified ourselves to you, and given our contact details, in the touchpoint in connection with which you have been guided here.

How do you accept these terms?  If you use the touchpoint, you accept these terms of use (“Terms”). The first time you log on to the touchpoint, these terms are drawn to your attention. These are important provisions relating to your use of the touchpoint: you should read them before using the touchpoint as they are binding on you.

Limits of liability: By using the touchpoint, you accept certain limits of liability, which we explain throughout these Terms. In summary: you use the touchpoint at your own risk; we do not assume any liability, or make any warranties (express or implied) with respect to it or your use of it.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE TOUCHPOINT.

Further terms: If you wish to use certain sections of this touchpoint or take part in events or activities provided through it, that may be subject to other terms and notices. If this is the case, this will be brought to your attention and in some situations you may be required to read and confirm your acceptance of any such items before continuing.

Changes to these Terms: We may amend these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will notify you of such changes the first time you log on to the touchpoint following such changes. If you then continue to use the touchpoint, your use will mean you accept the updated Terms. The date at the top of this page shows when these Terms were last updated.

This site includes links to other sites, some of them operated by PMI subsidiaries and some of them operated by third parties. These links are provided as a convenience to you and as an additional avenue of access to the information contained in those other sites. We have not necessarily reviewed all the information on other sites and are not responsible for the content of any other sites or for any products or services that may be offered through other sites. Third-party sites may contain information with which we do not agree. Inclusion of links to other sites should not be viewed as an endorsement of the content of linked sites. Different terms and conditions may apply to your use of any linked sites. You understand that all information (such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images) to which you may have access through links to other sites are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated.

The touchpoint is intended to be used by adults aged 21 and above who are interested in unsmoking themselves, someone they care about or the world (“Intended User”). If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use the touchpoint.

To ‘unsmoke’ means to rid smoke from your life. The act of unsmoking unites smokers and nonsmokers who want to unsmoke themselves, family and friends. The best way to unsmoke is to quit cigarettes and nicotine completely, but the next best way is to switch to better alternatives.

To receive the newsletter, you must give us some personal information to enable us to verify your eligibility to receive it. Typically, this will be name, confirmation of adult status, country of residence and e-mail address. We will hold this in accordance with our Privacy Notice (see the “Privacy and Cookies” section below for more information.)

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate operation of or access to the touchpoint, or any portion of it, at our discretion. For example, we may terminate operation of the touchpoint for users if we have reason to believe that the touchpoint is being used by someone who is not an Intended User.

We may also update the touchpoint and change the content at any time. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on the touchpoint, note that any content on it may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update it.

We may also interrupt the regular operation of the touchpoint, or any portion of it, as necessary to perform routine or non-routine maintenance, to correct errors, or to make other changes.

The touchpoint and all its contents (including messages posted on the forum, software, files, graphics, data, images and other material) (“Material”) are the exclusive property of us, our affiliates, or our licensors (or any combination of the foregoing), and are protected by law in your country as well as in other countries.

All intellectual property rights in the Material are reserved by us or our licensors. You may not use, modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, license, rent, publicly display or perform, broadcast, edit, adapt or create a derivative work of, or reverse engineer, in any manner, any part of the touchpoint or any Material.

The touchpoint and the Material are provided solely for your personal, private use. You may not use them for any other purposes (for example, you may not use them for business or commercial purposes). Note the paragraph on “Limit of Liability” below.

The touchpoint may include links to third party websites. These links are provided for your convenience only. As we have no control over such websites, and we do not review them, please note that:

- we do not endorse them, we are not responsible for them, and we make no promise in relation to them: in particular we are not responsible for the terms on which such websites are made available or their privacy practices, their availability, their content, advertising, products, or other materials, services or information on or available from them; and

- if you access any such websites, you do so at your own risk.

You may not frame, link or deep-link to the touchpoint to any website.

To the extent that in the touchpoint we collect any personal information about you, we will collect and process it in accordance with our Privacy Notice. Please read it to find out more about what personal information we collect about you, how we use it, with whom we share it, how we protect it, your rights and how you can exercise them.

This touchpoint also uses cookies and similar technologies to collect certain visitor information automatically. To learn more about such technologies (including Google analytics cookies), how we use them, and how you can accept or refuse them, please see our Cookie Preference Tool.

