ARTICLE 2: Purpose of the website’s General Terms and Conditions /Company Obligations/Consumer Customer Status

2.1 Purpose
The purpose of the present General Terms and Conditions is to define the rights and obligations of each of the parties in connection with accessing the Website and purchasing Products on the Website. Specifically, the General Terms and Conditions’ purpose is to define the terms and conditions under which the User is authorized to use the Website as well as the terms and conditions of access and operation of the Services offered by the Company on the Website. They take precedence over any other document that may have been communicated to the Company. All Users hereby acknowledge that the services offered by the Company via the Website are intended to evolve and be modified.
The General Terms and Conditions are applicable exclusively to the online sale of Products on the Website, to which access is free to all Users.
The General Terms and Conditions exclusively govern the contracts for the online sale of the Company's Products to Customers and, together with the online order, constitute the contractual documents binding on the Parties, to the exclusion of all other documents, flyers, catalogues, or photographs of the Products, which are only of indicative value.
The General Terms and Conditions are exclusively applicable to products delivered to Customers established in France and/or in a member state of the European Union.
The General Terms and Conditions, as well as all the contractual information mentioned on the Website, are written in French and English. In the event of contradiction between the different translations, it is expressly acknowledged that only the French version of the General Terms and Conditions shall take precedence.
Access to and use of the Website implies full and complete acceptance of the present Terms and Conditions. All Website Users acknowledge that they are fully informed and that they are bound by all the provisions set forth in the present General Terms and Conditions.
Any condition or provision to the contrary in the General Terms and Conditions opposed by the User will therefore, in the absence of the Company’s express written acceptance regarding same, will be unenforceable against the Company. As a result, the present General Conditions exclude the application of any other document issued by the Customer and more particularly his/her own general conditions of purchase when he/she is a Professional Customer. They therefore prevail over any provisions to the contrary that may be stipulated in the Customer's general terms and conditions of purchase.
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, at any time and without notice, to modify the Website, the services, and the Products or to amend the present General Conditions including the financial conditions in relation thereto.
The General Conditions applicable are those in force during each navigation on the Website.
Any person may use the services offered via the Website provided they are a natural person and of legal age and have the legal capacity to contract.
In addition, the Company reminds all Users that they must have a working e-mail address. In the absence of a valid e-mail address, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations and cannot be held liable for such non-performance. Specifically, the Company will not be able to respond to any requests made on the contact form and will be unable to process any orders placed on the Account.
Finally, the Company reminds you that any order placed via the Account will only be definitively validated once these General Terms and Conditions have been read and accepted by the User. The User thus acknowledges that he/she is fully informed and that he/she is bound by all the provisions constituting the present General Conditions.
Acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions in the form of a "checkbox" at the time of the creation of the Account constitutes proof that the User is aware of the said provisions and constitutes acceptance of the present Terms and Conditions.
Any use of the Website by the User after any changes to the General Conditions constitutes acceptance by the User of the new General Terms and Conditions. The General Terms and Conditions appearing online on the Website prevail over any printed version of a previous date. The User may at any time discontinue the use of the Website but remains responsible for any previous use.
The fact that the Company does not avail itself, at a given time, of a provision of the present General Terms and Conditions shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to invoke the same provision at a later date.
In addition, the Company is deemed to have communicated to the Client all the means necessary for the description of the Products offered as well as their related prices. The Customer acknowledges having freely, and under his/her sole responsibility, determined the choice and quantity of Products with regard in particular to the budget that he/she intended to devote to same.
To this end, the Customer declares having obtained all the necessary information concerning the use of the online sales area and the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the Products offered for sale on the Website.

2.2 Company status and obligations
Beforehand, it is specified that all Products offered for sale on the Website are shipped subject to availability. In fact, the presentation of Products on the Website at a given time does not imply and does not guarantee that these Products will be available at all times. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any Product at any time.
Once finalized, the User's order constitutes acceptance of the Company's offer, which means that the User confirms that he or she wishes to purchase the Products as described on the Website and on the Product information, that he or she accepts the proposed price and that he or she acknowledges that placing this order implies an obligation of payment on his or her part. Consequently, when the User confirms his/her order, he/she agrees to be bound to the Company by a contract of sale, subject to the availability of the Products and the validation of his/her payment under the conditions set out below.

