Accessing the website and using its services imply full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms. Anyone who does not accept these conditions is invited not to use the website.
Article 1 – Definitions
For the purposes of these Terms, the following terms are defined as follows:
"Website": the website published by the firm, accessible at the address set out in the preamble, together with all of its pages and features.
"Publisher" or "Firm": the legal professional who publishes the website, as identified in the legal notice.
"User": any natural or legal person accessing the website, whether or not they use the services offered.
"Contact form": the online form allowing the User to send a request for information or an initial enquiry to the Firm.
"Appointment": any consultation, meeting or scheduled exchange between a User and a lawyer of the Firm, in whatever format (in person, by telephone, by video conference).
"Content": all texts, articles, publications, images, data and information present on the website.
Article 2 – Purpose and scope
The purpose of these Terms is to define the conditions and arrangements under which Users may access the website and use the services made available to them, including:
Consulting the informational content published by the Firm;
Sending a message via the contact form;
Making contact with a view to a possible appointment, arranged directly with the Firm (by telephone, email or video conference) further to a message sent via the contact form.
These Terms apply to any access to the website, from any type of device (computer, tablet, smartphone) and regardless of the country from which the User connects, subject to the mandatory provisions of the law applicable to their situation.
The Firm reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Amendments take effect as soon as they are posted online. It is the responsibility of each User to consult them regularly. Use of the website after amendments have been published constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
Article 3 – Access to the website
The website is accessible free of charge and without prior registration to any User with an internet connection. Connection costs are borne solely by the User.
The Firm endeavours to keep the website available 24/7. However, interruptions may occur for reasons of maintenance, updates, technical failures or force majeure. The Firm cannot be held liable for the consequences of any such unavailability.
The User acknowledges that they have the skills and equipment necessary to access and use the website. It is their responsibility to take all appropriate measures to protect their own data and equipment against any potential harm.
Article 4 – Contact form
4.1 Purpose and operation
The contact form allows the User to send the Firm a request for general information or an initial enquiry. It is not intended to replace a legal consultation. This request may also concern the booking of an appointment: the Firm will then get back to the User personally and directly, by telephone or email, to agree the arrangements.
Any request sent via the contact form will be handled by the Firm as soon as possible, without the Firm being bound by any guaranteed response time.
4.2 Information provided
The User is invited to complete the following fields: subject of the request, first name and last name, email, telephone number, company and their message.
The User undertakes to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information. They must ensure that they do not communicate through this form any sensitive data within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR (health data, data relating to criminal offences, political opinions, etc.), nor any information likely to be covered by professional secrecy in the context of a client relationship already established with another lawyer.
4.3 No client relationship
Sending a message via the contact form does not create any contractual relationship between the User and the Firm, and does not entail any commitment on the part of the Firm to respond to the request or to accept the matter.
A client relationship can only be established after signing a fee agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Law of 31 December 1971 and the National Internal Regulations of the legal profession.
4.4 Confidentiality
Information sent via the contact form is processed confidentially by the Firm, in accordance with its privacy policy. It is not covered by lawyer-client professional secrecy until a formal client relationship has been established.
Article 5 – Informational nature of the published content
The articles, posts, guides and other content published on the website are intended for information and educational purposes only. They are drafted in general terms and cannot constitute personalised legal advice, nor engage the professional liability of the Firm.
Any specific situation requires a dedicated analysis that can only be carried out within the framework of a formally established client relationship. The User is invited not to take any legal decision on the sole basis of the content published on the website.
The Firm endeavours to keep the content up to date but does not guarantee its completeness or its suitability for an individual situation. As the law is liable to change, the information published may no longer reflect the state of the law at the date it is consulted.
Article 6 – Intellectual property
All content published on the website (texts, articles, layouts, logos, illustrations, and any other element) is protected by intellectual property law and remains the exclusive property of the Firm or its licensors.
Any reproduction, representation, extraction, adaptation or distribution, in part or in full, of this content, without the Firm's prior written authorisation, is strictly prohibited and constitutes an infringement punishable under Articles L.335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.
By way of exception, reproduction for strictly personal and private use, not intended for collective use, is tolerated in accordance with the provisions of Article L.122-5 of the French Intellectual Property Code.
