version is dated 10 August 2022. By using Werklab Ltd, you consent to the collection and use of
data by us as set out in this Privacy Policy. Continued access or use of Werklab Ltd will constitute
your express acceptance of any modifications to this Privacy Policy.
All uses of the word "including" mean "including but not limited to" and the enumerated
examples are not intended to in any way limit the term which they serve to illustrate. Any email
addresses set out in this policy may be used solely for the purpose for which they are stated to
be provided, and any unrelated correspondence will be ignored. Unless otherwise required by
law, we reserve the right to not respond to emails, even if they relate to a legitimate subject
matter for which we have provided an email address. As a matter of common sense, you are
more likely to get a reply if your request or question is polite, reasonable and there is no
relatively obvious other way to deal with or answer your concern or question (e.g. FAQs, other
areas of our website etc.).
Our staff are not authorised to contract on behalf of Werklab Ltd, waive rights or make
representations (whether contractual or otherwise). If anything contained in an email from a
Werklab Ltd address contradicts anything in this policy, our terms or any official public
announcement on our website, or is inconsistent with or amounts to a waiver of any Werklab Ltd
rights, the email content will be read down to grant precedence to the latter. The only exception
to this is genuine correspondence expressed to be from the Werklab Ltd legal department.
