ARTICLE 1: Purpose

These general terms and conditions of use are intended to define the legal framework governing how the SANTEXPAT.FR website services are made available to users.

SANTEXPAT services are accessible to any natural person.

The general terms and conditions of use must be accepted by any user wishing to access the site. They constitute the contract between the site and the user. Access to the site by the user implies full acceptance of these general terms and conditions of use.

If the user does not accept the general terms and conditions of use stipulated in this contract, they must refrain from accessing the services offered by the site. SANTEXPAT.FR reserves the right to unilaterally modify the content of these general terms and conditions of use at any time.

The website is normally accessible to users at all times. However, an interruption for technical maintenance may be decided by SANTEXPAT.FR, which will endeavour to inform users in advance of the dates and times of the intervention. The SANTEXPAT.FR website is updated regularly. Likewise, the legal notices may be modified at any time: they are nevertheless binding on the user, who is invited to refer to them as often as possible in order to take note of any changes.

Neither SANTEXPAT.FR nor the host can be held responsible for malfunctions of the internet network, telephone lines or computer and telephone equipment, particularly when they result from network congestion that prevents access to the server.

The site is accessible free of charge from anywhere to any user with internet access. All costs incurred by the user to access the service (hardware, software, internet connection, etc.) are at their own expense.

ARTICLE 8: Liability and force majeure

The sources of the information published on the site are deemed reliable. However, the site does not guarantee the reliability of these sources. The information provided on the site is for information purposes only. The user therefore assumes full responsibility for their use of the information and content on this site.

The user must ensure that they keep their password secret. Any disclosure of the password, in any form, is prohibited.

The user assumes all risks associated with the use of their login and password. The site declines all responsibility.

Any use of the service by the user that directly or indirectly results in damage must be compensated in favour of the site.

The site cannot guarantee optimal security and confidentiality of data transmitted. However, the site undertakes to implement all necessary means to ensure the best possible security and confidentiality of the data.

The site cannot be held liable in the event of force majeure or the unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party.

Any evolution or change in the site's functionalities may lead to an update and/or temporary unavailability of the site, which shall in no way incur the liability of SANTEXPAT.FR.

Likewise, SANTEXPAT.FR reserves the right to interrupt or suspend one or more functionalities offered on the site, at any time and without notice, and without having to justify its decision. In such cases, SANTEXPAT.FR’s liability may not be incurred in any way and users may not claim any compensation of any kind.

SANTEXPAT.FR may offer users access to third-party sites or participation in loyalty programmes, marketing activities or any other activities carried out on a third-party website or programme. In such cases, SANTEXPAT.FR cannot be held liable for the activities of these third parties and strongly encourages visitors to read the terms and conditions applicable to the proposed participation. In particular, third-party sites visited by the user or advertisements displayed on the site may contain 'cookies' (cookies are small text files sent by a website to your browser and stored on your computer). These cookies are managed by third parties that are independent from SANTEXPAT.FR and under their sole responsibility. SANTEXPAT.FR has no access to the data that may be collected by these cookies.

ARTICLE 9: SANTEXPAT.FR’s liability as host

SANTEXPAT.FR is under no general legal obligation to monitor content transmitted or stored via the site.

ARTICLE 10: Hyperlinks, cookies and Internet tags

Many outbound hyperlinks are present on the site; however, the web pages to which these links lead in no way incur the liability of SANTEXPAT.FR, which has no control over these links.

The user therefore undertakes not to hold the site responsible for the content and resources relating to these outbound hyperlinks.

Unless you decide to disable cookies, you accept that the site may use them. You can disable these cookies at any time and free of charge using the deactivation options available to you, as described below. Please note that this may reduce or prevent access to all or part of the services offered by the site.

10.1. Cookies

A 'cookie' is a small information file sent to the user’s browser and stored on their device (e.g. computer, smartphone) (hereinafter 'Cookies'). This file contains information such as the user’s domain name, Internet service provider, operating system, and date and time of access. Cookies do not damage the user’s device in any way.

SANTEXPAT.FR may process user information about their visit to the site, such as the pages viewed and searches carried out. This information enables SANTEXPAT.FR to improve the site's content and the user’s browsing experience.

Since cookies facilitate browsing and/or the provision of services offered by the site, the user can configure their browser to decide whether or not to accept them, so that cookies are stored on the device or, conversely, rejected, either systematically or depending on the sender. The user can also configure their browser so that acceptance or refusal of cookies is proposed each time a cookie is likely to be stored on the device. SANTEXPAT.FR informs the user that, in this case, some of the browser’s functionalities may not be available.

If the user refuses to store cookies on their device or browser, or deletes cookies already stored, the user is informed that their browsing and experience on the site may be limited. This may also occur when SANTEXPAT.FR or one of its service providers is unable to recognise, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by the device, its language and display settings or the country from which the device appears to be connected to the internet.

Where applicable, SANTEXPAT.FR declines all responsibility for the consequences linked to degraded operation of the site and any services that may be offered by SANTEXPAT.FR resulting (i) from the user’s refusal of cookies and (ii) from the impossibility for SANTEXPAT.FR to store or consult cookies necessary for their operation due to the user’s choices. For the management of cookies and user preferences, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in the browser’s help menu, which explains how the user can modify their cookie preferences.

Users may change their cookie preferences at any time. SANTEXPAT.FR may also use external service providers to help collect and process the information described in this section.

These types of cookies are stored on your device only if you consent to them by continuing to browse SANTEXPAT.FR’s website or mobile app. You may withdraw your consent to SANTEXPAT.FR storing these cookies at any time.

10.2. Internet tags

SANTEXPAT.FR may occasionally use Internet tags (also known as 'tags', action tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs or 1x1 GIFs) and deploy them through a web analytics partner that may be located (and therefore store the corresponding information, including the user’s IP address) in a foreign country.

These tags are placed both in online advertisements that enable internet users to access the site and on its various pages.

This technology allows SANTEXPAT.FR to evaluate visitors’ responses to the site and the effectiveness of its actions (for example, the number of times a page is opened and the information viewed), as well as the use of this site by the user.

The external service provider may collect information on visitors to the site and other websites using these tags, compile reports on the site's activity for SANTEXPAT.FR and provide other services relating to the use of the site and the internet.

ARTICLE 11: Term

The term of this contract is indefinite. The contract takes effect with respect to the user from the time they start using the service.

ARTICLE 12: Applicable law and jurisdiction

French law applies to this contract. In the absence of an amicable settlement of a dispute arising between the parties, only the courts within the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal shall be competent.
