The User is sole judge of their legal, contractual and/or judicial faculty to access the Site and/or use the Site.

The general structure, as well as the software, texts, fixed/animated images, sounds, know-how, and all other components of the Site are the exclusive property of ArianeGroup or of its partners.

Any total or partial representation of the Site, without the express authorisation of the Site operator, is forbidden and would constitute a forgery, punishable under articles L.335-2 et seq. of the Intellectual Property Code.

The brands of ArianeGroup and its partners, as well as the logos that appear on the Site are registered trademarks (semi-figurative or not). The total or partial reproduction of these brands or logos, through use of elements of the Site without the express authorisation of the Site operator is therefore forbidden, under the terms of article L.713-2 of the Intellectual Property Code.

The General Terms & Conditions herein carry no cession of any kind of intellectual property rights on elements belonging to ArianeGroup, or entitlements over sounds, videos, photographs, images, literary texts, works of art, software, brands, graphic charts or logos for the benefit of the User. All other uses, not expressly authorised by ArianeGroup in prior written consent, are prohibited and constitute a forgery.

The Site and its contents are provided “as is” and with no guarantees, particularly with regard to future performance. ArianeGroup excludes, within the limitations of the law, all guarantees. In this regard and more specifically, ArianeGroup in no way guarantees that the Site be accessible at all times or without error and/or free of defects. With this in mind, it is reminded that access to the Site may be temporarily suspended, due to (i) maintenance work on equipment and/or software on the Site server, and/or (ii) maintenance work on equipment, software and/or editorial content of the Site, and/or (iii) the incidence of a case of ‘force majeure’. The eventuality of the temporary or definitive unavailability of the Site can in no way give rise to a request for damages or any other form of compensation.

It is reminded that (i) the transmission of data over the Internet benefits from only relative reliability, circulating over heterogeneous networks of differing characteristics and capacities, that are sometimes saturated at certain times of day and thus likely to affect loading times or accessibility to data, (ii) Internet is an open network and, as a result, the information that it conveys is not protected against risks of misappropriation, intrusion of your system, the hacking of data, software and files in your system, contamination by computer viruses, and (ii) it is the User’s responsibility to take all the appropriate measures in order to protect their system and its contents against contamination by viruses as well as any attempts at intrusion. As a result, ArianeGroup will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the access, the use and/or the unavailability of the Site, and in particular for any loss of data/software, any contamination by virus, any financial prejudice or harm to business and/or any damage to reputation. In all events and within the limitations of the law, the responsibility of ArianeGroup cannot be engaged without proven fault, within a 12-month period following the occurrence of the operative event and is limited to the amount for services collected over the last 12 months by ArianeGroup. ArianeGroup reserves the right to carry out maintenance operations and updates during which the products and services will be unavailable. ArianeGroup reserves the right, in particular, to add or delete features, to change the appearance of the tool’s interface or to insert hyperlinks, promotional or other.
