disclosure. Any information you enter on our accounts setup page is
encrypted before transmission to our server by using 128-bit Secure
Sockets Layer encryption software. You can safely enter your credit
card and personal registration information and it cannot be read in
transit to our server. We also employ many security procedures to
protect your information from unauthorized access by users inside
and outside the company.
Regardless of the precautions taken by us
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us, and you transmit such information at your own
risk.
What You Can Do To Protect Your Information?
(i) Use only
secure websites when disclosing your information. Secure pages
begin with "https".
(ii) Avoid using easy to figure out access and
personal ID (PIN) codes.

requests for your social security number or financial
information.
(iv) Do not disclose your passwords to the Site or
your account information to any other person.
(v) Be sure to sign
off when finished using a shared computer.

not responsible for maintaining your privacy once you leave our
Site. If you provide any information to parties who operate
websites that are linked to or from this Site, different rules may
apply to their collection, use or disclosure of your personal
information. We encourage you to review other websites' policies
before revealing any sensitive or personal information. Under no
circumstances shall we have any liability whatsoever for the
activities conducted by or at any website accessed from or through

V. YOUR
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (As provided by California Civil Code
Section 1798.83)
A California resident who has provided personal
information to a business with whom he/she has established a
business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes
("California customer") is entitled to request information about
whether the business has disclosed personal information to any
third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. In
general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal
information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer,
the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to
whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar
year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information
that were disclosed.
However, under the law, a business is not
required to provide the above-described lists if the business
adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy Policy) a
Privacy Policy of not disclosing customer's personal information to
third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the
customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as
the business maintains and discloses this Privacy Policy. Rather,
the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of
his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and
providing a cost free means to exercise that right.
As stated in
this Privacy Policy, we do not share information with third parties
for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree
to such disclosure -- typically by opting in to receive information
from a third party that is participating in a sweepstakes or other
promotion on one of our sites. If you do ask us to share your
information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will
only share information in connection with that specific promotion,
as we do not share information with any third party on a continual
basis. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use
in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use
when you provide personally identifiable information on one of our
sites. Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future
communications from a third party, your information will be subject
to the third party's privacy Policy. If you later decide that you
do not want that third party to use your information, you will need
to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how
third parties use information. You should always review the privacy
Policy of any party that collects your information to determine how
that entity will handle your information.
California customers may
request further information about our compliance with this law by
e-mailing info@iconixbrand.com. Please note that we are only
required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we
are not required to respond to requests made by means other than
through this e-mail address.
a. Limitation of Liability
IN NO
EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) WHETHER BASED
ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER
OR NOT WE ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE HELD INAPPLICABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE
FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF US TO YOU FOR ANY
TYPE OF DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR ANY PRODUCTS OFFERED ON THE WEBSITE OR U.S.
$100.00.
b. Miscellaneous
The Privacy Policy for the Site
established by us constitutes ours and your entire understanding
with respect to the use of the Site. We control and/or operate the
Site from offices in the United States of America. We do not
represent that materials on the Site are appropriate or available

from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own
risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to
the extent local laws are applicable. This Privacy Policy shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You agree to personal
jurisdiction by the federal and state courts located in New York
County, New York State. No waiver by use of any breach or default
hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or
subsequent breach or default. You agree that regardless of any
statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action
arising out of or related to use of the Site must be filed within
one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be
forever barred. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions and
Privacy P9olicy is found to be unenforceable for any reason, than
that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the
validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
