Any other use, except with the prior authorization of the Publisher and/or other rights holders, constitutes an infringement and is punishable under intellectual property law. Any total or partial reproduction of all or part of the elements present on the pages of the Services without authorization is strictly prohibited.
The content of the Site and Services is protected by the legislation in force on copyright and applicable international conventions. As the owner of its databases, the Publisher has the right to prohibit any third party from extracting, by permanent or temporary transfer of all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the content of a database to another medium, by any means and in any form whatsoever, as well as reusing, by making available to the public all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the content of the database, whatever the form.

WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The use of the Site, its Services and any element or information obtained via it is the responsibility of the User.
The User acknowledges and accepts that the Site offers Content and Services accessible according to the quality of the Internet network. The Publisher will use its best efforts to maintain the Sites in an operational state.
The Publisher undertakes to make its best efforts to ensure that the Sites are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the event of a breakdown, maintenance or force majeure. The Publisher reserves the right to interrupt access to the Sites, in particular for maintenance operations, without incurring any liability. Maintenance operations will, as far as possible, be carried out at times when the Sites are at their lowest.
The Services allowing Users to contribute content do not fall within the editorial activity of the Publisher, which only makes the Services available to Users and stores the content on its own Site. Thus, the published content cannot be considered as reflecting the opinions of the Publisher but is the sole responsibility of its author.
The Publisher, in its capacity as host, cannot be held liable for the content and/or contributions provided by Users if it was not actually aware of the content before it was posted online or if, as soon as it became aware of it, it acted promptly to remove this message.
Whatever the means of control that it would have implemented, it is understood that due to the volume of information published, the Publisher is not subject to a general obligation to monitor the information that it stores, nor to a general obligation to look for facts or circumstances revealing illicit activities, nor to an obligation of guarantee concerning the accuracy, probity or honesty of the information published by the Users.
The Publisher reserves the right to insert or authorize any third party to insert advertising, promotional and/or sponsorship messages in any space of the Site, however without any intervention on the Contents. These spaces are independent of the Contents themselves and cannot in any case call into question the liability regime of the Publisher.

The Publisher and/or its suppliers may, at any time, modify or interrupt temporarily or permanently all or part of the Services to carry out maintenance operations and/or make improvements and/or modifications to the Website.
The Publisher will endeavour to inform the User of each modification and/or interruption of the Services available on the Website.
The User acknowledges, given the nature of the Services and the Website, that the Publisher may be required to modify the content of the Website without notice, by adding or removing parts of the content of the Services.
The Publisher is only bound by an obligation of means with regard to the operation and continuity of the service. Thus, it cannot be held responsible for:
- any malfunction or interruption in the provision of the Website and Services related to or resulting from a case of force majeure, as defined by case law;
- any direct or indirect damage suffered by the User in connection with the use of the Website
- if this damage results, in whole or in part, from the action or omission of the User and/or any third party,
- if this damage is due to a technical incompatibility between the User’s equipment and that of the Website or Services.