2.3 Consumer Customer Status
In the event that the Site is used by Consumer Clients, Consumer Clients act as consumers as defined and understood by the French Consumer Code.

In this respect, the User certifies that he or she is aware of the costs of delivery of the Product he or she wishes to order as well as the terms of payment, delivery, and performance of the contract.

The use of the Products ordered may be governed by instructions for use and safety. The Customer undertakes to read and strictly comply with the instructions for use and security recommendations contained in said documents, including those distributed and updated online on the Website.

The Products comply with the requirements in force concerning the safety and health of persons, fair trading, and consumer protection at the time they are placed on the market. In addition, they comply with the requirements of French law in force at the time they are placed on the market.

ARTICLE 6: Order(s) on the MYCOURANT Website

To be able to purchase a Product, the Consumer Customer must be at least 18 years of age.

In order to be able to purchase a Product, the Professional Customer must be able to provide specific information relating to his/her company beforehand when creating his/her Account.

In addition, to purchase a Product, the User (Consumer and/or Professional Customer) must create an account.
The User (Consumer and/or Professional Customer) will be invited to provide information that allows his/her identification by completing the form available when creating an Account.

The User can also check the status of his/her order on the Website. If necessary, deliveries can be tracked using the online tracking tools of certain carriers or certain Reseller Stores. The User may also contact the Company's sales department at any time via the “after-sales service” link on the Website, in order to obtain information on the status of his/her order. The information that the CUSTOMER provides to the SELLER when placing an order must be complete, accurate and up to date. The Company reserves the right to ask the User to confirm, by any appropriate means, his/her identity, eligibility, and the information communicated.

The User will have to follow a series of steps specific to each Product offered by the Company in order to complete and finalize his/her order. In this respect, the steps described below are systematically followed:
- Create an account, beforehand (mandatory for any order on the Website);
- User’s information on the Website and at the time of the order concerning the essential characteristics of the Product;
- The User chooses the Product, its possible options and determines its quantity, places it in the Basket, and provides the essential data to place the order of the said Product (identification, address, etc.);
- Once the Products have been selected and placed in the Shopping Cart, the User must click on the Shopping Cart and check that the contents f his/her order are correct. If the User has not yet done so, he or she will then be asked to identify himself or herself or to register.
- Once the User has validated the contents of the Basket and has identified / registered, an online form will be displayed for his/her attention, automatically completed, and summarizing the price, applicable taxes and, where appropriate, delivery charges.
- The User is invited to check the contents of his/her order (including the quantity, characteristics and references of the Products ordered).
- The User then clicks on the "Order" button in order to begin the process of validating his/her order.
- The User chooses his/her Reseller Store that will serve as a delivery point and selects the delivery terms;
- The User completes his/her billing address;
- The User then clicks on the "Continue" button to initiate the purchase process of the Product(s) in his or her Shopping Cart.
- In parallel, the User accepts the present MYCOURANT General Terms and Conditions as well as the conditions of withdrawal that are included therein (valid only for Consumer Customers, in accordance with the legislation in force).
- The User follows the instructions for the payment of the Products and is sent back to a secure payment module.

The placing of the order constitutes a contract of sale between the Company and the User, subject to the availability of the Products ordered and the validity of the means of payment used.

It is specified that neither the order that the User establishes online, nor the acknowledgement of receipt of the order that the Company sends to the User by e-mail constitutes an invoice. Whatever the method of order or payment used, the Customer will receive the original invoice by e-mail after validation of the payment.

Once the process described above has been finalized, the User will receive payment confirmation for the order, exclusively by e-mail, as well as an acknowledgement of receipt of the order confirming same.

For the Products delivered, this delivery will be made to the address indicated by the User knowing that this address will be associated with that of a Reseller Store. Indeed, the delivery of a Product will be made exclusively within a Reseller Store which must be previously chosen by the
Customer during the ordering process. The Reseller Store and/or the carrier shall be deemed to be responsible for the transport and delivery of the Product as soon as it leaves the Company's premises.

