The Subscriber declares and guarantees that the information communicated via the form is accurate, sincere and up-to-date. In the event of a change in his or her situation, the Subscriber undertakes to modify the parameters of his or her account accordingly.
The Subscriber must then create a password and access the “Login” page, from where, after verifying his or her login and password, he or she will be able to access Content reserved for Subscribers. Access to reserved Content may not be immediate due to technical considerations, temporary unavailability or verification.
- Subscription duration
The subscription is taken out for a period of 12 months from the date of subscription. At the end of this initial period, it will be renewed automatically and without formality for successive 12-month periods, unless terminated by the Subscriber by email to contact@legi-art.com, accompanied by a simple letter to LEGI-ART, Service Abonnement, 4 rue Brunel, 75017 Paris, at least one month before the expiry of the current period.

The identification e-mail address must be individual and nominative. The use of generic addresses, such as contact@_____.fr, is prohibited.
Subscriptions are strictly personal to the Subscriber concerned. The Subscriber agrees not to communicate his/her login and password to a third party or to allow a third party, in any way whatsoever, to use his/her account or to access Content reserved for Subscribers.
The access code is strictly confidential and personal. Subscribers are entirely responsible for any use made of their account.
The Publisher must be informed immediately of any breach of security or confidentiality of an account or of any unauthorized use of an account.
The subscriber is hereby informed that the Publisher may carry out random checks of compliance with these confidentiality undertakings, based in particular on the IP addresses used to connect to the sites, and that the observation, for example, of connections using the Subscriber’s personal codes from an abnormally high number of IP addresses of different origin, or an abnormally high number of pages displayed from a single IP address, will be sufficient to demonstrate a breach by the Subscriber of his obligations and will justify the immediate suspension of the subscription.
- Unilateral suspension or termination of subscription
In the event of non-payment of the invoice within the required timeframe, or breach by the Subscriber of any of his obligations, the Publisher reserves the right to suspend the User’s subscription immediately and without formality or formal notice. For the same reasons, it may immediately terminate the subscription by simple notification to the Subscriber by e-mail to the address communicated by the latter.
- Content modification
The Publisher reserves – expressly and without compensation – the right, without prior notice and at any time (i) to modify all or part of the Content, its updates, as well as, where applicable, its presentation or support, and (ii) to interrupt and/or (iii) to delete any Content. The Publisher remains free to modify the nature, form and frequency of the updating elements provided as part of the subscription.
- Accessibility
Internet services are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except in the event of (i) force majeure, (ii) events beyond the control of the Editor and/or the host, (iii) any breakdowns or maintenance operations necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the service. Such interruptions shall not give rise to any compensation from the Publisher.
The Publisher undertakes to use all means at its disposal to ensure good quality access to the Content and to ensure the reliability and rapidity of the data it distributes.
The Subscriber declares that he/she is aware of and accepts the characteristics and limits of the transmission of information via the Internet network, as well as the costs associated with connection to said network. In particular, it is the User’s responsibility to ensure that the technical characteristics of the hardware and software they use enable them to access the Services in good conditions, and to take all appropriate measures to protect themselves from contamination by any malicious programs.
- Intuitu personae
The subscription is concluded intuitu personae for the exclusive internal use of the Subscriber. The User agrees not to assign or transfer, in whole or in part, the subscription and/or any rights and obligations arising therefrom to a third party by any means whatsoever, whether in return for payment or free of charge, or by contribution of goodwill. He/she shall also refrain from making the Content available, even free of charge, to any person not expressly authorized to do so.

The Subscriber remains solely responsible for the suitability of the Contents for his or her needs, and acknowledges having received the necessary and sufficient advice and information on (i) their conditions of use, (ii) their capacities and (iii) their performance limits. The Subscriber remains solely responsible for the use and/or information contained in the Contents and/or the interpretations he/she makes of the documents and data he/she consults, the results he/she obtains, deduces and/or issues, the advice he/she gives, the questions he/she formulates and the actions he/she takes on the basis of the answers and documents provided. The Subscriber is informed that the Subscription is intended for professionals and that it is in no way intended to substitute for their judgment or to assume their responsibilities. The Subscriber accepts that the answers provided by the Publisher may contain inaccuracies or omissions. The Subscriber expressly acknowledges that in no event shall the Publisher be liable for any direct or indirect damages whatsoever, resulting from (i) an unsuccessful, defective or partially erroneous search or (ii) the misuse of information and in particular inaccurate or incomplete information, (iii) an indexing error, (iv) a delay in putting information online, (v) insufficient completeness, etc., of data contained in the Content. The Publisher may only be held liable in the event of (i) fault or negligence attributable exclusively to it, (ii) proven fault or negligence, and (iii) limited to direct damage, to the exclusion of any indirect damage of any kind whatsoever, in particular loss of opportunity, loss of results or loss of use. The total amount of compensation and any sum payable by the Publisher may not exceed – for any reason whatsoever – the total amount of the price paid by the Subscriber over the last twelve (12) months. The Subscriber waives all recourse against the Publisher beyond a period of one (1) year after the occurrence of a damaging event.
