By accessing our website, you are agreeing to the terms below. Please read them carefully.
Scope
v Access to, and use of, any part of the website of Lex Manibus (hereinafter “the Website”), any document, material or other information, including text, images and sound (hereinafter “Information”) made available on the Website and any of the services provided via the Website (hereinafter “Services”) are governed by these terms and conditions of use (hereinafter “TOU”) and constitute acceptance of these TOU by the user.
v These TOU may be superseded by other terms and conditions applicable to individual services or parts of the Website, irrespective of whether or not these TOU expressly refer to such other terms and conditions.
v LexManibus reserves the right to amend these TOU at any time by posting amended TOU on the Website. Such amendments take effect on the date on which they are posted. Users are entitled to object to them within two weeks of posting. Continued use of the Website or its services constitutes acceptance of the changes concerned. If a user explicitly objects to any new terms and conditions, Lex Manibus is entitled to revoke his/her access rights.
v If any provision of these TOU is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such unenforceability does not affect any other provision; the TOU are then to be construed as if they had never contained the provision(s) in question and are to be interpreted, in so far as possible, in such a way as to maintain their original intent.
v The general purpose of the Website is to enhance public access to information regarding Intellectual Property Rights protection in India. Subject to any legal provision governing access to documents held by LexManibus in electronic form, LexManibus reserves the right to modify, limit or discontinue - in full or in part and without prior notice - the Services and Information available on the Website at any time, to restrict access to the Website and to deny, without notice and at its sole discretion, any user’s access to the Website or any part thereof.
Information
v Unless otherwise stated, the Information is of a general nature only and not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular case, individual or entity. Lex Manibus cannot guarantee that the Information is always comprehensive, complete, accurate and up-to-date. Consequently, Lex Manibus accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage that may arise from reliance on the Information.
v The Information in no case constitutes professional or legal advice.
v Where parts of the Information bear the name of their author(s) or are otherwise clearly attributable to a person or institution not directly affiliated to Lex Manibus, they do not necessarily reflect the views of Lex Manibus, which cannot guarantee their accuracy and reliability.
v LexManibus does not make any representation or issue any guarantee, either express or implied, as to the accuracy, availability, suitability or content of information or services hyperlinked from the Website. Reference on the Website to third-party events, statements, services or products does not necessarily constitute the endorsement or support by Lex Manibus for such events, statements, services or products, which remain the sole responsibility of the third party concerned.
v LexManibus shall not be liable and accepts no representation or responsibility for the functionality or contents of external websites, services or software products hyperlinked from the Website. The use of such websites, services or software products is at the sole risk of the user.
v These provisions are not intended to limit Lex Manibus’s liability in breach of any national law applicable or to exclude its liability for matters which cannot be excluded under such law.

v Subject to legal provisions, all Information published on the Website is protected by copyright and owned or controlled by Lex Manibus or the party credited as its provider or author. Lex Manibus reserves all rights to the extent possible under copyright law.

· the author of the Information and/or the party credited as its provider - whichever appears on the Website - is mentioned, and the Website is cited as its source, and
· the right to reproduce and distribute any such adaptation is explicitly granted to any third party, under the same conditions as in the present Section.
o Where users establish links to a specific part or site of the Website, the Website must be the sole element of the browser’s window, i.e. it must not appear within another website’s frame.
v This right to use does not allow the user to copy all - or a substantial part of – data and data structure of Lex Manibus databases made available on the Website; in particular, it does not allow any use of data mining, robots, or similar data-gathering and extraction tools.
v Any commercial use of the content of Lex Manibus databases available on the Website to provide information retrieval services, including marketing-related activities to Lex Manibus or third parties, requires the conclusion of a separate Licence Agreement with Lex Manibus.
v No other use of the Information is permitted without prior written authorisation from Lex Manibus.
v LexManibus’s logo and registered trademarks remain protected and may not be used or reproduced without LexManibus’s prior written consent, which may be requested at info@lexmanibus.com.
v Photographs and other graphical or image material may not be reproduced, published or reprinted without Lex Manibus’s prior written consent, unless the photographs and material are expressly made available for download. Any violation of copyright in such materials used by Lex Manibus must be reported at info@lexmanibis.com.
User obligations
v Users of the Website must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. They must refrain from violating or attempting to violate Lex Manibus’s network security, and, in particular, from uploading or attaching virus-containing or corrupted files or any software or programs that might damage the operation of another user’s computer. Users must furthermore refrain from restricting, or attempting to restrict in any way access to or use of the Website or any Services by other users (for example by generating, whether manually or in an automated fashion, unusually high numbers of service accesses).
v Some of the Services available on this Website require details of the user. Users must provide correct and complete information when using such services, and update it if necessary. By providing such details, users agree to being contacted by Lex Manibus by e‑mail or phone.
v In the event of any violation of the above user obligations, LexManibus is entitled to revoke the user’s access rights without prior notice.
Technical errors and malfunctions
v LexManibus aims at minimising technical errors and malfunctions. However, some data or other parts of the Information may have been created or structured in files or formats that are not error-free. Lex Manibus cannot guarantee that the underlying files and the formats used are error-free and will not cause the user’s systems to malfunction.
v LexManibus cannot guarantee that the Website and the Services will always be available. Whilst Lex Manibus is committed to ensuring that the availability of the Website will be essentially uninterrupted and that transmissions will be error-free, this cannot be guaranteed. Access to the Website and its Services may also occasionally be suspended, restricted or impeded to permit repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new services or facilities.
v LexManibus accepts no responsibility with regard to such problems (including, but not limited to, failure of performance, computer virus, communication line failure, alteration of content, etc.) encountered as a result of using the Website or any linked external sites.
Security
v For some Services and parts of the Website, Lex Manibus offers data security by means of secure socket layer (SSL) technology. A number of Services may be accessed by authorised users by way of a self-defined username and password.
v However,Lex Manibus cannot guarantee that data transmitted is absolutely secure at all times from attack by third parties, nor can it guarantee the absolute security of the data transmission process.
Transactions using website
v The placing of an order for services via the website constitutes an offer to Lex Manibus to conclude a contract for the provision of such services. Lex Manibus may accept such offers by sending a confirmation e-mail or letter, by dispatching the product or by commencing with the provision of the service.
v Where applicable, the confirmation e-mail or letter will contain details of the amount to be paid and the method of payment for the services ordered. Where such a confirmation e-mail or letter is sent, and unless otherwise stated, the contract is not deemed to be concluded until Lex Manibus receives the payment. An e-mail or letter which merely confirms receipt of the order and the details of said order does not constitute acceptance of the user’s offer.
v Unless otherwise expressly agreed, all web-based transactions are governed by the Indian law.
Privacy & Data protection
v When the Website is accessed, certain information about users, such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, navigation through the site, software used and time spent, may be stored by Lex Manibus or on its behalf. This information may be used for website traffic analysis only, and not to identify users. No attempt will be made to monitor systematically individual users of IP addresses, or the actions that they perform.
v Personal data may not be recorded or saved without the user’s express consent. By completing any data collection form on the Website, the user expressly agrees to the storage and processing of the data entered. All data provided by the user (such as, names, addresses, credit card details, account information, etc.) will be treated as confidential, stored and processed only for the purpose for which it was collected, and made available only to the unit responsible for dealing with it. In particular, personal data will not be passed on to third parties or published or made available for general access without the user’s express agreement or unless necessary to comply with a request by or for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract with that user, or unless Lex Manibus, under Law, is obliged to make such data available to public authorities.
