  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

BNC and all the elements which compose it in particular the marks, logos, photographs, programs, data, data bases, images animated or not, sounds, drawings, graphics, videos or texts and other than those relating to links towards third sites are the property of BNC or are the object of a license granted to its profit by any holder of intellectual property rights.

All these elements are subject to the provisions of the intellectual property code and, as such, are protected against any unauthorized use by law or these General Conditions of Use under penalty – in the event of failure – of legal proceedings. The Website’s consultation does not imply any license or assignment of rights with respect to the Website elements, except as expressly provided on the Website.  Any copy, reproduction, representation, adaptation or modification, distribution, in whole or in part, of the Website as well as all or part of its content, by any process whatsoever and on any medium whatsoever, is unlawful, unless prior agreement has been obtained from the Director of Publication or the holder of the rights relating to the Website element in question.

For this reason, the BNC encourages the Users to regularly consult the Website and the hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use pursuant to an evaluation of its service.

  1. ABSENCE OF WITHDRAWAL – TERMINATION – IMPREVISION

In accordance with these General Conditions of Use, You acknowledge that the services to which You have subscribed consist of contracts for the supply of goods or services, the price of which depends on fluctuations on the financial market beyond the control of the professional and likely to occur during the withdrawal period, and cannot therefore be the subject of the right to withdraw.

BNC reserves the right to close your account, after a formal notice and 7 days notice, in the event that you do not respect your obligations under these Terms of Use.

Your obligations, like those of BNC, may be suspended in the event of force majeure in accordance with these General Conditions of Use. In the event that the force majeure event lasts more than thirty (30) days, your account will automatically be closed without you or BNC being able to claim any financial compensation.

  1. CONTRACT ASSIGNMENT

As part of the transfer of the company to a third party, the hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use binding BNC to You will automatically be transferred to the assignee if the assignment does not result in a reduction of Your rights.

  1. CONVENTION OF PROOF

According to Article 1367 of the Civil code, the checking of the box by the User made in conformance with the acceptance of the hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use, establishes an electronic signature which has, between the parties, the same value as the handwritten signature.

More generally, You acknowledge that any document subject to this procedure constitutes literal proof as well as, even without such procedure, any electronic mail exchanged between BNC and You, so that any correspondence or agreement produces its legal effects to the operation in question in the same way as if it were signed by a hand-written signature.

Unless proof to the contrary is recognized as valid by a court, any electronic mail exchanged between BNC and You is opposable not only in a respective manner, but also against any third party beneficiary with the same probative force as a written document on paper.

  1. MEDIATION

In the event of a dispute related to the application and/or interpretation of the hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use, You have the possibility to use a conventional mediation procedure or any other alternative dispute resolution method.

For the individual user, any conflict or dispute known as consumer disputes, subject to contrary provisions of the Consumer Code or any other applicable provision, can be the subject of an amicable settlement by mediation with the online dispute resolution platform. To submit a dispute to the Consumer Ombudsman, the user can fill out the online dispute resolution platform form by clicking here.

  1. GOVERNING LAW / JURISDICTION

The hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use are governed by, construed and applied in accordance with French law.

Any legal disputes arising from the construing, modification, implementation, or rescinding of the hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use will, in the absence of an amicable settlement, be under the exclusive jurisdiction of French courts.

  1. LANGUAGE

The hereby General Terms and Conditions of Use are available in French and English. Together, they form one document. However, in the event of any objections or discrepancies between the two versions, the French version will prevail.