In accordance with the provisions of the French Civil Code relating to remote identification, the User undertakes to provide his or her true identification details. The Company reserves the right to refuse the order, for example, for any abnormal request, made in bad faith or for any reason it deems legitimate.

It is up to the User to keep copies of the documents pertaining to his/her order (confirmation emails, delivery emails, General Terms and Conditions, and any other useful document). In addition, if the amount of the order exceeds EUR 120, the Company will keep a copy of the order in its files for the duration provided for by law . During this period, the User may request a copy of his/her order at any time. In this case, the Company reserves the right to invoice the User for the costs of retrieving and sending the requested document.
  
  - Retention of title to Products
The Products present on the Website and ordered by the User remain the property of the Company until full payment of the price by the User having placed the order.
 
   - Product Delivery
The terms of delivery of the Products are described in the Product Delivery Policy, accessible on the Website.

    - Payment on the Website
Payment is due immediately upon order validation.
The User must pay by credit card. Cards issued by banks domiciled outside of France must be international bank cards (Mastercard or Visa).

The secure online payment by credit card is made by a third-party payment service provider. The information submitted is encrypted in accordance with best practices and cannot be read during submission on the network. The credit card used for payment will be debited less than a week after the date of the order placed by the User.

In accordance with Article L. 132-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the commitment effectuated by card is irrevocable. By communicating his/her bank details at the time of the sale, the User authorizes the Payment Company to debit his/her card for the amount relating to the price duly specified.

The User confirms that he/she is the legal holder of the card to be debited and that he/she is legally entitled to use same. In the event of an error, or if it is impossible to debit the card, the order is immediately cancelled.

The Company uses a third-party secure payment system (managed by the company STRIPE). The processing of payments resulting from the use of the payment system will be governed by the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the Company's partner payment system and the terms and conditions of the issuer of the User's credit card that placed the order.

During the settlement transaction, the User is automatically connected to the server of the payment service provider's payment processing center. Banking data, protected by encryption, does not pass through the Company's systems (and is therefore not stored). Thus, the Company does not store Users' banking data.

The Company disclaims all liability for any error resulting from the payment system.
If the bank refuses to debit a card or other means of payment, the User must contact the Company's customer service department in order to pay for the order with any other valid payment method.
In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, opposition, refusal or otherwise, the transmission of the flow of money owed by the User proves impossible, the order will be cancelled, and the sale automatically cancelled.
The personal data communicated by the User enables the transaction to be carried out successfully. Personal data will be recorded and used by the Company in accordance with its privacy and cookie statements as set forth herein. The User authorizes the payment system to keep his/her bank details on behalf of the Company in order to facilitate future orders.
The Company may ask the User, by email or by telephone, for additional information concerning his/her identity (identity card) and the identity of the cardholder used for payment, depending on the amount of the order and the address of the cardholder.
The User has at any time the right to access and rectify the data concerning him/her, collected at the time of payment, provided that he/she makes a request by mail (to the Company's head office) or by e-mail to the following address mesdonnees.personnelles@mycourant.com
- Invoicing (VALID ONLY FOR PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMERS)
Any unpaid invoice by the Professional Customer, in whole or in part, on the due date shall automatically entail, without prior notice of default, the payment of all or part of the invoice by said Professional Customer:
• The application of penalties for late payment calculated by applying a rate equal to three times the legal interest rate in force on the outstanding amounts and for a period corresponding to the number of days of delay between the due date stated on the invoice and the actual payment (in value date);
• The legal lump-sum indemnity of forty (40) euros for collection costs, without prejudice to the Company's right to claim additional compensation based on supporting documents;
• Immediate payability of all sums due, regardless of the method of payment provided for.

