The Internet User thereby acknowledges having fully read and accepted them without restriction.

Ticking the aforementioned box shall be deemed to have the same value as a handwritten signature on the part of the Internet User. The Internet User acknowledges the evidential value of the Publisher's automatic recording systems and, unless they can provide evidence to the contrary, waives the right to contest them in the event of a dispute.

These general terms and conditions are applicable to the relations between the parties to the exclusion of all other conditions, and in particular those of the Internet User.

Acceptance of these general terms and conditions requires that Internet Users have the necessary legal capacity, or failing that, have the authorisation of a guardian or curator if they lack capacity, of their legal representative if they are minors, or that they hold a mandate if they act on behalf of a legal entity.

The purpose of the Website is to sell Products to Customers.

ARTICLE 5. CUSTOMER SERVICE

ARTICLE 6. PERSONAL ACCOUNT

6.1. Creation of the personal account

The creation of a personal account is an essential prerequisite for any order by an Internet User on the Website. To this end, the Internet User will be invited to provide a certain number of personal details. Some of this information is deemed essential for the creation of the personal account. The refusal by an Internet User to provide said information will prevent the creation of the personal account and, consequently, the validation of the order.

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. Otherwise, the Publisher cannot be held liable for unauthorised access to an Internet User's personal account.

The Customer undertakes to carry out regular verification of the data concerning them and to make the necessary updates and modifications online, from their personal account.

6.2. Content of the personal account

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

Pages relating to personal accounts may be freely printed by the account holder in question, but do not constitute admissible evidence before a court. They are informational in nature only, intended to ensure efficient management of orders by the Customer.

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

6.3. Deletion of the personal account

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.

ARTICLE 7. PERSONAL DATA

The Publisher, as data controller, processes its Customers' personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French "Informatique et Libertés" law. The data collected, the purposes and legal bases of the processing, the recipients, the retention periods, as well as the Customers' rights and the procedures for exercising them, are described in the Privacy Policy of the Website.

8.1. Legal protection of Website Content
