Terms of Service

These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you (whether acting individually or on behalf of an entity) and AFI USA. By browsing, submitting inquiries through, downloading materials from, or otherwise using the Site, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the authority to enter into this agreement. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

The Site is an informational resource for professionals in industrial cooling, power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, data center, food and HVAC, and related industries. Through the Site, AFI USA provides information about its products, services, engineering capabilities, and technologies, and enables visitors to request quotations, technical documentation and consultations.

The Site is directed at business users located in North and South America. AFI USA does not accept commercial inquiries from residents of the European Union or the United Kingdom through the Site.

The Site is not an e-commerce platform. Inquiries submitted through the Site are requests for information and do not constitute purchase orders, contracts, or binding commitments of any kind, whether by you or by AFI USA. Any sale of products or services by AFI USA will be governed by a separate written agreement, quotation, or purchase order executed by both parties outside of the Site.

No content on the Site should be construed as an offer capable of acceptance. AFI USA reserves the right to accept or decline any inquiry received through the Site at its sole discretion.

AFI USA makes reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, performance data, images and technical documentation displayed on the Site are accurate at the time of publication. However:

• All product specifications, performance characteristics, dimensions, materials and features are subject to change without notice as we continuously improve our products.
• Actual product performance depends on installation, operating conditions, application, maintenance and other factors specific to your site, and may differ from the illustrative values shown on the Site.
• Photographs, renderings and diagrams are for illustrative purposes and may not reflect the exact configuration of the product supplied.
• Any recommendations, guidelines or technical statements on the Site are provided for general informational purposes and are not a substitute for engineering analysis of your specific application.

Definitive product specifications, warranties and performance guarantees applicable to any AFI USA supply will be set forth in the applicable quotation, technical proposal or written agreement.

The Site and all content on it, including but not limited to text, graphics, images, videos, logos, product names, trademarks, trade dress, patented designs, technical drawings, software and the overall look and feel, are the property of AFI USA, its parent company Axial Fans International S.r.l. (“AFI Italy”), or its licensors, and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

The UNIQUE Fan System, and other proprietary technologies displayed on the Site, are covered by patents and other intellectual property rights owned or licensed by AFI USA and AFI Italy. Nothing on the Site should be construed as granting any license or right to use any AFI USA or AFI Italy trademark, patent, or other intellectual property without our prior written consent.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Site and its content solely for your internal business purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, transmit or exploit any Site content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable copyright law.

Certain technical documents, brochures, datasheets and similar resources are made available for download through the Site. Such materials are provided for your internal reference and evaluation only. You may download and store copies for your business use, but you may not:

• Remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices on the materials;
• Reproduce or distribute the materials to third parties without our prior written permission;
• Use the materials in any way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation with AFI USA that has not been agreed in writing.

• Interfere with, disrupt or place unreasonable load on the Site or its infrastructure, including by transmitting viruses, malware, worms or other harmful code;
• Use any automated system, including robots, spiders, scrapers, or offline readers, to access the Site in a manner that sends more request messages to the servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period using a conventional web browser, except that operators of general-purpose search engines may use spiders to index the Site for the sole purpose of building publicly available search indices, and reputable AI training and inference crawlers may access the Site consistent with our published crawler instructions;
• Harvest or otherwise collect information about other users of the Site;
• Use the Site to compete with AFI USA or AFI Italy, to reverse-engineer our products or technologies, or to build a competing product or service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will AFI USA, its parent, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site, even if AFI USA has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision.