The Company will also have the right to:
• Notify the termination of the sales contracts concerned. The Professional Customer shall then return the unpaid Products, subject to a retention of title clause, that have already been delivered, at his/her expense and at his/her own risks;
• The Company's right to claim compensation for the loss suffered;
• Refuse any new order or suspend the execution of orders in progress until full payment of the sums due or until the Professional Customer has provided a payment guarantee to the Company;
• In the event that the Professional Client does not observe payment deadlines, the Company reserves the right to modify the payment conditions of said Client.

ARTICLE 7: Product Prices and shipping costs

Product prices are indicated in Euros, including all taxes, and excluding delivery costs. The amount of the delivery charges for each order will be specified to the Customer and added to the amount of the Products before the final validation of the Customer’s order.

It is specified that delivery costs are calculated on the basis of the volume of Products ordered and their type.

The Company's suppliers' prices are subject to change. As a result, the prices listed on the Website may change. They may also be modified in the event of special offers or sales.

The prices indicated on the Website are valid, except in case of gross error. The applicable price is the price listed on the Website on the date the order is placed by the User.

In addition, the Company reminds that at the moment the User takes physical possession of the Products, the risks of loss or damage to the Products are transferred to him/her. It is up to the User to notify the Reseller Store of any reservations about the Products delivered.

ARTICLE 8: Withdrawal periods

8.1 Withdrawal period for the Consumer Customer (VALID ONLY FOR THE CONSUMER CUSTOMER)
The Consumer Customer has a period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the Products ordered to exercise his/her right of withdrawal and to ask the Company to cancel the order, without having to give any reason or pay any penalties.

This withdrawal period shall run as from the day after the date on which the Consumer Customer (or a third party designated by him/her and who is not the carrier) has (or the third party in question has) physically taken possession of the Product(s).

For orders relating to several Products delivered separately or for orders for a Product made up of multiple batches or parts whose delivery is staggered over a defined period, the period runs as from receipt of the last Product or batch or the last part.

If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday or non-working day, it shall be extended until the first following working day.

As a reminder, in accordance with the legislation in force, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the following orders:
o The supply of Products that may be made to order or according to the Consumer Customer's specifications or clearly personalized;
o The supply of goods that are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
o The supply of goods that have been unsealed or damaged by the Consumer Customer after delivery and which cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene or health protection.

8.2 Withdrawal period for Professional Customers
Unless the Professional Customer falls within the framework of the three cumulative criteria provided for in Article L. 121-16-1 of the French Consumer Code and is able to evidence same to the Company, THE 14-DAY WITHDRAWAL PERIOD DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMER.

ARTICLE 9: Legal Warranties

For any Product sold, the Company is required, with respect to the Consumer Customer, to comply with the legal guarantee of conformity prescribed by Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-14 of the French Consumer Code, as well as to comply, for all Clients (Consumers and Professionals), with the legal guarantee of hidden defects referred to in Articles 1641 to 1648 of the French Civil Code.

In the event of a lack of conformity and if identical replacement is impossible (size, color or reference sold out), the Consumer Customer may either return the Product and be reimbursed the price (including delivery costs) or accept the Company's proposal for a Product of similar quality and price. The cost of returning the products to mainland France will be borne by the Company.

Also, when the Consumer Customer acts as a legal guarantee of conformity within the meaning of the aforementioned provisions of the French Consumer Code, he or she:
 - has a two (2) year period from the date of delivery of the Product to act;
- may choose between repairing or replacing the Product, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
- shall be exempted from furnishing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the product for a period of 24 months after delivery of the product.

It is specified that this legal guarantee of conformity applies regardless of the commercial guarantee granted, if any, for the Products.
In the event of a latent defect within the meaning of the law, the Company undertakes, at the User's option, to replace the Product (if the said

Product is available in stock) or to reimburse the Product thus affected (return paid for by the Company), provided that said defect has been reported to the Company within eight (8) days, following the date on which the User should reasonably have discovered same. The cost of returning the products to mainland France will be borne by the Company.

For any claim made in application of the present article "Legal Warranties," the User must contact the Company using the “SAV” tab on the Website. The User should describe the nature of the non-conformity or defect. After validation by the Company, the User will receive an e-mail informing him/her that his/her claim has been registered, specifying the reference number of the Product to be returned, the price of said
Product and the return address.

