4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The User acknowledges that MCALTS is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property Rights relating to the MCALTS Site and to the Editorial Content.
No provision of these Terms of Use may be interpreted as granting the User a licence over the Intellectual Property Rights which MCALTS may own or have the exclusive right to exploit.
MCALTS grants only an authorisation to view its Editorial Content on a personal and private basis, to the exclusion of any public viewing or distribution.
Consequently, any representation, reproduction or extraction of the Editorial Content or of its website, as well as of any other Intellectual Property Right, not authorised by MCALTS is strictly prohibited under penalty of legal proceedings. The offender is liable to civil and criminal penalties, in particular those provided for in articles L. 335.2 and L. 343.1 of the French Intellectual Property Code.
5. LIABILITY
The User expressly acknowledges that they must exercise judgement in using the Editorial Content and bear all the risks relating thereto, in particular when relying on the appropriateness, usefulness or completeness of this Editorial Content, and must carry out any verification under their own responsibility.
The MCALTS team takes all the care it deems necessary in compiling the Editorial Content. However, MCALTS gives no guarantee as to the reliability of the information in the Editorial Content. Accordingly, MCALTS may not be held liable for damage resulting from the User's use, for any purpose whatsoever, of the information making up the Editorial Content.
The MCALTS Site contains Hypertext Links to websites managed by third parties. MCALTS cannot exercise any control over these sites nor assume any responsibility for their content. The inclusion of these links does not mean that MCALTS approves the material contained on these sites. MCALTS cannot be held liable for the content of these sites, and the fact that these sites are referenced on the MCALTS Site in no way engages the liability of MCALTS. MCALTS therefore gives no guarantee concerning:
- the truthfulness, currency, quality, completeness and exhaustiveness of the content of the indexed websites;
- the relevance and exhaustiveness of the indexed websites;
- difficulties in accessing and operating these websites.
The User acknowledges that:
- Use of the Services is at their own risk, in particular as regards the downloading of data, files or software that could damage their computer. In particular, MCALTS may not be held liable for any loss of data, virus, computer bug or damage affecting their computer;
- MCALTS does not guarantee that the Services offered match the User's expectations;
- MCALTS does not guarantee the quality and/or lawfulness or compliance with the law of content not created by MCALTS, in particular the content and opinions expressed by the User or distributed on external sites accessible through a Hypertext Link;
- MCALTS may not be held liable for the distribution of data by the User in breach of rights, in particular exclusive rights, held by third parties;
- MCALTS may not be held liable for damage resulting from technical causes, in particular the unavailability of its website and any defect affecting its operation;
- MCALTS may not be held liable for direct or indirect damage such as financial loss, loss of earnings, or disturbance of any nature whatsoever that could result from the use of, or the inability to use, the Services offered.
In addition, the User indemnifies MCALTS against any claim or action that may be brought against it on any basis and for any reason whatsoever, and more generally in connection with the entry of data or information, by any person who considers themselves harmed by the publication of such data or information on the website, and undertakes to hold it harmless against all judicial and extrajudicial costs that may result therefrom.
6. ACCEPTANCE OF THE RISKS OF THE INTERNET
The User declares that they are well acquainted with the Internet, its characteristics and its limits, and in particular acknowledges:
- That the Internet is an open network that MCALTS cannot control, and that data exchanges circulating on the Internet have only relative reliability and are not protected in particular against the risks of possible misappropriation or hacking;
- That the communication by the User of sensitive information is therefore carried out at their own risk;
- That they are aware of the nature of the Internet network and in particular of its technical performance and response times for consulting, querying or transferring information data.
MCALTS cannot guarantee that the information exchanged will not be intercepted by third parties, nor that the confidentiality of exchanges will be guaranteed.
MCALTS informs the User of the existence of rules and practices in force on the Internet known as Netiquette, as well as of various codes of conduct and in particular the Internet Charter, accessible on the Internet.
7. ACCESSIBILITY OF THE SERVICES
MCALTS endeavours as far as possible to keep its website accessible 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, but may interrupt access, in particular for maintenance and upgrade reasons or for any other reason, in particular technical. MCALTS is in no way responsible for these interruptions and the consequences that may result for the User.
MCALTS reserves the right to refuse any User access to all or part of the MCALTS Site unilaterally and without prior notice, in particular in the event of a manifest breach of these Terms of Use.
The User acknowledges that MCALTS may not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage arising from the removal of the User's access to the MCALTS Site.
