TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
This website is operated by Gallaher Group Plc ("Gallaher", "the Group", "the Company").
Your access to and use of any part of the Gallaher Group Plc website ("the website" / "this website")
is subject to the following terms and conditions of use which, by accessing and browsing this website, you
accept without any limitation or qualification. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms you should
not access or browse this website.
These terms may be amended by Gallaher from time-to-time, and are governed by English law whose courts
shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
Content
The material contained in this website is a guide for general information purposes only. Any reliance
thereon shall be at your own risk.
While Gallaher has taken every effort to ensure that the information contained within the website is
correct, you should be aware that the information may be incomplete, inaccurate or may have become out-of-date.
To the extent permitted at law, Gallaher disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, and
neither Gallaher nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliated or associated companies nor their offices, employees or
agents shall be liable for any loss, damage or expenses arising out of, or in connection with, any access to or
use of the information or material contained in this website or any site linked to it including, without limitation,
any loss of profit, indirect, incidental or consequential loss.
Financial services
The information on this website does not constitute a solicitation or offer relating to any securities of
Gallaher or its subsidiaries and must not be relied upon in connection with any investment decision whatsoever.
If you require advice you should contact an independent financial adviser.
Past financial, operating and share price performance of Gallaher cannot be relied upon as a guide to future
financial, operating and share price performance. Share prices and the income from them may go down as well as up
and you may not get back the amount you originally invested. The bases and levels of taxation may change, and the
value of any tax advantages to you will depend on your individual circumstances.
Some announcements include 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the US securities laws. All
statements other than statements of historical fact included in these announcements (including, without limitation,
statements as detailed in the 'cautionary statement' within relevant announcements), may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Although Gallaher believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Gallaher undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. Important factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from Gallaher's expectations (including, without limitation, those factors contained in the 'cautionary statement'
within relevant announcements). The risks included in those announcements are not exhaustive. Moreover, Gallaher
operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time-to-time and it
is not possible for the Company to predict all such risk factors to its business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements as a prediction of actual results.
Gallaher accepts no liability whatsoever in relation to any delays or inaccuracies contained in the
information regarding the share price of Gallaher which is published on this website.

Gallaher has no control over and assumes no responsibility or liability for the information or materials
contained upon any other website to which the website has links or access to. These links are provided purely

Privacy
Gallaher respects your privacy. This section outlines how the Company uses the information it collects,
and applies solely to information collected through the Gallaher website, and not other sources.
Personal information
Gallaher collects personal information about you (i.e., information that may identify you in some way, for
example, your name, e-mail address, mobile telephone number, etc.) through this website when you voluntarily
submit it. This may be when you register on the website, request information or submit comments. Providing
your personal information is up to you. If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not
submit it.
You have the opportunity to unsubscribe whenever you wish. If you would like to unsubscribe from
communications about Gallaher or correct any inaccuracies in the information Gallaher holds, please contact
the Company. The Company will supply, correct or delete information about you held on its files as soon as
possible.
Personal information collected will only be used by Gallaher to respond to your questions and requests.
This information will not be passed on to any third party.
In all areas where you are asked to provide personal information, you have to confirm that you are aged 18
or over. Gallaher will only respond to users who have confirmed that they are over this age. If Gallaher
becomes aware that someone under this age has provided any information, then that information will immediately
be deleted from the Company's records.
Internet protocol address
Your visit to the Gallaher website may be recorded by noting your internet protocol ("IP") address.
Gallaher uses this information to gather statistics on website use in order to identify areas that are used,
not used, etc., with a view to constantly improving and updating the website for the benefit of all users.
Your IP address does not, however, allow you to be personally identified by the Company.
Security
Gallaher takes security seriously and takes precautions to keep your personal information secure. The
Company has put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to keep your information
confidential. However, due to the open communication nature of the internet, Gallaher cannot guarantee that
communications between you and the Company, or information stored on Gallaher's servers, will be free from
unauthorised access by third parties.
In the unlikely event that Gallaher believes that the security of your personal information in its
possession or control may have been compromised, the Company may seek to notify you of that development.
If a notification is appropriate, Gallaher would endeavour to do so as promptly as possible under the
circumstances, and, to the extent the Company has your e-mail address, may notify you by e-mail.

Information provision
Gallaher uses the website as a primary means of communication with those who are interested in the Group.
All best efforts are used to ensure that:
- Gallaher news releases are published on the website as soon as they are released to the London Stock
Exchange;
- other material (for example, site visit presentations) is published on the website as soon as it
appears in the public domain; and,

There are no restrictions or password protected areas on any part of the website. The website is available
to be accessed by all users.
All requests received by Gallaher regarding further enquiries or information will be dealt with promptly.
However, please be advised that Gallaher will not respond to e-mails received that contain unsolicited
promotional or advertising material, spam, questionnaires and surveys, volume messages, or any e-mails that
contain material that is defamatory or obscene within the meaning of the Obscene Publications Act, or that is
abusive, indecent or in breach of the privacy of the person.
Accessibility
Gallaher recognises the importance of providing a website that is inclusive and available for all user
groups to benefit from - whatever their circumstances. The Company is, therefore, committed to making the
website fully accessible.
The website undergoes a continuous and thorough review, and has been developed to support both the web
accessibility initiative ("WAI") and internet users who have disabilities in line with the web content
accessibility guidelines 2.0.
The website has been designed so that, for example:
- a user can control the font size. This can be done in different ways, depending on the user's browser;
- a user can import their own style sheet if they wanted to change the layout of the site to make it more
accessible to them;
- contrasts of colour on the website are high;
- screen readers can be used to read and navigate the website;
- images shown on the website have adequate alt-attributable tags;
- navigation via the user's keyboard using access keys is possible;
- forms on the website are tabbed in a logical order;
- text on the website does not move, flash or blink; and,
- the website is compatible with different types of browsers.
The Gallaher website has been built to accommodate the most popular browsers used to view the site, and is,
therefore, compatible with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera on a PC, and FireFox
and Safari on a Mac.
However, other companies have also developed browsers that display webpages. These browsers all interpret
websites differently, but great care has been taken in the build of Gallaher's website so that these
interpretations will not affect the accessibility of the website.
