When creating the personal account, the Internet User is invited to choose a password. This password is the guarantee of the confidentiality of the information contained in the personal account. The Internet User is therefore prohibited from transmitting or communicating it to a third party.

The personal account enables the Customer to view and track all their orders placed on the Website.

The Publisher undertakes to securely retain all contractual elements whose retention is required by law or by regulations in force.

The Publisher reserves the right to delete the account of any Customer who contravenes these general terms and conditions, in particular when the Customer provides inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or fraudulent information, as well as when a Customer's personal account has been inactive for at least one year. Said deletion shall not constitute a fault on the part of the Publisher or damage to the excluded Customer, who shall not be entitled to any compensation as a result.
This exclusion is without prejudice to the Publisher's ability to pursue legal proceedings against the Customer, where the facts so warrant.
