Privacy Notice and T&C

 

As you would expect, we take your privacy seriously. This bit may seem boring but it is important and we would ask you to read it through as it forms part of our Terms and Conditions. If you proceed in using the site then you acknowledge this and that you have read, understood and accept what is written here and indeed elsewhere in our “Terms and Conditions“ and “Disclaimer“.

We cannot vary any of our terms whether here or elsewhere so if you have a query, then please clarify before proceeding.

As with many websites we use technical electronic processes and programmes (including, but not limited, to cookies) to monitor our site and who visits it. Cookies, for example, allow us to store small amounts of information on your computer that help us to monitor traffic to the site, potentially personalise the content for you and make it easier for you to log on. For an explanation of cookies you can go to www.allaboutcookies.org.

There are reasons for this: it helps us develop the site for the benefit of you the user. It also provides us with important data and information about you the individual user which we want to have for the benefit of the individual user of the site and, of course, and to be frank, for the benefit of our business, which includes possible development of the Product.

Basic data and information is; your name, address, email and telephone numbers. There will be much other data and information collated because of the nature of the site and the Product. For example, we will store indefinitely the use you make of the Product. So, we will have details of the time and date, together with the period(s) of use. It may also include the location and computer used.

Any data and/or information that we obtain now or in the future will be ours. To be clear we would own it, but we will use all of our endeavours to keep it secure and certainly we will not sell or share those data or information as simple data and information, unless you give us permission to do that, except that we have affiliate and related companies with which we will do (and the number and complexity of these will certainly expand and grow in the future), but we would not do so with those organisations if they were outside the EU and, if inside, then only if we believed that it were, from our perspective, necessary for the business and that third party entity operated under the same protection and policy as we operate. This would usually be the case as all businesses operating in the EU fall under the EU Directives upon Data Protection. So, unless there is something that raises our suspicions then this, we will assume, will be the case. That said we would always ask the question. We may sell what we would call combined or aggregate information to third parties but this would not include information that would allow that third party to identify you. What this could be, to give a simple example, is how may people from a particular geographical area have used the Product.

The only exception to this is if we are required to do so by law or ordered to do so by a Court. Then we would have no option.

Turning to the contents of the site itself, we need those data and/or information, we believe, to record an accurate usage of the site and the Product. That said, you have to understand that we cannot promise or warrant anything. We are working on this exciting Product and by that we mean that we will continue, we hope, to develop it, because we do believe that the majority will benefit for a different colour background to their screen, but one of them may not be you. All we would say is, please remember that there are over 14,000,000 colours that we could use as a background colour for you, so you just don’t know at the moment. If it turns out that white is your background colour then all well and good, the Product has worked as white is your “coloured” background.

You can address any queries that you have to us using our online form. We will supply you with an initial response in 14 days. We cannot accept queries on this save in this manner.

That is that over with save to say, if your personal details change (like your name and address) then YOU MUST ENSURE you change these by following the procedure for “Changing Personal Details“.

 

 

Conditions

This is one of the boring bits, but is necessary for both the business and the User. Please read through carefully. These Terms and Conditions govern the use of this website. In using the site you agree to them without reservation and accordingly you should read them. If you then go on to use the site and the Product contained on it you are accepting them in their entirety. If you do not accept any part of them do not use the site, the process or the Product. These terms can only be varied by us and we cannot deal with any queries you may have as to them, whether raised by an individual user or otherwise. If in doubt you should seek independent advice before proceeding.

We are not opticians nor are we claiming to be medically qualified. Nothing in this site should be taken to mean that we are. Any expressions by third parties are theirs and should not be taken as an expression or endorsement by us.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS OBTAIN REGULAR MEDICAL AND OPTICAL CHECKUPS, AND IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT NOW OR DURING OR AFTER USING THE PRODUCT YOU SHOULD TAKE THE RELEVENT ADVICE AND, IF APPROPRIATE STOP USING THE PRODUCT AND REVERT TO A STANDARD GENERIC WHITE SCREEN.

You should be aware at the outset that the interactive nature of the colouring process means that you should not expect that at the conclusion of the process the colour that is found to work for you is one you would expect. It is the colour that the Product selects based on you fulfilling the procedures inherent in the process. If you follow the guidance and use the Product properly the colour generated will work for you. Also, at this time you may find that some screens are not coloured. For example, if you use gmail, your email screen may not be coloured. Manufacturers, of software and hardware may and/or may not be user adaptable and we are working on that.

You are advised to ensure that you revisit the process once a year so that any changes can be monitored and catered for. This is included in your annual subscription. In other words, the purchase of the annual subscription allows you to use the process 3 times. It is a condition precedent of this agreement that you undertake these reviews everytime you change or renew your screen. If you do not then may loose any benefits the custom screen setting may provide not fulfill the potential functionality and we will not be responsible for any detrimental in performance.

No refund can be given once the process has started simply because of the interactive nature of the Product. Once you commence the process then you accept that there can be no refund unless, for some reason the process fails to complete due to unforeseen difficulties with the software. You MUST reasonably complete the process within ONE HOUR from commencement or the process will time-out as any potential gain or benefit is likely to be lost and there can be no refund.

Just to make it clear, when we talk about “the Product” we mean the system that we have to enable you to find the optimum colour for your screen and “the Process” or “process” is the steps that you follow to achieve that. Further, “User” or “user” means, for example, any individual (whether privately or at work) and/or a corporate entity that purchases the Product for use by it’s staff and Officers. Finally, “the site” means this website.

1. You must be at least 18 years old to use this site, the process and the Product, if you are not then you must not use it. In proceeding you certify that you are 18 or over. If you are a parent and wish to use it for your children or a person under the age of 18 then you do so at entirely at your own risk and as such at your liability. Further this site is presently aimed only at users in England and Wales. It complies with the necessary laws, rules and regulations as laid down in England and Wales, which laws govern the site. If you are a potential user from outside the England and Wales then you accept this and understand and agree to that and that the site may not be compliant in some way with the laws rules and regulations of other jurisdictions wherever they may be and that we have no liability for any such breach, loss or damage of whatever nature that may be result from your use of this site.

4. The Product is for use on one computer system, that of the  User and the programme that operates it is not transferable to a second computer although, subject to 3 above the programme can tune up to 4 further screens on the same computer (as each User will have a different colour) and can retune the Product as is required for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase after which renewal is required.

If you do not renew then, as the process should be undertaken annually or when you change screen we can accept any liability if you encounter any problems including , but not limited to, your health. You may well be advised to revert to a white screen, but that is a decision for you, the User. All we can do is warn you. You should also be advised that the Product recognises the initial screen with your computer and will not work if you change the screen. One purchase a another screen.

5. In order for the Product to have a prospect of benefiting the User he or she must follow the instructions laid out on the site precisely not only during the process, but on the site generally. Failure so to do will result in the Product either failing to function at all or failing to function in the manner and way it has been designed to do thereby impairing any potential benefit to the Users.
