1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Website and all the elements of which it is composed or which are made available to Users, in particular trademarks, logos, photographs, programs, source codes, object codes, data, databases, animated or non-animated images, sounds, drawings, graphics, videos, texts, layout, appearance, structure, and any other element not relating to hypertext links to third-party sites, are the property of Sogea-Satom or are subject to a license granted to it by the beneficiaries of the intellectual property rights.

All these elements are subject to the provisions of French and international regulations applicable to intellectual property, in particular the French Intellectual Property Code, and are therefore protected against any use that is not authorized by law or under these GTCs.

4. LIABILITY

The Website is provided to Users free of charge. While Sogea-Satom endeavors to provide a reliable Website, it cannot guarantee that it is always free from errors, inaccuracies or omissions, downtime, faults or defects. Furthermore, Sogea-Satom does not guarantee the accuracy, quality, lawfulness or fitness for a particular purpose of the Website, the services offered and the content published on it. As a result, Users acknowledge that they alone are responsible for their use of the Website, the services offered and the content published on it.

Users acknowledge having read the GTCs and undertake to comply with them. Users alone are responsible for the use they intend to make of the Website and its services, as well as for protecting the security and integrity of their data, hardware and software when using the Website or its services in any way whatsoever.

Therefore, Sogea-Satom shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from:

·      any malfunction or contamination of a User’s computer equipment during or after browsing the Website, inaccessibility or poor conditions of use attributable to that equipment, the internet service provider, internet network congestion, or any other reason outside Sogea-Satom’s control;

·      IT or telephone communication costs incurred by the use of this equipment, which are exclusively the User’s responsibility and shall not be borne by Sogea-Satom;

·      any temporary or permanent interruption of all or part of the Website’s features, in particular during the maintenance, modification or updating of the Website, in the event of a technical incident or, more generally, if an event occurs that is out of Sogea-Satom’s control;

·      any consequences that may arise from the content of third-party websites whose hyperlinks may be present on the Website;

·      any indirect damage sustained by a User;

any damage sustained by a User or a third party resulting from use of the Website that does not comply with these GTCs;

·      any breach of the obligations set out in these GTCs due to or originating from a random event or a case of force majeure as defined by article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

If Sogea-Satom is held liable for damage not provided for in the present clause, its liability shall be limited to certain, actual and direct damage.

Subsequently, Sogea-Satom, its directors, employees and, in general, its representatives and partners, as well as VINCI Group companies, may not be held liable for any indirect damage resulting from the use of the Website, the services offered and the content published on it, and in particular for loss of earnings, loss of profit, loss of opportunity or damage resulting from the loss of data caused by not being able to use the Website and its services.

5. MODIFICATION

The GTCs are precisely dated and may be modified and updated by Sogea-Satom at any time, particularly in the event of changes to the Website or any applicable regulations.

The applicable GTCs are those published on the Website at the time Users access the Website. As a result, Users are asked to consult the GTCs each time they access the Website.

This version of the GTCs replaces all previous versions.

6. WEBSITE SUSPENSION

Sogea-Satom reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend access to some or all of the Website or the services offered on it, in particular in the event of the termination of the business related to the provision of the Website or in the event of collective proceedings.

Subject to applicable law, Users agree that these GTCs binding them to Sogea-Satom may be assigned, transferred or passed on in any way whatsoever. In the event of a transfer of the company to a third party, these GTCs binding the User to Sogea-Satom shall automatically be transferred to the transferee.

8. HYPERLINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES OR EXTERNAL SOURCES

The Website may include hyperlinks to websites or internet sources other than those published by Sogea-Satom. Sogea-Satom cannot control these websites and external sources, therefore Sogea-Satom cannot be held liable for the availability of these websites and external sources, and thus declines all liability for the content, advertising, products, services or any other material available on or from these websites or external sources. The decision to click on hyperlinks therefore lies exclusively with the User.

Sogea-Satom reminds Users that non-affiliated external websites or internet sources are subject to their own general terms and conditions of use.

If Users wish to create a hyperlink to the Website, they must obtain prior written consent from Sogea-Satom by sending an email to the following address: contact@sogea-satom.com

Sogea-Satom may, at its sole discretion, accept or reject any request made for this purpose. Sogea-Satom is under no obligation to accept any such request, nor to provide any reason for rejecting any such request.

9. VALIDITY OF THE GTCs

Each clause of the GTCs applies separately. Any change in the currently applicable regulations, or any decision by a court or competent authority invalidating one or more clauses of the GTCs will not affect the overall validity of the GTCs. This type of modification or decision in no way permits Users to disregard the valid provisions of the GTCs.

10. LANGUAGE

These GTCs were originally written in French. If they are translated into any other language(s), only the French text will be deemed admissible in the event of a dispute.

11. APPLICABLE LAW/JURISDICTION

These GTCs and the operations arising from them are governed, interpreted and applied in accordance with French law.

In the event of a dispute relating to their interpretation or execution, Sogea-Satom and the User will seek an amicable agreement before taking any legal action, and will provide each other with all necessary information for this purpose.

Failing an amicable agreement between Sogea-Satom and the User within two (2) months of notification of the dispute to the other party, jurisdiction is expressly given to the courts of Nanterre.