You should review our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice before using the touchpoint and, like these Terms, we may change them at any time.

Although we do our best to provide an informative touchpoint that you will enjoy using, unless where we have expressly set out to the contrary in these Terms, the touchpoint is made available to you on an “as is” basis. Also:

(a) it is your responsibility – not ours – to ensure that the touchpoint is suitable for your intended purposes when you use it;

(b) we accept no liability to you in respect of the touchpoint (subject to the paragraph on “Limit of Liability” below); and

(c) we accept no liability as to the suitability or fitness of the touchpoint in meeting your needs and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all express or implied promises and warranties, including:

- that the touchpoint, or any content contained in or delivered via the touchpoint or otherwise made available in connection with the touchpoint, is accurate, complete, timely, up-to-date, suitable, or will operate in an error-free manner;

- that access to the touchpoint will be uninterrupted, or error-free; and

- that the touchpoint, or the computer systems from which the touchpoint is made available, are free of viruses or other harmful components.

We do not exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or liability arising out of our fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.

We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage arising out of your use of the touchpoint in breach of these terms, or caused by technologically harmful material or actions (such a virus or a distributed denial-of-service attack) that may affect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other material in connection with your use of our touchpoint or on any website linked to it.

You acknowledge and agree that the operation of the touchpoint is dependent upon the proper and effective functioning of the internet and other third party equipment and services (including your own device or web browser), and that we do not guarantee, and will not be liable for, these in any way.

We will not be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or damages, or any loss of data, profits, revenues, business, or goodwill.

If you cause a technical disruption of the touchpoint or the systems transmitting the touchpoint to you or others, you agree to be responsible for all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from that disruption.

The laws of the jurisdiction indicated of the location we have given in the contact details of the touchpoint (the “Jurisdiction”) govern these Terms and your use of the touchpoint. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the Jurisdiction (and, insofar as the parties may validly agree, the courts in the town closest to our registered office), for any action to enforce these Terms. The touchpoint has been designed to comply with the laws of the Jurisdiction.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights under these Terms.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our right to enforce any such failure against you, or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do decide to waive our right to enforce a default or breach of these Terms by you, we will do so only in writing.

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. This means that if any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms are not intended to give rights to anyone except you and us.

Please contact us at pmftc@pmi.com if:

- you believe that the touchpoint infringes your intellectual property rights, or that it contains content that is illegal, offensive, or infringes your or a third party’s rights; or

- for any questions you may have about these Terms or the touchpoint.

This Cookie Notice describes how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our web site to collect certain visitor information automatically. It also explains how you can accept or refuse the cookies we serve.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a site, which are then used to identify your device for the purposes described below.

Cookies set by the owner of a site are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by other people are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable the third party to provide features or functionality on or through the site (like analytics, advertising and videos). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our site, and when it visits certain other sites. 

We use cookies (and other similar technologies) on this site. These cookies fall into three categories. Those in the first category are necessary. Those in the remaining two categories are optional: you can decide whether you want to receive them from us, and you can use this tool to set your preferences. You can change your mind at any time by following the link to the cookie preferences from any page of the site.

These are strictly necessary to deliver the site, or features of it that you have selected, in a convenient way. Examples: remember who you are, your preferences and your settings, so you don’t need to enter them each time you change page. These cookies are essential to operate the site, or to deliver the features you request, so this tool does not allow you to opt out. Nevertheless, if you wish you can set your browser to reject all cookies, in which case the site may not display properly, and the features you select may not be available.

These allow us to understand how people use the site, and how well it performs. They allow us to improve the way the site operates. We receive only anonymous information from these technologies: the information they collect is reduced so that it identifies only the area where you are located, then aggregated, before we receive it. You can opt in or out of their use as you wish.

These track your use of our site, and other sites, so that we can serve your device, when it visits this site or other sites, with information targeted to the use they have tracked. This includes showing you advertisements, and personalizing the content of our communications with you, to suit your preferences. This may involve also aggregating this data to gain a better understanding of the environment. Example: One of our service providers engages third parties to track and analyze use and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the digital platform. You can opt in or out of their use as you wish.