Any Product return made by the User outside the procedures described above that would generate additional costs to be borne by the Company may be refused by the Company.

The registration of the claim does not constitute an admission of liability by the Company.

Refunds are effected by crediting the User's bank account.

Moreover, it is specified that the provisions of this article cannot exclude the right of withdrawal provided for herein.

Article 12: Protection of Personal Data

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the Protection of Personal Data (hereinafter "the Regulation"), the Company COURANT is "controller" for the data collected in the context of the service covered by the present Terms and Conditions. In this capacity, the Company undertakes to comply with the rules and obligations set out in said Regulation.

In particular, the Client is informed that the information he/she communicates to the Company is always essential for the proper performance of the services provided for herein. This information is mainly intended for the Company's internal personnel duly authorized to process same as well as for any reseller partners in charge of the Customer's order.

As such, the Customer authorizes the Company to carry out the processing necessary for the proper execution of the present contract in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the MYCOURANT Privacy Policy.

The Customer acknowledges having read the MYCOURANT Privacy Policy and all of its contents and having accepted its terms without reservation in the same way as the present Terms and Conditions.

The MYCOURANT Privacy Policy is attached to the present Terms and Conditions and is accessible by clicking on the following link https://

The Customer also acknowledges that he/she is free to choose the Reseller Store that suits him/her when placing his/her order. When choosing a reseller partner domiciled outside the European Union, the Customer expressly consents to the transfer of his/her personal data to this partner (transfer outside the EU). COURANT and its Reseller Stores therefore undertake to supervise these data transfers, in accordance with Chapter V of the Regulation.

The Company reminds the Client that he/she has the right to access and rectify his/her personal data and to oppose the processing of same. Such rights can be exercised at any time, at no cost, and directly at the following address mesdonnees.personnelles@mycourant.com via the service provided for this purpose in his/her customer account or via the contact form under the heading "RGPD / Privacy Policy.”

ARTICLE 13: Force majeure

The Company shall not be held liable for any delay or non-performance in the provision of any of the services it offers via the Website, when the cause of the delay or non-performance is due to the occurrence of a case of force majeure such as, in addition to those usually recognized by case law and in particular blockage of telecommunications, Internet blockage, breakdown of equipment broadcasting the Service, fire, water damage, blockage of means of transportation or supply or total or partial strikes.
Should an event of force majeure occur preventing a party from performing all or part of its obligations, the party concerned shall inform the other without undue delay.

A case of force majeure, throughout its existence, suspends the obligations arising from the present General Terms and Conditions. However, if the case of force majeure were to last longer than one (1) consecutive month, it shall give rise to the automatic termination of the present General

Terms and Conditions by operation of law, by either party, eight (8) days after notification by any means of such decision.

ARTICLE 14: Security

The Company makes its best efforts, in accordance with the rules of art, to secure the Website with regard to the risk incurred and the nature of the data processed.

The Website is an automated data processing system.

Users are prohibited from fraudulently accessing or remaining in all or part of the Website. Users shall refrain from using any access method other than the interface provided by the Company. It is recalled in this regard that articles 323-1 et seq. of the French Criminal Code provide for penalties of up to five (5) years' imprisonment and a fine of up to € 150,000:
o Fraudulent access and maintenance in an automated data processing system;
o Hindering the system;
o The fraudulent deletion, modification, or addition of data in the system.
In the event of discovery of such a method or if the User enters a reserved and private space (another User's account, for example), inadvertently and without right or authorization to do so, the User undertakes to immediately inform the Company by e-mail at the following address: support@mycourant.com, so that the Company can take necessary remedial measures.

Likewise, Users are prohibited from deleting or modifying data contained on the Website, or from fraudulently introducing data or even altering the operation of the Website. In particular, Users shall be vigilant as to not introduce viruses, malicious code, or any other harmful technology to the Site.
Any access to a prohibited area will be considered as fraudulent access.

