Certain jurisdictions do not allow for certain limitations or exclusions on liabilities, legal warranties and remedies. If this is the case in your jurisdiction, these exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

Acushnet assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable for any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer equipment, software, data or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing of this Site or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video or audio from this Site or any linked sites.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise noted, products, patents, product names, designs, logos, titles, text, images, audio and video within this Site are the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents or other property of Acushnet ("Acushnet Company Intellectual Property"). All other unregistered and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any licence or right to use any Acushnet Company Intellectual Property displayed on the Site without the written permission of Acushnet, or permitted in the section ‘Use of this Site’ above or applicable local law.

Acushnet devotes millions of dollars and countless hours every year to its research and development activities. The result of this huge investment of time and money are golf products which we believe are the finest, most technologically advanced products available. The benefits of these efforts are incorporated in our products and many of these features are not apparent to the casual observer, but are absent from other products which are intended to be copies or “knock-offs” of genuine Acushnet products. Acushnet Company Intellectual Property is protected by a multitude of patents, trademarks and other rights granted to Acushnet under international, federal and state statutory and common law. Accordingly, Acushnet expects that others will respect its intellectual property rights. Acushnet vigorously enforces its intellectual property rights, whether infringement takes the form of “knock-off” products, unauthorised use of trademarks or copyrights or in any other manner.
