While certain trade-marks of third parties may be used by Albarrie under licence, the display of third-party trade-marks on the Website should not be taken to imply any relationship or licence between Albarrie and the owner of the said trademark or to imply that Albarrie endorses the wares, services or business of the owner of the said trade-mark.
