WITHDRAWAL INSTRUCTION

You may withdraw orders for products which are physically delivered to You, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by You, for any or no reason until 14 (fourteen) days from the day after the day which the product is delivered You by making a clear statement to Lexmark about Your decision to withdraw from the contract (see details of where to address Your notice of withdrawal above). Where You order multiple products in one order or a product is delivered in separate parts, lots or pieces, the cancellation period will expire 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which You acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by You acquires, physical possession of the last product, part, lot or piece that makes up Your order.

CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWAL

In the event of valid withdrawal we shall return the sums paid by You in relation to the affected products, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that You have chosen a type of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), without delay and at the latest within 14 (fourteen) days from the day on which we received the notification of Your withdrawal from this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that You used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with You; in no case will You be charged for this repayment. We may refuse repayment until we have received the products from You or until You have provided proof that You have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

If You withdraw an order for a product as described in this section 4, You must take reasonable care of the product and return it (and, wherever possible, all packaging and other materials which were provided with the product) to Lexmark at the address above within 14 (fourteen) days of the notice of withdrawal. The deadline is met if You send the goods before the end of the fourteen-day period. You will receive from us respective shipping documents and we will bear the costs of returning the goods.

You will be liable for loss or damage to the product if this loss is due to handling of products that is not necessary for checking the condition, properties and functioning of products.

END OF WITHDRAWAL INSTRUCTION

Neither the Site nor any materials from the Site may be copied, reproduced, modified, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, distributed in any form or by any means, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without the prior written permission of Lexmark.

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, without application of the conflict of law principles thereof and of the 1980 U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction is London. If You are a business Customer, each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter or formation.

If You are a consumer, You may bring any dispute which may arise under these Terms and Conditions to, at Your discretion, either the competent court of England, or to the competent court of Your country of habitual residence if this country of habitual residence is within the UK or is an EU member state, which courts are (with the exclusion of any other court) competent to settle any of such a dispute. Lexmark shall bring any dispute which may arise under these Terms and Conditions to the competent court of Your country of habitual residence if this is within the UK or is an EU Member State or otherwise the competent court of England.

If You are in the UK or an EU member state and we direct the Site to (and/or pursue our commercial or professional activities in relation to the Site in) the country in which You are resident, You will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which You are resident. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects Your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.

Lexmark reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. If Lexmark makes such changes, Lexmark will post the revised terms and conditions on the Site, along with the date of the revision. Any changes will apply only from the date of the revision to new contracts for the supply of products and/or services and not to orders which have been previously placed.

15.1

Lexmark shall not be in breach of these Terms and Conditions nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving the workforce of Lexmark or any other party), failure of a utility service or transport or telecommunications network or the internet, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm, pandemic or epidemic, or default of suppliers or sub-contractors (a “Force Majeure Event”). In such circumstances Lexmark shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing such obligations, provided that if the period of delay or non-performance continues for ninety (90) days, either party may terminate these Terms and Conditions by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party.

15.4

If You are a business Customer, these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Lexmark and Customer in relation to their subject matter; they replace and extinguish all prior agreements, collateral warranties, collateral contracts, statements, representations

and undertakings made by or on behalf of the parties, whether oral and written, in relation to the subject matter. Each party acknowledges that in entering into these Terms and Conditions it has not relied upon any collateral warranties, collateral contracts, statements, representations or undertakings, whether oral or written, which were made by or on behalf of the other party in relation to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions (together "Pre-Contractual Statements") and which are not set out in these Terms and Conditions. Each party hereby waives all rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to it in relation to such Pre-Contractual Statements. Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or restrict the liability of either party arising out of its pre-contractual fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment.

15.5

If You are a business Customer, no waiver of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by us. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided by these Terms and Conditions or by law shall not be construed as a waiver of that right, power or remedy. If a party waives a right, power or remedy arising as a result of a breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, this shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy arising as a result of any subsequent breach of that provision or any other provision of these Terms and Conditions. If You are a consumer, if we fail to insist that You perform any of Your obligations under these Terms and Conditions, 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 rights against You and will not mean that You do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by You, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by You.

15.6

Additional terms and conditions may be included with the products and/ or services purchased on this Site. You will be given the opportunity to acknowledge and accept them.

15.7

If any provision, or part of a provision, of these Terms and Conditions is found by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall be deemed not to form part of these Terms and Conditions and the legality, validity or enforceability of the remainder of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected, unless otherwise required by operation of applicable law.

The parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree within a reasonable time upon any lawful and reasonable variations to the Terms and Conditions which may be necessary in order to achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the same commercial effect as would have been achieved by the provision, or part-provision, in question and with no fundamental change to the bargain between the parties.

15.8

Lexmark shall have the right to subcontract the performance of its obligations under the agreement concluded with You to third parties.

15.9

If You are a business Customer, You agree and represent that the products and/or services supplied by Lexmark to You are for Your own internal use only, and not for resale or export.

15.10

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish or constitute any partnership or joint venture between the parties, create a relationship of principal and agent for any purpose between the parties, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.

15.11

Any notice, consent, permission or other communication required to be given under these Terms and Conditions shall be in writing in English and shall be delivered by hand or sent by pre-paid first-class or recorded delivery post to the other party at its address set out in these Terms and Conditions, or such other address as may have been notified by that party for such purposes.

A correctly addressed notice sent by pre-paid first-class post or recorded delivery post shall be deemed to have been received at the time at which it would have been delivered in the normal course of post.
