Force majeure in contractual matters occurs when an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the Contract and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the performance of its obligation by the debtor. If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies the termination of the Contract. If the impediment is definitive, the Contract is automatically terminated and the Parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code. In the event of the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, the Publisher will endeavor to inform the User as soon as possible.

For any question or complaint relating to the use or operation of the Site, the User is invited to send a message via the “Contact” tab available on the Site.

Article 13. Validity of the GTU

If any of the provisions of these GCU were to be declared, in whole or in part, null, illegal or unenforceable under a legislative or regulatory provision in force and / or a court decision having the authority of res judicata, it will be deemed unwritten but will not affect in any way the validity, legality or enforceability of the other clauses that will remain fully applicable. In such a case, however, and in order to avoid that the GCU survive in a truncated and / or incoherent form, the Publisher undertakes to integrate into the GCU a new provision aimed at reproducing the economy in the initial clause, in compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions and this, as soon as possible. Such modification or decision does not authorize Users to disregard these General Terms of Use.

Article 14. Modification of the GCU

The GCU may be modified and updated by the Publisher at any time, in particular to adapt to legislative or regulatory developments. Users will be notified of any changes to the Site Terms. The GCU applicable are those in force at the time of navigation on the Site.

Article 15. Interpretation and non-waiver

In case of difficulty of interpretation between any of the titles appearing at the top of the clauses, and any of them, the titles will be declared non-existent. The fact that one of the Parties has not required the application of any clause of the GTU, whether permanently or temporarily, can in no case be considered as a waiver of the said clause.

Article 16. Dispute and applicable law

In the event of a complaint, the User may contact the Publisher as indicated in Article 12 of the GCU. The latter will endeavor to find an amicable solution to the dispute. The present GCU as well as the relations between the User and the Publisher are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, only the French courts will have jurisdiction. In the event of a dispute with a consumer, within the meaning of the legislation in force, the latter may, at his choice, bring proceedings, in addition to one of the courts having territorial jurisdiction under the Code of Civil Procedure, before the court of the place where he remained at the time of the conclusion of the contract or the occurrence of the harmful event.
