However, NV IMAGE does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, exhaustiveness and/or the update of all content (including, but not limited to, photos, videos, texts, pricing indicators and statistics, etc.) accessible on CREATIVES’ TOOL.

Furthermore, where hyperlinks directing Users to third-party websites are present on CREATIVES’ TOOL, regardless of the technique used, NV IMAGE shall not be held liable for the functioning or availability of the content of such third-party websites.

• Acts/damage suffered by the User caused by force majeure or events beyond NV IMAGE’s control,
• Acts resulting in indirect or unforeseeable damage to the User,
• Material damage or technical and IT failures related to browsing or use of CREATIVES’ TOOL.

All elements accessible on CREATIVES’ TOOL, including but not limited to interfaces, graphics, texts, information, videos, images, trademarks, logos, signs, domain names, databases, source code, algorithms used to provide pricing indicators and statistics, and more generally any material or intangible elements appearing on or composing CREATIVES’ TOOL (the “Protected Elements”), are protected by intellectual property rights and are the exclusive property of NV IMAGE.

The User is therefore prohibited, without the prior express consent of NV IMAGE, and subject to civil and criminal penalties, from:

• Reproducing or having reproduced the Protected Elements, in whole or in part, whether temporarily or permanently, by any means, on any medium, in any format, by any process, whether known or unknown to date,

This prohibition shall apply without geographical limitation, for the entire duration of protection granted under intellectual property law, and for all forms of exploitation, whether free of charge or for consideration.

NV IMAGE expressly objects to any text and data mining and web scraping operations within the meaning of Article L.122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code. This objection applies to all content available on CREATIVES’ TOOL, including the Protected Elements.

Accordingly, any text and data mining or web scraping operations targeting the content of the platform, including through automated data collection tools, shall constitute acts of infringement, unless prior written authorization has been obtained from NV IMAGE.

Pursuant to Article R.122-28 of the French Intellectual Property Code, which provides that the objection referred to in paragraph III of Article L.122-5-3 may be expressed by any means, including through the terms and conditions of use of a website, the absence of metadata associated with the website, its directories or its content shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the objection expressed in these ToU.

As the owner of CREATIVES’ TOOL, NV IMAGE places particular importance on the protection of Users’ privacy and personal data.

In this respect, NV IMAGE undertakes to process such personal data in compliance with French Law N°78-17 of 6 January 1978 relating to Information Technology, Data Files and Civil Liberties, as well as EU General Data Protection Regulation No. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016.

For further information regarding the processing of their personal data, Users are invited to consult NV IMAGE’s Privacy Policy, available at the following link: Privacy Policy.

Any circumstances beyond the control of the Parties preventing the performance of their obligations under normal conditions shall be considered as grounds for exemption from liability for each Party and shall result in the suspension of their obligations.

The Party invoking such circumstances must immediately notify the other Party of their occurrence, as well as of their cessation.

All facts or circumstances that are irresistible, external to the Parties, unforeseeable, unavoidable, independent of the Parties’ will, and which cannot be prevented by them despite all reasonably possible efforts, shall be considered as events of force majeure. The following are expressly considered, in particular, as events of force majeure: blockage of means of transport or supply, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, lightning strikes, disruption of telecommunications networks or difficulties specific to telecommunications networks external to the Parties, fire in a data center, and pandemics.

In the first instance, the force majeure event shall suspend the performance of the ToU.

If the force majeure event lasts for more than sixty (60) days, the ToU may be terminated automatically, without any judicial formality, by either Party by written notice to the other Party.

These ToU shall be governed by French law.

Any dispute arising from the formation, interpretation or performance of the ToU, for any reason whatsoever, shall first be subject to an attempt at conciliation between the Parties.

Failing such conciliation, any dispute between the Parties arising from the formation, interpretation, performance, termination or expiration of these Terms shall be brought before the competent courts within the jurisdiction of the Paris Court of Appeal. However, any User qualifying as a consumer within the meaning of French consumer law shall remain entitled to bring proceedings before the courts of their place of residence.
