ARTICLE 4. PURPOSE OF THE SITE
The Site is intended for the sale of Products to Clients.
ARTICLE 5. ORDER PROCESS
5.1. Order

Creating a personal account is a prerequisite for any order by an Internet User on the Site. The User will be required to provide certain personal information, some of which are essential for creating the account. Failure to provide this information will prevent account creation and consequently, the order validation.
The User will also be asked to choose a password to ensure the confidentiality of their personal account information. The User is prohibited from sharing this password with others. Otherwise, the Publisher cannot be held responsible for unauthorized access to the User’s personal account.
The Client agrees to regularly check and update their personal data in their account as necessary.
8.2. Account Content
The personal account allows the Client to view and track all orders placed on the Site.
The pages related to personal accounts can be printed by the account holder but are not considered admissible evidence in court. They are for informational purposes to facilitate order management.
The Publisher commits to securely storing all contractual elements that are legally required to be preserved.
8.3. Account Deletion
The Publisher reserves the right to delete any Client’s account that violates these terms, particularly when providing false, incomplete, or fraudulent information, or if the account has been inactive for at least a year. The deletion will not constitute a fault by the Publisher or cause any damages for the excluded Client, who will not be entitled to compensation.
This exclusion is without prejudice to the Publisher's right to take legal action against the Client if warranted.