Users undertake to consider that all data they have become aware of while having unauthorized access are confidential data and consequently undertake not to divulge same.
In particular, Users shall refrain from carrying out any operation aimed at saturating a page, bounce-back operations or any operation resulting in
hindering or distorting the proper operation of the Website.

Users undertake not to use any device or software of any kind that would have the effect of disrupting the proper operation of the Website. In particular, Users undertake not to use, in order to navigate on the Website and use its functionalities, any robot software or any other similar automated process or tool.

Users undertake not to take any action that would impose a disproportionate burden on the Website's infrastructure.

Users therefore declare that they accept the characteristics and limitations of the Internet. Users acknowledge that data circulating on the Internet is not protected, especially against possible misappropriations.

Finally, Users undertake to take appropriate measures to ensure the security of their own data and/or software from contamination by viruses circulating on the Internet.

Article 15: Advertising

The Company reserves the right to insert, on any page of the Website and in any communication to Users, any advertising or promotional messages in a form and under conditions of which the Company will be the sole judge.

ARTICLE 16: Insurance

The Company certifies that it has taken out an insurance policy with a reputable insurance company established in France for all the pecuniary consequences of its professional, tort and / or contractual civil liability for bodily, material, and immaterial damage caused to the Client and to any third party in the performance of this contract.

ARTICLE 17: Responsibility

The Company undertakes to make its best efforts to provide the services offered on the Site diligently and according to best practices, it being specified that the company is bound by a best-efforts obligation, to the exclusion of any outcome obligation (obligation to achieve a fixed result), which Users expressly acknowledge and accept.

The Company’s responsibility is exclusively limited to the provision of the services offered on the Website according to the terms and conditions described herein, to the exclusion of any other service.

In its capacity as Website publisher, the Company shall not be liable for the performance of a service, and in particular for the fact that:
• Erroneous information be communicated by Users.
• Orders be cancelled or modified by Users.

In addition, the Website may include links to other external sources. Since the Company cannot control such external sources, the Company cannot be held responsible for the content, products, services, advertising, or elements available on said external sources. The Company invites Users to read the terms and conditions of sale and/or use that may be available on said external sources and which are fully enforceable against Users.

17.1 Limitation of the Company's liability
The Company's liability to Users for the service it offers (online sale of Products) may not exceed two (2) times the amount it has received from the User for the service he or she has chosen.
Thus, in the event that a User suffers a prejudice, of any nature whatsoever, as a result of a fault committed by the Company in the performance of the service, the compensation that the User may obtain from the Company shall not exceed twice the amount of the price paid by the User for the selected service.

17.2 General Exclusion of the Company’s Liability
The Company cannot be held liable for non-performance or improper performance of the contract due either to the fault of the User or to the insurmountable and unpredictable fault of a third party to the contract, or to force majeure.
More generally, and unless expressly provided otherwise, under no circumstances shall the Company or its directors, employees or agents be held liable for any damages, direct or indirect, resulting from the use of the Website or the services offered therein, any content of the Website or other elements, accessible or downloaded from the Website, even if the Company is aware or has been informed of the possibility that such damages may occur.

In addition, the Company does not guarantee that:
- The services offered via the Website, subject to constant research to improve their performance and progress, will be completely free of errors, defects, or faults;
- The services and Products offered via the Website will specifically meet Users’ needs and expectations since services and products are in no way intended solely for a user in particular according to his or her own personal constraints.

ARTICLE 18: Evidentiary rules

Online acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions by electronic means shall have the same evidential value between the Parties as an agreement duly signed in paper format.

The computerized records kept in the Company's computer systems will be archived under adequate security conditions and will, as such, be considered evidencing communications, orders, and payments between the Parties. They shall be regarded as authentic until proven otherwise.
The archiving of contractual documents, orders and invoices is carried out by the Company and such documents may be produced as evidence.

ARTICLE 19: Customer Feedback

The Company has set up on the Website a system for collecting and publishing Customer feedback and reviews. This system enables the Company to improve its services and correct possible malfunctions.

Each Customer review is written in French or English and includes a rating between X and XX stars. An overall rating is then attributed to the Product concerned corresponding to the arithmetic average of all online Customer reviews relating to the Product concerned.

