We may collect and use that Personal Information to provide you with products or services, to bill you for products and services you request, to tell you about ExxonMobil products and services which we think maybe of interest to you, or to communicate with you for other purposes. For employees and contractors, personal Information may also be used to manage and provide training and to obtain course assessments and self-assessments concerning skills and competencies from participants in order to identify and enhance training activities. 


As explained below in the section on Dissemination of Information to Third Parties, we do not distribute or sell Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to market their products and services to you; moreover, as explained in the Opt Out/Modify Information section, we will make a reasonable effort to remove your Personal Information from our database in such a way that you will not receive future communications from us, if that is your wish. If you notify us that Personal Information previously submitted to our site is no longer accurate, we will make a reasonable effort to make appropriate corrections. To facilitate our efforts to meet your request, it would be helpful if you could let us know the context in which you provided Personal Information, e.g in connection with promotion of a specific product or service. 


B. Information. We may store some information (commonly known as a "cookie") on your computer when you look at or use the Site. This information facilitates customizing your use of the Site and helps to avoid the need for you to re-enter your details every time you visit it.

We use third-party advertising technology to provide ads when you visit sites upon which we advertise. This technology will not process any information that can be used to personally identify you, that is it will not include your name, address, or other personal information.

We recommend that you check the privacy policy of other sites and contact the operator if you have concerns or questions. 


E. Dissemination of Information to Third Parties. Communicating via the Internet and sending information, products, and services to you by other means necessarily involves your Personal Information passing through or being handled by third-parties, but ExxonMobil does not sell or distribute your Personal Information to third parties for purposes of allowing them to market their products and services to you.  
 
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples include fulfilling orders, deliveries, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Such transfers may involve the transfer of Personal Information from countries within the European Economic Area to countries outside the E.E.A.

F. Data Transfers. We may transfer the Personal Information we collect about you to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Statement. 


If you are located in the E.E.A. or Switzerland, we comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of Personal Information to countries outside of the E.E.A. or Switzerland.

Part II – Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis oil analysis services


1) The Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis General Terms and Conditions.  All orders for lubricant analysis services placed through this Site and all services related to lubricant analysis provided will be governed these Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis General Terms and Conditions, except to the extent there is an express conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of a written agreement between User and the applicable ExxonMobil entity providing lubricant products or analysis services to that entity.  To the extent of any such conflict, the written agreement between the two respective entities shall prevail over these Terms and Conditions.


2) Placing Orders for Lubricant Analysis Services and Submitting Samples. Orders for the lubricant analysis services are placed through this website by requesting Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis-branded kit(s).  The cost for lubricant analysis services may be invoiced by ExxonMobil, in its sole discretion, at any time after the placement of the order, and under no circumstance will ExxonMobil be obligated to provide a refund of any payment, including, without limitation, in the event the bottle is not returned to an ExxonMobil oil analysis lab. Payment terms will be as defined on the invoice. The prices for lubricant analysis services for ExxonMobil customers will be as set forth in a price list provided by ExxonMobil from time to time1.  Requests for lubricant analysis on samples can then later be placed by submitting a Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis-branded bottle with a Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis bottle ID to an ExxonMobil oil analysis lab.  ExxonMobil will make a reasonable attempt to analyze samples that are submitted; however, the submission of sample bottles does not create any obligation on ExxonMobil to complete an analysis if the bottle submitted is not a Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis-branded bottle, if the product submitted is adulterated with water or any other contamination, if the product submitted is not a lubricating oil, if the bottle ID is missing, altered or defaced, if ExxonMobil is otherwise unable to identify to whom the sample is registered, or in the event that there are other mitigating circumstances that make it impracticable or impossible to complete the lubricant analysis, in each case in ExxonMobil’s sole discretion.  In the event ExxonMobil provides analysis services under any of the foregoing circumstances, User acknowledges and agrees that (a) the analysis services initially requested may not be the analysis services actually provided, and (b) User may be charged additional fee(s) for services rendered, whether the services initially requested or other services deemed appropriate by ExxonMobil in its sole discretion in light of the circumstances.  ExxonMobil is not responsible for mistakes in the order, non-delivery or late delivery due to failure, malfunction or mistake in the computing or communications equipment or the network used to transmit information relating to your order.  


3) Result of Analysis.  The results of any lubricant oil analysis provided hereunder shall be based upon the latest four samples submitted for analysis. ExxonMobil shall not be obligated to provide results in part (previous to the latest four samples) or in full containing sample result history either in hardcopy or electronic format.


4) Accuracy of Information.  ExxonMobil will make every effort to provide accurate information in the Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis Site. However, results and comments of the analysis are advisory only; the validity of the data may be impaired by a non-representative sample or incorrect data. For that reason, we make no representation or warranty of the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information on this Site.
