The goodwill derived from using any part of an AkkuFresh® trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Kent Holdings Limited. Except for the limited right to use as expressly permitted under these Guidelines, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder, by implication, or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to your AkkuFresh® importer, Distributor, representative or submit your query to Kent Holdings Limited’s Send Mail.
