Article 1 – Access to the Site: 

The Publisher endeavours to provide access to the Site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the event of force majeure or an event beyond the control of the Publisher, and subject to any breakdowns and maintenance operations necessary for the proper functioning of the Site and services.

Consequently, neither the Publisher nor VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ can guarantee the availability of the Site and/or services, the reliability of transmissions and performance in terms of response time or quality. No technical assistance is provided to the User, whether by electronic or telephone means.

The Publisher and/or VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ may not be held liable if access to this Site and/or use of the services is impossible.

Furthermore, the Publisher may be required to interrupt the Site or part of the services at any time without prior notice, without any right to compensation. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Publisher shall not be liable for any such interruptions and the consequences thereof for the User or any third party.

The responsibility of the Publisher or that of VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ, as defined in article 3 below, can only be called into question for events that are exclusively caused by a system over which the Publisher or VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ have effective control, which excludes all events that originate upstream or downstream of the Site, in particular access to the Internet network.

Article 2 – Disclaimer of liability: 

The Publisher ensures that correct and up-to-date information is made available via the Site and reserves the right to modify the content of the Site at any time and to update it. However, neither the Publisher nor VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ can under any circumstances be held responsible for any damage caused by incorrect, out-of-date or incomplete information communicated via the Site. 

It is therefore strongly recommended to check the accuracy and relevance of the information and/or documents made available on this Site. In particular, the information and/or documents may have been updated between the time they are downloaded and the time the User becomes aware of them.

The use of the information and/or documents available on this Site is the sole responsibility of the User, who assumes all the consequences that may arise, without the Publisher being held liable in this respect, and without recourse against the latter.

Neither VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ nor the Publisher may under any circumstances be held liable for any damage of any kind resulting from the interpretation or use of the information and/or documents available on this Site.

The Publisher undertakes to use all reasonable means at its disposal to enable Users to make optimal use of the services offered. The Publisher, like VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ, is therefore only bound by an obligation of means, and in no case by an obligation of result.

The Publisher, like VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ, is only liable for its fraud and gross negligence. 

Users of the Site undertake to immediately inform the Publisher of any fraudulent use of the Site and not to seek to harm the integrity or operation of the Site.

Article 4 – Hypertext links:

It is possible to create a link to the home page of the Site without the express authorisation of the Editor. The Publisher does not require any prior authorisation or request for information from a site that wishes to link to the Publisher’s Site. In any case, the Site should be displayed in a new browser window. However, the Publisher reserves the right to request the removal of any link it deems to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Site.

The Publisher has no control over the creation of links to external sites and the content of such sites, whether such sites are commercial. 

In particular, the owners of sites accessed from the Site are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to online services, including, but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to distance selling, consumer protection, false or misleading advertising, pricing, product compliance, etc.

The User’s attention is drawn to the fact that links to these other resources will cause the User to leave the Site. Therefore, the User accepts that his or her choice to access another Site, via a hypertext link, is made at his or her own risk.

Consequently, the Editor or VIP EVENTS SAINT-TROPEZ cannot be held responsible for any direct or indirect prejudice resulting from access to a site connected by a hypertext link.
