Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by French law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TROPES, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to:

This indemnification obligation survives the termination of these Terms and your discontinuation of Website use. We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

The Website may contain links to external websites, resources, or services operated by third parties. These links are provided solely for your convenience and informational purposes. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, approval, or recommendation by TROPES of the linked site or any association with its operators.

TROPES has no control over the content, privacy policies, practices, or availability of any third-party website. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that may arise from your interaction with any third-party website or resource. You access third-party websites entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those websites.

We encourage you to review the terms of service and privacy policies of every third-party website you visit. If you discover a link on our Website that you believe is inappropriate, broken, or potentially harmful, please contact us so we may review and take appropriate action.

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at tropes.fr/privacy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

By using the Website, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains in detail what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how cookies and tracking technologies function on our site, and what rights you have regarding your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable French data protection law.

If you submit personal data through the Website, such as through our contact form, you acknowledge that this data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will never sell your personal data to third parties. For questions or requests about your data, please contact us at [email protected].

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the French Republic, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any matters not covered by these Terms shall be resolved in accordance with French civil law and applicable European Union regulations.

Any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the competent courts located in Mont-de-Marsan, Landes, France. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, nothing in this clause shall deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory rules of the law of the country in which you reside, as provided by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 593/2008 (Rome I Regulation). EU consumers may also bring proceedings in the courts of the member state in which they are domiciled.

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Website, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith informal negotiation. To initiate this process, you must send a written description of the dispute to our registered address or email us at [email protected]. We will endeavor to respond within 14 business days.

If informal negotiation does not resolve the dispute within 60 calendar days from the date of the initial written notice, either party may escalate the matter to mediation. Mediation shall be conducted by a qualified mediator appointed in accordance with the rules of the Centre de Mediation et d'Arbitrage de Paris (CMAP) or another mutually agreed mediation body.

If mediation fails to resolve the dispute within a further 30 calendar days, either party may pursue resolution through the competent French courts as specified in the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section above.

For consumers in the European Union, the European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. This platform allows consumers and businesses to resolve disputes related to online purchases without going to court. You may use this platform if you prefer not to contact us directly first, though we encourage direct communication for faster resolution.