Submitting reviews does not give rise to any advantage or financial consideration for the benefit of Customers.
Submitting reviews operates exclusively on a voluntary basis.

Moreover, only Customers who have placed an actual order for a Product are likely to give their opinion on the Product ordered and/or on the Reseller Store.

In order to be able to publish his/her review, the Customer must have an Account, be a natural person and not be in conflict of interest with the Reseller Store or the Company.

It is specified that only the nickname and the avatar visual chosen by the user during the creation of the Customer Account will be used for the communication of the review submitted. The review shall not mention any information or personal data, which may be publicly distributed on the Internet, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts. As a result, the Company cannot be held liable in the event of:
- Publication of an opinion including personal data;
- Refusal to publish (via moderation) a review containing such data.
Likewise, the Client acknowledges and accepts that the notice will be published publicly on the Website and accessible to any Client, and possibly to Internet users outside the Website via search engine referencing and may be used by the Company for the purpose of promoting the Products or the Website.

The online posting of a Customer review is carried out quickly provided that it is validated by the Company's moderation team. Indeed, each review is subject to prior moderation by the Company or by a subcontractor of the Company. If the Company considers that the review contravenes its internal policy, it may, at its own discretion, reject same. The reasons which may justify such rejection are as follows:
- If the content of the review contravenes laws or regulations, or if it contains insults, threats and/or if the review is defamatory;
- If the review is incomprehensible, unintelligible and/or written in a foreign language (the only languages allowed on the Website for reviews are French or English);
- If the Company believes that its civil or criminal liability may be incurred as a result of the content of the review;
- If the review contains personal data, i.e., data allowing the direct or indirect identification of an individual;
- If the content of the review is unrelated to the rated Product;
- If the review mentions websites, hyperlinks, URLs, email addresses or telephone numbers,
including those of the Customer writing the review,
If the review content is similar to SPAM.

Customer reviews remain accessible on the Website as long as:
- the Product concerned is accessible on the Website, provided that there is no change in the Reseller Store or the main characteristics of the Product making the Customer Review obsolete;
- the Reseller Store concerned is referenced on the Website by the Company.

The Company allows the manufacturer of the Product or the Reseller Store concerned by the review to respond free of charge and publicly in order to:
• Thank the Client for his/her contribution;
• Give its point of view following the review given.

Responses are moderated by the Company under the same conditions as Customer reviews. Responses are published as soon as possible and shall be attached to the review in question. Each response is posted on the Website under the relevant notice.

Once the Customer review has been published, the Customer will not be able to modify same. However, the Customer may delete his/her review. The same applies to the answers provided by the manufacturers and/or by the Reseller Stores, which cannot be modified but only deleted.

20.7 Governing Law
The present Terms and Conditions are exclusively governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, Consumer Customers not residing in France may benefit from the mandatory provisions of their local law, in the event that these are more favorable than French law.

Article 21: Mediation/Competent jurisdiction
In the event of a dispute relating to the interpretation or execution of the present Terms and Conditions, the Client shall first contact the Company's customer service department (art. 10 hereof).

In the event of failure of the request for a complaint to the consumer service or in the absence of a response from this service within thirty (30) working days, the Customer may submit the dispute relating hereto to a mediator who will attempt, with complete independence and impartiality, to bring the Parties together with a view to reaching an amicable solution.

The Parties remain free to accept or refuse the use of mediation and, in the case of recourse to mediation, to accept or reject the solution proposed by the mediator.

If mediation fails, there are two possible scenarios:
   - For the Consumer Customer
In the event that no amicable solution is found within a reasonable period of time, and in the event of a dispute arising in connection with the interpretation or execution of the present General Terms and Conditions, the competent court shall be that of the defendant's place of residence or, at the plaintiff's option, the place of actual delivery of the Product.
    - For the Professional Customer
In the event that no amicable solution is found within a reasonable period of time, the courts within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of ANGERS (France) shall have exclusive jurisdiction, notwithstanding multiple defendants, third party proceedings and emergency proceedings.
