  1. Protection of Site content – Intellectual property

 

All elements of the Site, including but not restricted to its structure, content, the information presented on it, illustrations, photographs, images, sound and video, articles, newsletters, presentations, brochures and computer programs, are protected by intellectual property and image rights. Either such content is the exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates, or the Company has obtained express permission to use it from third-party rights holders.

 

The Company grants Users who access the Site a personal, non-exclusive right to use the Site and its content. Consequently, Users undertake to respect intellectual property rights relating to the Site and the elements which comprise it, and in particular not to do the following without the Company’s prior written permission:

  • reproduce, represent, modify, alter, translate, adapt or redistribute any element contained on or relating to the Site without the Company’s prior permission;
  • redirect the Site or Services or use it or them for commercial purposes by offering them to third parties without seeking the Company’s express prior consent;
  • extract, reutilise, store, reproduce, represent or retain all or any qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the Site, directly or indirectly, on any media, by any means and in any form whatsoever, or extract and reutilise in a repeated and systematic way any qualitatively or quantitatively insubstantial part of the Site where such operations plainly exceed the normal conditions of use of the Site.

 

Any above-mentioned action performed without the Company’s express permission is therefore prohibited and would constitute an infringement sanctioned by Article L. 335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.

 

In particular, the trade marks and logos (referred to jointly as the “Trade Marks”) reproduced on the Site are Trade Marks, registered or not, that belong exclusively to the Company or its affiliates. No element of the Site may be deemed to implicitly encourage or authorise use of the Trade Marks published on the Site. Any use requires the Company’s prior written consent.

 

Articles published on the Site are protected by copyright and may also constitute a database within the meaning of the French Intellectual Property Code, any unauthorised extraction from which is strictly prohibited.

 

However, by way of an exception to the foregoing, the Company authorises Users to download for their personal use documents belonging to the Company that are made available to them in the form of electronic files intended specifically for that purpose.

 

In such case, unless the Company expressly states otherwise, Users are authorised to keep a copy of such documents, print them and share them with third parties, free of charge, for their personal use only, provided that they do not alter them in any way.

 

Users may briefly quote such documents provided that they include the document’s title, the page or publication number, if any, the Company’s name and, where appropriate, the author’s name.

 

  1. Confidentiality / Personal information

 

The Company is careful to protect personal information transmitted by Users of the Site.

 

The Company invites Users of the Site to consult the Privacy and Cookie Policy attached hereto, which describes the measures taken to ensure the confidentiality of your information.

 

The collection, processing, use, transmission, retention and protection of your personal information are governed by the Privacy and Cookie Policy [Insérer Lien].

 

  1. Hypertext links

 

The Site may also enable Users, via hypertext links within sections, to access other websites, web pages or services published and provided by third parties. The Company does not control such sites or external elements. Consequently, the Company may not be held liable for such sites or external elements and shall incur no liability for content, advertising, products, services or any other element available on such sites or via an external link. Furthermore, the Company may not be held liable for any damage or loss, actual or alleged, consecutive on or related to the fact of accessing, using or trusting content, goods or services available on such sites or from such external sources.

 

  1. Warranties – Liability

 

7.1. Company’s warranties and liability

 

The Company undertakes to ensure, insofar as it is able, that information published on the Site is correct and up-to-date. However, the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of information provided on the Site or of information from third parties.

 

In addition, the Company gives no warranty that the Site will be continuously accessible or available or that it is virus-free.

 

Users are solely liable for their use of the Site or of information provided from the Site. The Company may not under any circumstances be held liable for any direct or indirect damage arising from Users’ use of the Site or of such information.

 

Consequently, except where prevailing law dictates otherwise, the Company shall incur no liability for any:

  • interruption of the Site;
  • malfunction;
  • damage caused to devices, information technology, computer programs, platforms or any other element belonging to the User in connection with use of the Site;
  • error or omission relating to information published on the Site;
  • damage arising from unauthorised intrusion by a third party that has modified information provided on the Site;
  • direct or indirect damage, whatever the cause(s), nature, origin or consequences.

 

  • User’s warranties and liability

 

Each User states, acknowledges and warrants that they will use the Site in strict compliance with Article 3.3 of these Terms and Conditions of Use, in accordance with the regulations governing their activities, and that they will not incorporate any element into the Site that contravenes the prevailing laws and regulations.

 

Consequently, each User guarantees the Company against any legal or administrative action, complaint, claim or objection on the part of any administration or any natural or legal person invoking an infringement of any provision of laws or regulations, any prejudice or harm or any right or infringement of such right arising directly or indirectly from the User’s activity via the Site.

 

In such event, the User shall assume all the financial consequences arising therefrom, including but not restricted to legal fees, amounts awarded in connection with a court ruling, and compensation and costs of all kinds incurred by the Company.

 

  1. Effect

 

Should a competent court find any stipulation of these Terms and Conditions of Use to be void or unenforceable, it shall be deemed non-existent. All other stipulations of the Terms and Conditions of Use shall remain in full effect unless their non-enforceability has a material effect on the equilibrium thereof.

 

The Company shall replace the stipulation deemed void or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable clause that as far as possible has the same effect as that which the stipulation deemed void or inapplicable should have had.

 

The titles of the articles included in the Terms and Conditions of Use are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of such Terms and Conditions of Use.

 

  1. Governing law and jurisdiction

 

These Terms and Conditions of Use and the Privacy and Cookie Policy to which reference is made have been drawn up in compliance with French law.

 

The French courts have territorial jurisdiction to hear any dispute relating to the content and to use of the Site except where provisions to the contrary exist arising from Regulation 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (Brussels I).
