3. CONSENT

The User acknowledges having read and accepted the Conditions in effect on the day the Site was accessed. Carrousel reserves the right to modify these Conditions at any given time, and it is therefore up to the User to periodically refer to the latest version of the Conditions. Any use of the Site after modification of the Conditions implies an unconditional acceptance by the User of the new Conditions.

 

4. PROTECTION OF PRIVACY

Carrousel takes every care to protect any personal data you provide. You can consult our Privacy Policy.


5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The User acknowledges that Carrousel, subject to respect for the rights of others, is the sole proprietor of the Intellectual Property and content of the Site, including, among others, any video, design, text, photograph, illustration, drawing, technologies described, logo, icon, and software. Subject to the Conditions, Carrousel grants you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, limited right to access and use the services.

Use of the Site does not grant any right of ownership to the content. You may not, in whole or in part, copy, modify, adapt, publish, disseminate, distribute, retransmit, or otherwise use or exploit, in any way whatsoever, any part of this Site or any content available without the prior express written permission of Carrousel. No clause of the present Conditions shall be interpreted as granting to the User any license or right to use the Intellectual Property. Consequently, any representation, reproduction, or extraction of the Intellectual Property is strictly prohibited.


6. PERFORMANCE, FUNCTIONALITY, AND AVAILABILITY

Carrousel uses commercially reasonable efforts to make its Services available continuously, and to secure the Site by all commercially reasonable means. Carrousel takes every care to limit inconveniences caused by technical errors.

However, Carrousel cannot exclude the possibility of technical faults or unauthorized interventions. For these reasons, Carrousel cannot guarantee that access to the Service will be uninterrupted or that no other forms of nuisance can be encountered. As a consequence, Carrousel cannot be held liable for such errors, malfunctions, incidents, and problems that may result from using the Service.

Certain interruptions are also necessary to carry out modifications and improvements to the Service as well as to ensure regular technical maintenance and the updating of information. You therefore acknowledge that Carrousel has the right to interrupt access to the Service at any time and without prior notice.

 

7. ACCEPTANCE OF RISKS

The User acknowledges that the Internet is an open network, not controlled by Carrousel, and that any exchange of data circulating on the Internet benefits only from a relative degree of reliability and is not protected against potential risks of misappropriation or piracy. As such, the User accepts and acknowledges that the communication of sensitive information is done at his own risk.

Carrousel cannot guarantee that the information exchanged will not be intercepted by third parties and that the confidentiality of exchanges will be guaranteed, despite all reasonable efforts to avoid such a situation.

The Site contains hyperlinks to websites managed by third parties. Carrousel has no control over these sites and cannot be held responsible for their content. The inclusion of these links does not imply that Carrousel approves or endorses the content on these sites. Moreover, Carrousel cannot be held accountable for the content of these sites, and the fact that these sites are present on the Carrousel site does not in any case make Carrousel liable.

The User acknowledges that use of the Services is at his own risk, particularly concerning the downloading of data, files, or software that may damage his computer. Carrousel is not responsible for any data loss, computer virus, computer bugs, or damage caused to the User’s computer. Carrousel cannot be held liable for any injury, harm, or damage arising from your use of the Service.


8. USE OF INFORMATION AND ERRORS

The content of the Site is for information purposes only, unless otherwise specified. Prices, product specifications, and all other content are made available for information purposes only and may not be accurate or complete. Carrousel reserves the right to correct such errors, at its sole discretion, at any time without notice, and to refuse, cancel, or correct any order that contains errors or inaccuracies in product descriptions and prices.


9. ACCESSIBILITY TO SERVICES

Carrousel endeavours, insofar as possible, to keep its Site available 24/7, but may interrupt access, notably for reasons of maintenance, upgrading, or any other reason. In no way is Carrousel responsible for these interruptions and for the consequences that may result for the User.

Carrousel is allowed and entitled to access, at any time, Client accounts and/or profiles, particularly in cases of concern regarding misuse and in order to resolve technical problems. These interventions are intended to ensure an improvement of the Services offered and/or to protect the Users.

Carrousel reserves the right to refuse access to any User, to all or part of the Site and/or Services, unilaterally and without prior notice, notably in cases of violation of the present Conditions.


10. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

The User expressly acknowledges that judgment must be exercised when using the Site and Services, and the User bears all risks associated therewith.

The Client alone is responsible for protecting the confidentiality of his user ID and passwords as well as the confidentiality of any actions undertaken in regard to the identification or password authentication process. The Client must immediately notify Carrousel about any unauthorized use of his user ID or passwords and any other security breach. The Client must also take every possible precaution to ensure that he uses the Site under optimal security conditions.

Carrousel cannot be held liable for any damages resulting from technical causes and in particular from the unavailability of its Site and any defect in the operation thereof, including direct or indirect damages such as financial loss, loss of earnings, and difficulties of any kind that could result from the use or inability to use the Site.

The Client acknowledges that Carrousel cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect prejudice resulting from the Client’s inability to access the Site, the cancellation of one or more Services, or any incorrect or incomplete content on the Site, including any errors in product descriptions and prices.

(i) use the Site in good faith, in a reasonable manner, and not contrary to these Conditions;

(ii) not use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of this Site.
