The Site taken as a whole, together with each of the elements comprising it (in particular, texts, diagrams, tree structures, applications, animations, images, photographs, illustrations, videos, graphic or editorial representations, logos, etc.) constitute intellectual works protected by the Intellectual Property Code as well as by all other forms of applicable international legislation.

RITZ PARIS alone is authorised (directly or through the effect of licences or authorisations) to use the components comprising the Site, the domain names, trademarks, models, etc., and also the editorial images and content which are reproduced in them.

The use of all or part of the Site, notably by downloading, reproduction, transmission, representation or broadcast for purposes other than consultation and use of the Site by the Web surfer on a personal and private basis with a non-commercial aim is strictly prohibited. Any breach of these measures exposes the perpetrator to the sanctions set out both by the Intellectual Property Code, notably in respect of infringement of copyright and trademark law, and by the Civil Code in respect of civil liability.

The creation of any hypertext link linking to any of the web pages or components comprising the Site is prohibited without the prior, written authorisation of RITZ PARIS, whose authorisation may be revoked at any time. All content, website or other having a hypertext link which links to the Site or to any of the components comprising it are not under the control of RITZ PARIS, and the latter consequently declines all responsibility (particularly editorial responsibility) concerning access to these sites and their content.

RITZ PARIS strives as far as possible to keep the Site permanently accessible, but is not bound by any obligation to accomplish this. RITZ PARIS may therefore suspend access to the Site, in particular for maintenance reasons or for updating, or for all other reasons, notably technical or editorial reasons, without notice or prior information to Web surfers, without it being possible for RITZ PARIS to be held liable for the consequences of these interruptions, either for the Web surfers or for any third parties.

In addition, RITZ PARIS may not be held liable if Web surfers do not succeed in accessing all or part of the Site due to any technical fault or any problem, notably and not restrictively relating to:

• a fault and/or congestion of the Internet network,
• a fault on the part of the Internet access providers,
• a human error or error of electrical origin,
• any malicious intervention,
• all software or hardware malfunctions,
• a case of force majeure.

RITZ PARIS strives to guarantee, to the best of its abilities, the accuracy and updating of information broadcast on the Site, the content of which it reserves the right to amend at all times and without notice.

However, RITZ PARIS cannot guarantee the correctness, accuracy and completeness of the information made available on the Site; such information constitutes neither a guarantee nor an undertaking on the part of RITZ PARIS with regard to the Web surfer. In particular, RITZ PARIS may not be held liable:

• for any inaccuracy, error or omission of the said information;
• for any damage resulting from a computer inteference by a third party having led to a modification of the said information;
• and, generally, for any damage, whether direct or indirect, whatever the causes, origins, natures and consequences thereof, relating to access (or to the impossibility of accessing the Site), to the content, the use of the Site and/or to the credit granted to any information originating from it
