Elle Buzz – Terms Of Service

Last updated: June 4, 2025

AGREEMENT TO OUR TERMS
Welcome to Elle Buzz (“we”, “us”, “our”). Elle Buzz is a website available at ellebuzz.com (the “Site”) that provides online content, including loyalty tests and other related interactive features (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using our Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and accepted to be bound by these legal terms (“Legal Terms”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND MUST STOP USING THEM IMMEDIATELY.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”), and Elle Buzz regarding your access to and use of the Services.

We may update or modify these Legal Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Any changes become effective once posted on the Site. By continuing to use the Services after those changes are made, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age. Users under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

If you have any questions or need to contact us, please email: contact@ellebuzz.com.

We recommend printing or saving a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.

1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided through the Services offered by Elle Buzz (ellebuzz.com) is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to applicable laws or regulations, or that would subject us to any registration requirement or legal obligation, including but not limited to those related to jurisdiction, data privacy, or local law compliance. Therefore, individuals who choose to access the Services from locations outside our primary operating region do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for complying with local laws, if and to the extent such laws are applicable.

The Services are not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), or the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If your interactions with Elle Buzz are subject to such laws, you are not permitted to use the Services. Furthermore, you may not use the Services in any way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Our Intellectual Property

At Elle Buzz (ellebuzz.com), we own or have the legal right to use all intellectual property rights associated with our Services, including but not limited to: source code, databases, functionalities, software, website design, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics provided through the Services (collectively referred to as the “Content”), as well as copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and logos (“Marks”). The Content and Marks are collectively referred to as the “Intellectual Property Rights.”

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws, as well as other intellectual property and unfair competition laws in the United States and internationally.

The Content and Marks are provided through the Services “AS IS” for your personal, non-commercial use or, if applicable, internal business purposes only.

Your Use of Our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, including the “PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES” section below, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to:

  • access the Services; and

  • download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have lawfully gained access,

solely for your personal, non-commercial use or internal business purpose.

Except as expressly permitted in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, no part of the Services, Content, or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our express prior written permission.

If you wish to use the Services, Content, or Marks in any way not expressly permitted by these Terms, please contact us at: contact@ellebuzz.com. If we grant permission to post, reproduce, or publicly display any part of our Services or Content, you must clearly identify Elle Buzz as the owner or licensee and ensure any copyright or proprietary notice remains visible.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in relation to the Services, Content, and Marks.

Any violation of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach of these Legal Terms and will result in the immediate termination of your right to use our Services, without prior notice.

Upon termination under this clause, you must immediately cease all use of the Services, including access to our website or any related platforms.

We are not liable for any damages, losses, or costs incurred due to a breach of these Intellectual Property Rights, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, demands, or legal actions arising from such a breach, as further described in Clause 22.

  • Your Contributions;
  • Your use of the Services;
