Postaly cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect damages that could result from the access or use of the Website or the information contained therein, whatever its nature.

Postaly makes its best efforts to propose on its Website updated information. All information brought to the attention of persons accessing the Website has been selected at a given date.

The information appearing on the Website reflects an opinion at the time of its creation and not at the time of consultation of the Website. It may need to be updated, which may not have been done at the time of consultation for technical or other reasons.

Postaly cannot be held responsible for any error or omission. Any update, new service or new feature that improves or increases one or several existing information contents will be subject to the present conditions.

Postaly declines all responsibility concerning the appropriateness of the decisions and the modalities of its execution taken by the Users on the sole faith of the information published on the Website.

Postaly declines any responsibility concerning the contents of the letters and cards sent.

The User undertakes to use the Website and all the information to which he/she may have access only to obtain information and for a purpose that is consistent with public order, good morals and the rights of third parties.

Thus, he is forbidden to publish or transmit via the Website or on the letters and postcards any illicit, prejudicial, defamatory, pornographic, hateful, racist or otherwise prejudicial element to human dignity. In case Postaly would be informed of the presence of illicit contents on the Website, Postalie would have the right to immediately delete the contents.

Postaly undertakes, moreover, not to disrupt the use that other Users may make of this Website.

The content of the Website, the general structure as well as the software, texts, animated and non-animated images, photographs, its know-how and all other elements composing the Website are the exclusive property of Postaly or of third parties who have granted it a licence.

The present general conditions of use do not imply any transfer of any kind of intellectual property right on the elements belonging to Postaly or on the elements of the partners or third parties who have granted a licence, such as sounds, photographs, images, literary texts, artistic works, software, brands, graphic charters, logos for the benefit of the consumer.

In particular, the User is prohibited from modifying, copying, reproducing, downloading, broadcasting, transmitting, commercially exploiting and/or distributing in any way whatsoever the pages of the Website, or the computer codes of the elements making up the Website.

Any reproduction and/or representation, total or partial of one of these rights, without the express authorisation of Postaly, is forbidden and would constitute an infringement likely to engage the civil and penal liability of the infringer.

Consequently, the user is forbidden to do anything that could directly or indirectly infringe Postaly's intellectual property rights.

It is the same for the databases appearing, if necessary, on the Website which are protected by the articles of the Intellectual Property Code. Any extraction or reuse, total or partial of the said databases and their content is therefore prohibited without the prior express authorisation of Postaly.

The distinctive signs of Postaly and its partners, such as domain names, brands, names and logos appearing on the website are protected by the Intellectual Property Code. Any total or partial reproduction of these distinctive signs made from the elements of the Website without the express authorisation of Postalie is therefore prohibited, in the sense of the Intellectual Property Code.

Only a use in conformity with the purpose of the Website is authorised.

Any other use, not expressly authorised in writing and beforehand by Postaly, is prohibited and constitutes an infringement.

The Parties mutually agree that the fact that one of the Parties tolerates a situation, whatever the frequency and duration, does not have the effect of granting acquired rights to the other Party, nor of modifying the present general terms of use.

Furthermore, such tolerance shall not be construed as a waiver of the rights in question.

In the event of difficulties of interpretation resulting from a contradiction between any of the headings appearing at the top of the clauses and any of the clauses, the headings shall be declared non-existent.

If one or more of the stipulations of the present general conditions of use are held to be invalid or declared as such in application of a law, a regulation or following a decision of a competent court, the other stipulations will retain all their force and scope.
