Product, Safety and Other Technical Information
While DEWALT uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide accurate
information, the industry of which DEWALT is a part and the laws and regulations
applicable to that industry do change. Therefore information contained on the
Sites may not be current, accurate or complete. Because many factors go into the
decision-making process of purchasing a given product and everyone’s particular
circumstances and needs may differ, the Licensed Content is provided for
informational purposes only. DEWALT cannot ensure or guarantee and does not
warrant that Your product selection will be accurate, meet Your (or, if
applicable, Your customer’s) particular needs or requirements or that the
recommendations, regulations or other information provided by DEWALT experts or
other Sites users is complete, accurate or current. Please read and follow all
instructions contained in product manuals. Each claim or statement made by
DEWALT about the effectiveness of DEWALT products and/or comparing the
effectiveness of DEWALT products to that of others and all use of the Sites is
expressly limited to the United States unless otherwise stated on the Sites. If
a product offered by DEWALT purchased through the Sites is not as described,
Your sole remedy is to return it in its original, unused form and receive either
a replacement of the product You purchased, a refund of the price You actually
paid or other remedy provided pursuant to the manufacturer’s warranty. Please
address all product complaints as provided in the manufacturer’s warranty and
other materials provided on purchase. Do not make product complaints through the
Sites. Product description and pricing is subject to correction and change.
DEWALT may refuse or cancel product orders placed at an incorrect price, or
based upon erroneous promotion terms, whether or not the order has been
confirmed. DEWALT’s obligations, if any, with respect to its products and
services are governed solely by the specific agreement through which they were
provided. Sales made through the Sites, if any, are governed by DEWALT’s
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale and/or Invoice-Terms and Conditions.
WARNING: Some of the information and advice on the Sites
may be provided by third party contributors who are not affiliated with DEWALT.
DEWALT makes no representation as to the truth, thoroughness,
or accuracy of such information or advice. In all operations and uses related to
power tools and their accessories and other matters discussed on the Sites, You
must read, understand, and adhere to the safety warnings and instructions pertaining
to such products and accessories as well as other regulations and standards applicable
to the nature and environment of ownership, maintenance, or use. Additionally, in
all cases, power tool users should wear all recommended personal protective equipment.
3. Privacy and Data Security
DEWALT values its relationship with visitors and
customers and uses commercially available technology to safeguard any personal
information collected through the Sites. Nevertheless, the internet is an open
medium and no data transmission through the internet is completely secure. You
transmit Your personal information at Your own risk. DEWALT does not guaranty or
warranty the security of information You transmit. Once received, Your personal
information is stored in the United States. DEWALT takes various precautions to
safeguard Your personal information against loss, theft and misuse as well as
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. For example, the
Sites use Secure Sockets layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal
information is required. It is Your responsibility to preserve the
confidentiality of and not share Your user ID and password. It is also Your
responsibility to notify DEWALT immediately when You need to terminate an
individual’s access. You are responsible for the actions of each individual to
whom You have given access.
Information Collected: In general, You may visit the
Sites without telling DEWALT who You are or revealing personal information about
Yourself. However, DEWALT, its business partners and other companies providing
services to or on behalf of DEWALT (such as, for example, companies assisting
with the operation or features of the Sites, advertising and promotional
campaigns, surveys, contests and the like) may use various technologies (such as
cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, click-through URL links) to collect
non-personally identifiable information discernable as a result of Your visit.
This may include, without limitation, Your IP address, web pages requested or
viewed, date, time and domain type, demographic information and responses to
surveys, promotions and advertisements. Information gleaned from Your browser is
automatically received and recorded on server logs. As technology evolves,
information may be gathered through other means as well. You may set Your
browser either to notify You when You receive a cookie or to refuse to accept
cookies. However, if you do so You may not be able to participate in certain of
the Sites’ features.
Information that personally identifies You, such as Your
name, address, e-mail address, telephone number as well as demographic data
specific to You may also be collected from a variety of sources. You may provide
personally identifiable information directly, it may be gleaned through the
Sites or collected from other sources. For example, when You register on the
Sites, You create a personal profile – providing Your name, telephone number,
email address and in some cases Your mailing address or credit card information
– and choose a password for security. The Sites save Your information so that
the next time You place an order or register a product, You only need to enter
Your unique ID and password. You cannot communicate with DEWALT through the
“FindAnswers or ContactUs” or other service or customer support links on the
Sites or via e-mail without providing personally identifiable information. If
You contact DEWALT or its service providers, a record of that session or
correspondence will be maintained. Personally identifiable information is
collected and stored when You register product warranties, order parts, check
repair status, become a member of the Sites, access the “Pro’s Page,”
participate in owner’s clubs and public forums such as “Ratings and Review” and
other blogs, chat rooms, news groups or bulletin boards, request DEWALT Racing
information, literature and/or product information. If you use a bulletin board,
chat room or other interactive public areas of any of the Sites, any information
You share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information You
submit to one of these forums can be read, collected or used by other
individuals to send You unsolicited messages. DEWALT is not responsible for
personally identifiable information You choose to submit in these forums. If You
do choose to make otherwise non-public information available by enabling certain
user features, DEWALT will collect that information from Your interaction and
the information will become publicly available.
Information Use/Sharing: DEWALT
will not trade, sell or share Your personal information with third party
marketers without Your consent unless required by law or as disclosed to You as
provided in these Terms of Use or when the information is collected. DEWALT may
use any information gained through the Sites for any legal purpose. If You
access the Sites outside the United States, Your connection is through and to
servers located in the United States. Any personal information You provide will
be processed and maintained in the United States on DEWALT’s Sites’ servers
and/or other network systems operated by or for DEWALT’s benefit. If You access
the Sites and/or reside outside of the United States, Your information may be
stored, transmitted and shared in accordance with U.S. data privacy laws which
may not be equivalent to those in effect in Your country. DEWALT uses personal
information You provide in a number of ways. When You register, You create a
member profile that enables You to choose to interact with DEWALT in a variety
of ways, including receiving emails and text messages. You may, at any time,
limit Your interactions, for example, by updating Your member profile to stop
receiving DEWALT Racing updates. Please note that You may continue to receive
messages for a short time until DEWALT’s records are updated. Personal
information is required to fulfill Your requests for products, literature or
other information, to provide product support, product research, answer
questions, correct problems with the Sites, to notify You of new or improved
products or product uses, to enlist Your participation in email campaigns,
surveys, promotions, sweepstakes or contests, to customize Licensed Content,

