Last Revised: October 14, 2024
Welcome to www.minoan.com and all subdomains hosted on the same web address (“Site”). Please read these Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully because they’re a binding agreement between you and Minoan Experience, Inc. (“Minoan,” “our,” “us”, “we”). These Terms apply to your use of the Site, including, if applicable, your purchase of any products through a Showroom (defined below). By accessing or using the Site, creating an account, or purchasing products from a Showroom, you automatically agree to these Terms, you acknowledge our Privacy Policy, and you certify that you are at least 18 years of age and that you are providing truthful and accurate information about yourself. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not access or use the Site, create an account, or purchase products from a Showroom.
Minoan owns and operates the Site. The documents and other information and content available on the Site (including in any Showroom) are referred to as “ Site Content.” The Site Content is protected by copyright laws throughout the world. Minoan grants you a limited, revocable license to access and use the Site and Site Content and to reproduce portions of the Site Content solely for your internal non-commercial purposes. You must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices on any copies of the Site Content. Using the Site does not give you any ownership rights to the Site or Site Content. Further, nothing in these Terms confers to you any license or right under any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right of Minoan or any third party. Minoan and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms.
You may not provide any Materials (defined below) or use the Site or Site Content in any way that violates any laws, infringes on anyone’s rights, is offensive, or interferes with the Site or any Site feature. Except as expressly provided above, you may not (i) copy, display, download, distribute, modify, reproduce, republish, or retransmit any Site Content or any portion of the Site Content, including, but not limited to, any discounts on the Site, in any electronic medium or in hard copy, or create any derivative work based on such Site Content or portion thereof, without our express written permission, (ii) access the Site or Site Content or otherwise create an account for the purpose of developing a competitive offering or conducting competitive research or benchmarking. The Site and Site Content are for informational purposes only and we do not make any recommendations on or via the Site. You should not rely upon the Site or Site Content as the sole basis for any decision or action.
In addition to any other remedies that may be available to us, Minoan reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary, including immediately suspending or terminating your account and/or your access to the Site (or a Showroom), without liability to you, should you fail to abide by these Terms, or if, in Minoan’s sole discretion, such action is necessary to protect the rights of other users of the Site.
This Section applies if you are a guest or viewer of a property that has partnered with Minoan and you choose to purchase products from that property. The products are made shoppable via a website hosted by Minoan, but that the property manages and has made available to you (“Showroom”). A Showroom will redirect you to the website of the brand whose product you wish to purchase. While on the brand website, you will have the ability to purchase any products from the brand. You acknowledge and understand that any product you purchase is being sold to you directly by the brand and that terms and conditions which apply to such products are directly between you and the applicable brand. Neither Minoan nor the property is the seller of record nor is either responsible for such products. Each Showroom contains an affiliate link, which means that Minoan may receive a commission for each purchase you make from a Showroom. Minoan will also share a portion of the commission with the applicable property partner.
3. TRADEMARKS. All trademarks, logos, and service marks (“Marks”) on the Site are our property or that of third parties. You are not permitted to use any Mark without the Mark’s owner’s prior written permission.
All information, ideas, suggestions, or other communications you submit or provide to us will be non-confidential and non-proprietary (“Feedback”). Do not submit or provide us with any Feedback that contains information, ideas, or suggestions you consider confidential or proprietary. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, Minoan will be entitled to use, disclose, or distribute any Feedback for any purpose whatsoever without any obligation to you.
The Site may enable you to submit emails or otherwise provide certain content, data, or other information (“Materials”) to Minoan. You can only submit Materials if you own all the rights to them or if the owner has given you permission to submit the Materials. You do not transfer ownership of the Materials you submit, however, by doing so, you grant us the irrevocable right to use, copy, modify publish, perform, transmit, and display such Materials for any reason whatsoever in accordance with these Terms. We are not responsible for Materials submitted or posted to the Site by others.
We reserve the right to (i) modify the Site Content, or (ii) modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part the Site and/or the products in Showrooms at any time with or without notice to you.

These Terms and any related action will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of laws rules. Venue for any dispute arising out of these Terms will be the state and federal courts in New York County, NY, and each party (you and Minoan) consents to personal jurisdiction to such court(s) and also waives any right it may otherwise have to challenge the appropriateness of such fora.
You may not access, download, use, or export the Site, Site Content, or Showrooms, as applicable, in violation of United States (or other applicable) export laws or regulations. You agree to comply with all export laws, restrictions, and regulations of any United States or applicable agency or authority, and to not directly or indirectly provide or otherwise make available the Site, Site Content, or Showrooms in violation of any such restrictions, laws, or regulations.
Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be modified to reflect the original intention of the parties, and the other parts will remain in full force and effect.
