About SAMSUNG Group |
|
|

Each company within the SAMSUNG Group is an independent legal
entity. SAMSUNG Group is not a legal entity. SAMSUNG Group is a term to
conveniently refer to a group of companies that are tied together by their
corporate history. Therefore, please do not mistake the companies by their use
of the similar name SAMSUNG. In particular, no company within the SAMSUNG Group
can accept or receive service of process on behalf of another. No company within
the SAMSUNG Group is legally liable for another unless specifically agreed to in
writing to assume such liabilities. This site does not establish any nexus
between any of the companies such that you can assume that they can be sued
jointly or severally on behalf of another.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact
the Legal Department at 201-229-4068.