and promotional campaigns, to provide anonymous reporting for internal use and
to third parties. Information collected from any source may be combined to
improve products and services and enable more targeted, tailored communications.

Many companies within the Black & Decker family manufacture and sell consumer and commercial
products. Unless not permitted by law, all companies within the Black & Decker
family, including its world-wide affiliates, share information collected through
the Sites and may contact You directly. DEWALT may also share Your information
with businesses that offer products that it believes may be of interest to You
as well as those providing services to DEWALT. These businesses may then contact
You directly with product or sample offers that may be of interest to You,
personalized offers and information or to ask for Your feedback on products and
programs.
If DEWALT or its parent company were to merge with or be acquired by another
company or if it were to cease operations, Your information may be transferred
to the surviving or acquiring company and will then be subject to that company’s
privacy policy which may be different from that of DEWALT. Your personal information
may be disclosed if there is reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action to enforce any legal rights, including against You or a
third party, for nonpayment, violation of any agreement, and to prevent injury to or
interference with DEWALT’s rights or property, the rights or property of users of
other Sites or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. DEWALT may
disclose or access account information when it believes, in good faith, that
disclosure is required by law, for administrative and other purposes deemed

5. Social
Media/Blogs/User Submissions
Certain more interactive portions of the Sites, such as Ratings and Review, Testimonials,
blogs and other social media forums require special mention. DEWALT
insists that all statements made about it and its products be accurate, not misleading
and not contain unsubstantiated statements. DEWALT
adheres to and requires that its employees, service providers and others endorsing
or otherwise acting on behalf of a Black & Decker family brand on a blog or other
public forum all adhere to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules and guidelines governing
endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that endorsers disclose a material
connection with an advertiser, his/her affiliation with DEWALT
and if incentives, free products or gifts or other compensation was received from
DEWALT. Because Your opinions may be considered an
“endorsement” and You an “endorser” under the FTC’s revised Endorsement and Testimonial
Guide, it is important that You fully and completely understand what the FTC requires.
You are responsible for complying with FTC requirements. For example, as an endorser,
the FTC requires that You (i) let readers know if You received any free products
or any other item of value from DEWALT or if another
material connection exists, and (ii) ensure that Your statements about and reviews
of DEWALT products reflect Your honest opinions, beliefs
and findings. If You wish to learn more, You may access the most recent revisions
to the FTC’s Endorsement and Testimonial Guides at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf.

or geographic area in its sole discretion. Any offer for any feature, product or service made on any of the
Sites is void where prohibited. These Terms of Use and any other agreements, whether or not referenced herein,
constitute the entire agreement between You and DEWALT with regard to and shall govern all purchases.
Your activities and use of the Sites supersede any prior agreements between You and DEWALT. You also may
be subject to additional terms and conditions contained in invoices, purchase orders, terms and conditions
of purchase/sale, shipping manifests, bills of lading or terms and contracts that may apply when You use
affiliate services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Use, Your use of the Sites
and any other agreement with and the relationship between You and DEWALT shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Maryland without regard to choice of law provisions, nor shall the 1980 United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods apply. You and DEWALT agree to submit to
the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the pertinent state or federal courts located within or
with jurisdiction over the City of Baltimore, State of Maryland, regardless of the fact that the Sites
is accessible outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DEWALT may seek equitable
relief, including preliminary and permanent injunction, in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent
or enjoin misappropriation, misuse, unauthorized disclosure or infringement of any intellectual property
rights. The failure of DEWALT to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall
not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should
endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions
of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or
law to the contrary, You must file any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to Your
use of the Sites or the Terms of Use within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose
or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms of Use are for convenience only and have
no legal or contractual effect.