Article 7 – User obligations and conduct
The User undertakes to use the website and its services in good faith, in compliance with the applicable regulations and these Terms. In particular, they must refrain from:
Transmitting via the contact form any false or misleading information, or information likely to mislead the Firm;
Using the website's services for unlawful or fraudulent purposes, or purposes contrary to public order or public morality;
Attempting to impair the proper functioning of the website, in particular through cyberattacks, the introduction of viruses or any other malicious process;
Automatically collecting data or content present on the website without the Firm's prior authorisation;
Using the Firm's contact details for unsolicited commercial prospecting (spam).
Any breach of these obligations may result in the immediate termination of access to the website's services, without prejudice to any legal action that the Firm reserves the right to bring.
Article 8 – Limitation of liability
The Firm makes every effort to ensure the quality and reliability of the website and the services offered. However, its liability cannot be engaged in the following cases:
Temporary or permanent unavailability of the website, for whatever reason;
Inaccuracy or insufficiency of the information published for information purposes on the website;
Damage resulting from use of the website that does not comply with these Terms;
Damage caused by third parties or resulting from a computer intrusion;
Content of third-party websites to which the website refers via hyperlinks;
Consequences of a decision taken by the User on the sole basis of the information published on the website, in the absence of a formal legal consultation.
In any event, the Firm's liability may only be sought for direct and foreseeable damage resulting from a proven fault on its part.
Article 9 – Hyperlinks
The website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for information purposes only. The Firm exercises no control over the content, availability or privacy practices of these websites and disclaims all liability in respect of them.
The creation of hyperlinks pointing to the website is subject to the Firm's prior written authorisation. For any request, the User may contact the Firm using the details set out in the legal notice.
Article 10 – Protection of personal data
The processing of personal data collected in connection with the use of the website and its services is governed by the website's privacy policy, accessible at:
https://www.laglasse-avocat.fr/en/politique-confidentialite
This privacy policy forms an integral part of these Terms. By accepting the Terms, the User acknowledges that they have read the privacy policy and accept its terms.
Article 11 – Cookies
Use of the website may result in cookies being placed on the User's device. The conditions for placing, managing and refusing cookies are described in the cookie policy accessible at:
https://www.laglasse-avocat.fr/en/politique-cookies
Article 12 – Force majeure
Neither party may be held liable for the total or partial non-performance of its obligations if such non-performance results from an event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code, that is to say an event beyond the parties' control, unforeseeable when the contract was concluded and irresistible in its effects.
The following, in particular, constitute cases of force majeure: natural disasters, acts of terrorism, armed conflicts, declared epidemics, general failures of telecommunications or electricity networks, and more generally any event beyond the parties' control.
The party invoking a case of force majeure must inform the other party as soon as possible and endeavour to limit its effects.
Article 13 – Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by French law.
In the event of a dispute relating to the interpretation, validity or performance of these Terms, and failing an amicable resolution within thirty (30) days of one of the parties notifying the dispute, the competent courts shall be those within the jurisdiction of the bar to which the publishing lawyer is registered, unless a mandatory legal provision provides otherwise.
If the User qualifies as a consumer within the meaning of the French Consumer Code, they may make free use of the consumer mediation service competent for the legal profession:
National Consumer Mediator for the legal profession
Postal address: MĂ©diateur de la consommation de la profession d'avocat, 180 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris
Email: mediateur-conso@mediateur-consommation-avocat.fr
Website: https://mediateur-consommation-avocat.fr
By way of exception, disputes relating to the amount and recovery of the lawyer's fees fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the President (bâtonnier) of the Paris Bar, subject to appeal before the First President of the Paris Court of Appeal, in accordance with Articles 174 et seq. of Decree No. 91-1197 of 27 November 1991 organising the legal profession. This procedure, which is a matter of public policy, concerns only fee disputes and not other disputes (professional liability, disputes relating to the website, etc.), which fall within the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts.
Article 14 – Miscellaneous provisions
If any of the provisions of these Terms is declared void or unenforceable by a competent court, the other provisions shall remain in force and retain their full effect.
The fact that the Firm does not, at a given time, rely on a provision of these Terms shall not constitute a definitive waiver of its right to rely on it subsequently.
