The Site may contain hypertext links referring to third-party websites.

In this regard, given the evanescent nature of the content that may be broadcast on the websites to which the said hypertext links point, BOKS' liability may not be engaged in the event that the content of the said third-party websites contravenes the legal and/or regulatory provisions in force.

In any event, BOKS may not be held liable:

  • in the event of unavailability of the Services for reasons such as the failure of the public electricity network, the failure of cabled telecommunications networks, the loss of connectivity to the Internet network due to public or private operators, in particular of the User, for whatever cause, in particular strikes, storms, earthquakes or any other cause having the characteristics of force majeure;

  • within the limits of the legislation in force, for any indirect damage including in particular loss of profit, of data or any other loss of intangible property, and this even if BOKS has been informed of the potential for such damage, which may arise (i) from the use or the impossibility of using the Site and/or the Services (ii) following access to the Site and/or the said Services by an unauthorized User.

BOKS may not be held liable for any malfunction of any nature whatsoever relating to the User's computer hardware as well as to their Internet access connection, when accessing the Site and more generally the Services.

Article 9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

9.1. Copyright on the Site

BOKS is the holder or the licensee of the intellectual property rights of both the general structure of the Site and its content (texts, slogans, graphics, images, videos, photos, programs, Products and other content). Consequently, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 9.5, any representation, reproduction, modification, distortion and/or total or partial exploitation of the Site and/or the Services and/or the Products, by any process whatsoever and on any medium whatsoever, without the express and prior authorization of BOKS, is prohibited and constitutes acts of copyright infringement.

Likewise, any unauthorized exploitation of the Site and/or the Services and/or the Products engages the criminal and civil liability of the User on the basis of copyright infringement.

The User acknowledges and accepts that access to the Site and/or the Services and/or the Products made available by BOKS may not entail any assignment or concession of intellectual property rights (copyright in particular) and other personality rights (right to one's image, to respect for private life) for the benefit of the User.

Access to the Site and to the Services and Products is exclusively limited to the private and personal use of the User under the conditions and limits defined in these GTU.

9.2. Distinctive signs

The trademarks, logos, corporate names, acronyms, trade names, signs and/or domain names of BOKS and/or its commercial partners mentioned on the Site and/or the Products, made available by BOKS on the Site, constitute distinctive signs that may not be used without the express and prior authorization of their holder.

Any representation and/or reproduction and/or partial or total exploitation of these distinctive signs is therefore prohibited and constitutes trademark infringement, usurpation of corporate name, trade name and domain name, engaging the tortious civil liability of its author.

9.3. Hypertext links

The hypertext links accessible on the Site and/or within the framework of the Services, towards other websites and generally towards all resources existing on the Internet, may not engage BOKS' liability.

The User may under no circumstances set up hypertext links to deep pages of the Site, allowing access to the Services, by any technical process intended to bypass the Customer identification field or to carry out the harvesting of all or part of the content of the Services made available by BOKS.

The "framing" technique is prohibited, except with the express and prior authorization of BOKS.

9.4. Databases

The User irrevocably acknowledges that the Site and the Services, including the structure and/or the arrangement of the Products, are made up of one or more databases made available to Users by BOKS as producer of the said databases within the meaning of the provisions of Articles L.341-1 et seq. of the Intellectual Property Code.

Consequently, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 342-1 of the same Code, the User refrains from carrying out:

  • the extraction by permanent or temporary transfer of all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the content of one or more of the databases accessible on the Site and/or the Services, including the structure and/or the arrangement of the Products, onto another medium, by any means and in any form whatsoever, including for the purposes of use or consultation by a medium and/or process(es) not authorized by BOKS;
  • the reuse, by making available to the public all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the content of one or more of the databases accessible on the Site and/or the Services, including the structure and/or the arrangement of the Products, in whatever form, including by a hypertext link, a medium and/or process(es) not authorized by BOKS;
  • the constitution, publication, maintenance, updating, importation, exportation, making available to third parties, free of charge or for a fee, and participation in the aforementioned acts, of a competing database derived from all or part of one or more of BOKS' databases;
  • the display on a screen by a process or medium other than those by which BOKS intends to disclose the Site and the Services, including the structure and/or the arrangement of the Products;
  • generally, any extraction, use, storage, reproduction, representation or preservation, direct or indirect, partial or total, including in buffer or temporary memory, qualitatively or quantitatively substantial of the content of one or more of BOKS' databases, committed by one of the processes referred to above is strictly prohibited, including by a medium not authorized by BOKS.

9.5. Content of the Services

The User acknowledges and accepts that access to the Site and to the Services made available to them by BOKS may not entail any assignment or concession of intellectual property rights (copyright in particular) and other rights for their benefit, with the exception of those concerning those under the conditions and terms of the GTS and GTS.

The User acknowledges and accepts that the private and personal use granted to them by BOKS, in respect of access to its Services, excludes in particular access to the Services with a view to a collective use of its content, the reproduction, the representation, the resale, the exchange, the rental, the transfer to a third party, the modification, the adaptation, the correction, and this both free of charge and for a fee, of all or part of the Site, the Services, and their content.

These GTU express the entirety of the obligations of BOKS and of the User relating to their object.

11.3. Partial Invalidity

In the event that one or more stipulations of these GTU are considered null, deemed unwritten or declared as such pursuant to a law, a regulation or following a decision of a competent jurisdiction having the authority of res judicata in the last resort, the other stipulations shall retain all their force and scope and shall remain fully applicable, unless the invalid stipulation(s) had a substantial character and their disappearance called into question the contractual balance.
