8. Force majeure

8.2 In the event of delays, CARASSO shall fulfil its obligations as soon as possible and reserves the right to distribute the remaining stocks of products among its customers in an equitable manner.

9. Data Protection and Security

9.1 The Customer may place an order on the Site without creating a Customer account.

9.2 When connecting to the Site or communicating electronically with CARASSO, the Customer’s data passes through a public network accessible to all. It may also happen that the data crosses borders, even if the sender and the recipient reside in the same country. It is therefore not excluded that third parties may have access to such information and that they may deduce the existence of a contractual relationship with CARASSO.

9.3 CARASSO may collect, in particular by means of “cookies”, data relating to the use of the Site, including in particular the IP address of the Customer or of any other visitor, which are used for statistical, security, system monitoring, management, marketing and legal and regulatory compliance purposes. This data is anonymous.

9.4 Personal data is expressly collected online when the Customer registers to place an order. Registration gives CARASSO the opportunity to collect basic information such as the first name, surname, postal address, e-mail address, telephone, mobile and/or fax number.

9.5 CARASSO also reserves the right to record the first and last names, e-mail address and the content of correspondence of any person who sends an e-mail to a CARASSO employee or to the Site manager, in particular in order to be able to reply to him or her or to inform him or her of the progress of his or her order.

9.6 The information required by CARASSO at the time of online registration is limited to that which is necessary for CARASSO to provide the best possible service and follow-up. Mandatory information is clearly indicated by an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the field to be filled in.

9.7 CARASSO shall not be liable for any inaccuracies in personal data if such inaccuracies are due to incorrect information provided by the Customer. In the event of inaccuracy due to other causes, CARASSO’s liability shall be limited exclusively to granting the Customer the right to access and correct personal data in accordance with Art. 10 below.

9.8 Although CARASSO shall make every effort to protect personal data, it shall not be responsible for the security of personal data transmitted to it on the Site, as it is not possible to fully guarantee the security of transmissions over the Internet. They are communicated at the Customer’s own risk. On the other hand, CARASSO makes every effort to ensure their confidentiality as soon as they have been entered into its system and to prevent these personal data from being transmitted to third parties other than those who may be involved in processing the Customer’s order.

10. Right of access and correction of data

10.1 Subject to any legal obligations to retain the data obtained, any interested party may request, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law of 19 June 1992 on data protection, to be informed by post of the data concerning him/her by sending a written and signed request to CARASSO. If such data is no longer up to date or proves to be inaccurate or incomplete, the person concerned may request CARASSO to amend the data accordingly. The data subject may also request CARASSO to delete the data at any time.

11. Exclusion of liability

11.1 CARASSO and its directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders assume no liability for any direct or indirect loss or damage of any nature whatsoever resulting from access to the Site or from the use of the information or notices available on this Site or from the inability to access or use the information or notices available on this Site.

11. 2 In particular, the Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents and shareholders shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any error, technical or otherwise, transfer failure, overload, difficulty of use, interruption of service (including, in particular, system maintenance), delay in the transmission of information, incompatibility between this Site and the User’s files and/or software (in particular, with his or her browser) and/or computer, malfunction, interference, transmission of a virus or worm to the User’s computer, illegal intrusion (e.g. as a result of hacking), intentional blocking of telecommunications tools and networks (e.g. as a result of mass e-mailing or denial of service attacks) or any other inadequacy of telecommunications or network service providers.

12. Partial invalidity

12.1 If any of the provisions of the GTC are invalid, unenforceable or not applicable, this shall not lead to the invalidity, cancellation or non-execution of the other provisions of the GTC. The invalid, non-compliant or inapplicable provision will be replaced by another valid, compliant and applicable provision that corresponds as closely as possible to the meaning and purpose of the invalidated provision.

13. Language

13.1 Only the French version of the GTC is binding. Any translation of the GTC is for information purposes only.

14. Applicable law and jurisdiction

14.1 Swiss law is applicable.
