You are only authorized to use the Services if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to these Terms of Use.

The following Terms and Conditions of Use govern all use of our website at silgancontainers.com (the “Site”), our mobile/tablet applications (“Apps”), and any use of other websites, pages, features, or content owned and operated by Silgan that direct to this Terms and Conditions of Use (collectively, including the Site and Apps, the “Services”).

Silgan reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, at any time. It is your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes. If we modify material terms to this Agreement, such modification will be effective after we send you notice of the amended Agreement. Such notice will be in our sole discretion, and the manner of the notification may include, for example, via email, posted notice on the Services, or other manner. Your continued use of or access to the Services following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement or on the Services, anything that you submit or post to the Services and/or provide to Silgan, including, without limitation, picture, video, ideas, know-how, techniques, questions, reviews, comments, and suggestions (collectively, “Submissions”) is and will be treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary, and by submitting or posting, you agree to irrevocably license the entry and all IP rights related thereto (excluding the moral rights such as authorship right) to Silgan without charge, and Silgan shall have the royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, and transferable right to use, copy, distribute, display, publish, perform, sell, lease, transmit, adapt, create derivative works from such Submissions by any means and in any form, and to translate, modify, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or decompile such Submissions.

We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between Silgan and you regarding its subject matter.

Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of these terms and conditions. Silgan may assign its rights and duties under these terms and conditions to any party at any time without notice to you.

10. Privacy Policy. Your privacy is respected and is critically important to us. When you use our Services, including to fill out forms or to contact us, you agree to provide us with your email address, postal address, and/or other requested details truthfully and exactly.

You also agree that we may use this information to contact you. To fully understand how we collect and use your personal information, including in relation to our Services, how to unsubscribe from non-transaction communications, and to learn more about our website cookies and similar technologies, please see our Privacy Policy.

When communicating with us by email or through forms on our Services, we ask that you please do not send us any sensitive information pertaining to yourself, as Silgan does not collect or store sensitive information or special categories of information.

11. Forward-Looking Statements. The Services contain information and press releases about Silgan. Silgan disclaims any duty or obligation to update such information. Certain statements included in such information and press releases that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting Silgan and therefore involve a number of uncertainties and risks, including, but not limited to, those described in Silgan’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Silgan’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the actual results of the operations or financial condition of Silgan could differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

12. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy. As Silgan asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, we respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by Silgan violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify us in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Silgan will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. We will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the Services if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Silgan or others.
