ARTICLE 3. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The Site is freely accessible to all Users. Navigating the Site implies the acceptance of these general conditions by any User. A simple connection to the Site, by any means whatsoever, including via a robot or browser, constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these general conditions. Upon registration on the Site, this acceptance will be confirmed by checking the corresponding box.

The User acknowledges having fully read and accepted these conditions without restriction.

Checking the aforementioned box will be deemed to have the same value as a handwritten signature by the User. The User acknowledges the evidentiary value of the Publisher's automatic recording systems and, unless proving otherwise, waives any right to contest them in case of a dispute.

These general conditions apply to the relationships between the parties to the exclusion of all other conditions, particularly those of the User.

Acceptance of these general conditions assumes that Users have the necessary legal capacity to do so, or failing that, that they have authorization from a guardian or curator if they are incapacitated, from their legal representative if they are minors, or that they hold a mandate if they act on behalf of a legal entity.

ARTICLE 4. PURPOSE OF THE SITE

The Site aims to sell Products to Clients.

ARTICLE 5. CUSTOMER SERVICE

The customer service for the Site is accessible from Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 21:00 at the following non-premium phone number: +33 950 74 31 28, by email at: enquire@foyglobalwines.com, or by postal mail at the address indicated in Article 1 of these general conditions. In the latter two cases, the Publisher commits to providing a response within 1 working day.

ARTICLE 6. PERSONAL SPACE

6.1. Creation of the Personal Space

Creating a personal space is a prerequisite for any order by a User on the Site. To this end, the User will be invited to provide a certain amount of personal information. Some of this information is deemed essential for creating personal space. Refusal by a User to provide this information will prevent the creation of the personal space and, consequently, the validation of the order.

When creating the personal space, the User is invited to choose a password. This password guarantees the confidentiality of the information contained in the personal space. The User is therefore prohibited from transmitting or communicating it to a third party. Otherwise, the Publisher cannot be held responsible for unauthorized access to a User's personal space.

The Client agrees to regularly check the data concerning them and to make necessary updates and modifications online from their personal space.

6.2. Content of the Personal Space

The personal space allows the Client to view and track all their orders made on the Site.

Pages related to personal spaces are freely printable by the account holder but do not constitute admissible proof in a court. They are purely informative to ensure effective management of orders by the Client.

The Publisher commits to securely storing all contractual elements required by law or current regulations.

6.3. Deletion of the Personal Space

The Publisher reserves the right to delete the account of any Client who violates these general conditions, particularly if the Client provides inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or fraudulent information, or if a Client's personal space has been inactive for at least one year. This deletion shall not be considered a fault of the Publisher or a harm to the excluded Client, who cannot claim any compensation as a result.

This exclusion does not prejudice the Publisher's right to take legal action against the Client when warranted.

In the context of its services, the Publisher will process personal data of its Clients.
