If any part of the ToU is found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under a law, regulation, or court ruling, such provision shall be deemed unwritten, without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in effect.
The Publisher’s tolerance of any situation does not grant any rights to the User. The Publisher’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not be interpreted as a waiver thereof.
These ToU are governed by French law. If the User’s country of residence provides stronger consumer protection standards, those standards shall prevail over any conflicting provisions in the ToU.
In the event of a dispute concerning the formation, execution, and/or interpretation of the ToU, and in the absence of an amicable resolution, jurisdiction is expressly granted to the competent courts of Bordeaux, France.
